Part of the many things wrong with the netcode is that the lag is one-sided (since it doesn't balance it between the players), so it's easily possible that some of the matches you've had that felt fine to you were actually unplayable for your opponent

Yeah probably some. Not that many though judging from how often I get my rear end handed to me.

I feel like even if you only hung out with Gootecks every six months, he'd still not offer to pay for anything and mooch off of you.

I seriously doubt it. He so desperately wants to be seen as successful and important that he'll break the bank to prove that his life is amazing constant fun. Plus once he blows up on you/tiny Korean child for looking behind the curtain/running into the camera, you don't feel as bad because he was always a dick.

I had Gooteks in my pools for FR. He seemed super frustrated and like he didn't want to be there. Admittedly from what I heard, he got sent to losers on BS but who knows. I spent that pool talking to GeoffTheHero who was a pretty chill dude.

I'm never one to kill the messenger, but stuff like this can get frustrating. "At some point maybe soon we will say *something regarding the future update."

*said something may not be important or helpful in any meaningful way, or it could be a loosely tied-in Alex trailer with release date.

By now they can drop the whole "thank you for your patience" line. Heard that enough during FFXIV 1.0 days.

For what it's worth, that appears to be the comedy Capcom UK site that posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiB3UFTH9CU

Regarding that bananaken video bebe posted earlier:

So I guess you could use an instant overhead in there for funsies? He mentions Dhalsim's fierce but it seems like you could do things like Necalli's j.lp. Specials might not be possible post-patch, but normals should still be.

Realistically no one is going to be playing IV anymore, but you should wait and see if the patch announcement makes the game look any better as a package.

Challenge mode doesn't really do anything for me, are they supposed to be adding arcade mode at some point? Going from 40+ characters to like, 14 is a bit off putting too

Things of note from the newspost:

- Zenny Shop still not ready to launch, so no real money purchases right now. No ETA on that either (lol).

- To make up for it, Alex is gonna be free for a limited amount of time, for everyone. That ends when they implement the Zenny Shop.

- Also we get Chun's and Ryu's story mode costumes for free til the 30th.

You can get the game for �25 if you shop around. Doesn't answer your question, but it's also not �45.

Hey everyone!

We have some exciting news to share today: the long awaited March update that contains Alex will be releasing next week in two separate drops. Hit the jump for more details!

The first drop will take place on March 28 (MON) and contains the following content:

Challenge Mode
Demonstrations: Learn the ins and outs of Street Fighter V through helpful demonstration and tutorial content. Contains content for each of the 16 characters, as well as advice geared towards players of all skill levels:
Beginner Tutorials: 12 lessons covering, movement, normal attacks, special attacks, V-System, throws, counter hits, chip/recoverable damage, etc.
Intermediate Tutorials: 11 lessons covering projectiles, invincibility frames, armor and armor break, recovery, cross-up attacks, anti-air options, etc.
Advanced Tutorials: 4 lessons covering back dashing, frame advantage/disadvantage, combo potential, button priority, etc.
Character Tutorials: 16 lessons covering each individual character.
Trials: Put your skills to the ultimate test with combo trials for all 16 characters, ranging from basic to pro combos. Completing Trials will also earn you some extra Fight Money.

Online Rematch Option
Salty from a close loss online? Want revenge? Players can now play a 2/3 set in Ranked Match and Casual Matches, provided both players accept the rematch.

Battle Lounge Improvements
Enjoy up to 8 person lobbies, complete with match spectating.
Bug fixes and gameplay balancing
Various game bugs have been fixed, along with minor gameplay balancing. For more details please see the previous post.

The second drop will take place on March 30 (WED) at 10AM PT and contains the following content:

Alex + related character story content

In-Game Shop
Fight Money Expenditure: Spend your hard earned Fight Money to purchase extra game content, such as DLC characters (100,000 FM each) and the Story Mode Costumes (40,000 FM each).

One feature that will not be making it into the March update will be the Zenny (real money) functionality of the in-game shop. We have taken a long hard look at this part of the store, and after much review, have decided it is not ready to launch just yet. As Zenny is purchased with real money, we wanted to be extra careful and make sure it�s fully tested and optimized before launching it. There is currently no ETA on the Zenny store and we will release it as soon as it�s ready.

We realize that this causes an inconvenience to fans who want to purchase the DLC characters, such as Alex, but do not have enough Fight Money or own the Season Pass. To address this, we will be making Alex available for free as a trial period to all players, until the Zenny shop launches. This also will apply to any future DLC character that releases prior to the Zenny shop launching. Once the Zenny shop launches, the free trial for any DLC characters that released prior to the Zenny shop opening will end, and players will need to either use Fight Money, Zenny, or the Season Pass to access those characters.

Any DLC character related content (such as costumes) that is purchased with Fight Money during the trial period will remain in your account once the trial period ends, but you�ll need to purchase Alex to use that content. The same goes for colors and character progress, etc. that are earned during the trial period; everything will be saved, you�ll just need to purchase the character to resume your progress once the trial period ends.

As a special bonus to our Season Pass users, they will be the only ones who will be able to access the premium costumes of the DLC characters until the Zenny shop launches, and they also get to keep character access once the free trial period ends. Additionally, we will be giving all Season Pass users a free, brand new stage in the near future!

Finally, as a way of saying thanks for everyone�s patience and understanding throughout the beta phases and game launch we will be making Ryu and Chun-Li�s story mode costumes available for free to all users on March 30 as well. This is an 80,000 Fight Money value, almost the full value of a DLC character.

Thank you for continuing to support Street Fighter V and we promise that the game will continue to improve from here on out. More new updates, fixes and support for other pressing issues like rage quitters are in the works and we hope to have more information to share soon.

I'm happy with free copChun, personally.

Well, they're releasing a new character per month, so if it takes them over a month to get the real money backend stuff sorted, Guile will also be out by then (and thus will also be free to play until they get the real money stuff in).

It's a pretty big fuckup financially on their part to not have the shop ready for real money, but if it means free trials for the first two, maybe three characters, that'd be fine by me.

Colorspray: Aug 30, 2007

huh. March update is weird. Pretty much everything they've shown should've been in day 1, and so will everything else they add in the future.

The way they describe it as FREE DLC reminds me of what they did with Monster Hunter 4U. Except, instead of unlocking quests/armor already on the cart, they are incorporating game modes/features and labeling that as FREE DLC.

It looks like they will be banking on the strategy of incorporating things you wanted in the first place as updates and calling that free. I'm not expecting monthly updates for this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did monthly updates that include things like arcade mode, online training, REAL story mode (already announced for June/July I think?), and the ability to rebind keyboard buttons on the PC version.

Not to defend Capcom, but they're referring to the feature updates as just that, updates. It's not misleading, it's them putting in stuff that was missing from the game. Also yeah, your last paragraph is a given.

It reminds me of Marvel Heroes launch in so many ways. It finally got on track months later and rebranded itself. I don't care what they say, if they don't relaunch in a year with a dlc bundle edition and new branding they are fools

Marvel heroes was fun as hell for a while though
