I SURE AM GLAD STREET FIGHTER V HAS PLENTY OF SINGLE PLAYER CONTENT AND NO TIE-INS TO THE SERVERS DURING SUCH TIMES

Yea, this really shows how stupid FM being tied to the servers is.

Evo Facebook post just said in 4 days SF5 broke the record for registered players for a single game. I’d imagine it will increase a lot more. Sf4 last year was around 2200.

So hype.

Yeah so people can actually play the game they bought…

EVO busting out the damage limitation card already.

Because Evo is the only place where you can play the game offline and against other people.

You don’t think it’s just even a little bit strange that literally thousands of people have been left in the dark for a week with multiple problems and in that time they decided to sign up for EVO.

I hope it does do well to be honest, it’s getting dragged through mud everywhere I look. I don’t really care though, there’s enough people interested in my area that it should stick.

That’s some conspiracy theorist stuff. Evo doesn’t happen for months any way. I’ve dealt with 2 years worth of problems with KI, however long with V and I still haven’t signed up for Evo yet. The main event spectating tickets are probably already sold out for all I know.

Niggas like SF so they sign up for Evo. New game that is more accessible, new characters and changes to old characters, everyone feels like Daigo right now and they want in.

You don’t find the timing strange? Aside from the fact SF5 is the only SF game in the line up which makes it default big anyway, it grown every year anyway, it looks more like a “hey look people love this game” thing with TE timing of that news.

People haven’t been able to play the damn game for any decent amount of time without large fuck ups and they throw out some damage limitation tweets.

At least that looks like to me.

I’m about to stick a sign out on my road that says

“FT10s in Street Fighter V
Prize is images of PAAGS and cheetos”

[FengShuiEnergy]

Yeah, the servers are back up.

Go take a look at the state of Diablo 3 on consoles if you want to know how not-bad of an idea requiring server connection to earn fight money is.

SFV Server Status (SFVServer)

Anyone notice any difference?

Nah. They need a way to monitor it because it’ll be able to buy paid content. I get why they’re protecting their investment.

[GenUser]

Servers back up because I tweeted them the circus theme. …your welcome lol

[Shinkuu_Tatsumaki]

Anyone notice any difference?

Logged in, still looping Karin’s theme. Not yet.

Let’s see…me being bad with numbers, citrus on a losing streak (and getting owned by Bison SK’s), Rashid and Gief being awesome, waiting on maintenance window to be done, you know the usual.

Don’t rub the salt breh
Well, thanks for the tips to all those that tipped me the good tip. So a branch question. Does the 3 frame button buffer also work outside combos? As in, if I tap a button 3 frames before I’m out of blockstun, will it come out on the first possible frame? I fidgeted with bison’s sk in training and like 18 out of 20 times if I just straight mashed mp like crazy during blockstun i’d land a counterhit. I think i’ll stop trying to single tap and just resort to the mash. Won’t hurt my ego much, after seeing like half the people do it during the daigo stream XD

I know I know.

Yes, the 3f buffer works afte any hardened state (BS, HS, wake-up, dashing etc etc.) It’s a wonderful tool. If it’s buffered anything will act as a reversal.

Dashes can be buffered from the 9th frame
Specials can buffered on the 6f frame
Normals (including command normals), can be buffered on the 3rd frame

Funny since originally Combo had said you wouldn’t be able to buffer normals from blockstun IIRC. Also 6F means special buffer time is bigger than SF4 (5F), though the hitstop seems to vary more from move to move so I think it may be harder to consistently mash. At least that is how it felt to me.

Did you turn off all the other themes?

No. Even when i reset it it loops Karin’s theme. Maybe I should try turning just her theme off…

Also still failing to send results to server. I assume this maintenance did shit.

[Eternal]

For real though do we know when the March update is supposed to happen?

March.

[Gojira]

I don’t care if you have to be connected to servers to earn and use fight money but there are much better ways to implement that than they did. Dumping people out to the main menu in survival just because they got logged out is aggressively fuckheaded

[TINYANGRYCRAB]

Hmm servers still offline for me in the UK. Weird!

[Zeniside]

They are up, but every match fails to retrieve data for me.

[mowr]

Yeah dude UK is 5 hours ahead of US so you won’t see servers up for a bit.

Oh and ps4 dual shocks need to be banned. Just left a tourney with 69 people and 9 set ups and there were at least 4 d sync issues.
