So beating Hard past 30 doesn't retroactively unlock normal and easy? Oh that's fucking bullshit. The mode is straight up torture.

Welp, default colors for me. Thanks for locking colors behind a boring treadmill.

I use it as a way to kill some time while waiting for online matches, personally. I'll also quote myself from the last page just in case anyone needs a little help with it:

Tip for anyone trying to unlock the costumes: Activate fight request with the 'battle confirmation' option set to 'ask'. If you're doing badly in a fight, you can hit start and enter the online battle. After fighting the online battle, you'll be returned to the start of the fight with your health and meter as they were when you started previously. Basically a way of cheesing continues out of survival mode.

Unfortunately, there's no way of forcing yourself to be matched with someone else, so sometimes you'll not be able to use this method due to matchmaking. Pausing also pauses matchmaking, too, so you can't just wait it out that way.

most of the people who have the game right now probably aren't casuals. it'll start to balance out

I don't expect many casuals to get into SFV, nowadays too many competitive games with less commitment and stress.

That is dumb if true.

Any tips for Karin? I think I'm going to play as her for a while

EX Ressen Ha when in doubt. Anyone jumping towards Karin when she has meter stocked is asking for it. Won me quite a few matches since my opponents seem to get desperate when they have little health.

 

[Horseress]

So good to just chill on training mode for once without having to worry about having online matches all the time

Loving to mess around with Necalli, Cammy, Ken, Bison, FANG (he's awesome)

 

[Son Of Sparda]

5 Minutes!

 

[TheOGB]

Oh my god I'm so excited all of a sudden

I'm also full and need sleep and have to work tomorrow but dammit the Street Fighter V hype is REAL

 

[howdyjacker]

Just preordered on steam, do I get the chun-li costume?

yes you do.

 

[rjcc]

this is dropping at midnight ET?

 

[Pachimari]

I'm okay with the colors being locked behind Survival mode. I like Survival and I'm not interested in unlocking all colors - only if I'm bored one day. I plan on unlocking all the colors for Nash and Karin at least.

I just spent 2 hours reading up on all the pages since yesterday. Thank you GAF. Heading back to bed.

 

[Cleve]

Yep, 5 mins

 

[Whales]

Are names getting reset in 5 mins or not?

The only thing it's killing is my motivation to play this game.

Hopefully. I need my Sparda dammit!

 

[Pachimari]

Not really powerful mechanic, but just a new mechanic. The poison mechanic itself wouldn't be as useful, if he didn't have the V-Skill which is unblockable, can not be destroyed, and can only be dodged, but has no hit stun. Also the poison does damage on top of chip damage and there is also grey damage from blocked normals that stacks up. FYI the poison state expires either after some time or when fang gets hit.
There is also his set of tools to consider, which complements his style.

Okay, this made me think, how many different kinds of damages are there? And how can I see the differences? Chip damage, what's that?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I still don't think they're going to reset the names

 

[Filth]

Hopefully. I need my Sparda dammit!

Great idea for a name. Thanx!!

 

[Koeta]

My TE2+ doesn't come till tomorrow but I'm going to get wrecked with my WWE Brawl stick like a mofo tonight! lol

 

[Xeteh]

Hopefully. I need my Sparda dammit!

Come on Dante, stop trying to claim your father's name!

 

[Trickster]

god, why is Zangiefs ai so annoying compared to anyone else.

Trying to get the survival colors for Mika, doing the one with 30 levels, get to level 26-27, meet Zangief evertime. Dude litterally blocks every punch/kick and dodges every grab and then punishes

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Let the abuse begin.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

STEAM VERSION IS LIVE!!

GO GO GO!!

 

[Chromax]

Wait, what's this about names?

If I'm going to play the PC and PS4 version, do I need to make two usernames since it's cross-platform?

 

[Frimaire]

Here comes two!

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Great idea for a name. Thanx!!

I'm not even mad, anymore.

Come on Dante, stop trying to claim your father's name!

Lol.

Yes, you need to make two names since Capcom is dumb and won't let you make one for both platforms.

Also dumb that they're censoring certain letter combinations which makes it completely hard for some people that don't have dirty-sounding names to actually have their goddamn name.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

It begins.

Here we go!

I'd guess it's down to personal playstyles. Might be my perception, but I feel like Ryu, Nash, Cammy, Bison and Necalli have better tuned AI routines than the other characters.

The AI definitely turns it up between 25-30 on Normal survival modes. I had Bison on stage 30 (not sure if it's the same each time or not) and he was just reading every attack I made.

DECRPYT FASTER DAMMIT

Normal damage when you get hit.
Chip damage is when you block a special, cannot KO opponent outside of CA.
Grey recoverable damage when you block a normal from medium strength upwards or Dhalsims V-Trigger flame carpet. You can recover the grey damage by not getting touched.
Fang exclusive poison damage over time.

 

[StylesClash]

So seriously can we not character select online?
