I stopped playing Street Fighter V a while ago, and I never really got past Ultra Silver. I picked it up again and I'm having way more fun with Championship Edition. However, I went to a weekly last night for the first time in a while and got absolutely smoked. It was not great. Would anyone legit good like to play some matches later today and maybe help me pinpoint where I really need to improve?

What's MVCI's lobby system like?
You can have up to 4 fights going on simultaneously with the option of making one of the sub-sections into an online training mode.

Cool, hopefully with SF6 they dump unreal engine and go with RE-engine so the entire game doesn't need redownloading for updates

Or they just use a newer version of Unreal. Soulcalibur VI uses a newer version of UE4 and its patches are only a few hundred megabytes on average.

Why on earth is this update 25GB...didn't we already have all the characters/costumes/stages and stuff downloaded, even if we haven't paid to unlock it?

But they didn't fix it did they? At least not in a way that could be reconciled with SFV. Otherwise I wouldn't be redownloading the entire game for each patch.
You posted about the patch size issue as if it were an inherent, unfixable feature of UE4 just to show how superior RE Engine supposedly is, and I pointed out that it was long since fixed in Unreal, using another fighter as an example. It's not Unreal's fault that Capcom can't be assed to update SFV's version of the engine to one that has the fix.

Yeah, that makes sense. Even in the best case scenario and SF6 gets announced within the next few months (which I doubt), SFV would still have a year+ of life left.

A formal next gen port seems slightly weird when they'll be backwards compatable. But then we have no idea how developers will handle that yet and the fast loading will be nice. Still, makes sense to port it like they did with SF4 at the start of this gen.

I know playstation helped with the initial budget and marketing and don't seem attached anymore. Would this be a port mainly for the next xbox?

The deal with Sony might only apply to current-gen consoles, who knows.

Load times for matches will stay the same, though.

I imagine the PS5 version will just basically be a repackaged Champion Edition with everything on the disk. Not really a new version besides maybe better load times and using PC max settings. PS4 version of SF5 will still work with backward compatibility.

Finished downloading the update. Looks like there's a new blue/red splash screen, but otherwise no other UI changes. Seth still not selectable, so we'll probably have to wait until the servers are back. Apparently the update only added ~735 MB to the total size, so I don't think there are any hidden surprises.

Has there ever been official confirmation of the terms of Street Fighter V's exclusivity? I really hope it's time limited or something because expanding the player base to other consoles would be wonderful, especially if the netcode patch stabilizes crossplay.

Plus lunchtime training mode on Switch would be cute.
