The point I'm getting at is that it goes both ways. You can't control how your opponent has their PC configured. There's no universal standard for how the game will run like on Xbox and PS3. The only thing you have to worry about on consoles is whether or not their connection is wired. On PC there's other factors to consider as well, which means your experience can generally be less consistent. I can't tell you how many green bar A ranked players I've fought that lagged randomly.

Windows update is the only thing I have auto update, everything else is manual and windows update every 2 weeks, Prior to the Lemon ULTRA port, PC version has always been king, and I don't have to pay to play on 360 and i got a better net experience for free.

all things that are manageable or easily controlled. and even in the off chance that it does occur, it's no different than your internet connection suddenly going out without notice on console or the console freezing.
I feel you that it's a more "constant" experience and don't fault you for preferring the 360 versions (the netcode issue is annoying as fuck for sure on pc), but i'll take 2 second load screens, ability to multitask over that all day err day.
As do I
Summer Drive ballrog, PI Sagat and Yakuza Bipson cannot come soon enough.
Yep, soon enough.

I think the costume pack for the new characters is the only one I want. The rest of them didn't really do anything for me.
Fair enough!
I've been playing a lot of Ryu online recently and I swear I've gotten more hate mail with him than any of my other characters combined. What is it that makes people hate him so much?

He's a shoto, so therefore he's "boring and requires no skill"
Yea according to some people in this thread lol

Ryu is kinda boring. Ken too. They like vanilla shoto base model, other shotos copy them but do something unique too.

Fell into this trap a few times today after just coming back to the game. Patience is definitely a virtue here.
gg man. keep playing with me and youll learn haha
i want to get good with abel but im booty butt cheeks with him
I like Ryu in the sense that every character in the roster is balanced against him first.
Except Dhalsim... I have no idea why.
I'm just gonna pick up Juri's and Poison's but that's just cause they're the two characters I'm playing right now. I'm surprised but happy that they gave Poison a pretty looking full leg tattoo.

You might as well start playing Adon, Ibuki, T Hawk, Cody, Decpare, Elena, Rolento, and Hugo while you're at it, since you'll have all their costumes as well. Don't want them to go to waste.
Fucking Capcom.

I'm trying to practice with Rose in the PC version, is anyone willing to try to play for a while? My id is SolarKnightR or if you're in the ScrubGAF group you can just look for Sol.

Maybe this is why I get hatemail, lol: http://youtu.be/7TpWNGIAo_0
that was difficult to watch
I probably would have thrown my arcade stick if I was the Hugo player, those were impressive comebacks.
The Mango Sentinel
Member
Holy shit hahahaha.
Good call on not doing the ex shoryu in the second round. No idea if Hugo's ex grab would've beaten it since I don't know the invincibility on each one but I think it would've won. Something I guess I'll try out in training later.

Yeah, the Poison costume is rad. And the new characters don't have much in the way of alternates yet. I'll just have this new pack and the pre-order DLC.

Yeah, Capcom patched up the costume exploit pretty quick.

Has the pricing been revealed, specifically for the complete pack with all the costumes?
What exploit was this?

I still haven't received my code from amazon. Wtf.
Oh and I love when I get called a try hard. Like what the fuck is that supposed to mean? Should I let people just beat my ass?
And I'm really disappointed that I just had 3 people in a row join me with excellent connections and leave after 1 game.

If I remember well it was to unlock the SF x TK costumes on ultra.
Just make a set of folders and done, you unlocked it, even if you didnt had the game. Now not even who has the game cant get it now, only the ones who did before the patch.
MarcoZombieCannon

You could make the folder structure/directory of where Street Fighter x Tekken kept it's saves (this is on PC, mind you) and you could get the alts for the Ultra characters that are given from having a SFxT save. Without having an actual save.
This I did not know.
Hugo 50% life to Ryu 1%. Better jump at him over and over.
MarcoZombieCannon
Member
You can, you might have to re-unlock it though. Should be under sound settings.
Haeleos

Imagine if they actually had this much impetus and concern for the glitches/network issues that plague the game instead of their costume pack nickel and diming.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

I think it helps to an extent. You get good practice against a character but more towards who ever you are playing imo. It is good to have uninhibited gameplay though, no need for rounds/loading ect. But the consequences of loosing are not there which is also a big part of make it or break it moments in gameplay, even in casual endless stuff.
I like it for warmups before casuals and getting used to new characters or tricks I wanna try out later in endless or ranked ect.
MarcoZombieCannon

That and the Ryu stuff. Capcom, wtf are you doin
Ryu not getting his donkey kick in SF4 is a damn shame.
