You are doing god's work.

I can't wait to blacklist lag switching assholes.
I don't think we'll get it, but I would like to see a major update to stats. As it stands now, we have to wait for someone to give us stats. I want to see actual hard data from online play on matchups, character success rates across various divisions, stuff like that. I enjoy digging into that stuff and I think most big competitive games with esports aspirations have websites with some pretty comprehensive stats.

Wait, I wonder if the loading times will be fixed in the offline portion as well.
Okay, also, are we getting rid of the thumbs up or what Capcom

Daigo in January: Losing isn't fun, I'm gonna play Guile
Daigo in February: Winning isn't fun, I'm gonna play Ryu
Daigo in March: Losing isn't fun, I'm gonna play Guile
Daigo in April: Ryu is good again, I'm gonna play Ryu

If they willingly rematch you, then the connection is probably fine enough for them to keep playing you. (unless you're playing Ranked...in which people take points and run frequently. I only play Casual and Lounges)
And, people generally rematch me most times. So, yeah, I'm guessing "one-sided lag" isn't super common for my opponents.
Capcom actuallly uploads this data on their own website:
https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/stats
The CFN portal is actually an amazing website. Lots of info on there.
They should link to it in game, or something.

Also, why does Daigo ALWAYS hit a button when he jumps back out of Aegis Reflector setups? It makes no sense to me. He just smacks the reflector every time. It has to be intentional, he's been doing it for months now. He could just jump out and not get hit, I don't get it.

Aww, I was kinda hoping it'd come in this patch. Still, this all sounds great.

So are people ignoring the awful netcode or are people still clueless how it work in SFV?

Well, if you're talking about Ranked, then it's a totally different story. People will deny rematches to save their points.
But, in Casual and Lounges, if people stick around, the match is probably good enough for them to keep playing you.
People are ignoring the awful netcode because it's not actually awful.
The netcode is "awful" like S2 Mika is "awful".

We've been through this multiple times in every OT with test dine. The netcode is half baked from it's Sfxt counterpart.

Why can't we do this either? Only players with x Character listed as their main character in their battle profile can join the lobby.
It's better than that which wasn't actually that bad.
I swear, people here play two or three fighting games and think SFV has garbage netcode. It isn't the best but it works 95% of the time. You can't say that about the new fighting games that are still released with delay based netcode.
I think blacklist will be fine if you have to travel through a few menus to get to the option. If it's selectable after each match like "REMATCH - QUIT - BLACKLIST" we're all fucked.

Hey ZG, you seem to know a lot about how the netcode works. Can you explain how it's worse than SFxT? Like, what in the infrastructure makes it bad.
If you play any of these characters I will blacklist you and don't ever shake my hand at a tournament:

That's two information drops in one month, and that means they probably won't cover this same shit next weekend.

I think the "blacklist" is to prevent certain people from following you or something of that realm. Not to avoid fighting them or a certain character.

The big question is, will Player 2 still have to do the thumbs up?
Street Fighter V players can now immediately rematch their opponent by giving the "thumbs up" gesture if the PlayStation 4 camera is active during play.

Daigo dropped Ryu for eLeauge. Officially.
Looking for that TBS money.

My guess is that it'll just prevent invites, so that you can shut somebody up if they spam you invites. Possibly it'll also prevent those people from joining your lobbies, but I think that is less likely. Even less likely, in my eyes, is preventing all match-making, and I am not even sure that ranked should allow you to block other players. But we'll see.

Hopefully he's having fun with Guile, because that would directly contradict his previous remarks if he ain't.
Winning is fun.

The moment I stop caring about this game is if I change my avatar to something Non-SF related.
If this keeps going we'd have a year worth of content for Vasperarcade by the end of next month.

Winning money is fun, you mean.
But really, the way Daigo explained it, he didn't want to lose the feeling of having fun while playing fighting games. Like, he'd practice doing different, weird things during matches because he didn't care about winning or losing. Winning is a byproduct of applied knowledge and skill.
Not saying winning in and of itself can't be fun, but that wasn't the reason he kept playing fighting games solely.
"Hey guys, VesperArcade here. Let's talk about the first paragraph of the patch notes. Join me again later in week where I make another video on the second paragraph of Capcom's CFN patch notes."
Well, imagine you're maining a character, and a good chunk of players hate that match-up. Good luck finding a match, or just learn a new main.
We can also count all those who won't learn any match-up and just block all those they think are unfavorable.
In short, it would cause a drop in the level of the player base, less character variety and much longer matchmaking.
