It is going to loving curb stomp SFV too. It will be better in every way and that's the sad part. Capcom is poo poo.

It probably won't be better at all really but they'll put millions of dollars into marketing and tournament pools so people will come looking to win money.

It doesn't matter how many active players a game has if you are willing to do the incredibly small amount of work in looking up discord servers or steam groups where you can find matches. Playing an extended set is a lot more fun than playing best of 1s one after the other.

Also practically everything worth playing has a replay system (fightcade, xrd, others) so even if you get totally stomped you can go back and analyze what you were doing wrong. The only way you won't learn anything is by throwing your hands up in the air and saying "there's nothing I can do!"

If I wanted to do an incredibly small amount of work, I'd go outside instead of playing video games with nerds!!!

Edit: here's an idea to make playing online less like playing againsy robots that will never happen because pc fgs are still an afterthought: built in irc channels for lobbies "guilds"

Diabetes, you are not invited to my pizza party.
I watched a video of someone breaking down Juri (red something?) and man am I bummed out.

My favorite things about her 4 were, in order, storing fireballs and frustrating zangiefs, dive kicks, and the counter move.

Her v skill does seem pretty exciting. Being able to cancel the 2nd stage and store it for later seems pretty cool.

I'll definitely take some time to try and figure her out, but I'm glad I decided to try Chun LI this game.

Basically Juri will only be able to be purchased with Fight Money in Europe until August 1 due to Capcom Fuckups™.

Pomp posted:

My experience with that wall was like three years ago. I remember making a lot of bad posts about "bad matchmaking." I was frustrated. I have local players that I still have taken single digit sets off of. I am still frustrated. There's a large gap between frustrated and outright avoiding games because there are no other new players so he can't "minimize his interactions" with "the people who really want to win above all else." Less than a year ago this dude and other people who think like that wouldn't have any game to play. He's not wrong that fgs could do a lot better in teaching players why they are losing, but outright dismissing stuff because you can't eke out a win against someone who's as lost and confused as you are shows you don't actually care about learning in the first place.

Also he brought up his age which made me laugh because guilty gear is a loving oldman game.

To be fair, i think for some starting players is more about playing people on their level than winning. When they feel close to a win they feel better, they can visually see progress easier.

I love gg, but for a new person to fgs' its a steamrolled kinda game where if you can't tell whats you're doing wrong fast nothing will change.

I never played it as someone entirely new to fighting games.

And online being slightly above button mashing is fair but its not at all uncommon for me, (especially later in xrd) to bump into people I saw in top 8's on streams.

They tend to be some of the few willing to stick around for sets if they aren't insta bored of you

I actually dislike the discord age so far but I'll adjust. I liked just googling and finding forums with people slowly discussing a character. It just felt much more low maintenance, and usually made me at least look stuff up about other characters but for games like BB and GG dustloop was so incredibly lovely that anything is an improvement.

All the arcade talk is cool but lets not pretend its a thriving industry in america.

Consoles and pc wrecked house on arcades and the ones left are either the city's one space for fighting games or just a place that happens to have some game set-ups along with tables for magic the gathering or whatever card games people play now.

A persons first reaction when playing sf against some online people and friends isn't going to be "well i better seek out my community of fighting games players, let me travel for a few miles and pay to play the game i bought"
it's a fair deduction but not necessarily expected.




Also wow I thought I'd care alot more about juri, but I can't be bothered with playing the game enough for fight money and i'm drat sure not giving capcom anymore cash for sf5.
