Finally just played a Swedish Chun! Was fun, then got kicked off the server.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yay, Win number 2!

Spoiler

two out of three a'int bad, right? xD

Defeated another Nash this time.

 

[FullmetalPain]

lol I just got kicked out

 

[Papercuts]

Woof, crash to dashboard.

the dream is dead.

 

[Hasney]

Just played a Ryu who was teleporting all over the screen. Annoying :/

Yeah, think that's how it odes lag rather than slowing down the game like 4 did. Didn't happen much in my last match, but Chun Li had one or two moments.

Also salty that the Chun Li I played has already levelled up. I can't even send matches to the server.

Annnnd I was just booted. to dash

 

[Alchemist]

Is UK still down?

Just went down.

 

[rikichi]

And got kicked out. I'm out

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Around 15 matches and finally got disconnected.
Pack it up.

 

[Revengineer]

Everything is error codes in USA for me.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Nooooo! I was winning against this Nash!! D:

 

[Kane1345]

NOOOOOO DC! I was beating my first Nash. Onoooooooooooooooo!!!!

Love you Ono

 

[skLaFarebear]

There goes the server.

Well it was super fun. Gonna try to get some more matches in before tomorrow.

 

[Flashy]

Ah. Lost connection with player then the game crashed.

 

[DrStruts]

UK here. Managed to get in after many attempts and played one match as Ryu. Started out well but the match eventually descended into lag hell. Then back in training I got the 10002 error and now I'm back to the damn title screen again.

 

[Giriath_89]

That may be it.

 

[J-Skee]

And then it crashes!! Nash is way more difficult to use than I thought. Of course everyone is picking Ryu. Not that I'm complaining. This is so good.

 

[Piccoro]

Played a good 20 minutes. Booted me to the XMB just now. EU.

 

[Tratorn]

Yep, disconnected too. Seems server are really offline now or is someone still online?

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Yup seems like everyone just got booted. It was fun though and I'm glad I finally got some extended time to mess around with it.

My corneas were fucking starved to just see the training room again.

 

[raven777]

The game looks great...except the weird dithering kind of things on the textures? I don't know what it's called... I have noticed the in the screenshots and I noticed them when I played the game.

 

[Akibared]

Only won one of my 5 matches but all of them were flawless!

 

[Kane1345]

Loving this game right now. After playing shotos for years I really like the new Chun and I'm gonna stick with her

Spoiler

until Cammy shows up

 

[FullmetalPain]

Everyone got kicked out it seems. Dream is dead

 

[Westlo]

How long till it goes back up?

 

[Spinosaurus]

Welp that's that

 

[Troubled Bat]

I think that may be it. It was fun as hell.

11 wins, 5 losses

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

How long till it goes back up?

About 8 hours apparently.

 

[SpiceMelange]

How long till it goes back up?

11:00 am PDT

 

[RedEther]

Went 3-0 with Chun before I got disconnected

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Only won one of my 5 matches but all of them were flawless!

Yep, the netcode of my three matches was great. Was impressed with the matches when I actually got in them!

 

[Troubled Bat]

I can't wait to try out Birdie and my girl Cammy. :3

 

[Rice-Eater]

Just had my first SFV disconnect. And it was because of me because I lost connection to the server again, fuck yeah. I was up a round and the 2nd had just begun anyways so I think it should be obvious to my opponent I didn't rage quit lol. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I played at least over 30 matches tonight with probably a 70-75% win rate. I also found some cool stuff when I was looking for set ups. I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Time to get some shut eye now finally.

 

[FullmetalPain]

I can't wait to try out Birdie and my girl Cammy. :3

Birdie is broken as fuck right now lol

 

[Raitaro]

some are getting in, ive been trying for an hour and a half and just get error codes

...while I did manage to get in, but only briefly. Others have been reporting they actually managed to play matches though (all on EU PSN accounts/codes). In other words: nobody fully knows what's happening.

 

[Kane1345]

6-5 with Chun. Nearly all the matches I lost were to Nash. Need to learn him more and I keep getting caught by the second swing in his EX rugal kick. Grrrr

 

[Durden77]

My connection was fucking rad and pretty much lagless. I can see them hopefully working all this out by tomorrow.

Kept trying to play Nash like Guile and that didn't work hah. But man is he fun.

I think the thing that's going to take the most getting used to for me is that the normals don't change when you're close to the opponent. I think I might end up liking this better in the long run, but for now it's just weird.

 

[RedEther]

I hope they will have Cammy & Birdie up in 8 hours

Everyone got disconnected I believe. Probably wasn't you this time.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Birdie is broken as fuck right now lol

Hey, I know this. I want to make people rage. xD

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

For real? Of the 20 minutes I got to play yesterday, I could have sworn Chun's did.

 

[Alchemist]

5 games all against US players and not a hint of lag.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Two matches against Nash - 2-0 wins, and a round 3 pixel loss to a Bison!

All in all a fun night. Kudos to those that played more, but very glad we were able to play at all. I was beginning to lose hope! xD

 

[RS4-]

Fuck, maybe I should've stayed up a bit longer to get some games in. Just woke up thinking I could actually play lol.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Hopefully everything is up and running smoothly tomorrow by time I wake up. I still need to take Chun-Li online.

Nash will still be my main character at the moment.

 

[FullmetalPain]

The hosts in USFIV are fucking shit. You get kicked for beating them 75% of the time.

 

[Durden77]

For real? Of the 20 minutes I got to play yesterday, I could have sworn Chun's did.

Ryu's definitely don't. I had heard about it so I specifically tested it in the training room. I don't think Nash's do either but I was distracted while playing as him. Seems universal.

 

[ScribbleD]

Got about 10 or 11 matches in before getting disconnected. The game plays and looks like a dream. The netcode is phenomenal. Some matches had no business being as smooth as they were. I tried to split my time between Ryu and Nash. Nash is gonna take some time to properly figure out, because he seems to be a pretty complicated character. He's amazingly fun, though. He's got some pretty insane shenanigans and set-ups from what I can tell. He's also got some insanely high damage critical art setups. Ryu feels really fresh thanks to his parry. It's active longer than a 3S parry, and it's not as easy to punish parried attacks (fast attacks anyway), but it goes along way towards making me want to pick Ryu up again. I got a lot of mileage out of stuff like cr.mk xx lk tatsu xx ex-DP or super and f.hp xx st.mp xx dp.

If / when I get back in later I want to focus a lot more on learning the new links. That 3F input buffer is a godsend so far. Execution on some of the tighter-feeling links already feels much more forgiving, and that's without even double-tapping.

SF5 is shaping up to be really special. I'm overjoyed. Specific gameplay stuff aside, the art style, the lighting, the visual effects, and especially the really bassy meat-y sounding effects, the game speed, and the renewed focus on aggression is giving me the warm fuzzies.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Had anyone been able to play any matches before this little patch this morning? This was my first time getting in and actually playing against a human opponent.

 

[SgtCobra]

Im in UK and have been playing for 30 mins now

Still getting errors

I got in for 2 matches before it but it worked way better in the last hour when I got in again.
