I'm on PC here with a GTX 1060 and a decent enough PC. I thought I'd get back into this with the new update and everything (and good thing too because of that sweet Viewtiful Joe costume for my man Rashid) but I'm noticing the game looks like garbage. The textures are low res and blurry, shit just looks UGLY. And not in a "I don't like this art style" way, I mean in a "why do PS4 Twitch streams look sharper and better" way. I'm sure it didn't look like this before. I've tried tweaks I've seen but they are from like 2016 and stuff about Max textures being broken or something? I fucked about a bit and at one point had decent looking textures but then I fucked up and they went and I don't know how/why.

Obviously the main thing that matters is a smoother 60fps and the fighting, and that is all well and good, but it'd be nice if it looked nice. Anyone have any tips? I'm sure it's the settings that are broken because the textures are the same no matter the setting I pick. I'm running windowed at 1600x900 so I can have easy access to browsers and chat programs etc, just in case the resolution or window makes a difference.

There must be something wrong with your settings. Probably image scaling isn't set to 100% for some reason. This is what it looks like on my PC:

Textures aren't perfect or anything, especially some environments, but it's really good-looking game in my opinion.

I goofed and did the Viewtiful Joe mission a few times before I figured it out

Also the trials are hot garbage, I used to be able to futz out a DP motion for combos but it just goes to fireball every time now

fuck this noise I'm too old

What's everyone's thoughts on Sakura so far?

I think Sakura feels low tier... idk. Hope I'm wrong but I'm finding it really hard to convert into anything from mid range. Her spin kicks are bad. A lot of her normals are pretty bad. Her demon flip is also kinda bad. Not finding any of those things I mentioned very versatile. All of their uses are super specific to a combo and outside of that they just don't work really.

Need to see what people are doing with her. So far I'm underwhelmed. Don't think she can compete with like Ryu or Akuma.

Her b+HP is -4 ON HIT! ytho.jpg

I'd rather they were trying to duck than walk back when playing Alex. Most higher level players are going to walk back more than they will duck against Alex, but VT2 will make that a less clear decision.

If the DDT was actually a normal move It wouldn't be too bad for that reason. As it stands it seems way too little, especially when his V1 arguably has more utility and that didn't exactly help him much up to this point.

We still gonna get our around up to 6000 FM of weekly challenges and also this

04_ae03.png


Taking away one time stuff to double possible weekly earnings is more FM long term and especially better if you already beat the one time only stuff.

If you are mad you missed the easy FM from the start you shouldnt have waited 2 years i guess.
So does that mean if I play the slightly wealthy low rank shadaloo soldier x3 (spending 1,500FM) I can potentially earn 7,500FM?

The new UI is amazing. It reminds me of Capcom vs SNK 2 for some reason. The new intro video is awesome as well. Plus load times seem faster and Sakura is fun as always to play as. I'm really liking the updates. Just hit 120 hours and just about to try out arcade mode!

I don't see myself playing her much in ranked or anywhere. Her VTs are kinda boring too.

So would you rather have DLC Chars locked behind Real money wall like most other games do?

I'm not speaking to that in my post. My point was they created an in-game currency that is not divorced from real money in concept since some content can be purchased with both forms of currency, either real or this fake FM. Therefore, for those looking to buy content, burning FM away on some of these battles has an impact on the amount of real world money you might spend.

Yes, but it's still not real money.

Correct, it is not "real" money. It still holds value with respect to the content you can earn and saves you from spending real world money, right? Isn't that why people like it? Wouldn't you say 100k of FM is worth about $5-6 savings to you?

I haven't played in about a year and all my fundamentals are fucking shot. Even the grip on the stick is wonky now for some reason. I remember my combos but not the basics, I need some real reeducation.

Amazing. I was just playing Alpha arcade mode and thr Ken CPU tried to wake up with regular (non-EX) DP. Truly breathtaking how well they recreate a real Ken player's tendencies.

Wait what's the deal with the Viewtiful Joe mission? I did it once but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do it three more times.

Oro has been reference numerous times and has a voice actor and Necro got a model just like Alex. Has Dudley been referenced once?
Sean also appears during the story with a 3D model (close ups unlike Necro or Alex who only appear in backgrounds), and also saw him in other places like arcade mode endings. I think Sean and Oro are safe bets, even more considering they didn't appear in SFIV.

Man, as the game keeps liking to tell me. Everyone in casual is playing their main. Is no one not?
I'm guilty of this... I just use casual as another way to increase my chances of finding an online match, so basically casual and ranked all the same to me (until I go on a long ass losing streak, then it's just casuals)

Are people who purchased vanilla SFV stuck with the old icon and name on the PS4 or does it also apply to people who purchased the Arcade Edition? This is really going to bug me if it's the latter.

Steam owners of the season 3 pass: Do the bonus costumes show up in the Steam client's DLC tab for you, or is it something detected when you log in to CFN?

i'm kinda disappointed that completing arcade mode doesn't even yield 'some' experience points....

I stil just don't understand this game's tirals. Why don't they sometimes register, even if I did the combo correctly?

Which trial? Usually it's just down to missing something. Karin's in particular are picky because they require fastest Tenko; the combos can sometimes work with slightly slower Tenkos but it doesn't count.

Well fuck Karin's then. I can't do them any faster, if I input them even a milisecond faster, I get grab, cuz my game thinks I pressed buttons simultaniously. Whatever sweet spot between the two, my brain can't comprehend it and these combos in the trials are incredibly situational and silly anyway >_>

Does Laura have a new skill where she teleports forward? I noticed this one was doing that from time to time.

It wasn't a dash since she literally vanished out of frame for a sec and then reappeared.

So where's the best place to browse available mods for the PC version? I'm lapsed coming over from the PS4 and I'm already having a good time with all the stuff people have made, but right now it's like the Zeta boards that my browser is giving me a compromised notification on and a deviantart page.

This is the most active place for SFV modding as far as I know: http://modderbase.com/index.php

One small warning, the site is a bit NSFW as they allow nude mods be posted.

I can't confirm yet, as I'm waiting to see if GMG puts it up for sale, but fwiw the Chun-Li SFV pre-order battle costume bonus from the original launch shows up as DLC in the DLC listing, meaning it's accessible by a family-shared account. The costume bundles, even those with included stages behave the same.

I already own vanilla SFV. I don't own any character packs. Im thinking of just picking up AE, does it come with the stages already released as well?

Blanka's an awesome character. He's who I'm most excited for this season.
His play style will be unique to the game at least. Can't wait to play as him online. Hope he has some really obnoxious costumes :)

Ha, and just a few hours after I wrote this I get my wish. That Blanka doll costume is amazing!

Love arcade mode. So much nostalgia. Played through SF2 mode with Chun and got a Shin Akuma battle after Bison, not sure what triggered it. He destroyed me but I still got 5 or 6 pieces of art.

The new golden aesthetic is awful, and most of the V-Trigger 2 animations I've seen so far have been terrible as well. I can probably get used to all this, but the first impressions are really bad right now.

Since I havne't played a character with shoryu in ages, I am having insane troubles confirming crounching light punch into shoryu. I either end up with a fireball, or negative edge a shoryu eating up my first lp input entirely. Any advice on the execution? PS4 controller.
