Don't expect anything like Super Street Fighter V, Capcom already said that they won't go down that route. If anything, we may get a compilation of this year's DLC.

Maybe they need to make it where there are certain rank milestones that you can't get knocked down from then. Fucking ridiculous to continually get matched up against rookie rank players who just wreck shit.
...which they could call Super Street Fighter V. ;-)
The game is 100% beyond its' ability to sell to casuals at this point. Capcom gave that up when they released in February in the state it was (and still kinda is) for the sake of the Pro Tour and their Fiscal Year totals.
Fair assessment and has convinced me.

Have you tried casual? The competition is generally lower with folks often using sub characters. There are also rookie battle lounges with lower level comp.
I know that feel. I dropped to silver last week lol.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I can write a more "comprehensive" matchup description if that's the case.

So this is what it's like when world collide.
I think casuals is actually way worse then ranked because a lot of people only play casual and are actually way better then what their rank says. When I switched to ranked the competition got a lot more even. Instead of every other person being way better then their rank says, now it's like 1 in 4 or 5
No, not being sarcastic. I LOVE detailed descriptions, don't get me wrong, but what I should've said is I'm trying to leave my bias behind and think about it more and yeah, I think you're right, it probably is even (although I might say SLIGHTLY in Nash favor as he can shimmy).

I feel like that Bison matchup is AT BEST 4-6 in favour of Nash.
Right up until the Bison player uses the V-Skill for more than the fireball then it becomes a 3-7.
That Bison V-skill is godlike against hit-and-run Nash but it's difficult to pull off.
That would cause confusion amongst casuals, since their gut reaction would be "Capcom went back on their word!". Probably not the best idea.
just curious, how would you define a casual?
Those who don't follow fighting game news like we do & are about average in skill-level or lower.

If it's a Ryu player, it's Daigo.
How many casuals do you think understand that not having a Super game was something they talked about in a slideshow at some conference?
Lol it was a Ryu. I got rocked. No lag though so I highly doubt they were actually from japan.
They made that clear during the early press junket, & doing a Super version would only result in more bad PR for Capcom when just a Season 1 Collection could do a similar job without pissing as many people off. It just comes off as unnecessary.
The lower the price goes down (or Free to Play) the more "casuals" will pick this up. I'm hoping by next year they manage to implement a two-tier strategy whereby they can release the full version with all characters included and a separate "Free to Play" version with only 2/3 characters.

Pick Birdie and never worry about people jumping at you again!

Adopting a KI model would be the best bet going forward after this year. If they could keep KIs current DLC release timeline that would also be nice. Having Ryu and another rotating character every month would work out pretty well for them I believe. If they do end up going this route it would also be a good idea to give early adopters something as a thank you such as a decent chunk of FM or some exclusive costumes, colors, etc.
KI season 3 released 8 characters in around 3.5 months time while still having single players modes to add. If SFV can do this all while balancing the game, fixing existing issues, and releasing costumes every few months they'll be in a good spot I think.

cr.mp all day?

Just hold your stick down, and press mp whenever they're above you. HP if they're slightly ahead of you.
Repeat until you've won EVO.
Birdies Cr. Mp is the best anti air normal in the game.

yea, a free to play version with 2-3 rotating characters would work to get more casuals in.
Stupidly so. I only hate anti-air jabs more.
Thanks for this knowledge. I didn't know! I've honestly probably fought maybe four birdies in ranked ever. (stuck between ultra bronze and bronze)

Birdie's got the best AA normal in the game, Karin's got the best footsie poke, Ken has the best DP (debatable but I think so), Zangief has the best command grab, Guile has the best fireball and F.A.N.G has the best V-Reversal.
that animation is goat
I think the only anti air jab I really resent is Dhalsim's, but who knows, he might need it.
I really wished they implemented a quick message system between PS4 and PC users.
Maybe so, but fortunately I did not have to play those as I mained Sim

Would make the salty messages easier, I suppose.

not a good idea. shit would go out of hand quick and you can't even report the other platform.
You guys are right. For the one GGs I wanted to send the other guy there would be a thousand hate messages. Maybe some kind of preformatted quick snippets?
It's not that bad. Sure, you have to use meter for her DP, but she still has her s.HP & her c.MP as far as anti-airs go.
Wow! Wow! Nice hit! Great sweep! What a CA!
Maybe so, but fortunately I did not have to play those as I mained Sim
From Sim to Guile, huh ? What happened ?

Hehe ,reminds me of when someone gets muted in Dota 2. They can't use their mic and can only use the pre-made chat wheel commands "Nice One!" and "Good Game Well Played".
So it was fun seeing people spam GGWP whenever somebody died.
Someone found "driver test" in the Steam update log for Street Fighter V, so there may be a chance that native dinput stick support is coming with the Juri update.

That would be grand. It's not that big a deal to download the driver but not having to when you're playing on other machines would be pretty great. Not getting my hopes up thought because Capcom.
