Just left ranked matchmaking going for 30 minutes. Not a single one. Man, I at least got something during the first week. I feel like things became even worse than during the launch for me.
Yo jett wanna try lounges? Hit me up if you want to try.

Out of curiosity, does the game place you correctly on the world map? I suspect that SFV is using something like GeoIP to locate players geographically, and then uses that information to narrow down the range of candidate opponents that are sent to your client. If so, then being misplaced due to inaccurate information could result in your client primarily being offered opponents who are then filtered out based on your / their connection settings.

Yup. Shows my exact position in the world map (Karachi, Pakistan) and my country flag is also set as the Pakistan flag.

I used to get matches fairly frequently (even got to Ultra Bronze) before the server maintenance, but not a single one since then.

Did you also get two different music tracks playing afterwards, when that happened? That usually happens for me if I get disconnected at that point.
Didn't really notice. I got another match quickly after that so I didn't have time to pay attention to music. Sorry.
 
Could it also be not enough players left in your region? They have abandoned the game due to bad matchmaking and not enough content? Who knows....I hope its just MM issues and not people abandoning the game like SFxTekken...

Then it should matchmake me with people from other regions with whom I have great connection quality. I've played virtually lagless matches with several American gaffers (and randoms from lounges). I'm starting to feed into conspiracy theories like Capcom purposely borking certain regions to provide better matchmaking to specific countries. :P
 
Because it's an online ladder and I'm sure people would find some way to abuse it by forcing disconnects on others. The less incentive they get for that the better.

How do you imagine that anyone could force disconnects on an opponent? If I'm understanding correctly, this would be an incredibly serious exploit, if Street Fighter V somehow made it possible to access PS4 or PC networking. The alternative (DDOS) would involve needing to know your opponent's IP, which should also not be revealed by Street Fighter V.

Similar games award wins when an opponent disconnects. It's a bit baffling to me that Street Fighter shipped without that. In most cases, it's essentially a forfeit.
 
Been switching some character's voices to japanese,JP nash is cooler and more masculier! cammy's JP CA is nice too.
No way I'm switching Nash to Japanese. Get lost! You're caught! Go to sleep! Slice you up! Moonsault! Sonic!
I'm not changing those lol.

Cammy's JP VO is probably some of the most unfitting IMO. She just sounds so nasally. Also, She's suppose to be British, so English makes sense.
 
Gawd these loading times just make me want to pull out my hair sometimes. Why does everything in this game has to load for so fucking long?

Yeah, even on a SSD it can take a surprisingly long time to load. Plus, some of the screen transitions without loads still take way too long, like the EXP and LP screens after a match (why are those two screens, anyway?). On the bright side, thanks to the FTx option in lobbies, there is almost no wait after the first match when playing against a friend, unless you want to switch character.
 
The Cammy player KillerTofu (I think that was his name) if you are a gaffer I'm sorry, I legit lost my connection.

Thankfully we were still in the first round so I hope it wasn't too frustrating.
 
To cut them a little slack, those could instead be yet more signs that management kicked the game out of the door prematurely.

Well, then there's incompetence going on at some level, still. It's even the small shit, like how players in your favorites list are listed as being in the "menu" instead of being listed as offline when they're offline. Or not being able to add someone to your favorites list directly after a fight or in a lobby. It's just silly shit sometimes, obvious shit that should be implemented as a literal afterthought. That's just some examples of many.

It's weird how frivolously we use the words "incompetence" and "embarassing" without understanding the engineering, infrastructure, vendor coordination and project management involved in global cross-platform services of this nature.

So nobody should be held responsible?
 
Game is lagging awfully this morning... 3 slideshow fights in a row...
Tried to make a battle lounge and the game just sits there with the spinning icon for 5 minutes... -_-
 
I remember trying Necalli in the Beta#2 and disliking him. I found im so boring. He was the first character I tried, by the way.

How wrong I was. I've started playing him and he's so, so, so much fun. Yeah, he is pretty straight forward, but he's certainly not as brainless as I first thought.

I plan on learning the basics of the whole cast and so far, the three I've tried (Ryu, Gief and Necalli) are super fun to play. Despite all the problems, this is a superb game.
 
Finally reached Ultra Bronze after a Silver Birdie fight, man my palms were sweaty. Managed to make a comeback in the last round.

Time to take a break and unlock some colors for Rashid.
 

Aahh sry the server just completely kicked me out :[, GGs though, I could see you getting better as the matches went on.
Also try throwing out that anti air command throw after charge HK sometimes, right now I can beat that mixup each time by just jumping, make it a 50/50.
 
I get to finally play this shit for most of the day. Are battle lounges more or less working now? Can I have more than like, 2 people in one?

I'll be BobbyRoberts on the CFN if you're looking out.
 
Connection lost :-/
Oh well I need a break anyway. Thanks for the training! This stick takes getting used to but it's fun :p. I still mess up a lot of inputs though but I'll get there (I hope). GGs!

Yeah I could see you dropping the screen bounce throw thingy a couple of times, that should be free big damage each time you land it. GGs

Yup, messed that one up a lot :p. Also had to look at my buttons sometime to see which ones I need lol. Pad is way easier so far but a stick is more fun I think. I'll have to keep practicing.
 
Ryu: JP - an absolute must
Ken: JP - yeah he's American but he's been speaking Japanese in SF games for the last like 25 years. YATTA ZE!
Bison: JP - godlike Japanese VA for him
Vega: JP - nailed the tone
Mika: JP - really not a fan of the English VA. plus she's Japanese
Karin: JP of course
Laura: JP - her English voice is doesn't sound the way she looks. Her JP voice is more playful and she's a playful character
Birdie: JP - wanted to set him on English but I dunno, he's not crazy enough for me
Chun Li: JP of course. her JP voice has character.
FANG: English. his English VA is great and fits his character
Cammy: English. her english VA fits her perfectly, much better than the Japanese. Was never a fan of Cammy's super high-pitched voice
Necalli: English. DEVOUR-OUR-OUR
Rashid: English. I like his English VA. Sounds cool
Dhalsim: English. Great English VA, no reason to go JP
Zangief: English. MY IRON BODY IS INVEEEENCIBLE! it's perfect.
Nash: English. Might change this eventually, but I don't mind the English voice.
 
I think Karin English VA is on point too.

A lot of the english VAs are good, but I generally set the asian characters to japanese anyway; karin's VA however is extremely good in english as well.

Yea Karin's is pretty good too. She got the OHOHOHOHO down which is pretty impressive.
And I also set most Japanese/Asian characters to the Japanese voices. Ryu, Chun... I tried FANG thinking "well It can't possibly be worse" I WAS VERY VERY WRONG.
Bison: JP - godlike Japanese VA for him

Really? I'll switch next chance I get.
 
I have everyones voice in japanese as usual /shrug
 
Necalli has hands down the most insane crush counter in the game. It beats my ex peach, light jabs, has huge range and works as an anti air..
 
I love the way she says her Critical Art, even though I don't understand what she's saying.

According to the wiki:
Hadorokushiki Hasha No Kata! Behold, the final attack! Oh-hohohoho!

Although I kind of think it sounds like "I'm doing a Karate Kata! A sweet hold! The Final Technique! Oh-hohohohoho!

C:
 
I hate that she says "BEHOLD THE FINAL ATTACK", I prefer the Japanese which says "Sore de, owari desu wa!", which means "This is where it ends!" in a coquettish, feminine manner of speaking
