I think since they ran ads on tv and shipped Ono to any media outlet they could think of they thought the game was ready for everyone, not just competitive players.

I'm one of the biggest proponents of this game, but even I thought not giving an Alex teaser and instead trolling the FGC at the end of Final Round was horrible move.

Fair enough. Haunts' should've really have known better, I was just a bit surprised by the backlash especially on the SF subreddit that's generally got Capcom's back no matter what.

I know they wanted a nice bump in their end of year reports but I wonder how much better the game would've been received if Capcom released it in March or at least went with a digital only Feb early access release.

Has there been a F2P model for fighting games that hasn't been garbage yet

They really should've gone for a Tekken/SoulCalibur style character customisation system to maximise F2P cash. People love hats and pretty dresses and would probably pay for it.

I want a new stage without having to buy the season pass for it. I mean like, how will that even play online? Will people who don't own it still end up fighting on the new stage online if someone else owns it? Will it be purchasable on the store with MY FIGHT MONEEEEEY? I need answers Capcom.

What's the chances this stage is just a variation of the existing ones? Like Kanzuki Estate during the day or something.

tbh i dont mind the little story thingies for each character (i even like them conceptually), i just wish the fights in them had something else going on and the art wasnt made in 10 seconds. they make way way way more sense than an arcade mode for stories. there should have been a separate arcade mode tho (with something else going on at the beginning/ending)

I'd honestly be okay with a Virtua Fighter style arcade mode with no intro and the ending is just replays from your matches with the credits rolling. It'd also be cool if you had to beat up giant letters to enter your name for the high score list but that's a bit much.

What I dont get is ragequitting in Casuals or Lobbies. I mean I get why they do it usually because winning too much or losing too much (or obviously lag.) But what's the point? Isn't non-ranked just practice? It happens so much I'm starting to think it's more like a trend than a coincidence.

I go into lobbies for the sole purpose of getting my rear end handed to me repeatedly over long periods of time. It's a huge inconvenience!

Yeah, but what if Daigo looks at their profile and checks a replay and sees them losing? He'll think they are a scrub.

(Do casual and lobby replays get saved? I never bothered with that much because the whole process of having to add a replay to your favourites to watch it is really dumb.)

With vsync, doesnt the PC and PS4 version still have different input lag? Maybe he simply got it down perfectly in PC conditions but PS4 isnt quite the same?

According to displaylag.com the PS4 version has 122ms of lag and according to that graphic that was going around earlier this week the PC version has 133ms of lag. Different people doing the tests and maybe using different methods so I'm not sure how seriously you should take that comparison but it seems pretty similar.

There's a new pak file called pakchunk15-WindowsNoEditor.pak (pakchunk0 to pakchunk14 contain the base 16 characters) so I'm thinking Alex's files are there but he'll only be unlocked on the 30th.

It's from the same guy that made the Q mod. He's PFunk on the SFxT mod forum. He's good.

So why are they saving Alex until the 30th anyway? His files are there and everyone's getting him anyway.

Edit: There's a mod on Reddit to play Alex early. Is Capcom banning people for doing this? Is there a way to just stay offline?

These work by replacing another character (I think FANG because lolFANG) with Alex so definitely don't take it online.

Either pull out your ethernet cable or block the game in your firewall.

So unlocking colors through survival was impossible and tedious (per costume even) and naturally this was a setup to funnel money out of the economy, right?

Apparently not, new colors will be available for purchase, but not colors 3-10. Maybe they'll be available when the Zenny store opens (though it's already beyond dumb that it isn't opening for an indeterminate amount of time) but for now you'll have to be on PC and use the trainer to unlock the colors in any reasonable way.

I find it a little weird they're charging money (real or fake) for what is essentially a color overlay. It's not even a different texture.

Things about Laura that suck:

Body doesn't really match her design background of lean mean UFC machine.

The only bad thing about Laura is that "Ding ding, I took this round!" line when you win a round. It's awful.

Everything else is objectively great.

Edit: For people on PC that want colours, you could just hexedit a couple of files and make survival only last 1 fight you know? Hell, I could make it for you if that wouldn't get me in trouble around here.

It makes medium and hard survival last 1 fight, easy is easy enough as is so I just left it. I'd recommend using this offline in case you get banned. I highly doubt that will happen but you never know I guess.

Does anybody have the SFV guide handy? The google doc I have bookmarked shows Necalli's s.HP and cr.HP as 9 frames of startup for each, just wondering if that's accurate. Trying to work out punishes for Alex moves and if the 9 frames is right then Dantarion's got a mistake or two in his alex data.

Yup, Prima guide says it's 9f.

This game should have TF2 style stats that show up when you lose a game. "You lost but you antiaired 5 jump-ins this match, a new record!" or "You tech'd 3 throws! That's close to your record of 4!"

poo poo like that would probably make new players stick around more.

Just checked and sadly the trainer does not work :smith:

I'm surprised capcom patched it to fix it as they're incompetent at everything else.
I'd imagine it was a coincidence and it probably doesn't work because of a number or something changed in the game from 1.01 to 1.02

Hopefully a new version will be out for color farming soon.

It's not really Capcom patching out the trainer, it's just that they're made for specific versions of a game and updates usually break them. It'll be updated soon probably.

Otherwise, use this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=458045118
