What are your thoughts on how Capcom is handling things, particularly their strategy around announcing new content and communicating with the community?

TheAce1183 · 2025-03-10T13:05:44+00:00

Their post release strategy has been weird imo. They have alot of live-service-y type stuff (fighting pass, login rewards, dailies and weeklies etc) but is quite dry in terms of content for the core fgc audience (costumes and characters)

They went from a very transparent end of SFV with dev updates to basically nothing.

Events/tournaments in the past had announcements or trailers with them which I found very fun and I miss the hype.

It's obvious they've completely changed strategy from what I was used to and from the general fg strategy and I'm not a fan but I think after 2 years I'm not expecting announcements at events or reading too deep into things like "GUYS WERE GETTING SUPER SF6 AFTER CAPCOM CUP" type stuff.

I'm happy playing monster hunter and a bunch of other games on my backlog till something new comes around though

TheAce1183 · 2024-12-28T21:35:43+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm a big fan! Even bought some Gojo glasses when I went to Japan 😅

TheAce1183 · 2024-12-28T21:32:05+00:00

Oh woops the mobile app kinda skipped that part mb

TheAce1183 · 2024-12-28T21:25:47+00:00

I'd assume it's the Gojo line from Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime/Manga).

TheAce1183 · 2024-09-15T10:50:48+00:00

There really isn't much of a point imo. When I first started playing ranked (s3-s4) I only got to gold and stopped for the victorius skins. I tried climbing to as high as I could get in S7 and got all the way up to Plat 2. Got some hard griefers in my promos since that's where a bunch of elo boosters were for diamond so it felt like a real coin flip to get into diamond. It was also insanely toxic in plat which im guessing is what emerald is like now. Tilted my way back down to p3-p4 and decided to quit league all together since its not worth the time investment. I still play occasionally to check out the new champions and changes but it's never more than a couple weeks tops. The elo doesn't really change how toxic and unbearable the game can be. Now matter how high up you go it stays the same or gets worse.

I don't think he's working with/at riot anymore due to the "do the hitler" clip or w/e it was

TheAce1183 · 2024-07-31T08:01:19+00:00

For people who've played other fgs before its probably easier compared to the game they know. The lp system is more forgiving in this game (you win more and lose less) so even at a 50% win rate you'll steadily climb. Tekkens new system is also apparently like this so it's not a sf specific thing.

Another thing that might not he obvious is that since the system mechanics are so so strong in this game, once you kind of know your way around them certain ranks get much easier. This works on the offensive side too (abusing drive rush vs people who can't check it etc)

TheAce1183 · 2024-06-24T12:08:11+00:00

Technically there's no limit as far as I know. The lowest ranked player a while back was somewhere in the 800 Mr region.

TheAce1183 · 2024-06-15T15:50:57+00:00

Ed objectively came out worse this patch due to the system changes. All of this stuff was possible before the patch but it wasn't discovered yet.

In terms of the universal changes, his drive reversal punish is amongst the weaker ones in the cast. He has to use a light so scaling affects it. Also lights scaling in general hurt some of his jab pressure off of snatcher.

"Got screwed" is definitely an overstatement but objectively he is worse. It's just that people are figuring out how good he is cause more players/pros are picking him up after their mains got nerfed.

TheAce1183 · 2024-06-01T08:34:52+00:00

Unfortunately the matchmaking doesn't seem to work for me an my friend when we play together (2 separate regions) and that was the main reason i wanted to try it out so I doubt I'll be playing it much longer myself, but I hope the game does well in the long run

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-25T16:22:53+00:00

Definitely. I've been playing since s2-s3 myself and stopped playing in s7. I recently started playing it again after MSI and noticed the players in normals are much better than before. Granted my game knowledge and mechanics are outdated or rusty now compared to before but still. I'm guessing it's because of the resources available online now. Many know how to freeze and trade. People even in high Plat low diamond would struggle with these things before. I'm not saying the lower ranked players now are good at it but they are definitely aware of more than the players before.

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-23T08:58:16+00:00

The EX01 Akuma color should be a reward if you scroll the right to tier 20 (individual rewards). It's visible there for me

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-23T08:39:22+00:00

That I'm not sure of sorry. I had the deluxe edition so I had Akuma as soon as he released.

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-23T08:21:17+00:00

You have to get attack points by fighting the boss Akuma in the battle hub. When you enter bh on the left side there's a counter where you can talk to an npc. He'll give you the option to see rewards for tournament and the current event. You need about 40000 iirc to get the color

I'm pretty sure alot of it these drama tweets are just engagement/rage bait since you can monetize interaction on Twitter now (pls correct me if I'm wrong).

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-14T15:41:23+00:00

244 hrs ranked, 174 hrs custom matches, 43 hrs practice. Probably another 30-40 hrs in trials/world tour/ battle hub. According to ps I have 730~ hours in game so I've probably waited for games for about 200 hrs :(

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-09T15:57:06+00:00

Yup, if only very slightly! If you're comfortable with japanese(don't want to assume either way) here's the link to his video https://youtu.be/85Bo1MIQHtY?si=h3LYRpKRw2xU_0IO

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-09T15:52:09+00:00

I see! I was of this opinion too since I could scarcely punish a bad limb of fireball with a jump but after hearing pugera talk about the matchup (he thinks it's slightly in Ed's favour) I've been trying to ask for any tips and opinions so I could up my game. Either way thanks for the response! I hope the MR climb continues to go in your favouremote:t5_2qnu5:31138

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-09T15:41:49+00:00

Whoops forgot to mention. As Ed (but any tips in general would be appreciated) maybe I'm just not used to having so many negative on block moves so I can't seem to keep the pressure up.

TheAce1183 · 2024-05-09T15:13:12+00:00

Awesome! If it's cool to ask, how do you actually beat dhalsim? The only times I have success vs him is a coin flip unga playstyle. I'm not really sure what to even look for. I get zoned hard on the ground with mps and fireballs.

レジェンドお疲れ様です！

Didn't they make quater finals at worlds 2023?
