WOW this patch underdelivered.

You still can't properly see the bars when searching for a battle lounge.

On top of that, you can't even search by number of people in the lounge. So when I want to play only 1v1, now I have to bring up all the lobbies and find the two or three that fit. That's nuts!

And NO directinput support on pc!! What?! I still have to use some latency-inducing middle software.

I see bars when I search for a battle lounge.

And just use x360ce. Shouldn't have any lag on that.

Might've been covered, but wasn't the whole idea that players could grind enough fight money to buy content? That DLC would be "buy now if you want to, or grind for it"?
You can buy all gameplay relevant content with Fight Money, which you can earn. So all characters obviously. I don't think there's a definitive answer for costumes out there.

Really, do they all show latency?
When I search I get a list of maybe 20 lounges and if I'm lucky two of them will show bars. And even those don't seem to be accurate.

could never
Just wish Alex's suspenders were either gone or hanging loose. If you won't give us long hair in an alt capcom pls do that lol

I was kind of hoping they'd explode off when he went into v-trigger

Similarly if Guile's V-Trigger doesn't involve him putting on his shades I'm gonna be really disappointed.

I see loading circles instead of bars and unfortunately x360ce was always wonky on my pc.

The loading circles are where the bars should go up. Before this update I'd see maybe 2 lounges with bars, but I was seeing a bunch today. and the loading circles would actually show me the bars after a few seconds instead of staying empty like it used to.

As for x360ce: You have to put it in Steam\steamapps\common\StreetFighterV\StreetFighterV\Binaries\Win64. Not sure if that's your specific issue, but a lot of people tend to put it in the directory and that's why it doesn't work for SF5.

Still getting regularly paired up with players that have 1-3k more LP than me. Can't tell if broken matchmaking or most people already quit

Yes there is. You can only buy the story mode costumes with Fight Money. Other costumes must be purchased with Zenny (=real cash).

I think it broke with the update as it has been happening to me as well. I have been able to beat them though so Ive been ranking up like crazy especially with the rematch option.

Where are all the japanese players who complained about Cammy looking ugly? Can they make a similar campaign for Ken, pretty please? Because if there is someone whose face needs a desperate amount of work, Ken is probably the biggest candidate.

For the record, I still think Cammy looked just fine in her previous iteration, while Chun-Li got changed for the better.

Flaming shoryukens, fancy kicks and being the pretty boy used to be trademarks of Ken since the Alpha days (probably even earlier). For the first time in the series history, Ryu can claim victory to this battle.

For a game with hair design/physics this terrible they sure put a lot of emphasis on character hair in these costumes.
 
I was expecting something more "difficult" i guess

It's pretty standard stuff, wich would've maybe worked for players on D1, not a month later
Well what did you realistically expect? This game is not very combo heavy and it's not like people are gonna start discovering new combos as time passes.

EDIT: It's mainly to help newer players with their execution. Veteran and returning players will already know how to do all of this and will probably only do trials for the FM.

I honestly think Ken is the worst face I saw for a long time in any FGs, along with the most obnoxious clipping of already hideous hair.

I don't know how nobody raised an eybrow on this in the dev-art team.
 
There's a lot less room for combos with how you can't link out of lights, no FADC (there's V-trigger activation I guess) and there only being one resource so no ex + ultra combos

I'm surprised they came up with 10 tbh

If it's a criticism of the combos themselves, they're not very efficient. Could have at least had optimized damage punish combos e.g MP->HP-> H. Cannon Spike with Cammy. Instead they have you doing goofy shit like Target Combo -> Super

Wow these trials are awful

They're definitely better than 4's trials. It's a healthy mix of basic combos for beginners, BnBs, CC punishes, and one or two that are hard for the sake of being hard. My execution is garbage but my only complaint is that overall it's a little too easy. I was surprised Karin's EX Tenko, EX Orochi juggle wasn't her #10. They didn't even do her LK Mujinkyaku, EX Tenko juggle.

One of my ideas for a fighter is that people should be able to record and share their own combo trials that the community could rate. Then people could design and play Desk-like combos if they so desired.

I did all the trials earlier and there was plenty of practical stuff in there that I see used in tournaments all the time.

and I'm glad you can actually watch a demonstration of the combos right there instead of being left guessing what you did wrong like SF4 trials sometimes. Things that require specific timing is hard to understand without seeing it done first.

Do the trials or challenges reward fight money or experience? I don't think they have any achievements tied to them, they feel pretty empty and "separate".

Yes you get character EXP and fight money for each character you do. Total of 80k fight money I believe. Pretty damn good for the amount of work.

Trials and Demonstrations both give exp and FM.
I think they give a total of 99k FM all combined?

80k for just the trials.

I was surprised that most of the most useful BNBs are not used on the challenges, kind of a lost opportunity. There's just too many useless or impractical combos there.

I must return to find the answer in the heart of battle. Currently trying to become somewhat proficient with Necalli because he goes SSJ3 with Color 3 and seems to be receptive to my panicked button mashing technique.

Im surprised someone says challenges are shit because they are too easy.

As a newcomer to the saga I had a feeling of perfect idea with horrible execution with SF4's challenges, having 20 and not being able to pass the 5th or 6th on your main character was a horrible feeling.

Now we go easier, useful and comprehensive challenges that are shown to you in case you cant manage to execute them and people complain.

I havent had a chance yet to try new challenges but everything people is saying is bringing my hopes up. Main interest being taking challenges for a character I'm interested in but I dont know his/her mechanics and BnBs and learning them through challenges.

Ouch.
 
I cannot for the life of me link a fucking crouch medium punch into DP without going straight into critical art fucking trialsdskkdshfsfskjdgdhflkjghhgfdhkfd 9 (ryu)

If anyone wants easy fight money, I found Laura's to be pretty easy. I'm using Ds4 btw.
