I'm still waiting to see if this game will be appealing to me. I'm just finding myself wanting to play Xrd at meetups and never drawn to playing this. Hoping some cool stuff will get discovered that kind of breaks the game  It would be really cool if fighting games in general could figure out online play. The matchmaking thing is a problem because in most genres of game your rank online actually does mean something, and the matchmaking helps you to get matched with people you should be playing against. In almost any fighting game, you are condemned to play against like 3-4 lovely/laggy people you'd rather not play at all before you get one match against someone good. Usually when that happens, you'd rather just add that player to your friends list and play long sets with him instead of trying to climb to a higher rank. Even in "GOOD GAMES" like Xrd, the ranking system is totally worthless and no one uses it. I had SF4 on PS3 and PC, which had worthless ranking systems. I had a perception that the Xbox Live ranked mode for SF4 may actually have been close to decent ranked play, but I'm guessing it really wasn't? I just tended to see top players with high ranks and get matched with other good players with somewhat high frequency.

CineD is pretty much a quasi hell dimension where Man of Steel and the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy are considered works of pure genius. We are basically usenet now. Make your time

No joke, but I'm glad you've found a groove making those SFV videos, I've been pointing my brother at them a lot. Since they're a lot more tightly produced (read: stay on topic, don't have filler) I think they're nice little building blocks, and I've been pleased to see your subscriber counter go up. Good luck! Baal: If I go, yeah. I bailed on the last year or so, but might go again. That is if there's any kind of setup. There never was for the first 3 or 4 years I went :/

Yeah but those are worldwide rankings, when you take into account 4/5 bar matches there's not that many people around that can hang with arturo at the top there in his area, but the game does its best to match him up with gold players. Whoever that second ranked FANG guy is is very good but dude always ends his string with ch.d, u+lp which is insanely unsafe even on hit and a top tier player would punish that hard every time. There was a guy in lijoes stream from south africa that said his ranked pool is the same handful of dudes every time.

jmcroft, who actually created and did most of the artwork for skullgirls, has in fact been doing a great job with those videos and they should be in the op if they aren't. they do a great job not just of addressing the subjects of the video, but also showing new players what to be looking for when analyzing the game.

cams posted:i am legit curious what your problems with it are. i think the point system does a good job into settling you into a rank you should be at. if your problem is that it doesn't actually reliably match you against players of your same skill level, that's valid, but it's not really what the system is trying to do outright. This is complete conjecture on my part but it feels to me like there's a MMR system in addition to the point system? Sorta like how Starcraft 2 worked with its ladders in that there was the clear and visible portion and the hidden portion. That said since differences in leagues change the risk/reward for the players I'm fine with how it currently works. At most maybe they could tinker the exact gains/losses in certain situations a little.

Yorkshire Tea posted:If you're serious about going into more details, then I'd totally appreciate just a list of poo poo I needed to go with http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=tek&tekid=1&tversion=official&item=120 to make my own, including what kind of specs I'd need for the case. That link is the case. You just need to pick the Hitbox Layout - 8 Button option on the Top Panel. Hitbox uses 24mm buttons by default for everything except the jump button, which is 30mm. For everything else, it's completely up to you how you want the stick to look. He's got all sorts of color options for the plexiglass. I went pretty simple; everything is clear except a few mirror panels:    Brook has a universal board coming out soon that covers every console imaginable: http://arcadeshock.com/products/brook-universal-fighting-board-ps3-ps4-xbox-360-xbox-one-pc They also have an older PS3/PS4 option available, but it doesn't have the nice screwdown terminals. You'd have to be willing to do some soldering: https://www.focusattack.com/brook-ps3-ps4-fight-board-pcba/ Those options would prevent the need to use a converter on PS4. However, if you don't mind the converters, you could use the older PS360+ that supports everything but PS4 (I don't count the 8-minute mode) and then buy a brook converter to go with it, but this adds a slight bit of annoyance having to carry the converter around as well. https://www.focusattack.com/akishop-ps360-multi-console-joystick-pcb/ https://www.focusattack.com/brook-super-converter-playstation-3-to-playstation-4-usb-adapter/ (and the converters are sold out quite a bit right now) The buttons are a little harder for me to give tips on, as a friend did the actual build of ours - his is a hitbox, mine a normal stick. He did custom wiring harnesses, so I can't give a quick link like the PCBs  (though he's saying it's as easy as crimping some connectors together, as long as you measure right)I will say that having the Neutrik connector is really nice, as if makes the cable nicely detachable.

Just got SF5. I don't even know what to say. I can be seen online with my in-game name and I can join their servers alright, but search for opponent never ever finds anyone, can't fight with any of my friends, nothing. Opened all ports, checked DMZ, etc. I have a pretty good ISP, and at least 3 other peer to peer games, never once had issues connecting to anyone or being reachable. Did I just buy a loving potato.

apple posted:My main problems with it are: Eh, I'm not so sure about that one. Without actually having access to the data, I think it's reasonable to imagine that the very top tier of players need to be matched up with people that they will beat 9/10 times in order to get matches at a decent clip. Without being matched up with the same single other top player who happened to be online. Matchmaking may not be so hot but I wouldn't use that as criteria without more evidence

Sorry for the following derail. I love Red Letter Media and agree with their opinions most of the time; their poo poo is funny. But their Man of Steel review really just echoes the same criticism that perpetuates the myopic view of "Not-My-Superman" that almost everyone who didn't like the film falls towards. It doesn't come off as criticism really, it comes off more as bitching and complaining. Just because Man of Steel didn't depict their ideal version of the character doesn't make it a bad or terrible film, but most reviewers can't seem to get past that and call bullshit because Clark apparently has no regard for human life in the movie. teagone fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Mar 5, 2016 |

Lost a few in a row after my success earlier and was trying to claw my way back up to Ultra Bronze. It was going pretty well, and then I was about thirty points away from the rank up and I came up against a Zangief on a 6 fight win streak. It was a sloppy-rear end fight, from both of our sides. I tried to dp and got super (which happens to me with alarming frequency) on one of his jump-ins and lost the first round, then won the second by the skin of my teeth. Despite it being sloppy as hell with counterhits and bad pokes everywhere, I was having fun. I managed to bait out his super, neutral jump it, and land into a combo that I proceeded to gently caress up. Then he panicked and tried to combo and he hosed up. Then I landed a combo and actually won. Then he ragequit. Then I lost three games in a row. This is the first time a ragequit actually made me a bit angry. I hope they actually come up with something decent. Treating it the same as a loss seems obvious, but maybe it's hard to tell who lost connection first or something, although you'd think it'd be easy what with everybody being connected to their lovely servers at all times.
