You have to weigh that against the pop. density and player base though, when you create regions. If we subdivide too much, scrolling through that list to find a match is going to be a pain in the dick. Canada is huge, yes, but all of Canada’s population combined doesn’t even reach the pop. of US West Coast. It’ll suck if I get a match in Nova Scotia at a Billion Ping, but at that point being on West Coast side I can just go to the appropriate US region and know that there’s a tonne more people there.
Why don’t you just mail Mike Z a check for $20 and save yourself all this trouble?
By the way, what is adjusted on the AI? Is the Ridiculous mode going to be harder? Oh please, that would be awesome.
I might be wrong, but there was a change to the float on Parasoul’s j.MK wasn’t there? something about now being able to cancel it?
My god, you guys are literally the pinnacle of what gaming dev’s should be. I’ll gladly buy all your content, 3 times over. Hopefully now I can get some games now online (no local scene.) and fully pick this game up.
If you subdivide too much, it becomes annoying going through the list of regions to find one with people in it. SSF4 has this problem, its divided by country, and my country has a bit over 5 million people and not very many fighting game players, so the region search is in effect useless. I have to select “any” region and decide myself from the ping.
The perfect solution of course would be letting you choose a list of regions you want to participate in, or even automatically take distance/latency into account in matchmaking algo. But those are advanced solutions that take much more effort from the matchmaking code and related server infrastructure.
Any progress with a Japan release?
sounds great,
did you guys consider trials combos for the each characters in their tutorials? as by now there are amazingly refined BnB combos you can grab from these boards.
or would it have been too much work?
Thanks to the commission money I’ve been making, I’m totes spending $8 for all the character packs separately. Really excited for the first DLC character(s) though. Unless it’s Marie.
The one stupid thing I’m excited about is the changes to Lenny super. More damage AND I can’t accidentally fuck up a DHC off of it? Shit yes.
You’re brainlessly pressuring my Peacock who has 2 meter? Hope you like getting hit by Ultimate Showstopper, and then dropped into a massive explosion for almost 8k damage total.
Ridiculous Mode should have higher difficulty to prevent folks like me who can do simple bnb and raw supers on them(Not counting boss Marie) while the lower difficulties be toned down for the newcomers.
Boss Marie has a stun state if she is attacked continuously quick enough so thats something to latch onto if you ever had issues to fight Boss Marie on “sleepwalker” difficulty (I never bothered Fighting Boss Marie on Ridiculous anymore after doing it once since its just a pain)
I want to request something…
Dummy: CPU
Max Difficulty: MikeZ
For, you know…mixup practice. 
Canada (EAST) and Canada (WEST) would probably suffice.
Fuck Saskatchewan.
Woah whats with the hate
But i agree East and West Canada is good enough and im not being bias cause im East Canada
Division is good but too much is just ridiculous that new list is on that border already
too many syllables, too many fields.
“- j.MK +1f hitstun; held-button float moves faster forward/backward and allows another attack immediately when button is released.”
We considered combo trials, but for reasons unknown to most people here they were axed.
Were they axed for good or just for the time being?
For the time being. I have this really awesome thing I want to do that would revolutionize how combos are taught (yeah, I don’t usually talk like this but it’s a REALLY BIG DEAL) and I want to do it right. People that came for some of the pre-release testing know what I’m talking about. (^.^)
Is it going to be some kind of puzzle-like training? You can respond by nodding.
::does or doesn’t nod::
Schrodinger’s Mike Z?
