Street Fighter V: Despite all his ragé he's still just a rat in a Kage

I hope gouken has had enough time after sf3 to come back to the life for this version. If he hasn't I'm gonna suicide bomb capcom.

It looks like Ryu and Chun both have installs of some sort. Maybe guard break is only available after you've installed or popped x-factor or whatever it.

It also looks like the install effect on Ryu vanishes after he supers, so maybe there's something like you can only do supers after an install? Or it converts a super into an ultra while installed?

New console + new stick + game + PSN membership....ughh FU capcom, that's about 500+ euro easily...

You could easily upgrade your existing PC to run the game for less then that (assuming it can't already), just sayin

A wise choice.

No. Common opinion is that Ono is trolling us about El Fuerte making the SF5 roster.

I'm just talking about the actual lucha masks, not really bothered with whatever Ono is trolling about. :pac:

Hoping for urien to make a return

Anyone got an opinion on the Alienware Alpha PC/Console things?

Any use or would I be better off getting a proper PC?

How do people feel about what looks like SFxT combo system?

We dont mention SFXT around these parts

It never happened.

Some interesting speculation from the CEO of Lab Zero:

No plans for [Skullgirls to have crossplay between PS4 and PC like Street Fighter 5].

Going to ask Sony about it, but I assume that this is only possible because Capcom is rolling its own servers and matchmaking. And that's not something we have money for. That would likely be a big factor in the exclusivity, too, since MS has always been reticent to let games connect to devices outside of their walled garden.

If the things we're hearing are true, SFV is going to cost a staggering amount of money to develop. So I would not be surprised if the monetization for SFV is something akin to a Call of Duty Elite-style subscription service to help recoup that.

This is entirely speculation on my part, but I think it would make a lot of sense. It's a model that the hardcore have demonstrated they're OK with, unlike microtransactions and other "pay to win" things.

How would y'all feel about a subscription service to "Elite" stuff like CoD did for a while? Elite basically let you track stats across various games and gave free DLC to subscribers before it was available for everyone else to buy. The service was canned in CoDBLOps 2 and converted to a free system without the DLC bit.

The arcade setup for SF4 (and most arcade games) actually already has this system in play in Japan. You buy a game account card and swipe it when you put a credit into the machine, it'll load your profile up which has all your taunt, color, costume, etc unlocks and preferences set. You can configure all this information from a smart phone and also check all your W/L ratios and other info.

I could totally see a system in place that works similar to Season Passes do at the moment: Pay a monthly fee and you get access to all DLC for free while you're subscribed, along with whatever other nonsense they want to lock out of the regular user experience.

Maybe it could have a ranking system unique to this ' Elite ' subscriber service that is similar to the ranking system we've seen in countless Japanese AE / Ultra Arcade Cab videos while still retaining a casual ranking system.

Basically Championship mode.

As an aside, I'd have no problem with paying a subscription for access to an ' Elite ' version of SF V. As long as it doesn't effect offline tournaments than I'm cool with it ( That said, they could possibly do a system where stats are saved in case PSN / Steam is offline / Inaccessible and then the stats are uploaded when you reconnect. )

Gems confirmed. I'm so hype right now.
