Okay so the Fantasy Strike servers seem to have become somewhat more stable. Disconnects still happen but it’s more rare than before where it was every single game.

Welp lost 5 straight in FS. Gonna have to learn how to deal with pressure with Onimaru.
Do grids in training stage spoils a match that it makes distance and range too obvious and easier to anticipate. because it narrows the skills that it took away take the risk of reading your opponent and also commitment on mistakes or there is other that I might not aware of too.
Happy Birthday @Volta

Personally, i don’t think there’s much advantage to it. I mean, I’m sure I’m not the only one to use the gridlines to determine which attack has better range, but after that, all of my spacing practice comes from me eyeing he distance between me and my opponent, so its applicable on every stage.
Also, we’re both playing on the grid, so it’s not like P1 has an unfair advantage.
The Grid is only banned from tournaments because Capcom wants to show off their prettier stages, especially the expensive ass CPT ones.

I’m not a marketing guy, so I can’t say for sure that a female on the cover is detrimental to sales, but as you said yourself, Bayonetta and HZD sold fewer copies than similar games with male protagonists. Doesn’t mean, of course, that a game with a female both on the cover and as an in-game protagonist can’t sell boatloads of copies.
I suppose the ultimate litmus test would be to release the same game with different box art (one male, one female) and distribute them evenly to see whether there is a statistically significant difference in sales.
And God of War sold twice as well as Devil May Cry 4. Both featured male protagonists. Capcom thus came to the conclusion that Devil May Cry needed to be rebooted, being redesigned specifically to appeal to Western audiences. The rebooted DmC proceeded to sell worse than DMC4.
Again, Bayonetta is a different game than Devil May Cry. I prefer Bayonetta the character to Dante, and I want more Bayonetta games, but I honestly feel Devil May Cry earns its better sales through being the better series. Devil May Cry pretty much started the genre that Bayonetta exists within. DMC built its “tough game” cred while also attempting to widen its more casual appeal, while Bayonetta is more of a niche game by design.
Uncharted is a well-established juggernaut series, with a setting that appeals to a wide audience, and a carefully tailored action movie appearance against designed to appeal to a wide audience. Horizon Zero Dawn was a brand new franchise, with a completely different setting. The funny thing is that if Horizon Zero Dawn had a male protagonist, likely no one would have expected it to sell anywhere near as well as Uncharted. The only reason it was considered “news” that HZD failed to approach Uncharted 4’s sales was because HZD had a female protagonist.

New DRM may be coming to Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition in the near future that may shut down PC mods?
Players recently discovered an updated listing on Street Fighter 5’s Steam Database page which says the game will be implementing a new third-party Digital Rights Management (DRM) tool on PC that could impact the game in a number important of ways.
The security software, called CrackProof, offers a way for developers and publishers to try and keep users from tampering with a game’s files for a multitude of purposes.
This includes anti-piracy measures to stop people from playing unauthorized / illegal copies of a game as well as cheat detection to prevent players from using modified code to see through maps or have infinite health points though there’s one part in particular that’s caught the attention of the FGC.
Modders are now worried their additions to the game may become blocked completely which goes far beyond just player-made costumes and stages.
FT Tom, the creator of the Frame Trapped mod which allows PC players to see real-time hitboxes and frame advantage in-game, believes adding this DRM would break his mod and other accessibility tools like it.
“With how this is being introduced, I think it’s going to basically destroy every useful tool and mod out there,” said FT Tom in an interview with Ernesto Lopez Jr. “It’s going to basically make it impossible to help us maintain it as easily as we have.”

Sucks.
Mods are one of the things that kept me playing the game as long as i did.
Cheats need to be dealt with but i see no issue in having some costume mods that only YOU can see anyway. They better look into retarded costumes they keep releasing and can’t even use in tournaments looking at how badly designed they are.

Capcom can’t have Modders make better costumes than them.
It’s about the money.
Wonder when they install the Netcode Upgrades tho.
It’s gonna be the 2021 Capcom Pro tour DLC.
20 bucks please.
Nah man, this will just color every rollback in a trendy pink.
The actual Netcode upgrade is planned for never you get the same Netcode in SFVI 2030.

Hopefully not, as i actually want SF6 to be a successful game.
My expectations for SFVI are low, they’ve realiced they can get away with everything and people will stick to their game, as long as there is a Pro Tour in one way or another.
Expect a minimum effort, barebone launch of a game, that has a low amount of content and features and ads placed all over it.
And expect them to sell you again 20 Chun-Li costumes for 5€ each and have Juri be low tier again.

Are they ?
I personally know a lot of people that either did not even bother with SF5 or dropped it entirely, myself included.
Dude people have been bitching about stuff since day 1 and they haven’t adressed them.
Instead of adressing problems and fixing stuff, they give you more costumes instead.
Just like Sajam said, Capcom doesn’t want your help with fixing the game, they want you to make costumes for them.
Have you seen the tourney attendance for SFV and all the costumes dropped?
Capcom gonna roll out some more bullshit and peeps gonna eat it up.
