Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4 is much, much better now. Bless.

It's good to see that all three relevant parties are on the case with this, although I don't have any issues with it I can understand why it's really pissed some people off. Hopefully fixing it will be a priority for everybody concerned and they'll get it working for everybody.

How do I upload it? It's just so weird. I would think that having it at normal speed would be completely out of there, but yet there it is. It's normal speed for a good while and then after a little bit, it goes right back to the laggy select.

Going off experience, it's always cheaper to get things done right the first time. What a mess.

Press the share button. You can then select "upload", choose the video, and upload it to Facebook or to your YouTube account. You can edit/trim the video during that process too.
Most likely. It would be weird if they're like "OK you really fucked this up and obviously have a hard time porting this but we trust you're competent enough to fix everything in a couple of weeks time".

I was point blank, as soon as the ultra whiffed his fireball motion completed, didn't notice any back dash either as he was right in my face. It was a very laggy match though so perhaps that was part of it. It was during this period of play that where hitting dhalism sounded like a robot in arcade mode, so maybe the game was already losing it's bearings prior to that online match. I figured something must have been wrong with the game itself since it crashed as soon as the K.O splash hit the screen.
Since that post, I've been back online playing some ranked and haven't really run into any other issue besides some pretty laggy matches. I've not been getting too many greens in arcade request though, just yellows and below.

I don't have a facebook for that. Give me some time to find the password for my youtube. I'll get that sorted later today and upload this.
Godspeed everyone involved, lol at "some" though.
So... they're giving it back to Other Ocean? Doesn't look like Sony is serious about fixing this in time for EVO. What a disaster!

lmao PS support chat just closed the session on me
Even fixing a broken game doesn't restore your rep all that much if the initial brokenness passes a certain threshold.

This is truly a disaster. Why did they go through all the trouble of getting this on PS4 if they were just going to be lazy about it. I think NO SF4 on PS4 is better than this fiasco. Corsi and Third Party Productions really need to get their act together. This shit is unacceptable. To think, I almost bought this, smh.

After yesterday it was pretty clear they are giving up on it being played at the big fighting game tournaments this summer.
Now the question is will they bother getting it up to snuff (unlikely if Other Ocean is still working on it) or will they do some half baked patches that fix some issues but not all and abandon it once the fever dies down and the SFV machine starts rolling at e3.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if anyone hires OO again.

Eehhhhh, maybe I'll just buy the PC version so I can get all those cool "extra costumes" and such. Bummer it didn't work out, was really looking forward to playing this on my Vita. 
Maybe I'll just wait a few weeks to see if things get hammered out...

Probably since putting the ps4 in rest mode while the game is running actually fixes the menus for a bit.

They probably either didn't do their research regarding Other Ocean or underestimated the standards that a game like SFIV should meet, or both. I'm assuming that nobody from Capcom or the FGC was ever involved to ensure that the port was of a sufficiently high quality.
It really boggles the mind how this could have happened.
Eh, of course they will. They've got years of experience, get the job done at a face value, and they're presumably cheap.
They just weren't up to porting a polished, precision fighting game, that's all.

They really did just create a bad conversation for themselves going into E3 with SFV. Now the newest SF-related thing going into SFV's E3 showing is SFIV being broken. Not only that, but this probably is going to cause a sentiment of "is this one going to work?" when SFV gets close to release.
SFV is of course being handled by entirely different people than this port, so it wont be a particularly logical connection, but that's what happens to a brand name after something like this happens.

I'm looking forward to EVO moment #4567 where ryu floats out of bounds and default wins after whiffing a shoryuken
Thing is, the brand name isn't hurt. Street Fighter 4 and the Super and Ultra iterations are still great games. This is just one shitty port. And anyone who would care most likely know by now that the reason behind said shittt port is a shitty studio.
Games are seldom judged by the worst available version.

Evo Moment #895: Slam-dunking a PS4 harddrive with USF4 into a trash can.

Ok, I uploaded it. Seems lag free for ten seconds, then brings back the regular lag.

Sure. I guess I more mean that when they get interviewed and otherwise talked to about SFV, it's going to be through a lens of SFIV being busted. It's going to come up in interview questions. Eg. "So, SFIV had a lot of difficulties at launch, what are you doing to ensure the same doesn't happen to SFV?" Questions/assumptions that they otherwise would not have had to deal with.

Thanks, so now we have proof that it is a shitty porting problem and not the ps4 performance, right?

It is for the platform holders at least.
Douche McBaggins The 3rd

That's what I'm guessing. I mean how the hell do the menus work for ten seconds no lag, then just lag out of nowhere? Makes no damn sense. But at least it shows that it can at least work for moments on end. It makes me wonder if you wake the game up from rest itself, does it fix the input delay too?
Better late than never right? Even though this could've been prevented.
I've expressed already that the port should've been handled by a competent dev, the fact that they stated that they're going to fix every problem is at least "something"
I'm neutral at the moment.

Now it gets interesting. But I don't think you can get into the game in this short time, do you?
Douche McBaggins The 3rd

No. It fixes itself immediately from going from rest into the game. So if I go to rest right before the menu shows up, and then play from there, it can probably record at least one or two screens of menus before it lags again.
Or perhaps someone can do the test who has lag measuring equipment and go from there? From a restart from rest mode?

How can you mess up a port? Serious question.
Is it really that hard to translate a last gen game to current?

So I went into training mode, picked my characters and waited for it to load up.
Once in game, I went into rest mode and started it back up.
I'm using my ps3 stick and while I don't think the input lag has changed, the game seems faster.
I'm not sure if its just me but it doesn't feel as sluggish as before. Also, the training mode menu has no lag and it isn't going away.

I dunno. I feel like the window for adoption of the port was already small and the damage is done. I'm bummed because I was hoping a lot of the current user base would move to PS4, and help consolidate it. I think it will have a significant impact on how it is perceived even if patched, and will hasten people dropping it for other fighters or passing until SFV. I hope it's fixed fast and I'm wrong.

This isn't a defence at all but pretty damn easily as evidenced.
Its not just a case of pressing a 'convert' button but if you're not up to converting a hardcore centric precision based fighting game, this should as been assessed and identified by Sony before they got the job. I don't blame Other Ocean for screwing up, they ultimately wanted 'worked with Sony on Street Fighter' for their portfolio to court further business so they aren't going to turn it down...I blame Sony for not saying 'wait, the Mortal Kombat screw ups - lol no'
