Adding akuma needs a patch, akuma comes on the 20th, so yeah there will be a patch tomorrow.

True, but that only covers balance changes.
While I am not complaining about getting those broad strokes, I wish they would also communicate about technical improvements to the game, since that matters more day-to-day for somebody like me (a low silver on a good day, at best). The best we have gotten is a recent interview where Ono (?) acknowledged that the server infrastructure is lacking and that they are working on it. And while they have clearly been working on D-Input support, for example, the first we heard of it was when they accidentally released that test build.
Compare that with the initial release of SFV, where they actually provided an overall road-map for what they would be adding to the game in year 2016. While I do not think that it is reasonable to expect a road-map for the entirety of 2017, it would be nice if they would touch on what that issues they are working on for the next update and / or in the long term.
And while I would like detailed patch-notes in advance, on release or even shortly thereafter is perfectly fine, IMO.

there's more people complaining about the lack of patch notes for SFV than there are playing KI

I tried KI when it came to Windows 10, but I really didn't like the combo system in that game.
Everything else was top notch, however.
I think Maximilian made me grossly overestimate how many people actually play KI.
I think evo finals peaked at like 25k...

They made a video on the patch notes for KI because they needed to hype up the community when in fact all they did is nerf things.
They should just delete Arbiter from the game at this point.

Yes. One of the main goals for the beta was to test their content delivery system. So much for that.

That happened literally once a LONG time ago.
With the past few maintenances, online has been functional before maintenance was scheduled to end. It's not too surprising that you didn't hear about that, though. Good news about SF5 spreads like...the opposite of wild fire around these parts.
Tame fire.
IG is an American company with an American audience. They can do whatever the heck they want quickly.
SF is made overseas. The language/communication barrier makes things like this inherently harder.
It's not surprising that IG and NRS can communicate more frequently with their primary audiences, while SNK, Arc, and Capcom take longer. I mean, does ArcSys even RELEASE English patch notes? Usually I see people from the community translating Japanese ones themselves.
Does Capcom tell us that maintenance ends early or is it like everything else where the community finds it and spreads the word?

decided to watch the patch notes video (its not that bad tbh, capcom could take notes or just.. do exactly what they did for USF4 and SFxT ver2013.. which is what I kinda still expect to happen)
but this was mad Cacpcpom esque

That's a terrible excuse. Street Fighter's target audience is worldwide, they need to organise that way.

Nah they do. Usually on their SFV server Twitter where they state they are up and running early.

The fact that it doesn't work?
Yeah, this excuses something that should have been planned to be distributed to a worldwide audience and handwaves it away as if Capcom hasn't been doing this forever.
Ah, that's good, then! I don't follow their twitter.

They do. SF5 released worldwide at pretty much the same time, for both PC and PS4. All regions get updates at the same time, too.
My point is that comparing KI to SF is silly, because SF's audience is way more international, and that requires more time/effort to accommodate.
More like, they overestimate the maintenance time, because people went ballistic the ONE time they went over, half a year ago.
Its console exclusive on the least popular of the 2 big consoles, not available on the most popular storefront on PC, on a storefront that people go out their way to ignore because of issues with Microsoft's previous storefront, and it's limited to only people who have W10. All those things just don't add up to a lot of people playing. Shame though, I actually enjoy the hell out of the game on a causal level and it's an excuse for me to pull out my 360 stick and go nuts every once in awhile.

Capcom has us eating out of their hands with the slow drip of info and content. They created the monster.
I can't imagine what it would be like to have to wait a whole year for new characters again, like the old days.
I can play; always up for some games.
Deciding if I want to play with Alex tomorrow night or start with my Akuma training. Probably Akuma.
Gotta practice how to do the raging demon command quickly. Hopefully a bunch of you guys are online after 10pm west coast time tomorrow so I can get my ass beat and hopefully figure some stuff out.

Do you in fact make all your design choices by throwing a dart at a printout of the eventhubs comments section? Follow up, how many hours of the work week would you say you're sober for?

Learn how to kara demon.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your questions.
What are design choices? What is sober?
That just means canceling the demon out of a normal right?
Ill be on for sure. We need a west coast lobby
Just curious how does everyone feel about the drip feed of characters for season 2? I mean compared to getting a SSFV version at retail that immediately has all characters dropped at once. As far as cost goes, I have bought both S1 and S2 season passes. Do you think it maintains interest in the game? Honestly I'm on the fence the wait for characters in season 1 was tough because we knew who they were. Maybe not knowing is better.
I don't really mind it, since if they can keep things a secret the reveals are more hype. Then again, I was always going to buy all the characters so it doesn't really affect me. I can see how it'd be annoying for people who weren't sure about getting them all.
Yeah, I'll try to make one tomorrow if nobody else has by 10pm.
