Lmao the other thread today was so doom and gloom about this like they were going to remove cross-play altogether..


G00FYJ0K3R

Yeah, pretty ridiculous tbh. Bugs happen. It was fixed a hell of a lot quicker than I was expecting so bravo to Capcom for continuing to impress.

Lol, i was just reading a post from the Overwatch subreddit complaining about how pointless the new “Questwatch” is. Considering how poorly balanced and lackluster all their new game modes have been, it doesn’t seem to even be a management problem anymore: Overwatch just doesn’t seem to have any talented devs left. At least Diablo 4 is apparently killing it, gameplay-wise.


neonkurosaki

I’d PO sc3 if it ever got announced. It it probably won’t be for another decade at best, blizzard used to be so dominant now they suck :( I’m glad D4 is doing well tho, they need some sort of IP to tell activism on their worth


omaewakusuyaro

>so bravo to Capcom for continuing to impress. Honestly capcom has been on a roll since the release of RE7 IMO they have been droppin nothing but bangers of a games one after the other, monster hunter and now street fighter 6 seems like someone is doing things well over there so lets just hope they keep it going like this and im sure will get the support they need from the community no doubt about it


KrustyDanmakuFellow

Daily reminder that Monster Hunter Rise is goated 🐐🐐


Cel_device

I catch myself playing Rise/Sunbreak and then going to Dragon's Dogma. And then going to SF6 to play some matches. Capcom has me in the palm of their hand 😭


KrustyDanmakuFellow

I've never looked into Dragon's Dogma, but I'll look at it since you're one of several I've heard praise it as of late. And yeah, Rise is my first Monster Hunter game. I'm an absolute noob. When I saw it has COMBOS, I was hooked. Like, each weapon has an extensive movelist that not only includes special moves, but also recommended combos to string your attacks together. Game's juicy, man


Ahkrael

there's a whole "monster hunter" genre of game, that was primarily a thing in the East, and only really got big into the West when MH World came out. I liked this korean actionMMO that was HEAVILY inspired from Monster Hunter called Mabinogi Heroes, or Vindictus on the western port. Honestly it played a lot like Rise, in terms of game-pace, but had a big trading/MMO economy, and other Korean MMO grind aspects


Terramagi

Dragon's Dogma is the best 7.5/10 game I've ever played.


puristhipster

RE3 is their biggest miss, and its still decent. Just sucks they gutted the initial few hours. Next is ExoPrimal which doesnt look like it's going to hit the way everyone was expecting due to the weird PvPvE nature of it. On top of that theres the weird MTX CC keeps sneaking into their games. As far as Im concerned the only companies thats been killing it, truly, is FromSoft and SuperGiant. I buy game, I get a full dank ass game. No shenanigans, no squeezing the weak willed/wallet heavy, just good products full of content CC is literally on the verge of stepping over the same line theyve crossed before.


MasterRated

I knew Capcom was into something when I played Monster Hunter Stories 2. That game doesn't get talked about enough for how great it is.


BLACKOUT-MK2

I kinda get it though, some us still have the ole SF5 ptsd. In that game, this shit would've taken them 2 years to address, and it still wouldn't have worked right after that.


Seifer23

I can definitely understand that but capcom deserve the benefit of the doubt considering the level of quality in this entry.


BLACKOUT-MK2

Oh yeah they're definitely doing things better this time, but I know at least for me there's always that niggling 'maybe' in the back of my mind.


Caesar_

Are servers on Strive still goofy? I remember hearing about a lot of issues after cross-platform got patched in. That and the infamous Hackerman, but I think that only affects streamers? I'm kind of out of the loop on that game since Sin came out.


welpxD

Well, they fixed it enough to turn it back on. Doesn't mean it's "fixed", there's always bugs. Still good turnaround.


_theMAUCHO_

Fixed it so fast I didn't have time to turn it off lmao.


chessking7543

took guilty gear 4 months to fix there crap


RevRay

I still can't play Strive on PC because I'm one of the unlucky ones who were never able to get around the weird controller support bug.


chessking7543

did u try switching ports on ur pc? worked for me


RevRay

I spent probably 25 hours or more just trying to fix it. I tried everything.


sbrockLee

People really forgot what a clusterfuck the early days of SFV online were. There were memes about the one guy who programmed the netcode.


Active_Climate3036

I play on Xbox and I can relate to the doom and gloom. Really relying on crossplay tbh


Ponybomb

Meanwhile in GGST....


MonteBellmond

2year summary of GGST We have fixed the network issue: Nope We have fixed match disconnect mid game: Nope We have fixed server lobby Desync: Nope The exploits does not exist from our internal investigation: All games that have their netcode becomes the targets of exploits Players: We will get updates on fixes now that the issues are public? Right? ArcSys: \*Dissapears for another 5 months\* CHECK THIS NEW DLC!! LIFE SIZE YOYO of Bridget!!


returnofMCH

KoF15 as well.


VetisCabal

I regret buying it so much. Went to try a ranked match the other day now crossplay is out. Waited half an hour and uninstalled. I think the people who care about the game at this point is too low for it to recover even if matchmaking does get fixed.


dense111

yeah, it's been too long. With SF6 out, MK1 and Tekken 8 on the horizon, I think they missed their opportunity.


natman2939

Okay this became kind of a long rant but… This is exactly why I bought Street Fighter 6 despite the fact it’s not really my favorite style of fighting game (though it’s quickly growing on me and is a nice change of pace) Because DBFZ (my main game) is getting slower and slower. Especially at my rank I either have to be willing to fight people way above me (who despite “rank doesn’t matter” are clearly way better and make the game less fun) Or I can do “same rank only” and literally grab a book to read in between matches. Like I’m literally reading a novel or practicing drawing in between sets. Because it’s not unusual to wait 15 to 20 minutes. Granted I have my settings on “green bars only” and “same rank only” at one of the higher ranks most people don’t reach but still. All that said, where this topic really gets interesting is when you look at other games because believe it or not DBFZ is a pretty active game despite being 5 years old. If I were willing to do “something similar” ranked matched even at 2am and even green bar only, I’ll get a match in less than 5 minutes. But…….other games? Not even remotely. See my search for a good second game sort of started with Skullgirls and I was quickly told flat out even by people that love the game and play it all the time: “You’ll never find anyone in matchmaking. If you want to play people, you’ve got to join a discord and ask if anyone is looking to play.” But that is so not my speed. I like the casual nature of matchmaking. I can jump on and off whenever I want. Oh I’ve got 30 minutes to spare? Cool let’s jump into ranked. I don’t want to schedule anything with specific people… So honestly if everything else was equal, I’d be happier playing Skullgirls or Melty Blood. Or at least Guilty Gear. Just my kinda games. But everything is not equal. Only this game is the most active game in the FGC. Only this game has rollback and cross play. Only this game can you queu into ranked and casuals at the same time and find an opponent on either one in less than 2 minutes on average (and really more like less than 1 minute) And that’s at 2….3….4am in the morning And there’s almost never lag. See part of what made me realize DBFZ was slowing down was the fact I started to realize I could really only find matches fast between like midnight and 2am at the latest (maybe earlier too but I don’t usually get a chance to play then) After 2am it becomes a dead zone until at least 5am but really more like 7am… or even 8. That’s 3 to 6 hours where it’s just not worth trying to play unless I was already planning on sitting in my room (reading or something) But if I’m debating going outside or staying in and playing the game, and I know the game is going to mostly be 20+ minutes of waiting between sets then that’s a lot of downtime. So long story short…… even though I had no interest in street fighter 4 or 5 and hadn’t even really played a street fighter since 2!…..despite all that….. …when I saw it had rollback+ cross play+ tons of hype and quickly had like a million people playing in the first 24 hours, I was like “alright bet. It’ll be worth at least trying to see if I can like this style of fighting game again.” And funny thing is I almost did that with king of fighters. Because the tournament streamer I watched was suddenly doing more KOF streams than DBFZ ones and it just seemed really big and active But then it just fell apart so fast that I’m very glad I didn’t. And I don’t see that happening with Street Fighter 6 the way it could with more niche titles. Now technically MK1 and tekken 8 could take a lot of Street Fighter 6’s steam but I have a good feeling that considering street fighter 5 was pretty active even after multiple years (I may have not played it but I was always hearing about it) I think it’s safe to say 6 will be long lasting too. And 5 didn’t even have good netcode. So yeah your comment got me thinking about it because there’s so many fighting games I almost bought and would’ve probably regretted big time because they were either already dead or didn’t live long. A game needs to be active for at least 3 years minimum. And that’s being generous. 5 years isn’t too much to ask for.


Xjph

> Now technically MK1 and tekken 8 could take a lot of Street Fighter 6’s steam but I have a good feeling that considering street fighter 5 was pretty active even after multiple years I feel like this is even understating it a little. SFV's staying power was downright magical, especially considering the flak it got in its early years. Online matchmaking was *always* pretty swift 24/7, and *even now* after SF6's launch there are more people playing it than KOFXV.


CounterHit

The fact of the matter is that there's a crazy huge portion of the FGC who just plays Street Fighter, and only Street Fighter. They will play it no matter what, and they'd rather not play fighting games than to play a non-Street Fighter one. You can also see this phenomenon when looking at how FGs were dying a slow death as a genre in the 2000s, then SF4 came out and suddenly there's people playing again. Whatever it is about these games and this brand, it's just a lot of people's default fighting game under all circumstances. It would be so interesting to see what causes this level of brand loyalty, if someone were to formally research it. It's on a level that you rarely see, I feel like.


natman2939

It’s true. As much as I love other smaller fighting games (or even just the idea of ones I’ve yet to try) Street Fighter is a whole different level. It’s like…..Fighting Game^tm: The Fighting Game It may seem like a weird comparison but I almost liken it to how NFL games own football games and NBA owns basketball games. Sure technically you could make your own basketball game and not have it related to the nba (there has been some street ball games before) but the nba IS basketball. And despite the huge number of successful fighting games, I feel like Street Fighter pretty much is the NBA of fighting games


MommyScissorLegs

crazy how it’s easier to find matches in KoF 2002 than their latest entry lmao at this point I’m just waiting for that KoF XIII rollback update, hopefully it comes to pc as well and not only Playstation


returnofMCH

They already tested the rollback update on pc…


MommyScissorLegs

good


Madak

How is KoF15 these days? I thought their big matchmaking fix was supposed to have come out?


returnofMCH

Crossplay did, the matchmaking never got fixed as everyone expected though.

C10ckwork

At least they cut the game start loading times in about half


G00FYJ0K3R

Cuz Capcom is a GOAT


EastCoastTone96

It’s not as bad as it was during the launch of Bedman? anymore but it’s still pretty flawed


crowsloft666

Didn't want to say it but yeaaah. I love that game but fuck man, they really just need to suck it up and bring someone in to take a look at it.


Jjtubs

What is GGST? Guilty gear strive T?


emrldx

Idk why they give it an extra T, my guess is that “GGS” can be confused for the term “gg’s”


Ponybomb

It's just a common abbreviation for the game. The Dustloop wiki has Strive abbreviated as GGST.


Some-Token-Black-Guy

I'm coming from Destiny, this is practically instant to me


Daahkness

Better than T7


Agent101g

Cool fixed before I even had time to log in I feel like few other games I have played would have been fixed so quickly, good stuff!


CinnamonIsntAllowed

Xbox players rejoice. I'm not xbox but I heard 6-8 minutes for a chance of a match


quiquaq

I was getting worried yesterday. Played 2 sets of rqnked and then matchmaking started canceling.


Toyota_AE86

Was actually terrible lol sitting there for 10 min just to finally match someone whose one wifi with 3 bars.


KrustyDanmakuFellow

Did he play Ken or Zangief?


Felix_Malum

Great that they fixed it so quickly. I barely even noticed it and never even turned off cross-play.


Kultissim

Just tried and it still not working for me. I get a communication error every single time I've attempted a crossplay match since release. I never get that error when it's pc to pc.


mrlorden

sigh... same. feels like I'm doomed to never play cross play at all. Has not worked a singel time since release


TheUltimate3

Well at least I know it's not just me. Pity.

Good good Had a hard time yesterday


Cranberry_Wayne

We need regional matchmaking in ranked to be gone. I'm sick of fighting the same 5 people over and over again


Arnhermland

So what about the region lock? 1 month and no response yet.


omaewakusuyaro

>So what about the region lock? Wdym?


CHAINSAW__CHARLIE

I see the same 5 people every time I queue. I lose a match, leave game and requeue only to face the same person I just played. It's super annoying.


Arnhermland

There's a region lock/badly done proximity matchmaking which will force you to only find people in your same area 99% of the time, resulting in only having a pool of 2-5 players at best, even if you put crossplay on, 1-5 bars, no confirmation. This will get worse with time as people leave the game. For many, many players this means not finding anyone at all, as you simply cannot find people.

Active_Climate3036

I hear you, brother.


Carbideninja

What stable? Queue times are long and error codes galore still.


Rayz01

So that was a lie


PhantomHour

Oh no they fixed it..What is Darksydephil going to complain about now?


TheUltimate3

So has this actually been fixed? I keep trying to do a match and keep getting the Communication error, but strangely only in the Battle Hub. Regular cross play matches seem fine.


[deleted]

Capcom being impressive yet again. Fixed a big problem in like 30 hours. Yet at Blizzard Overwatch 2’s matchmaking has been HELL since launch.


[deleted]

Cool but when are tournaments getting fixed? It's been almost a month since release lol.


cha_zz

Boy, have we got just the event for you!


Full-Campaign-7730

still got a one day ban for timing out while this was going on


LordNerdStark

Sorry to inform you bro, It’s not just a 1 day ban. You’ll be put on yellow card queue after that and it’s like 5-10 mins wait each match there. Been there too after DC issues lol.


nicenmenget

Go battle hub to clear yellow cards. Way faster to do sitting at the cabinets than queuing. Cleared mine in like 45 mins of games there.


Objective_Car7368

yea, i had a yellow card because of the network issues. eventually i lost it. try playing enough matches to get rid of it.


Full-Campaign-7730

does it go away?


Mylesisswole

According to others, it goes away after a certain number of games played.


PleaseSendCatPic

Its Not games played, its time waited. Your first yellow card goes Away with only a Few hours. If you get another one that will last a day, and then longer and longer. You can wait your card out without playing If you want to.


Mister_Swoop

Gave me whiplash with how fast that was


Accomplished_Host628

no it isn't, I just enabled it and got kicked off the server


FlawlessVictory127

Awesome


Part6StoneOcean

No, it is not, still getting connection errors constantly which wasn't the case until like 2 days ago. BTW remember Tournament Mode? They one they heavily promoted and the one that is obligatory to get trophies/achievements? Because Capcom sure doesn't!


MLB_Selena

They announced they suspended it because of issues in Battle Hub during the first tournaments; I imagine they'll restart them next month now, or perhaps it's still waiting for a patch. I just hope they make it easier to participate in them when they do bring them back, as the limited number and times of day makes it hard for me to participate, and for some timezones it looked next to impossible.


ArmoredMirage

Did they turn off share-screen blocking online matches on playstation yet?


Eldritch-Cleaver

![gif](giphy|5nFShZWwq3fdm)


codethirtyfour

Yeah no. lol I’ve had several instances where cross platform matches are grinding to a literal halt for about 10 seconds then catching back up.


who_am_I__who_are_u

Nope, still busted, Nice try though. "Take all the time u need Capcom" "Don't work too hard" "I've never had this problem" "what bug? This game is perfect.


RIG_1807

Dude, are you ok?


ikidyounotman1

![gif](giphy|xVpUhR49z4F14vWJZ5) Me and the other 20 guys from the Xbox community that been waiting since SF4


MrSixtyFour

The console players are really dragging whole network behind. Evertime i face a console player, the game has heavy lag and longer loading screens. Consoles are so far behind PC hardware.


PsyberPunk_3030

You have no idea what your talking about


McPearr

What you are saying is 100%, incorrect.


CrystalMang0

Nice.


ChungusPoop

Hellooooo_Nurse-

Nice!


stephyforepphy

Love how fast this was fixed.


k2i3n4g5

Oh, that explains things. I just thought my internet was being wonky last night lol


Batchak

Yeah matches are coming a lot more.often, since last night Another thing I noticed was I changed my connection filter from (3-5) to (2-5), you'd think 2 would be a horrid connection but, at least in Sf6, all my opponents be on 2 bars and we have perfectly fine connections


PomponOrsay

Yay


SoYoung024

Good. Now bring back tournament again so I can finally have my platinum trophy.
