I unlocked the Blair Dame costume. On the one hand it's lame as hell that they didn't give her Blair's hair style. However the costume code is Blair's old SFEX look. So essentially getting two costumes instead of one.

I like the costume. Nothing spectacular and the lack of hair change is wack, but whatever.

[Hecatom]

Finally fixed my lolbox one, i had to change the hdmi port. 

 

So in theory i could jump into the next ki matches. 

 

The only problem would be that i am immensely ass on the game, since i have only played it like 3 times.

Yeah I don't get it. You look at what they did with Ryu/Kairi and Karin/Hokuto and then Cammy doesn't get Blair's hair. I mean the costumes themselves, both FEXL and SFEX, are well made but the hair situation dulls the impact.

[Doctrine_Dark]

So the update added a win streak bonus for those below Diamond.

 

Acquiring League Points

- A win-streak bonus has been added to Ranked Matches, allowing players to reach ranks better suited to their skill level faster.

For leagues from Rookie to Ultra Platinum, winning 6 or more matches in a row increases the number of League Points (LP) you earn.
Continuing to increase your win streak after 6 matches will slowly increase your LP rate. Once you reach 15 wins in a row, the rate will remain fixed. If your win streak ends or you reach the Diamond rank, your LP rate will return to normal.

- This change does not apply to the Diamond League or higher.
- The losing player's LP rate is not affected.
- If your opponent disconnects from a match, your win streak will not be reset.
- If you disconnect from a match, your win streak will be reset.

Don't let that dissuade you. 

 

It has been so long since I played that I can't even hit a basic opener-linker-ender combo. Lots of mashing and drops.

 

Not exactly a shark tank situation.

Looks like Capcom wants to release SF6 on every console. Interesting.

Good. Having SF5 as a PS4 exclusive game was a horrible idea to begin with. Hopefully Capcom learned from this and stick with it.  

[GetTheTables]

Why not right? More SKUs = more $$$. And if you're going to get a FG green lit, more $$$ sure is gonna help that pitch.

 

My understanding always was that SFV only ended up exclusive because Sony ponied up for it. If they didn't feel like doing that this time, or hell maybe even if MS came back waggling money saying "keep it multiplat plz", no reason not to release it on everything.

 

More FGs need to come out on more platforms anyways, with crossplay support. The genre is already niche enough to not have it be siloed off further.

[Vhozite]

Y’all clown Xbox but I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for free games on Xbox live 🙂

[Doctrine_Dark]

It's sensible for Capcom to want to get the game out to as many people as possible. No issue with this decision. This is much better than doing another exclusive deal.

Just to generally comment, no hate on Xbox here. The Xbox1 was a goofy console but got there eventually and the 360 has some of my absolute fondest gaming memories outside of the SNES.

 

Only reason I ended up going deep into Sony's pockets was that I lost the XBox1X in the divorce. And then I bought a PC so buying another Xbox didn't make much sense.

 

From a value for money standpoint, it is real, real hard to beat Xbox + Gamepass. The main reason I'm buying a PS5 eventually is because it'll inevitably end up with some weeb games I can't get anywhere else (though with PC ports even that may finally taper off.)

[Vhozite]

Yeah when I was a kid Gundam games were like 50% of the reason I had a PS2. In fact I think I only knew like one person with the OG Xbox. Everyone had a PS2.

 

Shit changed during the next gen tho. At least in my area 360 got way more popular, and all my friends had it so that’s what I got. 
 

Knew a lot of people who downloaded free SF4 AE, but I was the only one who stuck with it. Everyone else went back to COD and shit 😕

They have that Monster Hunter money now. They don't need Sony's cash.

[GetTheTables]

That last line in Vhozite's post is the eternal FG struggle.

 

I think it is actually really easy to get people interested in FGs. There is so much variety that any taste can be filled, and it is a genre defined by "doing sick shit" so watching it naturally generates excitement. The hard part is getting past that initial hump. A lot of potential fans attrition off there and just go back to whatever they are used to (which is understandable but kind of unfortunate).

 

Same thing kinda happened with my friend group. My buddy and I sort of got into Tekken but eventually he just got too frustrated and dropped it. I might actually be able to keep up with T7 if we had stuck with it (this was around T5 if I remember right).

[Dayaan]

Not sure I posted this here, but a lot of good stuff has randomly started happening recently and this is coming out of a long period of pretty low points in my life. I expect it to go back to the way it was, but no point in wallowing during the good times, so I'll share it here too in the most obnoxious way possible. Please bare with me for the next few days.

 

 

[Shakunetsu]

I still hoping someone would find an arcade version of Capcom All-Stars

 

and a also proto SF2 remake from the early 2k if there was.

 

 

I have the feeling SF6 could be re-titled and changed because of this.

We need a ninja to sneak into Capcom HQ and find the secret room holding this game.

 

While at it, they need to find the data that has the completed version of Doctor Octopus that was scrapped for MVC3. Remember, they had official art, a theme, and an actual character model for Doc Ock before scrapping him. I'm still mad we never got to see him.

So many wasted assets  that could have been added in rerelease in compilation. Modders would be happy to work with those stale resources.

Everyone is interested in FGs until they get to the first real hurdle.
 

My best friend loves MK and he used to wash me like 19-1 in X. I got into the series in 11, which he also has. Last time we played earlier this year I think and I was dunking on him even after being like a year out of practice. I don’t mean that as a flex, but my fundamentals were just that much better than his, and it was clear he wasn’t having fun so we played something else. 
 

Mind you this dude is hardcore at every other game he/we play. I was watching his COD sniping montage and it looked like he was aim botting on a controller. But for some reason he won’t make the leap for FGs. It’s frustrating because I know he’d be a killer. 
 

But nah it just plays out the same way. You try to get someone into a game or help them level up and they never put in the effort. Wish I could figure out the solution so I could have irl friends to play my favorite games with. 
 

Edit: Niggas will develop whole strategies for fucking Among Us but won’t lab 2 mins to to beat jump>sweep.

I have many friends like that.

 

The reality is that many games demand a level of upfront investment to reap the rewards of playing them. Fighting games are pretty heavy on that front.

 

Even then many people just don’t want to put in any effort for what is effectively entertainment. I mean I know someone who won’t play Doom 2016 or Nier automata because he dies on the first battle and doesn’t want to restart. That attitude is very common, and is why games can be so hand-holdy.

 

In my experience the best way to get people over those humps is with a coop mode... however I don’t know how you implement that in a fighting game.

 

 

[Sonero]

Unless there's cross-platform stuff, multiconsole stuff just sucks. Doesnt really matter that it has multiple releases, one will become standard and that'll be that.

 

So, 🤷‍♂️

[Mr.Cipher]

Pertho got a point.

Unless SFVI is crossplattform it will just seperate the playerbase again. The one thing SFV did good was to unite the playerbase.

I think we will see it by this year. The goal is undoubtedly to get the game out early in the gen.

Based on the SFV Roadmap. 2022 at the earliest. The last DLC drops for SFV this time next year. Honestly they usually run the final balance patch for whole CPT season. So 2023 is probably more likely.

[Jocelot]

You guys really think they'd announce a SF Vy that early, huh? I guess I'd figured they'd cool down a bit after the game's final season, y'know? Let it settle before announcing a whole new game.

I heard they ran out of budget and the anime ended up getting the ending it did. I don’t know how bad it was exactly, never watched it.

$10 (in whatever game currency you want) says they don’t announce shit on SF6 this year

I don't see them announcing the game until it's less than a year from release. Once it's announced their SFV DLC sales will evaporate.

Sure but we must clear 2 things up:

by this year I meant 2021 (that wasn’t super clear)
 

we need to define what will constitute an announcement. I vote any official acknowledgement of the game’s existence (the leak doesn’t count).

[Sonero]

SF6 announcent might be a good way to boost sales of 5. Announce 6, offer up a discount on 5 and ride it.

 

Only problem is that last character. If they announce SF6 for 2022, last character is gonna get the least amount of play ever.

This is the same company that dropped SFV while SFIV Ultra still had momentum. Or at least that is how I remember it, could be forgetting in my dotage.

 

The other thing to me is that SFV has already had a helluva long tail. There isn't a great reason to sit on/pad out the release of SFVI - which theoretically is a whole new revenue boom if they don't fuck the football - just to eke out a bit more from the saggy teat of SFV. Let the final season or whatever give them the time they need to get 6 right then roll that motherfucker out.

Boyyyy what we still in 2020. I want my easy $10 🤣

 

I think they’ll announce in December 2021 or January 2022.

My guess is it gets announced at December 2021 Capcom cup, or some other smaller event later in 2021.

 

I suppose it could be at E3, but given the way E3 is nowadays I kind of doubt it

[Jocelot]

Honestly anything is possible at this point. I thought for sure Gill and Seth wouldn't be coming to SFV and look at me now

[FlyingVe]

Yeah I didn’t believe that either.

 

Gotta hold that L.

[Shakunetsu]

Any thoughts that this ransomware could cause more delay for SF6?

[GetTheTables]

They need to keep the game alive long enough for Viper to show up. I'll fire up this godforsaken game just to play her. 

 

Maaaaaybe that mystery slot but I figure it'll be someone that will generate more of a pop.

Why tho?

SFVs Rollback is perfect according to the Steam forums. All that is wrong with the Netcode is on your end.

 

There is no reason not to take it 1:1 over into SFVI.

Not that that excuse for a shitty ass Netcode would anyone reconsider their game choice.

[BornWinner]

I wonder if the CFN will make a return to SF6. Has it been known to cause any problems with SF5? I don’t pay attention.

I'm sure the CFN will return. I doubt they'd create such a huge system and only have it accessible in SFV.

Isn't that huge system really janky and mostly put together by a single person?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they totally redo it for a future SF6.

[GetTheTables]

CFN is definitely one of the niftier things to come out of SFV's life. I'm part of the tinfoil hat crew that thinks that it adds to some of the online issues though so like all the online this time round I'd really like to see significant revisions in implementation. Not exactly a novel sentiment though. 😁
