It's probably just me, not sure if it really bothers anybody else, but I really don't like that I have to wait so much for the next match to start. I am not blaming it on the matchmaking though, but on the ridiculous load times. There's mods out there for the PC version that remove, for example, that long, white screen that as it has turned out by now does not actually load anything but is just there for show, meanwhile I am on PS4 and have to wait SO long until I can get into a match again. It makes the grind really tedious and I find myself just giving up when I lose instead of getting back up again because I don't like being stuck in endless waiting.

In USF4, which I played a few days ago, everything went A LOT faster. Just get on ranked, find a player, pick character and stage, you either win or lose and then you press ranked again and you can almost play all the time with zero waiting.

Now I am not an idiot. I can't magically "wish" for the matchmaking or everything to go faster or expect Capcom to make it faster or anything, but I am sure there's ways for them to reduce how long it takes to get back into a match. Removing or shortening that long intro before each fight is a start (the one where the characters and rank is shown)

Sorry if I look like a whiny bitch right now but it kind of bugs me that I could've actually played a lot more instead of waiting and it's kind of weird that that was the case in USF4. This is not your typical "i hate SFV" thread either by the way, I adore SFV and I am playing since release and while I see it's flaws, I enjoy playing it.

Is there a chance that AE might change this? I have never played SF4 or SSF4, was it like this in those two as well before USF4 got it right? Would be a case of "SFV is just a year old" again then, which I would understand.

Looks like we fight Balrog in SF1 arcade mode path. But why? Is Capcom admitting that Balrog and Mike are the same person?

*wild theory* Thinking they might announce a beta week-end soon

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 06:50 AM PST

I normally don't post these, but here goes. Capcom announced this morning that Monster World Hunter would have an open beta for PS Plus members during PSX. Furthermore, today is also the day they're showing a version of AE to the world... Considering it's been known that they were working on a new Beta client on Steam last week, I've been thinking a barebone version of AE (with 2nd v-triggers, but with no extra character) might be playable this week-end or soon.

Obviously this is all speculation, but it would sure be nifty.

have you ever been "downloaded"?

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 08:40 AM PST

how many times have you played a set with someone where you easily beat them on the first match but then they proceed to destroy you on the remaining matches?

Frame Data V (FDV) is ready for Capcom Cup 2017! Big update with over 200 changes!

Posted: 03 Dec 2017 12:34 PM PST

Hey everyone, here with another development update! This time, an important app update with roster-wide correction of data.

Frame Data V (FDV) is used by esports professionals worldwide, with many EVO champions and/or Capcom Cup 2017 contestants, and I'm deeply humbled by your support. My job is to help players make informed decisions in a competitive game that is so fast-paced in its design. To me, this means that it's extremely important to provide the most accurate frame data.

SFV patches have had a great deal of "hidden" (undocumented or indirect) frame data changes. With the help of a good friend from Japan (who wishes to remain anonymous), every move in SFV has been revisited and corrected in FDV where needed. In addition, lots of invincibility frames (including armor, airborne and nullifying boxes) have been added.

The latest update is out now on both Android and iOS! Enjoy, and have fun at/with Capcom Cup 2017!

Most Underrated Characters

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 12:54 AM PST

I asked this about three months ago and really liked the discussion that followed. I'm wondering as we close out S2 who ya'll think is still underrated and if you care to explain why you think so. So here goes:

1) Chun - she's still a powerhouse in neutral even w/ her 5hp nerf. She's got a short but extremely oppressive v-trigger that while it doesn't add burst damage it gives her lots of options for intense pressure and enhanced normals in general.

2) Juri - hear me out - one of very few characters (off the top of my head) who's got a jab AND short 3 framer - a DP (kind of a poor man's DP - but a DP nonetheless), great walk speed that is a huge asset in itself in a game that revolves around a shimmy vs throw meta, a full-screen anti-fireball/whiff punish in her charged vskill.

Who do you think is underrated at the end of s2?

Which street fighter character would you like to spend time with, and have a drink with. I think personally, I would like to have a drink with E.Honda. I think he would have so many good stories to tell, and also be a good drinking partner.

Any chance of Capcom showing us today if they did any changes at all to Survival Mode? Lets everybody ask them during the stream of Arcade Mode.

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 05:22 AM PST

I just want to know if they touched Survival mode, like adding Season 1 and Season 2 characters in it, and adding more buff or even making it to be less battles. And have the AI using alt. costumes. I don't want to see them playing it. I just want to know if they're fixing Survival mode finally after 2 years.

More legacy characters or more new characters for Season 3?
