Exactly so. Many fighting games would be more beginner friendly if they had a proper player pool. However the devs, publishers and the communities around them always fail to bring in new people.

Lobbies are such a massive improvement over Sign's lobbies. Good work there Arcsys.
It's really awesome! I also love how the trials don't immediately go to the next one so you can keep practicing.
Maybe there's some kind of matchmaking in ranked? I don't know, I can't remember the last time I played a ranked match in an Arcsys game. Most people just go to player matches in them, so it probably wouldn't be that effective.
Your best bet for some beginner friendly matches is probably to just ask around here, you should be able to find other beginners to play often or get some people to go easy and use characters they don't normally play.
If Street Fighter V can't do it, the latest update to an animu fighter won't.
By the way, how's the netcode and matchmaking for this? The last ASW game I tried was BB:CP and the matchmaking in that was horrendous. Sign, I remember, being alright.

Nah they are pretty much the same. A few might have been changed to make them more practical, or to account for new game mechanics. Mostly though they are the same.
Not like it helped MKX at all, it's deader than Xrd.
The netcode in this is between Sign and BBCP.
Better than BB worse than Sign.
Vanilla Sign was absolute dogshit so they might patch revelator later.
Not even games like MK and Injustice that sell millions manage to keep a deep player base.
It's not exactly something easy to figure out.
can we put a stop to this mentality that if you don't get capcom or smash numbers you're dead? Xrd and MKX both have very healthy scenes.
This is a weird/refreshing post when "Capcom numbers" means deader than dead everywhere else on GAF.

Fighting games, they are dead every, except here.
for sales i guess.
as a member of a VERY small fg community who has nevertheless enjoyed competing, i can assure everyone that if you want to main any game that's come out in the past two years, you'll have no trouble finding competition. SFxT is dead. Xrd and MKX are Sunday games at EVO.
IMHO they are a good way to see what can be done with your character combo wise. For more advanced/situational stuff, you haver character topics in the Dustloop forums

There's Guilty Gear Crash course, which is more general but may help you more easily determine what to look for in a character.
There's keep on rockin', a great video database which lets you search by character.

Those games sell millions because of spectale and presentation and they are largely played as single player, it will always be difficult to really push people onto online, until you can encourage people to try online, BUT with the current fighting game intelligentsia it's impossible.
Street Fighter is the worst to point to that, it's community limits itself.
I blame the esports bubble to make people think this way. People say DOA5 is dead when the thing recently hit 3.1 million users and has a 25% dlc rate.
Possible dumb question. Are the colors and system voices also unlockable in game? Or the ones unlockable are different than the DLC ones.
I think I saww the colors and voices unlockable in game. Check collection and go to gallery.
Earlier I only got a chance to take a quick look at the stuff in game, wasn't sure if the DLC was different.
There are colors unlockable in game (2 sets per character) but these are different from the DLC ones.
The system voices are all unlockable in-game apart from the new characters which have to be purchased.

If anyone wants to play.

They don't even have an al-in-one bundle color pack? You have to buy them all separately?
Thank you very much.
Does anything from Sign carry over to Revelator? I remember having a really cool black/neon blue playstation themed color set (I think it was free?), and would hate to have lost it in this game.
Thanks, I'll listen to the crash course videos while I work today.

Unfortunately nothing carries over from -SIGN- but you can unlock the PS colors (black and neon blue) in-game via fishing.
You can get the PS colors for a character after beating their Episode mode as well.
The color pack is available on JP PS Store for 1,800 yen including Dizzy
I was able to purchase the digital version and it downloaded fine.

Strange. I didn't have any issues a few days ago. Give it a try later or you could reset your network and see if that clears up anything.
thanks.
i did some troubleshooting already. thread: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1229589
this sucks a whole lot
Since you mentioned you had the PS3 version in the other thread, it seems there's an issue with it right now:

Probably just need to wait until they fix it, unfortunately.

Dumb question: did they make any significant changes to the character from Xrd?
Trying to justify picking this up for something other than the new characters. Really loved Xrd, but not seeing a big reason to upgrade. (unless I'm missing something)

Do you like to play online? Xrd is going to be a wasteland if it isn't already.

Not really - I suck. I'd even be in for new stages or a new story mode though - anything?
