Capcom made it clear that you're only gonna need to own 1 game from now on. The problem with dropping PS4 support is they will have to break that promise since PS4 players will be forced to buy the game again on another system.

Not if the game provides a free upgrade to the PS5 version

[-PVL93-]

The SF2 naming convention is insanely confusing and thankfully Capcom steered clear from that mess with later installments in the series, especially V (and hopefully 6)

 

Cuz my god, how do you from 

Street Fighter II

to Champion Edition 

to Turbo 

to Super Street Fighter II

to Super Street Fighter II Turbo 

to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix 

to Ultra Street Fighter II

 

It's confusing as Champ Edition and Turbo don't immediately make it clear which one is newer (unless you're in the know), then Super doesn't have Turbo in its name anymore, but later there's another revision *with Turbo*

Is PlayStation about to cuck the fgc for another decade?

Given how much of the FGC has been adopting PC as their platform of choice it won't be a cucking this time. Will likely see a split between the two.

This is not surprising. Because of how fucked the certifications are, a company slap HDMI 2.1 on their display if they meet just one of the requirements.

 

 

There is a lot of fake HDMI 2.1 out there

Shout out to @EvilCanadianfor reigniting my interest in Marisa with his preview video. Actual information on what she can do vs 10 minutes of raw gladius and jump-ins.

 

 

Manon + Marisa is looking like the combo for me, but I’m still keeping an eye on Lily and Cammy at launch. Kinda looking to branch out from my usual style of play.

I noticed the screen tearing on my PS5 setup in 120hz. But it's barely noticeable.

 

Then again, if you don't want any tearing, playing in 60hz is fine as well, since the input delay is so low anyway.

How does SF6 perform on Series S? Due to its low price point compared to PC and the other two consoles I could see that being an alternative for some mid-size tournaments if the game runs well on the system (which it should considering it's cross-gen, but you never know).

There are two major problems running everything on XBSS vs PS5

 

1) the two systems might differ in input lag, though I think there's a setting in SF6 menus to artificially add some delay (like to simulate online) 

 

2) accessory compatibility. A lot of these sticks, hitboxes, game pads etc are certified officially for PlayStation systems while xbox kinda gets the short end of the stick, primarily because of how many fighting games released on PS4 only and never even as much as hinted at an xbox one version 

[Hawkingbird]

Xbox is a non starter. A couple of games skip it. Xbox didn't get Strive until this year. A fighter has a better chance being released on the switch than it does on Xbox

I've heard of FGC translated but today's the first time I've heard of FGC translated Alpha. Are the channels and content done by different people? 

 

 

 

 

Also, 22 more days to sf6. What games are you all playing in the meantime? Am playing Nioh 2 with my friends and it's been a blast. 

Edited May 10, 2023 by Edmund

I've been occupying my time with KOF15, Tekken 7, DNF, Streets of Rage 4, Capcom Fighting Collection, The Rumble Fish 2, and plenty of Mega Man X.

[Illwill88]

Bouncing between dead island 2, apex legends, and whatever random games I wanna try that are free on the ps+ premium tier or whatever it’s called.

I'm still doing runs on RE4R, need to finish up Tales of Arise and started playing Jack Move. I tried out Idol Showdown since it's free.

you need to turn VRR on to not have tearing at 120hz, but you need a hdmi 2.1 compatible monitor for that

The capcom trip really made it clear to me how different my "brand" is than everyone else's

 

Like, they said "hey heres some time with the game" and I went for something completely different than literally everyone else.

RE4R is just a godlike game! I enjoyed it so much. 

My friends took about 7 hours playtime to finish the game on normal but I took a whopping 27 hours and 33 minutes to finish the game lol. 

 

 

And I died like 70 over times!!

SF5’s namings are clean. But the SF2 naming conventions of super/ultra/turbo are the most iconic to me.

 

SF3 just had Third Strike that is exceptionally memorable.

 

2nd Impact was called “2nd Impact Giant Attack” in some arcades. Absolutely horrendous.

What else would you call a rampaging Hugo? 😏

It's run by the same person. I'm playing SFV, Crises Core Reunion, Megaman Battle Network Collection.

In a fun twist, your Honda vid made me want to get into him more. Same as you, played him since I was a brat at the arcades mashing, but the potential for bullshit in 6 feels... powerful.

I'm struggling to find games I want to play. I stare at my Steam list, and end up just talking shit to friends, every night. Tempted to restart Valkyria Chronicles 4, and it feels a slog to get back into DQXI.

 

Edit: I'm even tempted to start DOS2 again, and start BG3, even though that'll be out of early access in a few months. Decision paralysis is real.

I'm still playing SFV ranked and since SF6 is coming out soon, people are playing like they don't give a fuck 😅

 

Also, I played USF4 for the first time since 2016, and the game is actually harder than I remember.  How I was once able to hit these links in delay netcode is beyond me.

Wasn’t 2I like Sean’s game? IIRC Sean was running through characters. Maybe they should’ve called the game “2nd Impact: Please Notice Me, Ken!”

DisplayPort is the better standard. On most monitors DisplayPort is usually the more featured of the two ports, since HDMI tends to lag behind.  If you're lucky your monitor will be able to do it through DP.

He's playing on PS5 which doesn't have DP.

I was convinced these sticks would be omnicompatible. Can't believe they're still limited to one system even to this day.

 

As for input lag I think you should generally go with the platform that has the lowest one and not look at any other criteria, but I don't know if we have any info on that yet for SF6. Maybe there's parity between systems, would be welcome for a change.

 

But it's nuts how much of a foothold Xbox lost with their last system when you consider that Xbox360 was basically the standard across the board until SFxTekken came along with exclusive content.

Iirc SF6 is 2 frames apart between PS4 and ps5. Series S is more powerful than the former but weaker than the latter so it might land somewhere inbetween? I don't remember if noodals did testing for xbox

IMO Xrd coming exclusively to PS4 was when it was the beginning of the end of 360 dominance as the main competitive platform, then it only was settled further with Ultra and MKX. Ever since 2015-2016 xbox completely fell behind, not to mention pretty much all jp titles releasing only on PlayStation. Hell Tekken 7 ran at sub-HD resolution on xbox one and Namco never patched that version for one X or series X compatibility

Someone made an input lag chart using the demo. It's hardly conclusive.
