Sweet. +R on Steam. Finally a game on the platform that will break my measly high of 50 hour-played (KOFXIII).

No, seriously, there's less than 50 active VSav players in NA I'd bet.

How are you defining "active"? You might be right, but I'd want to say there's more. I see 80+ in a very active chat I lurk, 30 that traveled to Evo, a variety of others that I met at NEC, and even more unfamiliar killers playing when I was at Next Level a few months ago. I never really netplay the game, so I'm not sure how that scene looks, but I understand it's not hard to find matches. What I don't see are many tournaments being hyped up (at least without Rotanibor's championing in advance), but the throw-downs definitely happen when the players are in the same place.

So where the hell did those modders go and who wants to start a donation fund for them, lol

It's been a long time since I played Melty, but CCCaster was the name of the matchmaking client. It worked decently enough. I did have match against some guy named Texas Tim when I was in new york a long time ago, so assuming he actually was in Texas, and it worked decently enough. Playing against other people in my state felt pretty smooth, it works better than using the in game matchmaking.

French-Bread pls
"Akatsuki:
-A Tekkou (214A) worse on block? About -4f. It's a free throw for the opponent."

Akatsuki does not deserve a single nerf.

Thinking about the first attack vorpal change, it can lead to some dumb stuff, like Gordeau doing 99sec grim reaper or Merkava mashing on 214X from the jump and being able to immediately go into a combo. If they're going to keep it, I suspect it would be better to just award bonus GRD for it and have the vorpal effect kick in when it would normally.

For what it's worth, that client has seen some significant upgrades over the last 2-3 months -- that's when it went to a rollback-based implementation, and it's way more responsive now. As in I can play someone cross-country at 0-1 delay and playing people on the other side of the ocean isn't a terrible experience.

Unfortunately nowadays having to search for more than a minute in any fighting game tends to paint it as something unworthy of spending time on. I find it strange coming from a scene where people would have to travel by car, bus, train or airplane at times to fight the best opponents.

Man I'm pretty excited for that UNIELST. It might actually make me wanna play it again, it'll be gr-

That's about the one nerf he has out of a dozen or so buffs:

Close range 5B added
Close range 5B > Far range 5B route works
5B has increased cancel-routes
Downed opponent can be picked up with close range 5B
B Denkoudan (236B) increased bullet speed
A Hakubou (22A) is a signle-shot move now. Increased damage
A Hakubou increased hitbox!? It's not an aerial suicide, but you can continue with Denkoudan.
A Tekkou (214A) worse on block? About -4f. It's a free throw for the opponent.
Far range 5C doesn't whiff on crouchers!!
Kamikaze raw damage 3900
Assault j.B & Assault j.C won't whiff anymore
j.2C doesn't scale as badly as it did before.

It may not be enough, but this doesn't look like an Capcom style "let's nerf bottom tier characters into the ground" screwjob.

So does that mean he can just cancel his DP into fireball? Sounds pretty godlike. There may be hope yet.

Spoiler

Still love Blitzkampf tho

 

[Rhapsody]

Just give me a better Seth and Nanase, and I will love you French Bread.

Also add Erika.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Chaos buffs please.

I stand by what I said.

 

[El Sloth]

I think Sorunega has your hook-up. Here's his translation (from another player, but still):

Awesome, thanks. Aerial teleports sound cool. We Sim now.

I'm a little confused by some of the notations though. FF is Force Function, but then what is FF2A and FF5A? Is she going to have followups added to her FF or something now?

Kinda neat, but would suck having to eat a candy bar every time you wanted to do a special move.

Certain FRCs are just muscle memory though.

That and I can adjust a little too well to latency after years and years of playing fighting games online xD

 

[Coffeeling]

Is it just me or is the shark adorable?

I've never seen this actually happen with any fighting game.

#Reload's netplay is community-made and pretty good. The Steam version's netplay uses that same community patch.

You're at Stunfest KidA? We should meet there!

The vsav scene on ggpo is like 15 regulars though. And I think a few people play on PS3.

I am one of the PS3 warriors, there are certain times of the day you can get regular matches. I don't play as much as I used to because of time constraints and trying to concentrate on games I will be playing at locals. I'd say it's impressive for as old as the game is that we still have the amount of people we do.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. It's in the play guide that they uploaded.

PS3 sticks for PS4 is confirmed for USF4. They also said they got rid of the PS3 lag (my guess the port is based off the PC version anyway).

There is a great video on youtube that I wish I could find right now that says there was no PS3 lag..the odd one out was the Xbox version it ran faster. PC arcade and PS3 all ran exactly the same ..really is irrelevant at this point but just found it interesting ..

 

[Anne]

Thanks guys <3

Edit: Oh nevermind orz

Pretty sure the final verdict was that the arcade and PS3 versions each had 4 frames of lag while the 360 version had 2.

Hopefully this increases the chance that the Japanese side of Capcom developing SF5 will add the drivers.

I played the arcade version a pretty good amount before USF4 came out. We had the big red cabs, and I can confirm they lagged more than an Xbox set up on an ASUS.

I still want that Capcom vs SE game, so the Deus Ex treatment could be a cool storyline.

I would rebuy TTT2 and VF5 if it got the same no lag/1080p release. Probably even HDR actually

Oh sweet, thanks for this. Seems like they're trying to add some utility to it. Must have noticed people we're rarely using it outside of combos that start with lynchpin. It's got good reach, and covers a nice area for Hilda, but usually isn't worth spending a block of GRD on.

That's awesome! So no roster tweaks as far as balance though? I'm okay with this.

I'll wait to hear the report on netcode. I will absolutely ditch PC edition which I barely touch due to junk net code.

 

[Skilletor]

I would rebuy every fighter just to have them all digitally in one place.

 

[AAK]

The 1 frame lag in TTT2 is unfortunately intentional and it's used to iron out the netcode. Although it does wonders for the netcode, the same thing gets applied to offline. I have no idea why Namco just made the 1 frame input lag for online mode only but kept it out of offline.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I like that that the steam collection of fighters is slowly growing. Hope we get more classics.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Holy crap, we can use PS3 sticks on the PS4 for USF4.

I too would also rebuy every fighter digitally if I could as long at they at least try to let you use a joystick.

Not so daily reminder that you can use almost every joystick ever made in the past 20 years with a proper adapter on the PC version of any fighting game.

I was having fun a week ago playing Skullgirls on PC with my old Wii joystick lol
