Official Bitching Thread

[L KIRA HAYABUSA]

Welcome to the bitching thread, where you can complain all you want over Street Fighter III!

I've just started to play ranked matches and so far I'm hating it! Everyone keeps spamming fierce attacks and shoryuken with Ken!


....Still love this game to death though.

And what's with the "Pocket Full of Quarters" achievement not popping. I beat it with two characters and nothing. One of which was without continuing. What gives?

[OrchestructionX]

It worked fine for me, try reinstalling 3S?

No Dipswitches is what I've heard.

Like older fighting games, Arcade Mode is too hard, even on the lowest setting. 1-star is equivalent to Medium in SSF4.

I wish they had cleaned up some of the old audio. There's alot of noise in there and sometimes it's ear piercing.

Ranked matchmaking could've been better. If someone else joins the same room that you're trying to join, then it just hangs for like ten seconds before kicking you back to the main menu saying the game is no longer available, then you repeat this for like ten minutes before you can find a match.

Uploading to match server is borked wtf D:

It would've been nice if the vault had some things other than artwork. The remixed music is nice, but I would've liked to have had some avatar awards, or dashboard themes and junk like that.

Why don't replays show player names? That is silly.

360 doesn't have YouTube uploading yet. sadface. YouTube uploads look like crap anyway judging from the PS3 version. sadfacex2.

- Issues when playing with a controller (d-pad doesn't feel responsive and some trails are impossible)
- Ranked matches take too long to seek opponents (I have an open NAT)
- STILL LAGGY!! I have played 3 tournaments all matches online except for 2 have had bad lag (capcom can never develop a good lag solution)
- Cannot upload replay to server

Ranked match issues really bother me.

1.This game isnt meant to be played with a pad controller.Unlike SF4 this was made to be played with the stick back in the day

2.I agree.

3.About 24 hours and I'm yet to experience any kind of lag(I only play against green so that might explain it).

4.I dont really care about that since I have capture card,but the video quality is baaaaad.


My biggest complain about this is the neverending Ken army that apparently came from SF4.

[DarkSephiroth]

Pretty much what everybody else is saying:

1. Ranked; searched for many hours and only get to play 6 matches (open NAT)

2. Vault; only simple stuff and not even that much, took me these 2 days to buy everything from the vault...

3. Main menu music; propably the most annoying piece of music I have ever heard and you have to listen to it non-stop. Thank god I have lots of music on my HDD because my head was going to explode after half hour listening that song!

4. Server still not up!!!

I may not play this game as much as I was going to because of the never-able-to-join-ranked-matches, laginess and good-to-non challenges (except trials)

Thats 6 more matches than I have been able to find! I am really disappointed in the fact the servers arnt up and obviously the ranked problem. I was really pushing yesterday to get one of the 1st 200s but that has been severely hampered by these online problems and its kinda pissed me off a bit! Especially since its sf3....ONLINE!

Other than that, what a game!!!! absolutely love it!

I know he is,but its just annoys me that 7/10 my games have been against Ken and most of em have been playing like this is SF4.Its easy wins for me sure but damn it gets boring to beat him so many times.

Was SF4 meant to be played on pad? It was originally an arcade game, took seven months for a console version to come out.

Main gripe with this game is how little hitstun aerial attacks deal, I'm finding the hardest part of some trials to be connecting the first ground hit after the jump in. Not that that's all that bad a thing as it'll make me jump less which will help me in the long run, but aerial attacks just don't seem that viable at the moment (I know absolutely nothing about competitive SF3, I'm sure they probably have their uses).

[M1 Punk]

When you're looking for a custom Endless Battle in SSF4, the game shows you like 8 options and you can also see the Host's connection and nationality. That makes picking your lobby much easier.

In 3rd Strike, none of that and it's just a hit or miss. If the lobby you join are full with people with a red ping, you may as leave and wait another 20 sec. for the screen to load the hosts.

I would say no 2D fighting game is ever meant to be played on a pad, you're right to question that guy's logic. That being said, Capcom went through great lengths with SFIV to make input forgiveness the most lenient in the series (through ignores,auto-correct, and shortcut commands), so, I'm sure they had them in mind more so than ever before.

[Plym]

How can people even complain about The Vault?
This is an added extra that Capcom worked hard to put in this new version, they didn't even have to! Some people will bitch about anything.

well said.

complaining about the lag and the ranked issues is one thing but some guys here seem to be complete crybabys who simply suck at this game and want us to know that its the games fault.

edit:

@strid hahahah thats great xD especially if you look on the second page the post from "sirAugustus" LMAO

Which, funnily enough, came from people watching Daigo play as Ken in third strike.

[Didi Mau]

Is there a search by region option that I'm missing somewhere? I get a huge list of player lobbies to join but when I do so (which can take a while by itself), they end up being players from Japan with red connections. When I press the Y button on the lobby list to look at the host's gamertag to find out their location, the Xbox gives me a completely different gamertag and it's aggravating me.

No input display option in training mode sucks as well, the save state option is nice though.

How can this game be so glitched, you cant even upload to youtube. Ranked matches even after patch take about 5 mins then times out or session isnt available. What a waste of 1200 points. This was a great game ruined

This is what I love about these bitching threads, someone always comes to bitch about bitching!

And just want to make things clear, I think vault is awesome. I was just dissapointed that I have maybe done 25-30% of all the challenges overall and already bought everything. Vault either needs more stuff or could have had higher costs.

[Plym]

There's no way 25% of VP available will buy everything in The Vault, that's just complete crap.

[DarkSephiroth]

well little to non ranked challenges, no replay challenges, only one tournament challenge and about 20-30% singleplayer challenges, arcade completedd with only 2 characters (no never-lose-a-round-challenge), most of the offline multiplayer challenges but hey that was just my quess about the %. Could be more but my point WAS I have propably done under half of the all the challenges and it was enough to buy everything. Because there is no way to see the exact amount I have done in %, I'm just going to leave this here

Off Topic: I heard they had ranked patched out, can't wait for tomorrow to test it out

There hasn't been a patch yet to fix ranked matchmaking. The first TU was only said to address the issue with replays, not matchmaking. In the update for that TU, the message posted to announce it, it mentioned matchmaking, but not when it would be patched, just something to the tone of "some day".

[KingBroly]

Let's see...

Matchmaking
- Getting into a Ranked Match takes forever and a half.
- Ranked Matchmaking is by far inferior to HDR, a product released at least 3 years ago; which allowed for filtering of Ping, Country and had a list of potential opponents.

Arcade Mode
- You can't set Arcade Mode to 1-round matches, or reduce the time limit
- The difficulty curve in Arcade Mode flat out sucks. I know it was released a while ago, but it's still no excuse to force me to rely on cheap tricks and repetition in order to have a shot.
- Gill is just...fuck Gill, okay? I could devote an entire thread to his BS, but he wins in every scenario and goes insane if you stop a resurrection. Just crap. If you don't have a Top Tier character or a familiar character, you've pretty much lost the war against him.

Trials Mode
- Trials are practically useless, as they don't give you any indication of how you're supposed to do anything, particularly Parries. I had to look up online what a Red Parry was. That's how useless the game is at telling you things.

Replay Mode
- You have to filter to get anything decent, and they don't seem to list the most recent stuff when you do a basic search.
- Uploading to Youtube is a nice novelty, but on 360 it's bad since I can't upload it to my own channel. On PS3 I can. Why can't I do this on 360, Capcom/Microsoft? Why?


Yeah, that's about all I can say. At least you can attempt to boost for 5 Ranked Wins in a row. But it seems like it'd take a while to do.

In fairness, they tell you what a red parry is in the Advanced Moves section of How To Play. Some trials really could have used video explanations though, I would never have figured out Ken's final one without a YouTube video and it took a huge amount of trial and error on parry trial #6 to realise you have to input the parry before the super move begins the flash animation.

[The Stray]

Well, from what I've been checking lately, from release to now, it seems its stable for the time being, but at least there's nothing for be to bitch on, except the occasional scrubs beating me, lol.

[BvH91]

Official bitching? WELL FUCK YOU GILL AND YOUR DOG AND YOUR MOTHER!

Fucking resurrections.
