Save it for the E3 Deals + the "Spend 100$ and get 15$ back" deal during that time. At least, that's my suggestion.

 

[Masaki_]

Is it badly animated? I thought that's only cammy air throw.

Cammy's air throw is the worst offender but none of the new grabs meet the animation quality standard expected from Capcom. Gief's new normal throw makes me wish people never get caught crouching. That's how bad it looks. I don't even wanna see it in a game ever.

 

[joe2187]

I have $50 in my PSN wallet right now, either:

CPT 2017 Bundle + Ultra SFIV which is on sale (because I'm a Capcom whore with Stockholm syndrome)

Or

Overwatch GOTY (which is also on sale)

Do you even get the 2016 stage and costumes along with it?

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Do you even get the 2016 stage and costumes along with it?

No. Those are still not for sale.

Which is a shame, because I forgot to pick up one of them last year.

 

[lupinko]

Save it for the E3 Deals + the "Spend 100$ and get 15$ back" deal during that time. At least, that's my suggestion.

Spend $100 and get $15 back starts June 9-20.

I wanted to but Overwatch's sale was extended from today till June 7 (two days before the rebate starts) and Ultra is finally on sale.

I'll just let the new SFV update and Tekken 7 keep me away.

Edit:

Do you even get the 2016 stage and costumes along with it?

No, the CPT 2017 bundle has new content exclusively for 2017. I bought the CPT 2016 so I'm good.

CPT 2017
- CPT Ryu
- CPT Ken
- Capcom Cup Guile (thanks PSN!)
- 2 new titles
- EX3 colours for everybody
- new 2017 esports stage
- exclusive missions for easy FM

Somebody forgot to lock the hamster cage:

We are sorry for the inconvenience. SFV server maintenance is still ongoing.

I do really like the CPT 2016 stage. Hope the 2017 stage lives up to it.
Dunno if I'd call the CPT missions easy fight money, though. Most of the fight money comes from the "win X ranked matches" quests. As a forever bronze rank, I can maybe see me barely make the 40 wins in a month if I'm lucky. The 60, 80 and 100 wins are probably way more than I can ever do in a month, though

Ughhh.........

 

[katsubento]

Still down... What the heck Capcom.

 

[DoubleTake]

We're live boys and girls.

 

[SolarPowered]

Alex and Guile got hit super hard on that list. I'm laughing at Vega and Balrog. They only continue to get stronger. Can't wait to see what people can do with Vega in S2.5 after his substantial and frankly surprising buffs.

Guess I'll just die against Gief then.

Gief has wrecked Alex from the start. Better brawler, grappler and eve defensive character. The latter's existence in this game feels pretty redundant. Really sucks having to say it, but that is the reality.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

New stages purchased thanks to the 50k bonus!
I am not taking any chances this time.

 

[TheTylerRob]

So is this update supposed to contain the new CFN matchmaking stuff?

 

[Ucchedavāda]

So is this update supposed to contain the new CFN matchmaking stuff?

Yes. It is supposed to have rage-quitting measures, quicker match-making, fewer repeat matches against the same person, and blacklists.

 

[BlizzKrut]

Ed Story Mode Spoilers.

Spoiler

2 Fights - One against phantom Bison on that Shadaloo hallway stage and another against Balrog on the Forgotten Watterfal.

The egyptian looking girl is deemed "The Fortune Teller" and she speaks about her master, this is Rose's apprentice all right.

Ed leaves Balrog and starts making his "own path", no context on the bunch that are around him, I guess that's just his new friends/team.

Overall quite big in terms of story for one of these, I liked it.

Cool. Take your time, caps.

Gonna miss the repeat matches for folks that run from the set.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Are servers up or not yet??

 

[myco666]

Ed has only 10 trials? Lame.

Are servers up or not yet??

They are.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Servers are up now.

 

[MrCarter]

Servers are up now.

Not seeing any sever errors. So far so good.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Same here. I don't have time to play right now, but initial impressions were positive.


They also seem to have re-processed missing matches.
I logged out with exactly 3000 LP before the maintenance and logged in to 3060 LP or so.

 

[Farewell]

Servers are up for me.

First thing i see is that they fixed the shadow dithering on ps4, no more dots.

We need to play later on. I'll send you an invite if I see you online.

Are you on Steam?
If not, then you can also just message me when you see me here.

 

[lucebuce12]

Who's that blonde lady with the staff in Ed's story mode?

I might reinstall for her.

 

[Numb]

Lobby only Rookie with matchup xp of 5 characters gonna try ranked first time and see how far i can get with my day 1 Ed. Pray for me

[Ucchedavāda]

She is only shown in that one scene, and only Ed has dialogue which doesn't mention her.
My guess is that she is part of "Neo Shadaloo" which Ed was described as leading, IIRC.

 

[lucebuce12]

Not gonna lie, the idea of a new Shadaloo with all new Kings (and a Queen!) sounds pretty dope.

Traitor!

I'm a sucker for non-american blonde women.

Aww, I hope she makes it in. I LOVE her design.

Man, I just love trials so much. So happy that we got bunch of new ones.

She might be American, though.
Based on Ed's story, I would hazard a guess that she might be

another Bison body, since that would fit with what the fortune teller tells Ed about him and another (unknown) person

Same here, and an extra 5k FM per char doesn't hurt. A shame Ed only has 10 though.

But we still need Abel and Eagle! D:

You'll definitely get your first wish though.

 

[lucebuce12]

Make that staff wielder a red-head instead, and suddenly I'll have found someone to replace F.A.N.G

Street Fighter needs more red-heads

Fighting games need more redheads.

Hmm, yeah you're right I'd have to make an exception for Eagle at least.

Is pink close enough? Because... >_>

Also, unrelated, I'd like Poison back too please.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Ok so far I'm in love with the new cfn faster leading and much faster match making is 6am here and I'm getting matched up within 30s~1min and no errors so far.
Plus they gave me 400 lp back when i logged in.

 

[MrCarter]

Aww, I hope she makes it in. I LOVE her design.

I like the Egyptian queen (with the orbs) better. Or maybe that's just because I'm a fan of Egyptology.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I've been "seeking players stronger then me" in lobbies lately for this reason. So far the only person who I felt like I was wasting his time was Flux but the experience to play someone who really knows what they're doing, learn and see where I stand against a pro player pretty much, is very valuable.

yeah Flux is a great player to set against and he plays multiple characters so even better. Some people have fell off a bit (like me lol) losing some interest in the game but Vulva is very good, a Karin player on here, Nash player, Guilebootcamp, etc...I would put everyone in the OP on your friends list.

I should be back on regularly, not playing a whole lot, but my Ken should be back up to snuff in a month or so, and I'm alt Ryu now.

CFN - Omnicloud or ElisJah

The character select needs an overhaul. the portraits are getting smaller

Ha, I was sure they would just complete the V-shape. But no, this is Capcom. Let's not do the obvious thing and do smething that looks like shit.

You can get a lot of free FM for watching the second batch of demonstrations.

You'd get a lot more out of Overwatch imo.

 

[Kashiwaba]

I just noticed something when your set music as Random for ranking matches after every rematch the music change between your player, opponent player or stage music, that's neat.

Edit:
Since we have a new blacklist feature how about we post a list of some notorious players on front page so everyone blacklist them you know infamous ragequitters, FM Farmer...etc
