Well, with some good programmers, you can do a lot during a year, but with a bunch of freshly hired guys, a little less.
Whatever the base was, it’s still a hard job to do, specially when Q&A is practically inexistant all along…
Also, i now doubt they worked during ~ 1 year on it.
I repeat I like OE but right now I feel kind of left out in the cold. Can we please just here a status update or something?
A update should be incoming just be patient. After all its do or die for the 3soe team its do or die man… /equip torch
Didn’t they already kinda hint that no more patches are coming due to Sony’s and Microsoft’s retarded policy of having to pay a fuckton of money for more than two patches?
If that’s true, they still probably have chances to upload a future (and larger) patch as a free mandatory download Battlefield style.
I hope that download just replaces the whole Dreamcast bullshit with actual proper CPS-III emulation.
Yeah we’ll be getting no more patches. I remember reading its 2 free patches, then you can include one in paid DLC I guess? $5 DLC training mode?
But no seriously, we’re gonna have to wait for Ultimate Street Fighter 3 : Third Strike Online Edition.
EDIT: I was playing 2nd Impact earlier, and the stages are awesome! Some change DOA style in different rounds. Its weird tho, its so similar to 3rd strike, but refreshingly different! I hope 2nd impact version characters and stages are in ultimate…
keep dreaming.
Yeah life sucks dick.
Yeah they’re not going to redo the whole thing from scratch as part of a patch, sorry…
I was watching some footage of it on YouTube, I wonder why they ever got rid of the old stages or the post-fight portraits? I would’ve liked to have the 2nd Impact voices as an option too, just for laughs, even though most of them are terrible.
I’ve told this story before, but I tried 2nd Impact like 5 or so years back. I was playing Hugo(he was my 3S main at the time) and this dude was playing Ibuki. I was really feeling the brokenness of her, but I tried to early-grab her with Backbreaker. She parried it. I was like “…nah, that has to just be me.” I tried again later in the match, and I heard that clashing sound with the “Tech Bonus” showing up. I just…paused the game, gave the stick to my friend next to me and said “Here you go dude, I don’t think I wanna play this anymore…” We all had a good laugh, but I just knew I could never take this seriously.
Hey guys, wish you were here! Me and the GSV guys say what’s up. Have fun with 3sooe!

lololololol
There might be a chance that they’ll patch it when they release the 2I stage backgrounds as DLC. Emphasis on ‘might’ but even then I doubt they’ll fix the big issues.
I want to try 3S on MameHUB and see if that’s any better.
3s on regular MAME works perfectly, no?
Probably not, “regular” MAME guys have gotten all anal about emulation.
They want it to be “100% authentic”, which means not using little hacks to get games to run better.
Since it’s an arcade board, it’s probably to conserve memory or increase performance.
Same reason why 2I had widescreen mode and multi-tier stages, and then they got dropped in 3S.
Also, some of the post-fight portraits were a little… well…
Another reason to love the 3s series! The clearly didnt give a fuck!
What it all comes down to is online fighters = garbage.
I’ve seen players win in the most disgusting ways online that would get bodied HARD offline. I think all these bad ports/netcode are a sign from the fighting game gods.
i just upgraded my internet, online’s gonna be sick now.
I HEART THIS DUDE.
I hate lag, I mean, I HATE LAG. if it lags for a FRAME, just one frame. then it destroys the entire game.
I start to think, what just happen, and then three seconds have gone by where I could of established a better postion on my opponent, or simple bnb combos start to mess up.
My internet is PERFECT. I have 5 bars ALL THE TIME, there should be no excuse for lag (unless the other dude ALWAYS has shit internet)
My freinds that are going for their masters in computer science, they said their netcode should be tested in more areas, but if capcom gets their money, then…yeah
i think they did a lot… port game to two different platforms, add new features… porting the game involves getting familiarized with the original code base, which can be demoralizing in itself. my friend at work who is a senior dev is porting something to ps3 (not a game though), and he says the ps3 is a bitch to work with because there are multiple processors and they all don’t share the same memory and u need different toolchains for each one and blah blah. i mean IG have done ps3 so that’s not really an excuse i guess, but still, it’s not like completely straightforward.
and there was likely QA, but if u don’t know what problems you’re looking for, you’re not going to log a bug for someone to fix it. because you don’t know it’s there. lol. this is probably BLASPHEMY but i think that if floe had stayed longer and saw the end product, even he would’ve pointed out the obvious shit that we’re all seeing.
the biggest question mark i have is… wtf is up with the matchmaking? if there are other console FGs that use ggpo and have better matchmaking, i would like to see that.
So… they will fix the matchmaking witch don’t refresh ??? I can’t play with others unknow players, it’s awful, i don’t like the ranked mode so i can’t play ??? DAMN… i go spam Dave
