It's great to know that even on FIOS the netplay for this game still feels like it's underwater. Looks like another five years of just local games for me, then :smithicide:

Was wondering why I couldn't get hands to come out as Decapre yesterday, my lp button was failing.

Luckily, Madcatz saw fit to grace their sticks with a couple of spares.

I doubt anyone cares but I asked a Russian co-worker how to pronounce Decapre and he said it's "deh-KAH-brr". The e at the end is silent.

Is there DLC that lets you see costumes that other players have purchased? Live says I've downloaded the Ultra Compatibility pack, but I still get the "you can't see this costume" message a lot.

There should be other compatibility packs for the AE/Vanilla. Can't find them on the web store but I know I've downloaded them before.

Yeah, I also took it up when the reveal trailer first came out.
That's how you pronounce "december" in russian but I doubt that anyone will pronounce it that way. It's too awkward.

First thing I noticed was how many characters have few good options without red focus.

Heh, I did about the same, but kept it just in case. Was pleased that the costumes unlocked instantly on installing Ultra.

I used to have a 360, but it broke. I might get this on Steam, but the reviews I read on MK and the DC MK said the online is really bad. Has anyone had any previous versions of this game on PC? How was the online?

GFWL online was great on average, certainly better than on console. After the steam transition it's a bit hit or miss. Either you still have a good connection (arguably a better connection) or you only have that connection against a fraction of people and its unplayable against everyone else.

I'm relatively hopeful they're going to fix this. Allegedly the intent is to get everything ready for a smooth Ultra PC release. Right now they seem to be releasing frequent patches.

They deployed a weekend patch that was supposed to fix the Steamworks region matching, but I don't think it had any effect. Poor connections still happen often enough for me to find it annoying.

Why do people flock to big lobbies so much? Any time I search it's always lobbies that are 3/4, 4/6, 6/8 and so on. Is waiting around really that fun? I can't even be bothered waiting the 10 or so seconds it takes to find a ranked match, usually switch to the DVI mode on my monitor and browse cat videos on Youtube or something until the match is about to start.

When Virgin first started doing online gambling with sf4 I took part, made ~$100 in a week, couldn't get more matches, then I cashed out. The service seems pretty legit.

I'm defining legit as "I got my money transferred into my paypal account after I asked them to do so."

I never understood this either. If I want to watch matches I can do that forever online. If I turn the game on to play, I want to play.

I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.
I like medium sized lobbies (3-4 people) because you get a chance to feel different styles of play and usually get a mix of characters. One thing I don't like is when one person clearly out-ranks everybody else and we all are just trying to knock them off the top.

1/2 lobbies fill reasonably fast and 2/2 lobbies don't show up in the search results. Almost everyone in 1v1 custom matches is loving around with the new characters though. I have hadokened over 1000 Hugos, show me your main chicken dirtbags.

Mine take about a minute to fill...

Nothing feels better than making someone switch to, presumably, their main chicken after beating them a few times with one of the new cast.

Not everyone has ADHD. Some people still like that old arcade feel of waiting in line to play the winner or whatever.

You don't need to have ADHD for wanting to play a game when you play a game.

The only good thing about waiting is that you don't want to gently caress up, because if you do you have to loving wait to play again. This can sometimes act as a push to make you play better, but I rarely will willingly put myself into the situation online when I could be playing the whole time. It's different at the arcade or offline because you can hang out with people and poo poo, but even then it sucks having to wait most of the time.

Sometimes I join those huge lobbies and I use the downtime between fights to get a better look at the top player, like if I got blown the gently caress out I'll pay attention to see if he's doing poo poo that I can catch him on when it's my turn. And yeah it just kind of reminds me of the old arcade days.

I like lobbies because I get bored of seeing the exact same matchup between two characters over and over. Just adds some variety.

It still bears mentioning that a three-round match will take an hour and a half to render, and then if the upload fails you have render the video again for some reason.

So maybe don't use this feature, is what I'm trying to say.

I'm glad it's terrible/difficult because it makes people waste their time uploading vids of Ranked matches that are awful. I don't care that you perfected a new player playing a new character at all, it's not helpful. It's youtube pollution man!!!

Also Sarchasm I think you messaged me on Ultra release day asking me to play. I didn't see it until the day before yesterday, so sorry for not seeing it! I was playing offline casuals with a friend of mine that day.

So, I've recently just made the switch from UMvC to Ultra and I'm really needing some help. Played fighting games for about a year and a half, and just now trying to learn Street fighter competitively. I was hoping to grab some people to play with from here and get some critique because despite spending hours practice lab, I'm getting blasted 3-35 right now. My PSN is AlexSanteria.
