How healthy is the online community for SFxT PC? I’m planning on buying an original copy so that I could play online.
At any time you search for endless lobbies there’s about a 90% chance none are up. If one is up and you happen to have a bad connection between you and the host, you’re out of luck too. This is ofcourse with the most lenient search settings, so area: all etc.
You can get into ranked matched slowly during most of the day, but not always. When you get into them, it’s slow, and there’s always a good chance you lag. Also sometimes you don’t notice any lag but they see you teleporting like crazy and they won’t want to play you anymore either.
The sound disappears from the moment someone lands a hit untill the end of the match.
We’re waiting for a patch that will presumably fix at least the sound and maybe some of the lag and will probably hit sometime soon. But it is unsettling to say the least that capcom released the game for pc in this state and then proceeded to go radio silent. Makes one wonder…
But I haven’t given up. I go online practically every day. The game is fun and I want to play. 
Thanks for the answer. Oh crap. I’m eenie-meenie-miney-mooing between SSFIV:AE and this game, although I prefer SFxT more due to the fact that aside of being newer I no longer have to do motions twice to execute a super. I guess I’ll have to wait a bit longer to see if there will be any progress.
I stopped playing the game, waiting for the patch. almost 2/3 of online matches in same regions are unplayable. I dont want wins or losses based on teleports.
once patch comes up I’ll start training again.in the meantime I am trying out some of the amazing mods and costumes.
wait for the patch and see if it corrects some of the problems, then by all means buy it.
Hopefully they would also come to their senses and allow cross-platform gaming with X-Box. I can’t see the reason on why not implementing this feature if it is possible.
90% of the playerbase awaits patch.
Like they said, many are awaiting the patch, but you can still find matches in ranked for hours at a time with patience.
Plus players are newer since the game is newer on PC so you wont get beat down as hard if you are just starting out online.
I usually just surf or whatever(SRK…etc…) till I see the match pop up.
But PLEASE make sure you close your browser and anything downloading in the background as soon as it does!
Just so you know: there is a reason you have to input the super motion twice, it isn’t just because it’s “a way cooler fireball”. It has to do with buffering inputs, conserving motion, easier execution, etc.
Not that it matters a whole ton, if you’re picking up either of these for a first time that kind of knowledge will be coming with hours of practice.
you cant justify double half-circles,that shit is just dumb and annoying.
why they just wont make 2x QCF/QCB for every ultra is beyond me
What happened to your Street Fighter is Hard! I need it!
On topic: I am one of many people staying away from public online (Ranked/Endless with randoms) until the patch. Not saying it’s going to be a huge surge of numbers, but I feel like judging the online now might be slightly inaccurate compared to after the patch, assuming it fixes the issue. But this may just be optimism. Regardless, I quite enjoy playing around in the game and thinking/experimenting with teams either online with friends or just in arcade mode.
Takes about a minute to find a ranked match with all the filters off. There is never any endless battle lobbies or scramble open. If your coming from xbox you’ll find it extremely easy to beat everyone. Online is miserable the sound is off and people teleport everywhere. I’d recommend getting the xbox or playstation version. The community is really big and the game runs really smooth online.
I did play the PC version today. Just playing B+'s and A’s (every time they lose to me its -80 points). This french 140,000 bp player gave me around 1000 points before a mid game quit, he was so determined to win lol.
Total damage today: -3280bp
140,000 bp? Really? Whatdafuggs?
Please tell me you meant 14,000. Because with the PC version being what, a month old? I can’t imagine anyone has hit that without hacking. >_>
Still… nice 1,000 point reward. :rock:
it’s no miracle to beat the crap out of everyone, as long as the constant lag teleports aren’t at your side.
no, pc skill level is pretty abyssmal.
i am mediocre player and i have 10k bp with 85% winrate.
i somehow win matches when enemy teleports like hell lol. crossup - jab,jab - lmh - launcher never fails.
Well, today’s the day. Let’s see if they bother updating the PC version.
Hopefully they do. Tomorrow’s payday. XD
You’re expecting the 1.05 PC patch to go live simultaneously with consoles?
Haa~!!
Well, Capcom said A patch would be arriving on PC shortly, and it would quite frankly be retarded to release an outdated patch.
you underestimate capcom
They haven’t given a date for the PC patch. Hell, we should at least see if the console patch works right first. XD
That said, yeah I wouldn’t expect a patch today. Like, at all. I’d be honestly surprised if we get it within the next week.
