I played and found a game in like 10 seconds, which has been the case for me since like forever so ymmv.

Queue times/general population size has been maybe the best thing about the game. Actually loading into the game that it quickly found has probably been the worst.

Just started playing this really late. No one on discord wants to play, but it's pretty fun to me.

Add me "angelopportunity" if you want to play. I'm in NE United States

You picked a hard time to jump in and find games given Tekken just came out and all. I'll play you sometime if you hit me up in discord.

I think most of the S2 new characters have been pretty decent, or at least more interesting than the rest of the lineup.

I played yesterday for the first time in a month or two and shithoused some Silver Abagail with my Ultra Bronze Karin and I felt like a complete bad rear end.

Karin owns and is fun to play.

The S2 DLC characters were all pretty fun and the new v-trigger stuff seems promising so I will probably will give it a shot

There is no bundle that includes stages and costumes and whatnot, right? The stuff on sale just unlocks characters from all the seasons and some colors?

So is this game worth getting now with the Arcade Edition update? I'm thinking of getting the PC version (don't have a PS4)

If you are looking for a modern SF game then it's fine and you can actually reasonably play offline now with the arcade modes. I think it's fun and have gotten my money out of it by this point.

I have a PC and good connection and the vast majority of my games are fine. Not to say that isn't the cause or that I don't occasionally have problems but the actual answer feels more complicated than that.

kolin is super good at keeping pressure

also her v-trigger 2 is legit insane and i love it

Yeah her VT2 makes her feel a lot better. I'm starting to get the hang of her but I don't know I keep picking characters with awful anti-air options.

Also it would be great if Capcom did matchmaking like Tekken, when if I am starting a new character I get lumped into queue with other people relatively new (or really bad) with their characters. Last night and today I was casual queuing with an apparent endless sea of level 50000 Ryu players for some reason. It would be more fun if I could learn Kolin against some guy who was learning Gief or something like that.

Complaints about 'all the characters are the same' or the 2P boob physics bug all stem from people probably not playing the game since 2016. I'm not saying it is a super great game or anything but come on.

I do think that the individual characters having an optimal button/combo with no reason to deviate is pretty valid. You can tell Capcom tried to address it somewhat with the new vtriggers but I think now there is just an optimal vtrigger to throw onto the min max pile. I'm not really sure what they can do at this stage to add combo variety.

So I have been playing Falke and she is very fun and good (kinda reminds me of Venom from GG, but nowhere near as complex or cool).

Based on my track record with this game, she is probably one of the worst characters in the game and I have picked another stinker right? :ohdear:

I don't know anything about Falke but if she is fun to you play her :)

If she sucks then she won't get used much and you'll probably win a bunch just on lack of familiarity in the normal skill mm queue.

The ad placement stuff is so bad that it almost feels like accidental elaborate social commentary on the Ills of Capitalism or something. I'm curious to see if they actually get a real sponsor so that we can see done McDonalds logos on Dhalsim's skulls.

SFV still manages to almost always find me game within seconds of queueing, which no other FG that I have manages to do. Seems like a lot of people still play it.

So is Capcom pretty much done working on this game? The only thing I've seen from E3 is a new stage, which makes me guess they are done making characters for it. I'm out of the loop so maybe I missed something.

I probably liked this game more than most people but do sort of hope they bury it at this point and start something new.

I think the newer characters are more fun that a lot of the initial ones but if you can get the base game for cheap then do that and see if you like it.

The 30th anniversary pack also goes on sale pretty often so you could just play that.

I don't know much about Cody so someone else can hopefully help you there, but as a general rule of thumb you can punish whiffed DP using a crush combo which can then end on a super if you have meter

This is from a random YT search for Cody's crush counters (meaning I don't know if they all still work or whatever)

Yeah you should be out of Bronze pretty soon once you get a few combos down and learn to punish stuff. For reference my old PC account was usually low Silver or Super Bronze but I also had not played in like six+ months so I am certainly not a good measuring stick.
