We had lols last night trying to install this, many problems - we gave up and played HDR instead. Anyway, this is live now!

I'm not going to complain about free stuff, but tbh not particularly hyped about any of the changes in this.
Uhh, yep...
Updated last night, PS3 update had no problems. I just like the fact that character selection in graded matches is double blind ;D
This is shit.
You can't make your own private tournament >:(. All this is is a updated ranked mode with blind select.
The replays so far are pretty shit. They load super quick and have a awesome slow mode (plus you can skip the introduction animations) but the matches them self are not very awe inspiring. They must record the input codes of each player and then upload them to the server, then when you go to watch it you just end up downloading the inputs and then the game uses those inputs collected to replay the match. Really good considering its not a "video" of some sort that would use up shite loads of bandwidth.
Utter shite!

Co-sign,
The video system is pretty worthless. You can watch a match but you can't bookmark it or save it. So what's the point?
At least the Xbox version you can save replays slow it down etc.
Also the PS3 icon thing is annoying and stupid. entries 10 each for each match max I reckon. People are just mashing buttons while watching replays. And the sound is fuckin' annoying.
The tourney modes fun though. I was on 1:30 in the morning with 3 other guys with a decent connection. Elimination_ would always peace me out in the semis :/
I have to admit, the tournie mode is pretty fun. Nice to see real results on your win, too bad you can't choose which match goes to the Server. My 2nd match was crazy intenese against Ziggy Oz, but the one that was uploaded made me look like a poo bum :(
This post from Mr Wizard is interesting:

I wonder what else happened to the game.
I can understand them rebalancing the console exclusive characters, i would almost go so far as to say thats 'fine' But they should NOT be touching any of the physics to do with the arcade roster. Making the console version different to the arcade version is stupid. I dont want to see it become like MVC2 PS2 version.
wtf...!
Maybe they're hinting at making a SF4:Super Turbo...lol
You never know ::) ::)
least we didnt hav to pay for it tho. tht costume idea? paying for sumthing tht is already on your game jus so u can use it. hard times i guess, but is it really in this industry? even snk managed to get bak on ther feet. mind you that was a while ago nw. ryo + robert = dan. yo yea!
i cant seem to get any decent connections over 2 bars .
im trying to update it. and then it keeps fucking up... i hate my stupid gay connection
Random connection question: Where can i see how strong my own connection is? Theres a big blank space in the matchup screen next to my name (where, on the opponents area, the connection is showed) I don't even have the flashing aerial icon that seems to indicate a bad connection.
Or is the connection bar just an indicator of general connectivity between the two players?

Now that im on Gold i actually CAN. I was on silver before. I was trying to invite people myself the other day, but it was greyed out and i couldnt. So after about 20 really REALLY scrubby matches against randoms with low connectivity, i ragequit.
Also the update lets you see what country your friends are from and what people's DISCONNECT RATIO is.
I still don't understand how this thing works. :/
It's just a normal player vs player battle, but people get separated into grades during their tournament, so finalists can only play other finalists, 1st rounders can only play 1st rounders etc. There's nothing stopping you playing the same person multiple times during the tournament if they progress to your level before you find someone else to play.
yea they should of gave you bp for this. i mean wtf . gp,bp,cp? and now its harder to find matches because they split the people between the two modes. i would be way better ranked if icould be fucked searching for atleast 2 bar matches for fucken aaaaages .
I have have played one match and won. Does that mean it doesn't matter when I play the next match I will still keep my place and just wait until there is a connectiom with another player that fits the corresponding criteria?

Precisely
I lost the only one i played because due to the WORST lag ive ever had in anything, i couldnt punish. Whiffed HP tiger uppercut, i go in for a combo starting with a HK, ken stands there...waits.....eats another HP tiger uppercut. Opp whiffs another one, i go in mashing the hell out of the jab button, ken stands there....waits.....eats a lvl2 FA -> ultra.
This is where i stopped and taunted for the rest of the match. Which didnt matter, since ken physically couldnt MOVE at all.
yea so how much gp yall got i got like 1800 but goes up least 200 a day because its still so easy i hardly ever lose if i do luckily its in the first match mostly because i'm fuckin around . I just take 1 bar matches now who cares i still win, just spam the fuck out of stupid moves and they walk into it because of the lag lol .
I lose to the scrubbiest bullshit ever, so I'm only at like 1600.

lol atleast your honest i lost to a flowchart ken once.man it was so funny.yeah he was probally the best flowchart ken in the world lol
I'm sitting around 1500 somewhere. I haven't done a ranked match since Champion Mode got released though. I was up about 2500 but lost a shitload trying to get my Abel competitive :-[

yeah lol thats what happened to me when i startd practicing with my dictator went from 3000bp to 2600 in like 2 minutes lol. my gp is already 2000 and i just posted i had 1800 like 20 minuets ago
Yeah he's talking GP not BP. My BP is like 10 or something, only ever found 2 ranked matches with more than 2 bars.
Bro get this i just had a match with some blanka player and in the final round we double ko'd, he was doing electric and i did EX headstomp. Then it said both of us go to 3rd battle i was like yeah cool that sounds about right, then after i won my next match it said go to 2nd battle i was like WTF stupid cpu doesnt know what its on about mate.
Lol, I'm on 2300 GP. Still waiting for you mofoos to get up to me :P (XBL people)
this works totally different to how I thought. Better though! I was thinking you have to set an hour or so aside before you play and you had to wait for all the other matches to climb the ladder. :/
Yeah, it's not really a tournament as such, but I guess it works better for an online thing like this. The only downer is how much it segregates the people that ARE online, which is pretty fatal for somewhere as small as us - somehow I'm still getting more games than I ever did in ranked mode though.
far when you get to G2 it gets way harder i just won a championship and the total CP at the end was a whopping 40,000 and i still only got 105 GP 's thought. the people with over 3000 are good . its about time i was getting bored
Ill get up there once i
A) Stop sucking
and
B) Find matches with more than one bar.

Went from 800 to 2600 gp last weekend, met lots good players, system even auto uploaded my 1st replay which ranked No.8 and I had no idea how the hell it happened...
Nice going Fearless. I thought that none of us would get another reply (or even A reply for those who have none :'()
Is it that I'm getting dumber or just more out of touch? I don't know what the hell anyone is talking about anymore.

Dumber IMO. :P
At higher levels i think it auto-uploads a replay of your match. But apparently fearless is the only one professional enough for that at this stage.
Stu has a replay uploaded, but apparently it sucks...
I think the first time you are eligible for a replay upload it does it automatically.

yeah it does it automatically but what sux about it, its a replay if it sux the player sux . hey how do you find it mine got uploaded yesterday but i checked ranking and my rank in replays and shit. i'm at 2700 now ,its starting to get boring though to easy.
hey any of you's know how to look at your own replay, i got 3200gp and besides i saw it say ''uploading replay'' and its not in the new replays or normal replays in both categories top rank and friends. Or maybe you just cant view your own only your friends,vice versa.

nevermind i found it lol. it was probably just taking a while to upload
Fuck. I have like, 140 because i can NEVER find a decent match.
I had 3 DIFFERENT people today, who i beasted in round one, and got the upper hand in round 2, only to have them fucking disconnect. THREE PEOPLE.
If not this shit then theres lag. Am i better off just playing on the weekend?
I don't really have much problem finding people, I'm usually on ~9:30 onwards some nights, and randomly on weekends...

damn i'm gonna pretend i didnt see this lol, nah jokes.Yeah i rekon most people on this site(Lenny,hydro,toomeke, etc)could get that easy if we could put up with laggy as fuck matches.i played a ryu yesterday that had 11500gp and beat him with dictator,just throwing and wakeup ex headstomp and beat him easy, nearly perfected him and i've been owned by ryu's with 2000gp.Played a flowchart ken today with 7500gp and you can guess what happened, I LOST, lol nah jokes he got served.you could go up a thousand a day easy if your good or even if you just play championship mode over and over excepting 1 bar matches and what not.
I'm now at 1950 or so...
I just don't get enough matches in. I can't even go up 1k in a week!
