Street Fighter VI

[MrKirov]

Capcom have announced a hotfix happening.... now- for two hours. This will resolve the Rashid glitch, and the newly discovered JP glitch (you can move during his full screen command grab)

Two hours and should be problem solved.

I faced Rashid for the first time last night. I countered by beating him up well before he got his level 2 or could use it

I assume this is unintentional and not what is supposed to happen and if so how did this get past the internal test team.

That’s crazy good was spotted early.

Following the patch and the hotfix that followed shortly thereafter, tournaments were meant to be back to operational. I came on to try them out today but they still aren't in a great spot. The event desk was clearly very crowded for this purpose, and when I went over there I got errors (at least two different codes) trying to register. After many, many tries, it registered! Ok, maybe it's just in hot demand. It was scheduled for 12:00 on Europe 006. I joined the server, saw the "tournament begins in 35 mins" notification, all was looking rosy. Then, the server crashed and booted everyone. Europe 007 started filling up with people reporting the same issue and being very confused as to what was happening. By the time 006 was back online, the tournament had already moved into the "Past Events" section of the menu, despite it still being prior to the intended start time, and not a single match being played. The Iron and Bronze ones looked like they were going ahead ok, but all other leagues don't appear to have another lined up until 20:00 tonight.

We're currently investigating an issue causing Battle Hub tournaments in #StreetFighter6 to not start properly. During the investigation future tournaments will be temporarily suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience.

Thank you #StreetFighter6 fans for your patience! We've implemented some countermeasures to take care of the server load during sign-ups that was causing issues with the Battle Hub tournaments.

The time and date of the scheduled tournaments is now 7/27 Midnight PT.

10:06 AM · Jul 27, 2023

We've discovered a seperate issue preventing the July 27 midnight tournament from running properly. We are working on a fix, and once preparations are complete we'll announce when the next tournament will be. Thank you once again to all #StreetFighter6 fans for being patient.

In short: still broke.

I remember playing tournaments during the beta. Surprised that it is so broken in the actual production release.

As per usual no YouTube music, I was going to just outright buy it but noticed the UK price is twice that is the US. $35 V £57.

.... the ****?!

damn why no YouTube music?

I ask that myself all the time, it is so useless for things like new releases.

Qobuz have it for a much more friendly price of £17.23. That Steam price has to be an error.

Street Fighter 36th anniversary themed battlepass this month.

Street Fighter 36th anniversary themed battlepass this month.

Conflicted, because on the one hand, it's nice not to be fleeced by Capcom.

But we're not being fleeced purely because I think everything they've offered on the battle-pass so far is trash.

[wargame]

I don't mind the battlepass it gets me to go to the Battle Hub and take a break from endless Rank. You only need to pay once and get your fighter coins back each time, usually takes 10-14 days to complete.

It's the music mainly that makes me get it I know at some point they will add a jukebox function.

For those doing the BP there is lots of Kudos up in the new challenges, 2000 for winning 30 BH matches.

[MrKirov]

I’ve enjoyed the battle passes so far! Low cost on the initial one, and I’ve gotten my coins back at the end of each one meaning I’ve gotten all three for just the cost of the first, and if it continues this way, there’s no need to pay more.

The content isn’t amazing, but gives you a little meta game and reward for playing, gives you reason to do the challenges and do things you probs wouldn’t do just playing ranked and casual.

Speaking of which, I’m a single win away from Diamond. Great news, apart from the past week in ranked has been miserable. Towards the end/in plat 5, the player base is becoming extremely toxic tbh.

Teabagging, quitting, leaving after single wins or losses, gimmicks. Anything you can think of really.

If it wasn’t for the… 5 disconnections I had I’d already have gotten out of plat. Sucks that they lose points but you don’t get your win if they quit. Can’t believe after all these years, fighting games haven’t standardised this stuff.

I get at the end of a tier, people are going to be precious about protecting their points, but it’s kinda sucking the fun out of ranked at the moment. Just feels like if you can’t keep up regularly in the class/tier you’re in, one and done ing or defending your points ain’t gonna help you.

It’s almost as if we need some kind of invisible level up/points system really. Make it the exact same but have it not shown, so people don’t get so protective? I dunno.

I’ve started to notice a lot more modern players too. Honestly I’m not sure 20% damage is enough of a detriment though, it’s a struggle fighting someone who can perfectly punish every jump in, or zone perfectly, or react DI and Level 3 perfectly every time. I Definately find it tough!

[hudson]

I think if you've got yourself to in reach of Diamond (and congratz on that btw!), I think having a break or even just continuing to play ranked and not be too precious about those losses causing you to drop down a rank. I think you can just get back there in no time. Every match will be personal XP. Try and enjoy it. I mean, I say that, but I know how much of a wind up it can be when you're so close and then you go on a losing streak. It's the approach I try to take. It's not a sprint, it's nice, sweaty, nerve wrecking time... ahem

[Asura]

I don't get what Capcom mean about "rank down protection". How does that work? Because I slid from gold back to silver at one point before coming back up.
