I feel you.
it's still not out of the question that they might do some kind big marquee patch annually or something, with more more exhaustive changes, bug fixes, new online modes, new DLC stuff, and maybe 2 chars instead of 1?
i doubt the hurdles would be worth the marginal interesting in something like that. that kind of trading doesn't make sense without super luxury items being on the line.
People are talking about the possibility of wagering their ingame currency in online matches adding a new dimension to online play.
MMOs for years have had goldsellers, they play the game for 14+ hours a day (usually in really shitty living conditions) earning currency. Depending on how SFV's currency works this could be difficult to do or easy to exploit (Like if you get Match money from rooms, 1 guy with 2 consoles constantly perfecting himself "online" earning Match Money).
New player comes along wanting to play a DLC character (or all characters) but doesn't want to play for 50 hours to unlock them all, so goes to a website and buys the currency required for slightly less than what Capcom sells the premium currency for.
New players pays with paypal on the website, goldseller invites player to a room, wagers whatever amount the guy paid for with real money and just stands there, new player gets his absurd amount of match money. Though this could be fought by limiting wagers.
1 out of every 5 match, you come across a gold seller who just stands there and does nothing.
...Oh god, it could happen.
Also a problem, I would assume you get match money even if you lose online (If not, I am absolutely fucked as someone new wanting to play). If MMO bots can run from place to place gathering/fighting, I can see SFV bots continuously joining online matches and do nothing but jab, lose the match, join a new one, nothing but jab 24 hours a day.
Some people would report for botting, others would love the free win.

maybe some form of match making / rank system could alleviate that somehow.
That sounds really easy to detect but yeah it's definitely a worry when porting something to PC. Especially considering offline matches pretty much have to give you some sort of currency, surely no one can be as idiotic as Namco was with SCV.
Oh no
Red Bull costume for Balrog.
I'm just wary of in-game currency that can change hands and PC, especially with a company that hasn't handled that before.

an exploit system.

Yeah, this announcement might end up selling me a PS4. I suspect PS4 users will lock out PC users due to rampant cheating. Capcom has no idea of the beast they're unleashing with this.
At worst, this will ruin the online modes. I'm almost changing my mind and thinking that earning "Bison Dollars" needs to be offline only, but then people would hack that and Capcom loses all DLC money- so that won't happen.
I see potential for this to end up truly disasterous, even if the intentions here are good. If Capcom really makes this grindy like I expect, then the cheating is going to be enormous. People idled for days just for TF2 weapons, this could end up worse.

thank you LORD haunts
Did they screenshot power point slides in full screen mode instead of presentation? Why are red squiggly lines showing up?

Thanks for the heads up
Yeah, thanks! Was a good watch, though I would have liked it if someone had asked about stages and if they at least are somewhat tied to a couple of characters. That and if they will have weather effects, day/night time variations and/or transitions and secrets like the Hong Kong stage (a stage in which they definitely need to change those two guys on the right in the bus imo to make it look less like they're having anal intercourse by the way...)
Finally, can someone with better ears confirm whether they mentioned that Ikeno is doing the concept art for the characters (again)? I thought I heard his name pop up at some point.
Edit: just thought of another question I would have wished someone had asked: why won't there be an arcade release for this game? Won't Japan need such a release to really care? Also, now that Tekken 7's cabinet can be updated and be played online, not doing an arcade release for SFV for money reasons makes no real sense to me.

They outright stated they'd reveal a character at the USF4 grand finals.
For those wondering, here's a timer for when that happens:
Not sure if they intend to reveal at the start or the end though
edit: sorry, didn't notice it'd shifted the time due to EDT rather than EST. Updated the timer.
Not yet - make sure to watch USFIV's top 8 later today though.
Edit: beaten like an old floor mat.

Bless you for that timer, I'll be asleep at that time but will look forward to waking up for that character trailer.
UNLESS IT LEAKS EARLY!

Well it'll be 2:30am for me, but I stayed up for Decapre so I'l stay up for this XD
Also, I didn't realise it was going to shift the time by an hour for EDT so I've had to update the timer in the original post.
If anyone feels like helping me double check my time I got it from this: http://i.imgur.com/h7r1ffd.png
I've been working off the BST because that's my actual time :3
Appreciate the link, can't wait for this game

How did Combofiend get to work for Capcom?
Seth Killian left to work on PlayStation All-Stars.
Picking a community manager from the community is an industry standard at this point.

I'm in canada. If I preorder from eb games today can I still get in the beta?
Well, that wasn't the most fortuitous of career choices, and that may be an understatement.
Thanks to David905 for the link. I'm really looking forward to this game. So much so that I already pre-ordered the US PS4 version on PSN, because I can't do so for the UK version for some reason. I feel like I just pledged to a KickStarter. Again
You should still get the code for the beta, right? That is, if they allow code redemptions from non-US addresses.
put in a resume I guess.

Finals are awfully late. Guess I'll catch up in the morning.

no worries :3
Some people have pointed out that UMvC3 is 2 and half hours long but it only usually takes 2 hours long sooooo the reveal might be 30 minutes before the USF4 finals
Something to keep in mind for those who were planning on just popping in for the finals to catch it.
More accurately he's a Lead Game Designer for Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC
Who happened to work on Playstation All Stars Battle Royale ;_;
Honestly at the time it seemed like a good career move. Considering how much of a step up it was, honestly it still does. On the flipside it seems like Combofiend is doing really well too. They both seem like they are really great guys so I'm glad.
If something scummy is possible, people will do it.
