They did? I'm still seeing the old horizontal art in my library.Oh nice! They updated the STEAM Artwork
Just played a bunch of sets with a friend and fuuuuuck the online is so good.
Also I don't remember anything about Garou apparently.

Bah. Garou was one of (the only?) game in that bundle that didn't eventually get a Steam key alongside it. That's a shame.

There's a stream with the Garou game director discussing the game. Before they got started, he asked what everyone thought of the netcode.
I highly recommend any fans of this game to watch this. They currently are talking about unfinished Garou 2 stuff.
Anyone who doesn't own this yet should jump on this right now. It looks great on the vita, and it's crossbuy + crossplay.
Off-topic: SNK community manager will interview the SNK Sound Team on FEB 11th at 10PM EST. Apparently they will perform on stream and have recorded 6 exclusive tracks!
If Fightcade is any indication, then there of course will be a small community of players that sticks with this game until the end of the time.
Yeah, I know that, sorry, I meant here on Era. I encounter so many 10+ years players stomping me it's nice to play with people learning around the same time ^^
I mean it's an old game, so I'm not going to devote lots of lab time to it. But if anyone ever wants to play I'm down (PC).
As great as the netcode update was, it was never going to keep big numbers just due to how old the game is. They need to put it in new games if they want player retention, not old ones.

I agree on player retention, but I don't want big numbers anyway, doesn't matter to me, as long as I've got some pool with good connexion. I already encountered and added some randoms online, just wanted to see if there were some here with the same approach ^^
Unfortunately, we can't have concurrent player numbers on PS4. A pity only Steam is doing it.
How long has it been taking to find a match on PS4?
I'm not that great at traditional fighters, but the promise of good netcode and cheap price has me eyeing this. Would this be a good game to jump in with, from both a gampelay standpoint and community stand point? I'm assuming it's mostly vets online.

I usually find matches very quickly. You'll encounter many vets, yeah, but there is also an influx of new players due to the update and the promos.
Cool. I'll probably pick it up as it's $5, but I'm curious to see if it will stick for me. Only a few traditional fighters have.
Thanks for the info!
If you see no match don't be afraid to host a lobby. A lot of people like myself wait for one to show up.
I've surprisingly been having no trouble finding any rooms to join, but I'll keep this in mind once it starts to slow down.
Thanks! I'm beyond horrendous at it now, but if I get a little better I'll definitely want to check around this thread to see if anyone wants to play. At the moment, I'm really liking Gato.No problem, if you're on PS4, my ID is Hyunsai972

So does this at least improve the odds of King of Fighters getting Rollback? Maybe even Samurai Shodown?
Yasuyuki Oda still works there yep. Also the other person interviewed, Nobuyuki Kuroki, was Lead Character Designer behind Garou and still works there. Kuroki also promised before he retired (which he said would probably be in 10-15 years) Garou 2 would be made. So Garou 2 semi-confirmed.
For future titles it improves odds, but it's honestly probably too late for 15 and Samsho.
So, just curiosity, are you guys playing with stick dpad or analog sticks on controller.
I usually play with dpad (ds4) because my stick is old (ps3) and not all games support legacy and is a bit inconvenient to set up. Plus if i play at night my wife would kill me with the sound made by microswitches...

I liked 14 enough that I could really see myself getting into 15, but only if it has rollback. Otherwise, I'm not gonna support it.

No, the only way I'd have been able to play that person without rollback netcode is if he was a friend and I invited him to a room. He was just a random person I got matched with.
There is this thread though which has an example of delay based netcode versus rollback netcode over the same poor connection:
An example of how (good) rollback netcode can make high ping connections playable in fighting games
There's something very wrong with my friend's internet connection. He's using his landlord's internet via wi-fi which is obviously less than ideal, but I see no reason why we should be experiencing ping over 300+ (according to the games - probably not totally accurate) when we live less than...

Following those guidelines definitely improved my experience. I think the little problems I had before were due to me using incorrect settings.
It's incredible how I can play against people from europe with ease, being in the Caribbean.
I'm considering jumping in. I'm not really good at fighting games, and I've never played Garou. But I really like playing them and improving a little. The game is cheap enough on Steam even full price. The only reason I didn't buy it when it was on sale earlier was because I thought I already owned it from an old NEOGEO humble bundle. It's actually in the bundle, but it didn't have a steam key.
edit: the bundle was in 2015, a year before Garou launched on Steam, so that explains no steam key.

It's on GOG for 1.79 € so I finally jumped in (I didn't because I already have it for Switch, but I've been aching for some SNK online play lately)
Is there crossplay between Steam and GOG versions?
