Going back to the DOTA v. Street Fighter, when it comes to fighting games and MOBAs there's just a different level of investment and competitive vibe altogether.

In a MOBA, teams in anything past a qualifying round play in a soundproof booth with screens flashing the hero they're playing at the center of a sold-out soccer stadium with a jumbotron broadcasting the game, and when you win they give you a solid metal trophy heavier than the Stanley Cup and a giant novelty check for two million dollars.

In a fighting game, you can attain world champion status sitting in a folding chair close enough to the other guy to smell his B.O.

Gotta get some of those head to head arcade cabinets like SBO used to do and stuff a console or PC in there. Get some theatrics going.

Alright so why doesn't this game just use straight chess Elo? I don't get why it uses this bizarro sorta-Elo tier system instead of just chess Elo, or having two Elo (player and character) and combining the two to matchmake.

Do we have to redownload the entire game every patch? Capcom knows delta patching is a thing that steam and PSN supports right?

I'm not sure there's too much "knowing" or "thinking" going on over at the capcom dev studios

It still sold over a million copies though right? Or is it that a lot of those people who bought it gave up on it already?

At any one time there are more people watching a single not even top 3 random DOTA/LOL/CSGO/Minecraft/Hearthstone/Stardew Valley/Whatever streamer sitting in their apartment playing the game than total viewers for SF5.

If I was offered a refund for SFV at this point I would probably take it without needing to think about it.

I like the core gameplay of the game a lot, but holy poo poo did they mess everything else up. I didn't pay full price for the game either and I'm still so disappointed in how bad half this poo poo up. I just want to actually play SF5 against people and have fun :argh:

It will if you have friends. It will also solve a lot of the online problems... but that's it.

If I had friends that wanted to play fighting games a lot I'd just be playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 on GGPO with them :11tea:

Twitch viewers is my favourite metric about games. There are more people watching Overwatch replays on Twitch than there are people watching SF5.

will capcom ever make the money I spent on the Season Pass worth it? inquiring minds want to know!

People who bought the game on sale are wondering the same thing, don't think you have much hope there, season pass guy
