Considering I just played the same dude for the SIXTH time tonight in casual, I'm inclined to think there might not be that many people playing at the moment (meaning today).


Yeah, I dabble with most characters but I'm not going to touch Bison, lol. So we would have to level up w/o Bison being part of our matches. Are you east coast?

Oh yeah, my Bison is laughable. At the very least, blow off some steam from chain losses in ranked.

Yep, East Coast!

I had that happen last weekend at a friend's who had Cox cable. The internet reset every 55 minutes because of issues on their end and it happened during a match. Once near the end where I was losing a casual and once near the end when I was winning a Rank match.

players with double what you're facing. [/url]

Ultimately I wouldn't worry about LP too much. In fact, the fact that you get a lot of high LP opponents is good because you'll learn more by playing people who make fewer mistakes and punish yours more often.

That said, I haven't touched ranked the last couple weeks because there's so many rage quits. I stick to casual and lobbies.

I've said this before but I don't agree with this philosophy. You learn a lot less getting rofflestomped as you do playing someone in your rank that is just better than you. I've lost to people I could have beat and learned quite a bit. And I've beaten top players before but it's a rarity. usually it's a stomping where I learned absolutely nothing.

Throw the person a PM

i wouldn't know who they are, bc the match doesn't save right?

I don't mind higher than me. It is the ones lower than me that catch me with a Happy Birthday and I lose an ass-ton of points.

I think in the CFN you can see the last few people that you fought...not totally sure though I could be remembering wrong

I just tried playing against a friend online for the first time. Is the the to do it REALLY as follows: battle lounge > create lounge > private slot > invite > TYPE OUT THE FIGHTER ID?

No way to search friends playing SFV? What happens when bigger lobbies are available and I want to invite my friends... Type out 7 ID's?

Please tell me I'm missing something.

You can search for people in the CFN menu and add their profiles as Favorites. Then it's selecting from a list.

But yeah, initially, gotta search for em.

You should be able to add a friend without typing out their ID each time if you add them to your favorite player/rivals CFN list. But yes, it's convoluted; perhaps a thing they will fix once the Battle Lounge expands.

Actually playing against people who are relatively as bad as you reinforces your poor habits. It's frustrating playing against the strongest opponents, but you only gain nothing if you decide not to pay attention.

When I play against DBJoseph I feel bad to the point of embarrassment, but every time I do something that makes me feel stupid it's because I made a bad choice and I can learn from it. The key is to go back and watch your matches where you lost the hardest and figure out why.

I'm sorry, but if you learned nothing getting stomped then you really aren't paying attention because you're so frustrated or confused. It's not something that sounds nice to hear, but it's the truth.

Finally made it to 450k fight money.
Despite all those matches I lost, I never lost a mirror match lol. Got a perfect KO on one ken.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I'm west coast but can play if you want, I'm garbage though >.>

How is the lag on your end ?

 

[SephLuis]

CFN ID is FluxWaveZ, so invite me when you want. Dunno if I'm gonna be playing for much longer, though.

I am going to enter now and play a few games. I will create the room and send you an invite then

 

[LegendX48]

it's playable

geez, I only have 250k and I beat story and survival(on easy ) with the whole cast. You get all that from online matches?

Okay, this work around is at least slightly less idiotic than what I initially expected. It still should more streamlined.

Well, too bad, we had one bar in the end, it was basically a miracle...

I knew west coast would be rough ^^

Thanks for the matches though !

So we'll likely get it April 10th, cool.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Screw every Mika except for Flux -_-

I swear they are dice rollers! Dice Rollers I say!

lol...I’m really just not a fan of her V-trigger. Someone said you gotta look at Mika to see if her hands go immediately down or stay up, then you can read the timing.

But I’m like “ok, while I’m waiting to see where her partner is coming from Mika is coming towards me about to grab my f’n ankles!!!!”

-_-

yeah, that’s what I did as well except I did Hell with Ken, about 500K now. Think I might try hard with Laura and Nash and call it quits. Can’t fathom anyone besides them. Nash at least has a fireball, I imagine Laura gets tough to win with.

Except Mika can't move until she's done telegraphing when Nadeshiko will show up.

But Mika is essentially dice roll the chacter

I need to get around to trying hell again with ken, I lost on round 53 last time. It's just so demoralizing to spend 30 minutes, fail, and then get nothing lol.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

im at 1500 and just got matched with soeone 3500

there is no mathematical way that there is no one around me looking for a match. refuse to believe it capcom.

I honestly think everyone is playing the Division or some other "popular" shooter. I was looking for online matches and not only was the wait excruciatingly long most of the times with fight request on, but I think I fought the same 3 people over and over again in Ranked matches and maybe 4 people in Casual matches on a Friday night. Maybe it was just a slow night.

 

[ElFly]

Matchmaking being ridiculously slow is killing the game for me right now.

Sadly the patch info mentioned nothing about it, but I guess that could be all solved server side.

But I somehow doubt it will.

I just got a ragemail that simply said "cancer." SMFH

Once I think I get a chance, Flux, you escape and give me a beating -_-

So there's something particular about my fight style across all fighting games, and it's that I'm reckless until I see there's actually a chance I'll die, at which point my defense improves noticeably. It's a weird thing, and I've tried to tap into my "last stand" type of style for how I always play, and not just when I'm working with a pixel of health.

GGs. It took me a bit to get accustomed to the rollback (the distance was naturally gonna do that), but I adapted eventually.

Birdie

Heh, I thought it'd be Ken or something with a comment like that. I haven't gotten a rage comment yet, but I'd be proud of it, in a way.

GGs. There was a bit of rollback, but it was playable.

I got nervous towards the last matches and dropped combos -_-
At least your Mika play gave me some good ideas on how to approach people.

Haven't been able to play the last couple of days, but on Thursday night I was having the same problem. Trouble finding anyone to play. Within the first hour I only had two matches and both were the same person.

Anyone know how active SFV is online in terms of any numbers. I don't want this game to already be a wasteland online, it's to good a fighter.

Gotta have fight request running in the background. Then only hit accept the challenge when the AI battle goes poorly.

A match never seems to show up when I need it lol. I've never won survival mode by having the match making save me.
