Same. There’s just a bunch of shit, big and small, they need to fix. From modes, to UI, to ragequitters, battle lounges, all kinds of stuff. They’re lucky the actual game is good cuz its real subpar in so many areas in modern fighting game packages.
I think I might pick up Karin as a secondary, she seems like a lot of fun
Riddle me this, Combofiend - WHY THE DID CAPCOM NOT FIX THIS EARLIER!?
They had EIGHT! EIGHT MONTHS worth of 4.5 Betas and several Stress Tests to figure out something as simple as “Did the player quit? YES -> give him a Loss”
Ed Boon is just the studio head. It’s the publisher that decides if the game is going to be released or not, if it’s going to be supported/ported or not, etc. Or did you want him to say “No, we’re not doing a pastgen port. No, we’re only going to do development of MKX for PS4 and X1”?
Probably because there are about a million other things they’re trying to implement in this game, too? All while organizing the biggest worldwide fighting game league ever (and implementing it in game)…also while implementing a brand new marketing system that allows people to earn future content in game…all while trying to create their own rollback netcode infrastructure and CFN functionality.
There’s a LOT of new ground they’re trying to cover with this game in one shot. It’s very ambitious, and it could have definitely benefitted from more time. But, they didn’t have more time. First CPT event is already going on.
I’ll assure you, though, “laziness” isn’t the reason for any issues we’re having now. I hope Ono doesn’t have to collapse again to prove that to you.
Ah, of course, the “It wasn’t in the Priority list” option select. How predictable.
LMAO
I think some of ya’ll need to play more and whine less ffs.
How do I use Battle Lounge? Whenever I search it comes up with a list of people without flags or connection bars, after 10+ seconds it will display the flag and connection to maybe 2-3 people by which time any 4-5 bar lobbies are always full? Do I just join random lobbies and hope for a good connection?
Nah the game is dead. We don’t play.
Hype is real.
Yo, how is mika’s sweep throw invincible?
Better question WHY is it throw invincible…
sounds interesting actually.
It’s stupid is what it is…I mean I absorb it with ex running bear grab but it whiffs when she’s right in front of my face? Hell no…
j.HP . b.MP > HK EX.Hooligan > Grab
Why do I find this so hard to do in an actual fight ;_;
People inviting me for FT5’s when I got to piss real bad, win 5-2 and leave the fucking lobby without saying a thing before I’m back from the toilet makes me salty.
When you gotta go… You gotta go…
I have to imagine this frustration that some feel about SF5 is exactly the feeling ST and Alpha players felt when trying 3s. it’s so different from those games, and those players so used to doing things a certain way that they lose and then say “the game sucks.”
I def have some beefs about how SF5 works, and I doubt I’ll ever be super into it where I’m actively trying to get good at it. but I think if you have that interest you owe it to yourself to start at square 1. make no assumptions about the right places to stand, how moves should work, how knockdowns should work, etc.
it’s fine to say “I tried 5 and didn’t care for it so I’m gonna go back to what I was playing before.” but I think you will just be frustrated endlessly if you keep playing expecting 5 to act like ___ game and being annoyed every time it isn’t like that.
of course I recognize that SF5 is “the game” of our community now. yup, it sucks when the main game that everyone is playing doesn’t appeal to you. not much you can do about it though, whatever design decisions they went with are likely not going to change now.
Seems like the good players are adjusting quite well and the bad players are where they were before, so I dunno.
that doesn’t really mean anything. Graham Wolfe was one of the best ST players ever and he appears to be only okay at 5. I have a friend who is top 5 in the US at 3s who sucks ass at SF5. none of these good players could beat either of them at their own games. but only so much transfers over.
based on what Dime_x told us he’s likely at least competent in several other SF games. it’s just that the game works different from those games and he’s trying too much to take habits from those games and bring them over. just gotta discard your expectations/assumptions and play the game for what it is. or don’t play it, either of those are fine!
