deadly_pudding posted:Quick aside from shop: It works fine as long as you set a filter to only get matched with opponents with good ping, and crossplay with ps4 players has no problems outside of the ps4 version having slightly longer load times so unlike other pc fighting games you don't have to worry about it becoming a wasteland.

Nostalgia4Ass posted:I haven't played a fighter game more than super casually since Street Fighter II was big in arcades and on SNES. I am very very very bad at these games. If I buy this and lose enough times, can I reasonably expect to eventually find opponents equally as bad? I have a PS4 controller that I use for both my PS4 and my PC. Does one system have an advantage over the other? The crossplay really adds to the size of the player pool, so it's your best option for the genre if you want to fight other bads

Nostalgia4Ass posted:It's highly unlikely I would every be matched up with anyone outside of Japan because of my lovely ping back to the US right? I imagine fighting games are pretty sensitive to connection speeds. As long as you make sure to set your connection rating before queuing, yeah. If you keep it as "any" you could get matched with anyone anywhere in the world

man nurse posted:I mean the bad news is that now that I've exhausted the story stuff and most of the do-able survival runs, all that's leftover is the 50 you get per online win. Not counting whatever challenge mode and the story proper will give you, but. I figure unlocking half of the season pass characters and shelling out for the remaining three is a bit more agreeable than plunking down $30. iirc they also mentioned something about daily missions or something along those lines? So yet another source of fight money. It's really weird how easy they're making it

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.

fozzy fosbourne posted: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. It's a problem that every competitive game sees at the extreme ends of the ladder and it all boils down to the developer in question having to find the right balance between getting fair matches vs actually getting to play a match in a reasonable amount of time.

Smirking_Serpent posted:What do you guys think the player base is going to be like? I know that sales weren't outstanding but do you think the different additions will pick things back up? Do we know how the active population compares to its competitors? I've still got so much to learn and I don't want all the other casuals to abandon the game too early. Even without Street Fighter's popularity the cross platform play will give it a huge advantage over other games wrt player pool size

teagone posted:You're right, continue the parade of bitching because it'll surely fix the problem if you do it a thousand times.. Everything works fine on my end, mostly. The one issue I've been having is a weird FPS dip on the win/lose/celebration screen and during Gief's super animation. I have a decent enough rig that I don't get any FPS drops on the former but it has a noticeable dip with the latter. Geif's super is too powerful to be contained by just any ol video card

Koldenblue posted:So how long do people think it'll be before this goes on sale? Did SFIV, or Capcom's games in general, take a long time to go on sale? I hear at least they're only ever going to release a single physical version of this, and then all future content is just downloaded, thank god. If you're looking at the PC version then it will be sooner rather than later since PC game prices are in a funky place right now that really benefits the user if you buy from sites outside of Steam fozzy fosbourne posted:Dragon's Dogemas also is pure win, but won't have any sequels and didn't make any money For what it's worth Capcom has straight up said that the PC port they put out recently has been their best selling PC port to date

They never, ever attempted any sort of competitive mode until very recently and even then it's only because of Overwatch. Overwatch meanwhile is all about finding matches and getting games done instead of joking around.

My favorite thing about Overwatch matches overall tho is that matches end far, far, far soon than TF2 matches. No endless stalemates that drag on forever, and thank god for that.teagone posted:I don't think Overwatch will pull in the number of viewers Counter-Strike does. That'd be cool if it did, because I'm really looking forward to the game and want it to be popular. But I've watched a handful of competitive Overwatch tourneys and they were just ok. They weren't like super fun to watch, but I guess maybe that's because I haven't actually had a chance to play it. Counter-Strike though... almost a decade and half later and I'm still watching pro matches. I wish I could play CS as much as I did when I was younger. Being an adult sucks sometimes. I just want to play muh videogamez. I don't think any shooter is gonna be able to replicate CS:GO's success anytime soon. It had a very unusual surge in popularity at some point down the line after an okay launch and it just exploded and kept growing.

Baal posted:How They sell a compendium, which gives you a lot of stuff for like 10 bux (Or more if you want extra goodies but the cheapest version still gives out a lot of stuff) And a portion of that money goes into the prize pool. And as more money goes into the prize pool, it's like Kickstarter stretch goals, every owner will get more and more stuff. Most of it consists of hats and other cosmetics but there's also a bunch of stuff that helps get the community invested in the pro scene; for the tournament you can do stuff like predict what teams will be at the top, game stats, etc, and you get rewards for guessing correctly. It would be really simple to adapt that sort of thing for fighting games in a way that could get people who don't give a poo poo about tournaments to suddenly care. I mean heck, how many people only care about March Madness because of their brackets?

I think it'd be cool if someone tried it on a small scale to test the waters Something like hey here's a $5 skin (or maybe even less!) and the proceeds go to this prize pool, that sorta thing
