UNIST and GG haven’t had updates in eons and no one is complaining because they were never promised.
Good thing you pointed that out because I would have never told.

I felt in my gut that FR wasn’t going to give us anything. Posted such at the start of the day but my prediction may have been missed (also got half of GF right, but half very very wrong). All the hype for that felt manufactured and Capcom wasn’t indicating anything about new stuff. Hell I’m slightly surprised we even got the new stage.
The lack of a clear message about this season is kinda frustrating but the longer it goes on the more I get the sense that Capcom may have had plans but things may have gone awry with their original timeline. Regardless we aren’t hearing shit until they are ready to reveal whatever they have on deck. They aren’t going to make an announcement that they don’t have anything to announce, and the even dumber option is to announce an announcement forthcoming.
I do agree with the sentiment that the modern drip content cycle sort of fucks with how people view games. Because they are never complete you are always waiting for the next component to form an opinion on the “finished” product, and that can be doubly dangerous because if a game is “almost there” for you the promise of more content/changes can keep you on the hook with a game you may have otherwise bailed on.
I think a lot of people have this relationship with SF5 and I think it is part of the reason why NRS games have a 2 year life span (as soon as new content dries up the game is “dead” and everyone is ready for the next thing).
I think we are definitely getting more characters. My reasoning is simple and dumb: the character select screen is lopsided and zoomed out enough to give us roughly 5 more character slots. Maybe they did that just to fit Kage on there but I think they probably at least intended to give us a full 6 or so this year.
Do I care when they come out? Not really. I’ve made my peace with the game SFV is and is going to be, and I don’t think any characters or patches are going to change that (even if they add in CAs and VSkills I don’t see things shifting a bunch). I have a character I like and I’m gonna work at, and even if I didn’t I wouldn’t be under any delusions that a new char is going to be dramatically different from the cast as it is. At some point you just need to play the game.
Early morning ramblings. FR was pretty cool. I found the competition to be overall fun to watch but it definitely does get a little boring at points. The GF was kinda nuts. Didn’t expect it to play out that way (the pace of it more than anything else and how flummoxed Momochi seemed). Strong start to the competitive year, especially since we saw some strong new (and newish) blood doing well.

Now we just need to get Trashbox to fly out everywhere
People could just take a hiatus from SFV instead of counting each more day without announcements, it’s not as if SFV were going to fade away or anything, and doesn’t needs to be called something as drastic as boycotting.
I’ve been playing UNIST for like two weeks now and so far so good. Don’t hate SFV, just going for variety, will come back later by S4.5 to crush counter and V Trigger doods, I actually like both of them.

and next years final round 
you got a stage, buy it, deat with it, say thank you 
That’s the thing though- they never created expectations which they could then fail to live up to.
or maybe people are just happy with what they got?

Actually right now UNIST and GG players are thirsty for new title announcement because Arc have been teasing a new version for like a year and French Bread outright said a new update for the game is coming.
Some of you are misinformed. We all in the same boat. Big difference is that these communities don’t drop a game based on its PR merits.

There are people who are happy with SFV S4 still flipping their wigs over Silencegate.
where do they show that kind of behaviour? link please
I wanted a balance patch and maybe new vskills.
As far as characters go I got Juri so i’m good.They won’t be adding Gouken probably so I won’t be expecting him.
The new stage is cool.
The lack of news is meh overall for me.News or not it’s not what motivates me to play the game or not.
I still play sf4 and that game is dead.
The idea of other companies not promising game updates is completely false. But the absolute exaggeration of corporate silence is absurd. Imagine just playing your game based on it’s merits.
i meant the being thirsty part. havent seen actually anyone anywhere asking for that stuff…
Go on Twitter or the UNIST Discord I’ve seen funny memes posted around of UNIST/SFV players being in the same boat when it comes to developer communication.
They just don’t cry bout it in mass like most of Capcom kiddos do.
