Fix networking issues (random disconnects and other crappy stuff) plus Vega’s desync problems and I am cool. They better not take another year like they did with the game itself.
As for balancing issues…I would leave that to the experts 
give t hawk his old dive and a slight boost on horizontal range on his dp so it doesnt whiff against every crouching and most standing attacks in the entire game
ping filter please. ranked bugs fixed please. vote kick option. network issues. random freezing. give hawk actual active frames on his throw instead of making the fp whiff like every time. give fei the old chicken wing back for hk. shit sucks now.
I’d give Fei his old MK and HK chicken wings and the ability to cancel from lows he had in his Old version. Then maybe he could stop sucking.
lol yeah but that would somehow make him like 3s chun according to sirlin. i was goofing around with it earlier in training and max range cr.mk / mp into fp rekkas doesnt connect. you have to be much closer, which fei has a lot of trouble doing against certain characters.
Any of those buffs to Fei would be too godlike. And yeah, fix Hawk’s glitches, that shit is just dumb.
I say for Fielong just give him back the Old Rekka’s and Chicken wing, keep the juggles and super changes !
Ping display is important for Online games.
This news is so gdlk i had to celebrate twice. :lovin:
Wrong. I don’t recall chicken wing saving Fei Long’s ass in ST. He was still lower mid. People like to bitch about T Hawk, but once you get in you can repeatedly tick into 360 for the win. Yeah people can reverse out of it, but don’t front and act like the situation isn’t in your favor. If you predict a reversal then let them DP/whatever and then throw them afterwards anyway. Now ask yourself what does Fei get when he gets in? He gets to chip you with 1, maybe 2 rekka punches? Or I guess three, and then he’s in major disadvantage even when it’s spaced perfectly. (You can’t even jump over a fireball afterwards) There’s also a million things that can punish it afterwards.
Again though my beef isn’t with the T Hawk people. If he needs more active frames on his 360 then he should get them, but don’t try to tell me Fei would be broken if he had his old chicken wing back. There’s just no fucking way that’s so.
Even one chicken wing with the old recovery time would be cool. How about middle kick? No one ever uses it. Short can go through fire balls, RH has the most range, and MK can have the old recovery time. I mean I have no idea why an upper mid character like Guile can get nothing but buffs while Fei is considered “too powerful” with his ST chicken wing. It’s exactly what he needs.
Also why does it seem like Honda is the only character who got a better super, but didn’t get a reduction on meter gains? Jab hands can build meter safely against half the cast while holding charge for ochio and jab headbutt. Then he has a 40% anti air charged that goes through fireballs at full screen. There’s just something that stinks about that.
I just spend a half an hour looking for a working lobby on HDR, and when I finally got in, I played for literally 10 minutes and the lobby IMPLODES and everyone D/Cs! #$%&!
This just makes the patch announcement all the sweeter for me. Hopefully within the next couple of month I won’t have to put up with this crap anymore.
Yes please.
To be honest with you guys, I wouldn’t bet on any character tweaks. I mean, the biggest issues right now are the connection issues and weird glitches. Any additional character tweaks are all conjecture, really, so there is really no basis on which any character tweaks can be decided upon. Sirlin isn’t on the project anymore, as far as we all know, so who is left that can be in charge of balance issues?
If characters get tweaked, I’ll be very surprised. But pleasantly surprised. But I’m not counting on anything, and I’m not gonna get my hopes up.

I just got a negative reputation for the above post … :shake:
Negative points message:"Remixed akuma isn’t broken, classic akuma is. Try again."
It was just something that would be nice to have as an option. If I create a room, it would be great to choose what characters I’d want to play against. Broken or not broken (I never even mentioned this word in my original post), I would bet there are people who would like to just play against the main characters and not “secret characters”. I didn’t see any bashing of Akuma there at all. I didn’t see how it was that bad of a suggestion and the implementation is simple compared to many other bugs they need to fix. I’m sure they’ve thought about it.
Advanced and Entry Level match rooms would be great but they probably wouldn’t add something that large in scope to the Player Match menu.
I’m not seeing this happening either. Connectivity is all I care about on the PS3 side.
That replay feature would be very handy though!
Is anybody expecting the opposite in terms of character tweaks, meaning that they may buff some of the characters who don’t need it (or nerf the characters who don’t deserve it) and unbalance the game really badly? I’m all for better match-ups in scenarios like Cammy vs. Honda or Fei Long vs. Akuma, but if it means characters like Cammy, Fei Long, or Zangief becoming brain dead, any character shifting over to god tier where Akuma is now, or Honda and Akuma sucking ass, I’m not interested in character tweaks.
what they need to do is get rid of whiffs completely for hawk and gief and fix all bugs and glitches. then the game is fine.
yeah I serious doubt they’ll do any balance changes. 1. people don’t care, the vast majority of players don’t care and only pick ryu and ken anyways. 2. sirlin isn’t with backbone anymore, seeing as how STHD is already way over budget I doubt they’ll pay to hire sirlin as a contractor and there’s no one else really able to make the changes. 3. Sirlin probably doesn’t agree with most changes people want. some of his quotes from postmortem interviews are so lol. Like how he mentions in the same sentence that some people say akuma is the best and how some people say blanka is the best as if any sane ST player would think they are near the same level. his mention of not being able to beat guile and honda with t. hawk so he just “tried harder” and that magically made the match winnable. and how a pro chun li player, NKI, mentioned that t. hawk should have a safe hawk dive and he made all his balance changes around this new dive. he also seemed quite satisfied with his changes to E. Honda and his overall place.
to his credit he did say he would give t. hawk a second dive if he had more time but I have to scratch my head when I read some of his interviews and articles.
I wish Sirlin had ‘tried harder’ to balance Hawk.
He said he didn’t have enough time to map the new dive to KKK and keep the old dive at PPP…so instead of going with the old dive he kept the new one in, in the process nerfing T.Hawk one of the worst characters already.
Honda is too stupid good in this game.
I still can’t find a decent safe situation to use MK/HK Chicken Wing with Feilong
As many of you noted, the characters aren’t going to be patched, so just fix the other bugs.
I remembered another addition that would be helpful for ranked matches:
Silent directional input when selecting characters
This way, the opponent won’t know what character they’re playing against until the Vs screen (since you can still hear the dinging sound when hovering over characters) making it a match between “the character you really intended to play as” instead of the matchup in the suggestion below.
The “give me your best shot” option, that allows your opponent to see which character you’ve selected in the character selection screen.
Both of these would have a toggle in the ranked match creation menu to silence directional input as well as turning on or off the blind mode.
This is reaaaally awesome news.
4 Main Bugs…
#1. Fix fucking Vega’s Desync Issues.
#2. Keep the music from cutting on and off at random.
#3. Lifebar Glitch
#4. Start Color Glitch.
If we’re tweaking folks, turn Honda and Akuma the fuck down.
