Yeah, the netcode is still bad. There's nothing close to like the fix Tekken managed.

The "fix" Tekken managed allowed better pings while making the game wildly more jitter-sensitive. It's a fix for playing with your buds, but if you play online or if you run tournaments with randos, it's not a fix at all.

Strive has that timer until the April release (which is like a loving death clock to me don't remind me of this wait) but if you go to like "..." then just... loving click it, it turns to "Launch Beta" by magic because PSN

Doesn't do this for me. I think they've just left Australia out. Thanks Sony.

I am not a machine. I feel and believe. I have opinions. Some of them are interesting. I could, if you would let me, talk and talk. Let us talk about anything.
Is there anyone who wants to play the strive beta tonight but doesn't/cant preorder? I have an extra press code I got today that I can give away.

It's not working out too well...

Besides the game itself being a lot less good in 2016, it also didn’t have arcade mode or story mode. It was basically just ranked/unranked online, offline versus, barebones training mode, and survival. It had 16 characters which is a good number, though

I remember the complaint was that it was bare-bones at release, but from the little I played, it seems like it's been fleshed out considerably, and I bought the Championship Edition, which comes with all the characters and costumes and whatnot.

I had been considering Ultra Street Fighter IV, but it sounded like the online for it was mostly dead, whereas SFV was still active, with it getting a new update soon (albeit a final one). I also recall that SF4 didn't have (or didn't seem to have) a lot in terms of single-player content.

Just play it and see if you like. Not much point in getting it if you're going to base your opinion on what a dead comedy forum says instead of your own experiences.

I was just thinking that I was still in the window for a refund, so I was wondering if maybe I'd be better off getting the $30 back. That said, the little of what I've played seems fine. I don't imagine I'm going to rise to the top of the leaderboards in online play, but I can still play through the arcade and story modes and have fun with it.

Yeah current SFV has plenty of content, would’ve probably been a big hit if it launched like this, at the very least with casuals.

USF4 of course won’t have many players anymore but I’m sure you’ll always find someone on discord willing to play. The single player content is really thin, basically just arcade mode from what I remember.

It feels like meter gain is pretty slow unless you are busting walls then you get a ton!

In both +R and Xrd I've told myself I'd learn May as a secondary, but I've never stuck to it because charge characters hurt my brain. But now that she only has like 4 specials in Strive, this might be the one where I actually commit to having a pocket May. 6H COUNTER hits look pretty satisfying.

Real hurthling! posted:

Yeah, wall break meter gain is crazy and I understand why forgoing corner pressure for it is incentivized now that I've seen footage. I think that's what Ramlethal's niche this time around is; just crazy meter gain all the time. It looks like she can get corner carry + wall break off of most confirms from most places on screen, and then always have access to at least 50 meter afterwards.

I saw someone RC her laser super from fullscreen for a tick throw mix to close a round, and not only did it look effective, but it was also very funny and made her look satisfying to play.

Having a easy to read life bar is much nicer than xrd where the bottom 10% had as much hp as the next 30% or whatever.

Also in stick news, I got an 8bitdo stick. For $89 I think it’s better stock than a quanba drone but it’s kind of annoying to replace parts. The screw holes are deep torx screws so I have to use a dedicated t10 driver to get them out. There are pads to solder on a 5 pin JLF harness but the stock wiring for the lever is just soldered on directly to the micro switches.

Other than that the quality is really good and it has a battery on the base for connecting to the switch or PC over Bluetooth or WiFi with an included adaptor so it has a very satisfying weight. The PCB is only for Switch and PC but overall I really like it.
Apparently you can just plug a 5 pin connector into the 8 pin and leave the last 3 pins bare, since they're just extra ground pins, so no need to solder

According to twitter, it looks like the entire SEA region may not be getting the beta at all, or there's a serious delay that no one at Bandai Namco is addressing.

K goes into Dust, and P can go into command normals and sometimes specials, but they sure feel vestigial not being able to get real combos off of them. The COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER shenanigans can get kind of :shrug:

The tekken fix isn’t great either, lots of people are experiencing random fps drops after the last patch, and a lot of people seem to think that the netcode itself also got a fair bit worse.

I started accepting wifi matches just because I can’t tell the difference between wifi and wired anymore, but this is not the ringing endorsement I wish it was


Tldr all fighting games are bad

Those people are crazy or on wifi. I went from playing people uk to france being a crapshoot, to playing people in the USA and Africa with no problem

Is anyone else experiencing "can't connect to network" for the GG Beta atm? My internet has been poo poo for like the past week, but I'm able to do a bunch of other stuff now online after resetting the modem for the 2nd time today.

Still can't connect to the Beta network though :shrug:
