I’m really trying to love sfxtek.
And Im sure the “Long wait time during character selects” topic has been brought up many times.
But to be honest, the 10-20 seconds it takes to click gems isn’t really the problem. I don’t mind waiting an extra 10 seconds during character select.
The problem is the rest of the entire menu system. and all the useless cutscenes pasted between every single victory. and the excessive load times before character select, where you still see the message “Waiting for other player”.
Didn’t they learn anything from Dead or alive 3? 10 years ago?
Sure… those lame ninja jump scenes from stage layer to layer Look … “Ok”…
but after you’ve seen it two times… its just bad art.
Nothings worse than waiting 3 minutes between Two might fights X_x.
Its not the 20 seconds of gem selection thats the problem. its the other 3 minutes and 20 seconds you have to stand around doing nothing, whlie watching stupid graphics and slow menus X_x.
I want ONE Button.
the "SKIP ALL THAT USELESS A## S@#$* or Offer instant rematch (No stupid menus - cutscenes included.
Like all things in life…adjust
It’s not a problem for me at all. This is not Super Street Fighter 4. Treat every game different.
My SG takes just about the same time to load and its on the HDD 
Thank goodness it has a rematch option which all fighters should have.
make sure the game is installed on your xbox/ps3.
if it’s slow online sometimes the opponent didn’t install.
pretty much everything else is skippable by mashing start
Capcom are hideous at menu design/UX stuff in general.
After playing this and then going back to Third Strike it made me realize how slow the VS screen actually is.
This is true. However, SFxT really seems to take it to that next level. This game seems like their crowning achievement in UX fail.
As already stated, install the game on your HDD and mash start to get past the cut scenes. The 20 seconds or so you gotta wait if the other player hasn’t installed the game is a different story. Not much you can do there but wait…
There are a lot of useless animations that make the selection longer and ‘heavier’. SF IV’s menus and character selection are more essential and agile.
Backing out from the XBL screen back to the main screen takes 6-7 seconds. For a menu, that’s pretty ridiculous.
a little bit more effort with UX coulda gone a long, long way
seems pretty fast to me or at least comparable to sf4 on ps3. are you using original 360s with teh old harddrives? did you install to hdd? i know skullgirls is absolutely retarded long load times on my friends 360 compared to my ps3 and he has the original 360. my 360 slim (logged in with his account to download/play) has much faster load times compared to his 360.
