I hate the fucking region filter. Hate it hate it fucking hate.
Basically, unless you are in the US or Japan, you are screwed. Why? Because the filter prevents you from seeing lobbies created by people outside your region, unless they set their region preferences to ‘any’.
I just got SSFIV and played for a couple of hours. My online is a barren wasteland, with nothing but people who are in equally vacant regions (Australia, South America, scattered European countries) and who are forced to set their region preferences to ‘any’, but against whom I can’t play since I get 1 bar connections to all of them.
I have to refresh until I mercyfully find a US player who set his lobby to ‘Any’ and with whom I have a 4 or 5 bar connection. Takes forever to do so.
And Endless Battle might as well not exist. 9 out of 10 times my results yield nothing, other than random players from the other side of the world with whom I have 1 bar connections.
I played over 5000 battles online in Vanilla SFIV. About 95% of those were against US players. I get excellent 4 and 5 bar connections against a ton of people in the US, specially against people from California. But now it’s as if 100000 potential opponents had banished from the face of the Earth.
Characters only have so many combos. It was either that, or tweak every character so they wouldn’t have any more of their old viable combos to fall back on.
I (and the rest of the room) took one severe beat down tonight to this incredile Guy. Fortunately, it was my brand spankin’ new (didn’t even use in 3rd Strike) Makoto that took the beating instead of a character I’m quite comfy with. I do not want to give up on using this bitch, but man… she is a bitch. lol!
On the bright side, I got the 10 wins in a row in ranked mode achievement, a run I made off my first time with this game’s ranked mode. I think I’m done with Endless. I just don’t have the time or desire to sit through a bunch of matches just to get to a match I could lose (or win and then get kicked from the session) or folks could bail the hell out or whatever. Aside from all the “unable to join” messages, I get into matches pretty fast in Ranked. So, Ranked is where I’ll be from now on, not that I care about rankings or anything.
Imagine a fighting stage that didn’t scroll! Two players in a box, like the bonus stages!
Is it me or is throw teching a lot harder to do in this game? There’s been so many instances where I know I tech and it doesn’t work. It just isn’t the same from Vanilla IMO.
Game needs a “mix” option where it’ll either randomly play a character theme or said stage theme…or either of the character’s being played’s theme.
Why the hell do Gouken and Akuma share the same Theme? On top of that it’s Ryu’s 2nd theme from vanilla. Why the fuck are Gouken and Akuma’s themes played during their boss matches and online lobbies yet they can’t even fight to their theme? These are 2 themes I actually “liked” from the vanilla cast themes and they don’t even get the chance to fight to it?:shake:
Sure it’s been said many times, but for capcom to have the option to choose which stage you are able to fight on during training mode not being included is silly. Especially when other fighters that they’ve done (Pocket Fighter, all Vs series, Vampire Savior) has had them. Little silly there Capcom.
Capcom also needs to let go of this “shortcut” debate because i’m also getting fed up of talking about it and randomly getting soul throws or some other motion that I clearly did not do.
Color 12. I swear when I first played I picked Cody in it and thought something was wrong with my game, or that Cody’s model needed a patch.
Stages are the same basically. Would it have killed them to just make all the classics like Ken’s, Ryu’s, etc in 3d with their music? (Though its cool you can now hear the remix songs but at random :()
Dudley doesn’t say let’s fight like gentlemen as his intro. And haven’t heard him say Gutter Trash but I don’t got all his taunts so I’m hoping.
Sigh This is what SRK has become. I reckon 90% of the posts here are arguing about stupid things.
Some have been good though, re: BGM issues, replay channel’s lack of search function, regional issues, the unflattering menu picture, counter ultras, no ping
Everything else… sigh is an understatement. *“Because i’m pro and replays risk making people X-COPY me”, “FADC taking 2 bars?”, “No champ mode”, “it’s $40”, “omg damage nerfs”
Learn 2 play then complain on the basis that you actually know something legitimate.
This is really starting to annoy me. There are a lot of instances where I get into a match and the person starts to throw a bit after any blocked attack, and even though I’m spamming lp+lk to tech throw, it only actually works about 5-10% of the time. I don’t understand WHY it works sometimes and not others.
Yeah I need to know what’s up with this. It’s pretty annoying when someone is doing predictable throws/tick throws and I’m not able to tech them.
EDIT: Hmm, it seems crouch teching has a more strict timing. Especially on tick throws. You have to time it perfectly for it to work. Standing tech is way easier.
all the 3S characters have some super quick attack that gets them a great distance. Last night I witnessed probably the first ever Adon Scrub… Wall dive, to dp. wall dive to dp. wakeup ultra, ultra on AA reset.
