So I'm betting the lobbies will just be like SF4 lobbies, aka king of the hill style... Lame...

Street Fighter V patch releasing March 28th, Alex on the 30th, more info
- Thread starter Dartastic
- Start date
What's the alternative? KOTH has been the standard for fighting game lobbies since forever.
Looks like training and combo challenges are in now, and more will be added

make your own, I get people right after another, some outstay there welcome and I have to hit them with generic preset text like
"I'm calling it a night"
"Good game good game"
"I'm sleepy"
Lol

Stuff like Arc sys does. Virtual arcades essentially.
I don't like it but it'd be nice to have. More options is always better.

Skullgirls/Ultimax where people can match up with whoever else is available inside of a private lobby.
No, it is his story mode costume.

No, alpha ryu
More than two people fighting at the same time? 6 people waiting while just 2 of them fight is super slow.
Well it's not like the matchmaking isn't slow already.
Let's hope it is better than in SF4, where sometimes the expectating players would be cut off from the final seconds of the fight.

You must have hated the "Secret Factor" shop in the console release of MvC2 a whole lot. Giving the option to but the costumes for really cheap compared to only having the option to pay money is great IMO.
I think you may be overreacting to the amount of time it takes to actually get FM.
On-topic: This is actually more stuff than I thought that Capcom would give us in this patch. Them releasing Alex for a free trial and any future characters until they get the Zenny Shop figured out is pretty nice of them and I don't think Capcom of old would do something like this and would just delay the character instead. Good on them for giving extra value to season pass holders as well. While everything isn't perfect good to see them heading in the right direction.

I've said it since FM was just a concept, but this would honestly be the greatest thing to ever happen to a fighting game.

Will people buy the game now that were complaining about no tutorials? Probably not.
With Capcom taking a small cut? They'd make bank.
An even more genius idea? Tie it into CPT events where you could live stream it from the game. I remember when Mugen betting was all the rage.
We are getting Alpha Ryu and Police Chun for free
I get what he's saying. Still don't think grinding for FM to get alt costumes is a big deal. But if that's the hill he wants to die on, then fine.

Hmm not sure why every time I go into an SFV news site its like im playing a completely different game from everyone else. I have great connection, get games quickly, I think I play against 2 rage quitters maybe every 10 hours or so, MAYBE. I only play Ranked, I fluctuate between Ultra Silver and Silver league. I encountered almost no rage quitters in Bronze, Super Bronze, and Ultra Bronze unless everyone here is Ultra Silver and up I didn't know GAF had so many amazing SF players.

". Additionally, we will be giving all Season Pass users a free, brand new stage in the near future!"
Woah woah woah. If we don't buy the season pass we miss out on a level? Fuck that. Fuck that it's out of nowhere. I've been grinding and planning to continue to grind to get all the content (cept for the premium outfits) and now they spring this on us?

Those people probably wouldn't have bought it anyway, even with more tutorials and arcade mode. People just like to complain.
Yeah how would this even work? You'll just never get the stage unless both people own it, when playing online? Or maybe the stage is offline only?

What makes you think you won't be able to buy it in some way?
Ain't happening. It will be easy for people to start boosting FM if this ever makes it into the game

Their loss. Street Fighter V has been incredible fun for my boyfriend and myself, and it just continues to get better.
Shame for those who only have fun playing with themselves though, it's always more fun when you're not alone.
All people have the stage data downloaded with the patch while Season Pass owners get the actual unlock key for them to select.
You need to calm down man. Like do you actually own this game for this to matter to you?
People will probably buy once they add in Cinematic Story in June because Capcom will probably run a sale to promote it.
This is why I never created more than 3-4 players lobby, as Capcom can't do things that make too much sense.
The overview trailer being canned PR talk is just...ugh.
Battle Lounge for 8 players - okay
Spectator - okay, don't understand why more than 1 match can't go on at once
Ranked 2/3 - Should've been forced at Higher Ranks
Tutorials/Challenges - I'll withhold judgement until I see it
Shop - No premium content out yet is laughable
Exclusive Stage for Season Pass owners is a joke
Alex being free for a limited time is okay (Free 10K in Story Mode, I guess, lol)
2 Free Costumes are alright, BUT you STILL have to go through Survival to unlock all of their Colors on top of the regular outfit colors. Just...WHY?
Bug Fixes - I'll wait for a full list of everything they did before judging
Overall, a disappointing update. No Daily Challenges, no Offline versus CPU. The lack of the pre-order DLC costumes being sold is bullshit and a clear indicator that they've fallen behind and aren't getting more budgetary help/incentives.
As for sales, SF5 on Steam has sold LESS THAN 140,000 copies WW. So if you want to start calculating sales, start from that. But it's probably not higher than 500k right now because the game has simply stopped selling.

Multiple matches going concurrently per room, a la Gundam Extreme Vs, Skullgirls, and ArcSys games.

Hmm there are a few things still need sorting
Daily Challenges - this was promised ages ago
Arcade Mode - this is so easy to do why Capcom don't do it is shocking
VS CPU - same as above
RQ Penalty - come on they did this for SFIV
Those color unlocks better be cheap because going through Survival Mode is a chore and the fact you have to do it with each costume is unacceptable.

No? You can buy it?
Yeah, more than 4 people is just too much.
I assume we can buy everything, but maybe FM won't be able to buy some premium stuff.
But the betting would only be between other spectators, there'd be no way to boost.

If that's the case, then the premium outfits come to $24 total and the season pass is $30 plus you get a level then the season pass just got more tempting. I can save my FM for story outfits.
I think the tested this in one of the betas. Everyone gets the stage data, you pay for the unlock similar to how the DLC costumes work.

Pretty much in the same boat! Granted, I know there are a lot on GAF that are international players, so their MM pool might not be so great or robust, but about 10% or less of my matches have been 'bad' connection wise (probably closer to 5%), and the times i've played on my PC or on the PS4 & PC at my friend's place were exactly the same. I feel for those who are getting matched in bad internet areas though.

Yes, you've explained exactly what this is
I don't get it
Doubt it. Most people complaining probably had little to no interest in the first place.
Last time I checked, the 28th/30th of March is in fact in March.
I assume they won't make it permanent since you can "theoretically" just blow through all the Story and Survival stuff for them, earning the FM and Colors for them without paying for anything.

Hmm Chun is pretty sexy in her cop uniform ;-)
They could limit it to a number of matches instead of a time. Something like 10-15 matches then it locks, even if youre in a survival.

Wow a whole two free story mode costumes that should have been unlocked when you finished their story modes in the first place.
Them not being sure when the real money stuff is happening is hilarious.
And to top it all off they wait to the very last week of march. Mad jokes.
