Iām right where Iāve always been. Discussing the SF canon.
Where you at? Getting your June release in July announced a handful of days before the end of the month? That come with lube or is that paid DLC?
Did you buy Umbrella Corps too? Get the Capcom spit-roast going on both ends?
Rage quitting still not fixed.
Lobbies still broken.
8 frames. (Oh waitā¦that was intentionalā¦no wait, it wasnātā¦no waitā¦please understandā¦)
Canāt help but notice you didnāt refute my points. They announced a June release date (which is actually occurring in July) a handful of days before the end of the month after just promising they would work on improving communication.
And they release Umbrella Corpsā¦a pre-alpha piece of garbage that wouldnāt qualify as a decent free to play let alone a bargain-priced product. And this happened after Capcom JUST spoke about giving games more development time so theyād stop releasingā¦yāknowā¦half finished shit.
Or did those two things not just actually happen? Capcom hit your prostate so hard you forgot those events?
Sorry
Are we discussing umbrella corps here?
Iām enjoying the game and hyped af for Friday while youāre giving enough salt to give the entire srk forum their lifetime required intake
Lmfao What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to say, entirely straight faced, that weāre getting Rog EARLY from Capcom BECAUSE he was supposed to come out in Julyā¦and heās coming out in July. I meanā¦seriously?
This is why people canāt take a lot of the BLIND Capcom defense (because some defense is warranted) seriously.
Iām discussing Capcom. Did you perhaps miss that? I can separate my hype for SF (and believe me I am hype for Urienā¦check the avatar) and still absolutely be critical of Capcom as a company.
Enjoying a game does not make it or its parent company flawless or immune to criticism.
I want to play Urienā¦I donāt want to deal with broken ass lobbies, constant punitive rage quits and input delay. These things still factually exist and undermine my SFV experience. Calling it out is valid. It hurts my hypeā¦badly.
Furthermore Capcom seems to STILL be doing the sort of shit they just said they were working on. Calling that out is valid.
Thereās no deny that we lost (tbh didānt care, least hype char of the season for me) an Ibuki month, but weāre getting Rog if not technically in advance, in the very first schedule day we can get it
Lol calling out that 1st July isānt 30 June is just actively try to miss the pratical point
Itās ok, keep the crusade
Personally as dude that from S1 was waiting mostly Rog and Urien, i like that friday will be able to play Rog when was expeting to have to wait until 31July
Iām more psyched about being able to play Urien (even in any small amount) on July 1st.
Late is late, however.
Now, if Capcom had had good communication and had been delivering on timeā¦would I be more forgiving of July 1st as āJuneāā¦yeah maybe. In fact, almost certainlyā¦but that is NOT the case.
Hell, I could point out that āMayā and āJuneā releases that come as late as possible in those months functionally āmiss the pointā of their release date window as wellā¦but I still gave the benefit of the doubt to let them release as late as possible. I just wanted a, yāknow, heads up regarding specificity of the release date. Saying on 6/25 that āHey the release date in June is going to be very late. In factā¦itās in Julyā the response is āNo shit. Great communicationā
I work on a schedule. On appointments. Iāve managed to the same thing. When someone is told āYour shift starts at 8ā and they show up at 8:05, they are not performing properly. When a June update comes out on July 1stā¦itās the same thing.
As for a Crusadeā¦if thatās what you want to call keeping a company honest to what they say and calling out when shit is still absolutely brokenā¦sure, Iāll keep doing that.
They are creators, theyāre making art. Sometimes it takes longer than you expect and delays happen. Oh no, it came out a day late. Who gives a shit lol.
What are they going to complain about after everyone is released and season 1 patches are out?
The June, update is taking the game where it needs to go. Cast feels somewhat more full and complete. DLC will be available, all in all this is a good thing.
Whatās happening July 1st? cus I just got kicked out of the same lobby Iāve been in for the past hour for the 4th time mid match and itās getting harder to go back and wait in the back of the line for one of the only two lobbies thatās ps4 onlyā¦ I thought the host has been kicking me the first couple times but then I realized its this pos game and how pos I feel for playing it.
Iām actually giving this game a chance by at least trying to understand how I can become a better player by changing my choices and thought process. Iām giving it a better chance than the no chance I gave with sf4, maybe thatās why Iām angrierā¦ Because I donāt want this game to fail, I actually want it to be good.
Iām not hype that itās functionality seems to be held together by scotch tape.
Why do you play PS4 only lobby tho? Are you that paranoid about the 8 frame āfixā they have on PC? 90% of people donāt even bother doing it for sure, I know I donāt. Low level players donāt care/ might not even know about it, high level players donāt do it because itās false training for tournaments.
Ok, after playing like 70 hours, Iām desperately trying to like this game but I canāt. Itās fine to like the game, but I simply canāt, and here are my two cents.
The fact that they basically completely removed the ability to whiffpunish in neutral by making all normals except fierce/roundhouses really stubby is not doing it for me (the input lag doesnāt help). If my opponent whiffs a low forward I want to be able to punish that with for example a low forward of my own into fireball/knockdown, whatever. Instead I helplessly watch as my foot goes through my opponents character since the hitbox on alot of normals mysteriously ends before the end of the arm/leg.
The fact that jabs are the go to anti-air for alot of characters, and that they often give a sideswitch 50/50 is really annoying and another thing I dislike.
The fact that they removed the ability to have your own style with a character, now every character basically has the same game plan. Get in, frametrap, ride the momentum. There are essentially no zoners, even Dhalsim has to go on the offensive.
And the thing I dislike most is the oversimplified combo system. Execution should be a factor in fighting games. I should have to calculate whether I trust myself enough to do that hard combo and finish out the round, or if I want to go the safe route and do the easy bnb that doesnāt net me quite as much damage / positioning. You should be able to tell a new player from an experienced one by their punishes and their utilisation of combos (and footsies). It also creates hype while watching matches, now every match looks the same since everyone can do every combo after five minutes in training mode. It also removes any possibility to be creative and discover new things. Every character is essentially fully discovered after a week.
The talk about footsies being more prevalent and important in SFV is not true. In IV there were much more footsies going on, more interesting situations in neutral, and more ways to play the game than there is now.
