Capcom Fighter's Network discussion/wishlist

[DevilJin_01]

But that doesn’t seem to be the case with SFV. Even the main menu in the beta felt so much more like a dashboard with eSports aspirations. Right down to the news ticker.

The only thing that could lead the CFN to be a good online platform is for it to allow a player to send a non-ranked battle invitation to another player from the other platform… this would be really neat

[DevilJin_01]

I think thats the whole point of CFN so you dont have to use PSN or Steam to connect to people. The game has its own universal networking feature.

[d3v]

Didn’t Portal 2 allow for this since it was on both PS3 and Steam. I recall having to enter either my Steam info on my PS3 or my PSN on my Steam account when playing it. Helps that buying one disc gave you both versions.

[Shinkuu_Tatsumaki]

I disagree. In fact, IMO the game should do it’s best to recognize and support the scene. Even beyond the CFN, the main menu interface itself should do its best to keep players informed about events within the community. Make it act more like a dashboard that gives you all the relevant details, such as what tournaments are taking place, which ones are near you, who won what, etc.

I guess I expected mine to be an unpopular opinion but I just wanted the game to be the game and nothing else.
Every SF, no every fighter has a cool vibe all its own a culmination of all the aesthetic details from booting the game to end of a match, it would all just feel cheapened by small tickers or notifications everywhere telling me to tune into a tournament or telling me who won the last one.

The narrator’s monologue about how awesome all the fighters are and whatnot would just contrast badly against “MADCATZ | PERSON WON SFV LAST NIGHT IN LA”. When I boot up SFV I want to be in their world, totally absorbed by SFV, if I choose to focus on the tournament scene let me do it on my own time.

Imagine how much the vibe of Super Smash Bros on N64 would be ruined by a system like this, it’s dark and gloomy menus lit up with “ISAI WON AT APEX” totally taking me out of the game’s atmosphere.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case with SFV. Even the main menu in the beta felt so much more like a dashboard with eSports aspirations. Right down to the news ticker.

I didn’t play the beta but man that… kinda sucks. Oh well.

Are you fucking serious?

Wow…

[Smashbro29]

Are you fucking serious?

Wow…

OH EM GEE YOU HAVE A CONFLICTING OPINION?! WTF MAN?! E-SPORTS!!

I’m game to talk about it, some might say it’s the whole point of a forum but shit like this adds nothing.

[DevilJin_01]

I definitely don’t mind you having an opinion. Im not here to make fun of it like some others are (its still not as zany as some of the other shit people say here), but this is the future of SF

I just don’t see how it takes you out of the game’s atmosphere. I’m pretty sure you are not gonna get tournament results popping up while in a match or anything. And I have never seen anyone complain about showing latest news and dlc deals being a bad thing.

It’s like me saying “I hope they don’t have a random select, it ruins the fact that you have to pick a character.”

It depends on how much its implemented, I’m commenting on the worst case scenario.

[HiyaMaya]

I think they should go eeeven further and implement an in built stream to the CFN main menu for CapcomFighters events, or at something you can click on that takes you to the browser version or something. As long as all streaming traffic is disabled as soon as they decided to enter a ranked/player match.

[Slizzard]

I’d like a way for people to advertise events on a list.

Not something with popups and graphics like the majors, just a text based list people could look at.

For example lets say I run a weekly every thursday starting at 6 pm. I can go to a section and put a few sentences in.

“SFV weekly every thurs 6 pm at x location! Also MKX and GG XRD” Then it lets me put a zip code/other identifier.

Then if someone goes to the “search for events” section they could do like “search for events within 30 miles of my location” and maybe mine is only 10 miles away, so they see my event and any others that meet their parameters.

[Genistar]

I’d like if they integrated a stream system to watch events on capcom network, showed who is leading in capcom cup rankings, which tournament is happening during the month, and character match up data for how many wins they have against one another.

[Shinkuu_Tatsumaki]

I’m sure the main menu will have a local option and then CFN option. Need to take into account for local/offline play and tournaments.

[d3v]

Stream integration probably won’t happen due to the partnership with Twitch.

[Plaid_Unicorn]

Yea, twitch is a major sponsor of the FGC. Capcom isn’t going to step on those toes and mess up that bread.

[DevilJin_01]

I would imagine it would work where you can click on someone’s profile and it will notify you if they are streaming from twitch. Which if you click on their stream it fires up the twitch app and their stream.

[Slizzard]

Only thing that’s gonna be kinda annoying to me is that god forbid you play against the wrong people and then it’s like “lol your record online isn’t as good as mine so u suk rofl”

“My record of 570 wins, 0 losses, and 27381 disconnects is much better!”

[Hawkingbird]

PS4 doesn’t have a twitch app. We still waiting for one.

Well it does technically. You can just stream directly to twitch. It’s not an app per se but the native streaming source is twitch correct?

You can definitely stream to twitch. I was testing it yesterday with ultra sf4 in prep to test it for sfv. You can definitely play on ps4 and stream directly to your twitch stream. I was also able to save what I was playing for later. Also I was able to save my games and save them to my PC so I could easily post them here if I wanted to (not that anyone wants to see my random sf4 games, but I could)

More importantly, come beta 2, it’d be no problem to save sfv play and then link it here no problem. After fiddling with it, I realized it’d be really easy for me to be like “Hey guys played the beta day 1, here’s 10 hours of me playing” and you could watch all you want. It’d be in like 12 pieces, but who cares.
