I'd only want to blacklist people with garbage connections, and those are a rare occurrence. It is even more rare to run into them multiple times, which would motivate me to actually do it, and it even look like Capcom are addressing that somewhat in the update.

Last week we got new patch notes, this week we hear about CFN stuff, next week there's the 30th anniversary panel...jokes aside, it's nice to hear from Capcom like this.

Yeah, they are on a roll recently.
Credit where credit is due!

 

[MrCarter]

I like this:

The improved CFN experience is the result of rebuilding it from the ground up to address the most pressing issues that will ultimately result in a better online experience.

Looks like they worked on rebuilding this from the ground up while managing the current CFN. Let's hope it pays off.

30th anniversary panel is during the PTR period too. I wonder if they'll announce something during the panel that will trigger an in-game surprise.

Wishful thinking...

If this keeps going we'd have a year worth of content for Vasperarcade by the end of next month.

I think I subbed to VesperArcade solely because he was able to expertly analyze the brief footage of SFV we had to deduce how the game played when we knew almost nothing about the game. Who knew he'd deliver the same level of detail to analyzation when we know everything immediately.

 

[mbpm1]

I subbed to vesper to hear him talk about kolin from the trailer

 

[MrCarter]

I went to his channel to see if he's improved...

"MvC Infinite - New News and Gamplay Soon?"

There was no news (it was a tweet from Ono) and obviously there will be gameplay when they have something to show. *Faceplams*

How long is the video btw? I'm always impressed by how long youtubers can stretch non-info.

Winning is fun.

Correct.

Yeah, im not a fan of that click baity stuff people do for views. But I absolutely will keep my sub to his channel for his guides and character breakdowns though.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm also still on call for MvC discussions with Vesper once we get actual news, so there's that.

Bison only, Training Room

Over 5 mins.

 

[Moaradin]

Never expected Capcom to do a public test for PC. That's pretty awesome.

 

[Village]

Yo i'm all for supporting modders financially , but dude with the new cammy samus mod has folks going through virus ridden 3rd parties to get to DL sites with hour download times if you don't pay him.

That killed all interest in that mod, or me even paying the guy for them.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I thought it was just a patreon?

 

[Gr1mLock]

Can't wait to rise up in tiers because no one knows the matchup anymore. Nemo and Eita got Bison in top 3

 

[Huw_Dawson]

I think the blacklist will probably just mean you cannot get invites from a certain account. Maybe it blocks them from your lobbies too?

That is an exceptional set of fixes. Good stuff Capcom.

I still want to see a lag reduction to 4f but buffing lobbies to actually be useful is a thumbs up from me.

Fingers crossed the current defects with the netcode are fixed. No bad matches against those who are in the same city, please.

oh shit

The update might include a blacklisting function? I hope to god it is for characters. We should have had the option in season 1 imo. Ryu and Ken were unbearably strong in season one on top of being the two most used characters. Having the tip top characters be the most used characters is the perfect recipe for a shitstorm of epic proportions.

 

[Marvel]

I am liking Kolin.

Someone posted a good response as to why that's a horrible idea:

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.

So fuck that. I don't know of any fighting game that lets you filter out characters, now that I think about it. That's an awful idea. At that point, I'd rather just go grind out the matches I want in Battle Lounge.

I am liking Kolin.

Kolin is too technical. I just want to unga without the guilt of the bunga. So I'm playing Necalli at the moment.

 

[MCD250]

Yeah, not sure filtering out characters is a good idea. Even filtering out players (at least in Ranked) can potentially lead to problems. Maybe if they relegate it to Casual or something.

 

[Duress]

Just block mirror matches. No one should have to deal with that shit.

 

[Nemesis121]

It should now take less time to find an opponent in online matches. We’ve also added logic which avoids frequently being matched with the same opponent repeatedly.

Today my friend and he got matched with the same player 4 times in a row...took a break, 30mins go by, first match back same player..

 

[spazchicken]

I never give mirrors the run back, win or lose.

Never liked them and I don't know why.

I totally get you lol.

She's clicking really well right now though, which is remarkable considering I have not played a fighter for 2 months. Actually managed to defeat a couple Gold Ibuki's. Loving her style and counters, looking forward to really learning her over the next few weeks.

Maybe a long ass break did some good, despite the rust.

 

[Zombegoast]

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.

It doesn't need to be the best in order to be decent. It fails at the very base of what Rollback Netcode is suppose to do. Rollback based netcode isn't suppose to desync and cause one player to experience the lag and it's not suppose to desync when using turbo or mashing buttons.

 

[HardRojo]

Today my friend and he got matched with the same player 4 times in a row...took a break, 30mins go by, first match back same player..

He better embrace it, he won't be able to play at all now lol.

 

[Edzi]

He better embrace it, he won't be able to play at all now lol.

If lobbies end up working, that might be a good alternative for a lot of people.

I've been dabbling with Mika in training and battle lounges over the past week and she's a lot of fun. Can anyone give me any advice for playing her cause I feel random as fuck.

Dammit Colin AA jab reminded me of the nightmares of Ryu AA jabs in S1.

 

[Nemesis121]

I got a new toy today, upgrading from a GTX 670 to a GTX 1060, this game looks great, now i can blast it on max, before i had to custom set up to make it look nice and stay at 60fps... also feel like my inputs are being registered faster...gonna test that online later, but right now i am messing around with all my games, time to install Project Cars..

You're playing as intended.

I agree. I guess if these players want to shield themselves like that, go for it. Seems counter productive though. I would never blacklist a match-up. Gotta learn them.

For filtering out players, I kinda wanna do it, just so I can block people I know I have a shitty connection with, or the farmer accounts that are just mashing LK.

 

[lucebuce12]

The moment I stop caring about this game is if I change my avatar to something Non-SF related.

Well, it happened.

 

[sixteen-bit]

someone made a mod of this

 

[Femto.]

That looks terrible.

I appreciate the attempt though.

 

[MCD250]

I guess the idea is that Kolin can wear pants OR a shirt but never both.

 

[Femto.]

I'm going to miss lucebruce

February 2016 - March 2017

 

[Bob White]

Well, it happened.

What was the tipping point?

I always feel like screaming and cackling like a barbarian when I play Kolin. I get so hyped playing her.

Wow, I just encountered two different Ryu players in a row, both wearing that dumb hip hop costume using the same alternate color. The world is ending.

Is ryu bboy costume that hated?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Is ryu bboy costume that hated?

More like the combination of circumstances, but even when I face Ryus, they almost never have that costume.

If I was a Ryu main, though, I'd be rocking that costume 100% of the time.
