The combination of choosing your opponent, variable difficulties and normal game conditions. The third reason being the most important obviously, since you currently cannot play a simple best 2 out of 3 against the CPU in any capacity. That functionality is already built into the game, so unlike the numerous areas of the game Capcom is working on completing, there’s no reason for the omission.
Yes, it should be there. There is no reason it shouldn’t be available.
I guess I just don’t understand people who want to fight CPU when there’s online matches available.
You have a point but that only shows how ultimately SF is getting preferential treatment because it’s THE main fighting game. People don’t care how messed up, bugged out or even if it’s shit on a plate, people will defend it until the wheels fall off and defend it some more.
Despite how negative I’ve been to SFV, that was not how I wanted to approach this game but at the same time, I’m not going to go buy this game until everything gets completely ironed out, PS4 and PC wise.
You gotta realize that if any other fighting game that did this, it would be crucified at the stake, even including Smash. Street Fighter can ignore this simply because of nostalgia factor and it being Street Fighter. It’s not people getting the info, it’s pure fanboyism.
let’s just be real, what we got this week is really Street fighter 5 full access beta edition.
in there defense while online matches weren’t possible for most of yesterday any vs. cpu that’s set to 2/3 rounds at starts at full health with no meter is better than nothing.
You don’t have to understand those people. You just have to understand those people exist. Maybe they just want to play against a character other than Ryu and Ken. Sounds simple enough.
I really don’t get your apprehension. You do dabble in training mode, don’t you? Why isn’t training against a character under normal game conditions between online bouts not a reasonable desire? What if the servers are down like they were yesterday? What if PSN is down like it always is a few times every year? It’s training under normal game conditions. Just like every other situation you can practice under in training, it has value.
You do realize that the servers being down means there’s a big chance that the overall Capcom servers could be down too and there goes getting any FM or alt colors for doing Survival or the other Single Player Modes right?
Gotta say I’m disappointed with what I’ve got right now after paying full price. Yes the free content over time is a good thing but I do expect a game to be completely finished and ready with all features when it’s released. Extra add on dlc I understand is now a cash cow and so most if not all games that are released now are ‘incomplete’. The fact that arcade mode, a staple of most fighting games and ever present in the street fighter franchise isn’t there makes the game feel lite. Perhaps when the server issues are sorted and I’m not kicked off halfway through offline survival(?!) then I’ll feel better about playing it.
I never thought the day would come , when people would be crying about missing crap like Arcade mode and Challenge mode over a fully functional GGPO netcode ( At least it was working fine for me as of last night).
I understand the game doesn’t feel worth $60 as it is right now. But jesus some people are making it out like there is nothing to do in the game.
Because all people want to play games for is just online right? There’s no way people want to sometimes just chill and fight some CPU or something, nope that can’t happen ever.
The guys I was talking to got the info. They said they are satisfied with what they bought because they know the 60 dollars will give then a lot more content for no extra charge in the future. They just like the concept of set it and forget when it comes to plopping the 60 down. Long as they play and do trials they get free characters.
There are others that are truly going on blind fanboyism and while that’s not a good idea, its a necessary evil for helping the game survive. Ill agree with you in that Capcom and Sony are the right people to make these kind of mistakes and still succeed any way. Thats partly why they did it and can just use the alibi of “Capcom Cup is coming”
It is pretty simple. Arcade mode after you win your life auto-refills. The only way most character build v-trigger is eating hits to the face … something you can’t let happen in survival mode. Unless you spend your supplement to get a full v-trigger you are rarely if ever going to build a v-trigger gauge and you can’t afford to let the CPU hit you since you might get a low-refill on health then get input read into being dead because you started a round at 30% life. You can’t practice your confirms and anti-airs on a moving opponent because playing survival you have to resort to the Anti-AI to min-max every match so you don’t accidently die to a random input read like high level Cammy who will do the Akuma walk of death where she input reads a DP or throw.
You can’t even play the game in any semblance in Survival whereas you can take extra risk and not have to worry about getting reset back to level 0 if you try it the honest playing it out way and fuck up rather than spamming an anti-AI strat. Some people like the advantage of practicing their tech on a moving opponent in a low pressure enviroment. Having to deal with getting outspaced and rushed down can make it hard to even get a feel for your setup or new trick you want to try out whereas the AI being dumb makes it easier to experiment and understand range dependencies and maybe when you hit them out of certain moves your setup doesn’t work because of extended hurtboxes or something.
To be honest, as a person that is dissatisfied with not having a vs CPU mode, do I need a justification for not having something that should be in the game and isn’t that I like? Is that not enough of a reason by itself?
I mean, when you get right down to it, it could have easily been included but wasn’t. And that is a failure on their part no matter how unimportant it is to some people personally.
I hope they add the basic Arcade mode with randomized enemies that can tweak difficulties because not everyone plays online some other countries does play for offline modes
