Official Thread Street Fighter 5

I'm going to call "bulls***" on the positive spin from this quote. As you said, they had 7 versions of SF4.

They must have some MAJOR plans to charge the s*** out of people for the dlc/season pass'.
Nope all of the characters are FREE for the life of the game.
Season pass gives extra skins and shortcuts to unlocking the characters ie without using fight cash.
 
Sort of want the digital version of the game. Most of my PS4 games are physical except for a couple where it was an obvious advantage or because of a sale. With SF5 it will be something played over time so the convenience of digital would be nice. But already spending $80 on the CE so...
 
I heard they are having problems meeting the demand and Amazon emailed me as well saying my pre-order will be delayed wth!? I called and bitched and got a $10 credit.

For the CE version? Just got my email from Best Buy saying it will be ready for pickup. Which means they already have it in store. :yninja:
 
Good for you wth 4 me?My controller didn't ship yet either...it best ship 2day or they will give me something back.I wonder if Amazon just has a supply issue with SFV?

I got this email and it seems others are getting similar emails?
"We recently learned there will be a delay receiving the product from the manufacturer that may prevent us from delivering "Street Fighter V - PlayStation 4 Collector's Edition" by February 16. We're very sorry about this.

We’ll make every effort to get the delayed item to you as soon as possible. If there are other items in your order, they'll be shipped according to the delivery estimates listed in the order details in Your Account"

Damn sucks on the delay. The CE is still listed as available from Gamestop and Best Buy so must not be a supply issue at least. Just Amazon bungled maybe.
 

Regardless of what they say...
PS4 on the left looks more detailed in this video and doesn't have that awful blur.
PC version has better AA.

Lol Kaz throwing shots at Capcom? It's funny because Sony is funding SFV.
 
From what I've been reading the only dowside to SFV are missing features. The core gameplay and online battels are pretty solid.
 
Picked up the game and about to give it a whirl. Checking out the soundtrack sampler and thankfully they have the main theme. :yyell:

Full soundtrack is only $10 which is lol that they couldn't just include the full thing with the CE.
 
Great game but I still notice blockiness/pixels in certain parts of the player models in the beta and its still in the full game.Couldn't get a match online last night hopefully it's fixed 2day,Plainview and zero don't like me.
 
lol I'm going to need some time to learn the game. I got 8 characters in on easy survival using Cammie so it's a start I guess. Still trying to go through training to find someone I like. Might pick up the guide to learn some more.

As far as the Mad Catz controller... disappointed. The X button is sticky and the D-pad has a catch in the bottom left area. Probably return it. I played with the DS4 and honestly thought it was fine anyways.
 
I'm probably going to hold off on Street Fighter V for now. I started playing Tomb Raider, i know a fighting game is probably a good compliment to other games but i don't like playing too much at once.

I like how the trophy descriptions for SF5 are over the top. Someone put a lot of effort into it. :laugh:
 
So far the Hori Fight Commander 4 seems to be the best controller for this game.
After receiving and testing out my Madcatz SF Pad.....
I am very disappointed in the d-pad which pales in comparison to the Hori and even the MKX one.
Thankfully I cancelled one before it shipped and can get my 5 back from GS.
I think if it was modified like in this video it might be great..oh well.

 
Why the hell is it so difficult to make a proper fight game pad?!???

I think it may have to do with Patents. Companies trying to be careful not to step on any toes. I know Nintendo had a lock on their D-Pad for a very long time and other companies couldn't use it. I would think that patent and some other old ones like the Sega Genesis D-Pad expired by now.


Edit: I also think that these companies like MadCatz use games with large execution windows for testing like Street Fighter 4. I think if they were to test these D-Pads on older games with tighter execution like SF2, King of Fighters, or SF3 Third Strike, they would see the D-Pads are crap right away.

It's almost like there's a patent on 8-Way directional!

Anyway, I'll have my controller today to test for myself. The DS4 is so bad.
 
Joystick as in fightstick or just the analog stick on DS4? I don't do too bad with the DS4 using the stick.
 
Fightstick or Hori Fighting Commander Fightpad. I don't see your ds4 analogs having a long life if they are used with SF ;)
Controllers usually don't get much life because of me anyways. Although my current Xbox one has a squeaky R2 after like 4 months maybe just from standard use. I'll use the DS4 for now until I decide on that Hori fightpad. Might just go with the Hori RAP or whatever since it's $150.
 
Used controller. DPad is sub par. Surprisingly, the thumbstick is awesome. It's so far above the stick on the DS4. If the controller didn't have that stick, it would be worthless. Nice touch having a trigger switch on the back so I could throw L1 and L2 to the right side. Buttons are placed well. I have big palms and shorter fingers and the controller fits nicely in my hands. The thumbstick is placed absolutely perfect for me.
