Same thing happened with Bloodborne, except iirc it took them even longer to sort out. Same situation though, they at least had a godlike single player mode
Servers running?
Can we download the update regardless?
Fuck it, Imma brag a little. I haven’t lost yet, 36 straight and counting. Granted almost everyone online is terrible but eh. I never got anywhere close to that back in SF4.
Just tested and yes, the same happened to me!!!
Got six or seven very good connections in a row in ranked.

Turns out that as long as you have steam in offline mode it is ok. It is a fairly minor issue unless you have intermittent internet connections. If you have poor consistently where you tend to lose net and keep steam on so it reconnects as soon as net comes back you’ll hang if you don’t know internet died and switch to offline mode before trying to play.
It’s a fairly minor issue but one that should be fixed.

Yeah that is my issue with survival most of the CPU isn’t about spacing or rushing down or shit. It is about finding whatever gimmick the AI can’t deal with and running that until it is over. Once you get to the CPU reading your inputs in Hard it is just bullshit, I mean if I could react to even a 15f dash with a perfect punish counter-poke and do st. MP to beat Chun’s st. MK on reaction without ever whiffing I’d be pretty godlike also.
With all of the shit that has happened with Launch Day, I seriously hope that Capcom will just release the single player modes and hopefully Alex before march.
On the positive side, I’m enjoying the game so far.
If you do that, you would be the best SF player in existence.

ken is actually pretty sick you know. at least it seems like they’ve balanced the characters reasonably well. even the worst character in the game is probably better than c tier sf4.
This VS-cancelable sweep, tho…
I hate extreme input reading AI. Kills any fun in trying to play normally and it just becomes find the exploit (which I haven’t tried to do yet). Oh well, I’ll attempt to unlock the remaining colors tomorrow.

Is it possible to turn off this Bloom (?) effect on PC which makes the characters less sharp?
Just woke up to two matches with perfect connection. Now I just need the lounges to be fixed and I’ll be in heaven.
Not sure about bloom, but you can try turning anti-aliasing in the graphics menu to low to see if that sharpens things up.

Battle lounge is the only mode that even matters to me. I seriously don’t care about ranked beyond unlocking titles and e-peening, but that comes after I’ve had a chance to properly work the game out, and to do that I need to sink some real time into some sets. Individual matches just make me try to do what it takes to win that one game rather than figuring out long term stuff.
SFV isn’t even released for me until this is working.
Why do we only get 1v1 lobbies, though? That’s some fuck shit.
