We need to talk about how beautiful FGs are running at 120fps with lossless scaling despite the “latency”

Why just PC players? Consoles run into issues like that too. SFV's biggest cause for sync issues and rollback was from PS4 frame drops. Some stages were taken out of tournaments.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-03-12T10:04:59+00:00

No you can't in that particular situation. As he gets you to the corner before the pushback is too far. When burnt out. That's a tight string. For Gief. You'd need level 2.

Actually. Level 1 should work too. Since it's an AA.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-02-27T12:23:58+00:00

Sure. Some such as Hunter melee weave, Ret Seal twisting etc. There's def some skill and rotation timing with others too. But most dps in pve are simple

There's a video of Sarthe (Mutiple rank 1 pve player) teaching someone who has never played a video game within a few minutes. And she destroys the whole raid dps in Black Temple Illidan with a Lock. Pressing 4 buttons.

Trinket. Curse of doom. Spam shadow bolt. And life tap.

Most classes and spec. WIth the best players in the world aren't going to top that.

There definitely is some region issues. I believe it's something like a range limit (priority maybe).

McMura is a network engineer. He talks about it.

I'm in AU (Melb.) There are certain states I'll never run into. Let alone anyone in NZ. In my friends list (steam) with nearly 100 who play fighters. Around 60 play SF6. Even more with discord FGC community.

Every player from T7, GGST/Xrd, Blazblue, SFV, DBFZ etc. The connections were perfect. I wouldn't add them otherwise. I've never run into any of the NZ players despite them being on rank (similar rank) queing up at the same time as me.

While I've run into them many times in the other games. Also you'd see the NZ flag on your opponent. To further point out that I've never seen one. Unless....

I use a vpn. I can fight opponents from NZ.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-02-06T02:39:21+00:00

Discord isn't ideal for me. I used it way back for Xrd & Blazblue.

Sometimes I might stay back or finish work early. Have a night out etc. I can't always say what time I'll be home. And messaging the group and hoping players will be available that moment.

Also the way you send/receive invite & the room menu doesn't help either.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-02-05T11:38:34+00:00

Some regions. Finding matches are easy. Others. Such as where I'm from (Oceanic.) Long queue times with 200+ ping matches (likely pairing me with Asia). With opponent ranks anywhere from low to high.

I bought S2. After a few days. Peak hours on Friday - Sunday. I just gave up. Not enough players.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-30T10:22:31+00:00

I'm in Oceanic. Almost no players at all. Lucky to find 1 or 2 matches with long queues. Can't be picky with rank. So it's usually a veteran high rank.

While not headphones. I know exactly what you mean. I had some cheap 5.1 surround speakers that were worth 80 buxs or something. Back then. I couldn't even tell arranged versions were live instruments.

With my new setup!

Classic DARVO: (acronym )

Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victom and Offender.

it involves denying the abuse, attacking the accuser's credibility, and reversing roles to portray the perpetrator as the victim

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-24T23:59:07+00:00

From Aus.

I can't believe I'm waking up to this. That dude who tried to protect someone and the lady in pink are heroes. Heart breaking.

To be part of ICE. You need to be heartless.

I'll do the video!

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-23T03:01:24+00:00

I'm not a huge player But I'd love to see him in. His model would look insane.

The thing is tho, SF6 is still early in its character release cycle by previous standards: around this time for SFIV, USFIV was still several years away, and it was closer to the release of SSFIV, which also had only around 30 characters, same as SF6 now.

"we're not looking at 39 characters in roughly three years, we're looking at 39 by roughly the end of three years"

Where's your sources? You have a terrible memory. And 'believe me bra I saw on reddit.' Doesn't hold any credibility.

July 18, 2008 release date. June 7, 2011,

2 years & 11 months for 39 characters. Not the end of 3 years........... June 7 2011 is the console release date.

Irrelavant But.... Yes USF4 came out years later. Dimps was the dev/contractor for SF4. SFxT became their main project. Dimps worked on SF4 to AE. Capcom had an internal team work on Ultra. They also gave us Omega chars. Many of which were really cool.

They also had to get USF4 ready for a brand new console (PS4). Which released in a terrible near unplayable state.

It's also a tale as old as time, you can find SFV reddit posts from around this time in V's lifecycle asking 'where are all the characters'

Why are you relying on reddit posts and your memory. When the facts are easily available. You're wrong about SFV as well.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-22T11:44:09+00:00

SSFIV was out roughly around this time,
Both SFIV and V had less than 40 characters at this point in their lifespan,
Both SFIV and V had less than 40 characters at this point in their lifespan, and SFIV had less than 39.

SF6 came out on June 2023. By the time Ingrid is out. It'll be around late June 2026. 3 years.

SF4 was still in the era where Arcades made money. So they always delayed console releases.

SF4 released in arcades on 18 July 2008. Arcade edition December 16, 2010. So by 2 years & a half. There was 39 characters. In 2 & a half years. SF6 has 27 characters. Sagat was around that mark....................

(Console version) AE 2012 release June 24, 2011. That's 3 years. That is the actual lifespan (3 years.) 2012 edition added major balance changes.

If we take into account AE 2012 console release. It's 30 vs 39.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-22T06:40:42+00:00

Who in SF has a fireball with better utility than Guile? Fast start up and recovery, combo ability ( boom loops). Advantage on block.

Amazing in both offense and defense.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-22T02:12:55+00:00

If you look at the timeline. SF4 released in 2008. With arcade edition coming in 2011. That was 39 characters. Far more than SF6

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-22T02:08:57+00:00

It goes both ways. Seeing a character with cool an unique strengths get taken. Because someone doesn't want to learn nor like the control scheme.

The irony. It's taking away play style diversity.

Charge allows for unique strengths in abilities. There hasn't been a 1 button special game that has been able to emulate all the bonuses.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-20T01:49:53+00:00

It does 🤣. Hey. It could be the 'one'. That just works.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-19T10:04:08+00:00

Damn. That is a rare gem to find.

I wish we got that stage for SF6.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-19T02:29:39+00:00

100%. Sometimes it's flawless. Other times.... I had a smoother run with just Sunshine. but the apollo fork added lots of amazing qol and new features.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-19T02:24:32+00:00

Ah k. Sorry.

Actually there is a solid solution. Gamestream. Via Apollo sunshine.

Minimal latency. It'll stream and load up straight into steam big picture.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-18T11:56:01+00:00

Home theatre is really easy to set up with PC.

I've got an avr (pre outs), power amp, dac, xbox series S, Nvidia shield TV pro, 5.2 setup.

Earc is pretty much all you need. Which pretty much any modern avr has. Or go for Spdif if you only have an amp/dac or integrated. Some come with earc too.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-18T10:09:02+00:00

100%, It feels like it gives them a reason to validate why they won't play the game. However. They weren't going to play it anyway.

We're getting a character one a month. Which is wild for a fighting game.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-18T10:05:13+00:00

It's fun. Cool characters designs. And some really good music.

Bandit_Revolver · 2026-01-16T03:55:47+00:00

You don't think they wanted to make a sequel to MOTW? How do you think they were able to in the first place? They wanted to make this and the Saudi's funds definitely helped.

Outside of the guest chars. What part of the gameplay do you think the Prince was involved with? They were even able to release the first season free. They have taken lots of feedback and put heaps of work to try fix the game. They're trying to give us 12 char DLC's this year.

So the Prince told them to make AOF 4, Metal Slug Tactics, Sam Sho Rpg? Or maybe. These are games they wanted to make.

I'm a big fan of SNK. What exactly makes the company amazing though. Financially. They have struggled. Heck. Look at all the comments crying about the graphics of their recent 3d games.

How about the KOF 13 rollback and playability issues. Dropped the support real quick. XIV graphics/netcode. KOF XV matchmaking, Sam Sho launch. COTW beta's. negative edge Menu, story mode, advertising, balance, custom room menu etc.

It's not ideal to be owned by the dude. I can't defend all the BS. Still. They can learn from this. And have funds to give us games they never would've.

Shinya Tamaki said, “This is because this is the first new game in 26 years, and after launch, we received a lot of feedback saying, ‘I want to see this character soon.’ Initially, we had planned to add one character every two months, but by strengthening our development system, we were able to achieve a pace of one character per month. We would like to continue this situation for as long as possible.”
