No way. Many of the changes in SC6 patches seem like the dev team doesn't understand how these characters play (or focused around online nerfs that don't need to happen). Plus, they made big changes way too early to the point where many competitive players still don't know some matchups.
Just checked out the new colors. There's some nice ones in there. They need to make it so we can select any of the four colors as a base when making a CaS version of the SC characters.
The Japanese website put up a list of all the new DLC, if you haven't seen it yet. There's a few good pieces. (Thankfully a new sexy set of underwear for the men. Of course the ladies get five, but it's better than nothing.)

Watching NLBC and WNF last night, it seems like tournament players are pretty happy about the patch. I'm also generally pretty happy. Slightly jelly of azwel and his 3 new moves. Apparently there were like 140 hitbox fixes, jeez. Doing hitboxes for a 3d fighter sounds like a nightmare compared to 2D.
But there is a mod for the PC version for sc2 or sc3 music
Nope. I would probably pay 7 bucks for this armor pack if there were no armor and it was just sc2/sc3 music haha

Just a heads up for North Americans. The new DLC pack is up on the PSN Store, but they screwed up its placement. It's not available via search or on SCVI's game page, you can only find it in the "What's Hot > New Add Ons" section.
Amusingly enough, it was the other way around for me (Japanese account): the new add ons section somehow was completely empty, and I had to look for the game page to find the new DLC. Reminder #48 that the Japanese store is garbage.
I feel like every single time new DLC comes out PS4 players are having trouble downloading it
Anyway I went through the music to put songs on my stages, and while sc3 definitely had some bangers, basically every single song from the SC2 OST was top-tier except for voldo's. I think that must be the musical high-point of the series.

So did someone forget to disconnect their controller or something? That menu popup/rematch is rough.
Probably. That's usually what it looks like when that happens. Saw another tourny recently where someone thought to disconnect the controllers ahead of time, and he had to manually desync 15 controllers.
depends on the time of day obviously a bit but usually I get people around the rank of my character and doesn't really take long to search of course you get the occasional your character is in D ranks you fight someone with B2 followed by a match vs someone in G4
This is not true. Obviously a LAN connection is ideal, but I can play against wifi players in MK11 without much issue. Same goes for wifi in SC6 as long as the bars are there for a good connection. DOA6 on the other hand... I wouldn't touch a wifi connection in that game.
What's your standard for connections in fighting games? Do you mind a little bit of lag or are you an offline tournament player who needs it to be as close to offline as possible? Even in the best conditions SC6 doesn't have great online, but I don't find much different between wifi and LAN opponents so long as it's at least a 4-bar connection.
I can deal with the occasional pause for buffering but anything that lasts more than three seconds and happens more than twice drives me up the wall.
I rarely see pauses for buffering in SC6. The match may run slow, but that's generally the kind of latency I get. When I play some friends who I know are on wifi, it's just a little slower than a LAN connection, but there isn't a noticeable difference IMO (and I'm very picky about my netcode). Like I said, I don't think SC6 netcode is all that great no matter the connection, but I don't think there's a significant difference between wifi and LAN for this game.
Hmm.
Well, I think I'll get around to it once I clear out some of my backlog, and maybe by then I'll splurge on an ethernet adapter (though my modem is in another room so I think I'm screwed either way). I wanna get Samurai Shodown when it comes out too.
This decision would be so much easier if they brought back Hwang. Love that dude.
Amy's a lot of fun in this. Just wish I could find people who'll rematch (went against players who were only sprouts with their respective characters as I am with her now, but neither stuck around after I won 3-0 on both occasions and it's taking forever to find anyone else).

If your controller is wired there's no need to de
The good news is SC and Samsho are more lag tolerant than most fighters. As for Hwang, if S2 is announced he's very likely (small chance it's Yunsung instead)

I'd say it's the other way around. After Cassandra, Yun is by far the most voted for character not yet in the game. He was higher than 7 characters on the main roster. And even though I don't agree with people using the poll to rank actual popularity, it is very apparent that Namco has so far based their character choices on it.
And even though he doesn't appear in the game like Hwang does, he does get name dropped a few times.
He does? I could've sworn he had vanished entirely without a single mention anywhere in the new timeline, Mi-Na and Talim's Chronicles of the Sword stories included (I just may have not played the parts of the story where people actually mention him yet, if that's the case).
Hwang or Mi-na name drop him in Libra of Souls at one point. And there's a library entry for him.
Ah, definitely hadn't reached that point in Libra of Soul yet. And don't know how I completely forgot his museum entry.Hwang or Mi-na name drop him in Libra of Souls at one point. And there's a library entry for him.
EDIT: Extremely late edit, but turns out that I didn't forget it so much as missed it altogether because it's the only entry I'm missing (I have the other 35 on that list).

I haven't played very much of this game over the last few months thanks to what I consider to be terrible patches, but today I decided to jump back on since I have a local on Saturday and I don't want to be super rusty.
It's been almost an hour and it's found two opponents. Same issues I had at launch that still haven't been fixed... yet they can completely retool characters with tons of patches? Priorities...

Oh no doubt! Raphael especially, can't believe that guy's not banned from the series already! Damn esports tryhards!
One of my proudest gamer moments was getting some guy to actually call the TO over at some SC5 local to try to get me DQed for spamming. I don't even remember what made him so mad, but his anger gave me life.
Jeo was the only person I've seen since NEC who knows the Azwel matchup. He even GI'd Azwel's 6BB on reaction, which I never see (outside of my locals) and he BODIED Sandman because of it. Glad to see Azwel get exposed. Chat still thinks he's top tier though lol.
Is 6BB his double axe slash thing? I fucking LOVE doing X's aGI on that thing. Easy lethal hit combo.
It was a welcome surprise to see at least one player on stream fight Azwel effectively.
Yes. Imput are simple, rules are simple, and you can have fun from the get go. There's a lot of solo content, too.
Was going to buy Tira eventually and had occasional issues with the matchup anyway, so I finally got that out of the way. Fortunately I actually like her so far, so thankfully I can say that it amounted to more than me being a completist and this has been one of the only character seasons in a fighter without any duds for me.
Going by past character DLC releases, I wouldn't be surprised to see Cassandra by next month (2B was two months after Tira, and Amy was three months after 2B, with it almost having been another three months since Amy).
