As sceptical as I am for SFxTK atm you are right.
Hell, Macros won’t be used at tournies anyway.
the macros could have something to do with training mode. just a thought.
I seriously can’t believe after a history of re-releases, costume DLC, mid tier character DLC, and scrubby additions people still trust Capcom, let alone the Devs to not give us the worst.
That’s not the point, that’s never been the point, if Gems are retarded, they can very easily be outed from tournaments, too.
It’s still a damn problem, I’m willing to bet at least half the people in this thread have never even attended a tournament, let alone entered one, nor do they practice primarily offline with people who would keep the tournament rules intact, so why is EVERYONE here pulling out the “Oh but they can ban it” excuse?
Haha damn bruh, if this was the MVC3 section you would have started a war.
Don’t speak the truth, I’m sure you notice that people on this forum CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
Holy assumptions on a stick Batman!
I do go to Tournies.
I love going to tournies…
I will be the first to admit that I get my ass royally kicked at them, but I do go to tournies.
I don’t like the idea of Gems either, but I want to give them a chance.
And I seriously don’t see the problem of Macros.
The way I see it, macros will be set in the options menu, aint no one gonna go: “Wait dawg, just lemme set my macros first in options”
I go to tournies too… been to both Shadowloo showdowns… attended a lot of monthlies/fortnightlys… worrying about online only stuff is abit lol… it’s like worry about online lag tactics… and besides even with gems online the matchup will still be the same 90% of the time. Just because a Ryu combo does 300 dmg instead of 240 doesn’t change the footsies battle or how to open him up and what’s safe and what isn’t from both sides.
From Seth’s Capcom Unity post…
“…but this is a new thing exploring ways that DLC can keep a fighting game interesting and fresh over a long period of time…”
In other words how Capcom can maximize it’s profits over a longer period of time while putting in the minimal amount of effort! So transparent 
Gem packs dropped here and there that will not balance shit and the lack of a No GEMS mode means you have to deal with them if you play online no matter what. If this game ships this way it’s just another sign of how the big publishers in the game industry want to squeeze every nickel from you to get a complete experience on each game.
Whether you like the idea of the GEMS or not everyone should think twice about supporting this biz model. It’s bad for the consumer, and in the long term, bad for the industry.
I still say wait it out. For all we know, the DLC gems might be free. Sure, Capcom won’t be making money over this, but it’s better than losing your customer base.
BTW there’s an SFxTK stream going on right now.
It’s London’s Fight Club:
They won’t be free. This is Capcom. They are doing this to extend (supposedly) their profitability off the title. If there were any other reason they would have a “No GEMs” lobby available online. And before all the dumb asses quote Seth “It’s balanced for GEM use” I ask them if it that was so then why do you have the option to NOT equip GEMs???
This is= Cash Grab > The Consumer/Integrity of the Product/etc
And they are trying it with this game because they no so many people are excited over this crossover. The suits are bending their customers over… I’m hoping we don’t let it end profitably for them.
Whether you support GEMs or not you should all demand a “No GEMs Online Lobby” and refuse to purchase the game without it. You’d be supporting your fellow consumers if you did.
Not looking forward to going online and fighting against the army of preorder/dlc gem users.
What the fuck is supposed to be so good about TwitchTV? Why can’t they use UStream? =_=
Who just released a major title update to Street Fighter 4, which everyone who still cares about that game would want, for free.
So, there’s that.
Apples and Oranges… AE was an F’up from the beginning and they’re trying to make good. Then again if your so convinced of Capcom’s benevolence with updates that were INTENDED to be cash cows all along, why don’t you go and download some of those costume DLC packs they’re offering for free now. Oh thaat’s right you can’t
AE being sold for 15 dollars early this year was most likely to cover for the game being on Arcades (a little extra income).
Unless the initial AE update was available for free?
First, my point was that “It’s Capcom” is very obviously not approaching the issue from a place of logic or honesty. Second, as much as I want to say that it’s completely fucking retarded to suggest that you know what anything is intended to be, everything is intended to be a cash cow. It doesn’t imply anything.
HUD still looks like shit. Too much yellow tint in the overall graphics of the game
I am very glad of you guys for Bitching and Complaining. See you made Capcom make their move with constant articles of how it is going to be balance. We can at least try to get a change or something. Maybe they will give in or something. Some said bitching and complaining wont do shit earlier in this thread but just maybe.
I still do not like the Gem system especially the DLC/preordered ones. “See how it plays excuse” will not work on me with this one. To clear cut, what will happen. It will not be balanced. Lets be real ppl.
Lets hope I am wrong and you guys can bitch at me. Would love that.
Leave it up toto the londoners (yea I just made up) to tell tthe stream that this is a new game, don’t compare it to past games. Bravo Ryan Heart. I’m not afan of his but that was a great comment.
I think the only thing we should try to do is to change how Gems will be distributed. That seems to be the main problem for most people.
