Street Fighter V |OT| No Options to Select

Just tried online play, casual matches. First things first, why the fuck can't I choose my character? What I mean is, why doesn't it take us to the character select screen? Am I missing something in settings? Aside from setting my "favorite fighter"?

Favorite fighter is what gets instantly chosen now
 
For the record I hate the favorite fighter bullshit.
Yeah, that's pretty lame. For people who like to play a variety of characters it's not really convenient. Also, it takes some of the strategy out of picking good match ups based on your opponents choices. Oh well.
 
What I do when I set a lobby to play with a friend is Character select on and FT5 so we can play for a while and switch if we feel like it, I definitely like this new First To X option.
 
I literally cannot believe that you only unlock colors for the costume you used during survival mode. I just beat normal with Chun Li and I only unlocked 4-6 for the alt.

You could never do this online.

You can't see what your opponent picks in ranked anyway. If you're into casual sets you can opt for character select in your lobby.

The system is good. Find match up -> load fight
 
Do you use it successfully :p ? If so, any tips?

Most of the time its succesful! Working on execution and getting non-stone age internet.Sadly this isn't like a third strike parry as it's recovery can leave you open. (Can't recall exact frame data)

It's great for snatching projectiles and spam from chun-li, nash, ken etc. and making them close the gap.

Takes practice like anything in this game but it's a worth tool especially when parrying a jump in. Most of the time I can chain into cr. MP xx Hadouken/Shoryuken and it feels damn good.

Next time you get a spammer get a few parries in.
 
Is anyone else getting extremely long black screens before and after an online ranked match. Seems like it started yesterday; they weren't always this long. It's starting to get a little annoying as I'm running out of things to do while waiting for the black screen to end.
 
Just logged in today and been waiting 45 minutes for a match, got one and it was laggy as shit, it drops and my fight money goes to zero. If you're gonna have servers this goddamn broken, you need to release fucking single player modes that don't shit themselves when the servers go down. This is unacceptable.

I'm getting the same thing and not connecting to a lot of matches now. I can't believe the servers are this bad.
 
Used my CA while Ryu was in the air and before a second passed he suddenly hit the ground and blocked... Just... What the fuck.

I like this game, but the amount of bullshit I've encountered as reach levels so high, I don't think I've ever played a game with such levels of it.

Yep. Started last night for me. Unable to even connect to anyone. Was working fine before last night too.

Gave me a good excuse to practice combos at least.
 
Vanilla SF4 let you see who your opponent was picking
I thought Super did as well, that was the last Street Fighter I played before this. Could be wrong, but somehow I remember picking a character, seeing my opponents choice and then changing accordingly (as long as I hadn't locked on my choice). Might be old age ;)
 
Quick question... Can you unlock all the alt colors through a hard run? Or are they given out separately through each difficulty?

Separately. Even the alt outfits require they're own runs.

Speaking of alt outfits I have a Ryu code if anyone wants to trade a Bison or Cammy with me. PM me.
 
Easy - Spam throws and heavy attacks

Normal - Spam throws and heavy attacks until Necalli and Bison, then play seriously

Hard - good luck

Hell - lol

But my playing serious is:

Spam throws and heavy attacks!

Git Gud?

Anyone know if the beta was suppose to have some carry over to the main game, like special colors or titles?

I've started closing my eyes.
 
I'm one of those people that likes to hit random fighter so not having that option sucks for me.

I'm one of those people that hated when opponents picked random, because then the fight basically didn't mean anything.

Personally, I like fighting against people who are playing at their best, with a character they intentionally selected. Fighting against someone who randomly gets Dan or T. Hawk or some character that they clearly didn't play was like a waste of time to me. Like, what do I do? Play my hardest against them? I don't know.
 
I ended up grabbing the hori fight stick mini 4 and love it!

If i'm still playing in a year, I'm totally upgrading to a big boy stick.
 
I need to stop playing. I put in hours into this game. I need to stop. My hands fucking hurt.

But I suspect this game is going to get wild in the next few months once people start deviating from how they think they should play a character and start making their own styles. That Nash video about meter stealing already put me up against a newbie trying his luck, and since I LOVE using meter as Nash, I had to get it back from him. Really made that fight more interesting than "normal" Nash players.
 
Got the three match win trophy and then got destroyed by the Russian Bear.

I think it's fine for ranked, as I'm just trying to get good with Cammy.

In casual though? You should absolutely be able to choose.
 
I'm so salty tonight with Chun Li, I've had several matches where I feel like I know my character better yet I still get a beat down. Whenever I'm trading blows with opponents they always get the life lead, and I have no idea what quick/fast normals I can throw out to make distance or cancel them out aside from jabs. I know I can easily give up and go back to Ryu to get my win count back up, or pick other characters like Necalli or Birdie which sound easier to pick up. I just don't want to lose my progress I made in learning her so far...
