STREET FIGHTER

[stay lurkin]

I honestly don't know how an average gamer picks up ANY fighting game. They are god awful if you can't play them.

YO FINALLY HIT PLATINUM!!!

haha i was so hype that last game into the level up. I was fighting this Super Platinum Ryu player and bested him already 3-0. Final game he was one hit away from winning but i made a good read and backdashed his throw and punished to take it 4-0. Got like 93 LP per match.

I really wanted to hit Plat before Juri came out. Think imma main her and stick to player matches.

I don't think they've confirmed anything. Maybe in an extremely vague way. The game's sales haven't been that good, the review scores on MetaCritic have been mediocre at best. But the worst of all is the game's rep among the general gamers.

It has a strong following when it comes to torunaments, which is what it was primarily made for. But while trying to appeal hard to the hardcore fans and tournament community, they lost the following of the average game consumer.

Well, they aimed to sell 2 million by March but sold 1.4 million which was not ideal but hardly a disaster.

Don't forget that Ultra SF4 was only made for the hardcore FGC at that point in time of SF4's life, so no reason why SF5 won't see a season 2 of characters with the success of EVO and the CPT in general.

They've also made character profiles and illustrations for so many characters and Ono has mentioned future updates a few times in his interviews.
I expect a lot of these characters in the future since now the base game is done and they can now focus on fine tuning and creating more characters and stages.

  All you guys on Platinum. Now's your chance.

 

[hongcouver604]

I would register, but I'm out of state and don't have my PS4 with me :/.. I'm also currently ranked #2 in my local region for the Redbull Monthlies, and I'm most likely going to get flown out to Santa Monica to compete against the top 16 in October.

 

[D Double]

^ You still rocking Bison and are you waiting for any other characters in future?

 

[hongcouver604]

Yeah still rocking Bison. I def need a secondary for certain matchups. I've been in the lab with Necalli.

Top 3 from each region get flown out to the Redbull HQ to compete, and I'm sitting pretty at #2 in terms of points/standings, very good chance I'll be going.

Let us know if you go so we can root for you on Twitch

Yea let us know. Will definitely root for you on stream.

Necalli/Bison is the same pair that Phenom uses so definitely a solid pairing.

Finally got my hands on SFV.
It feels so different from SFIV. It feels very delayed like there's lag or something.
IDK if it's my controller TV or what but it feels off

 

[ASE]

8 frames of input lag.

 

[romcadoo]

8 frames of input lag.

That's awful I couldn't image playing online.
Do they intend on fixing it?

 

[ASE]

They've said they're looking into it, but its unlikely anything changes until this season is over.

 

[dakingii]

Meh i really dont see the input lag affecting my online experience that much, but i cant speak for anyone else because it may actually be an issue for them.

I disagree with V feeling slower and IV. It plays alot smoother imo, maybe it depends on what character you played. Im a bit biased though because i ended up hating IV by the time Ultra came out.

 

[ASE]

I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's not an online issue its across the board. Meaning training mode will feel the same as online, barring connection issues.

I never played IV, but when I started playing V I noticed it. I'm accustomed to it now though.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Don't all modern fighting games have 5 frames of input lag? So it's really a difference of 3 frames. It should still be fixed though. And I think they will. They just didn't want to alter it this season to affect the tournament play.

Coming in one of the next updates:

 

[fishflesh]

I played a demo.
