With all the re-releases of classic fighting games with rollback netcode I wonder when they are going to do it for USF4.
I tried it recently and the netcode is just fucking terrible.
>>
USF4 will never get rollback because the entire community would go back to it right away. TNS did a USF4 a few months back with Jwong and Yipes on commentary and they were raving about how great USF4 was and how good it was to not have neutral skip slop
>>
>>733706643
If Capcom could somehow make USF4's net code just like SF6's then the game would be godlike.
I think the main issue here is how will Capcom re-sell the game, it's kinda already complete.
>>
>>733706787
That's just oldfags being faggots and using practical reasons to not play the game
UMVC3 gets regular tournaments on TNS and it's in the same boat when it comes to netplay

You can also look at how Xrd also got rollback and yet the population didn't increase at all
>>
>>733706797
yeah, tried playing against some dudes in my region and I had around 1 second delay for everything. it was awful.

sf4 was the start of neutral skip slop thanks to focus.
and it seems people forget you get 2 free ultras EVERY ROUND for losing.

also keep in mind sf4 re-releasing on ps4 did nothing.

however, even if you're not a fan of sf4, you gotta hate the fans for bailing near the end when the game started getting solved with proper setplay/oki.
this is when a game is the most competitive.

its also when a game shows its true colors and that was rather ugly for SF4. game only got shittier with AE and later and part of it was exactly because it got figured out better.

>>733713728
getting good in fg is boring that's the problem
>>
>>733713820
SF6 is dogshit and probably the worst fighting game ever made that doesnt change that nobody will ever return to SF4.
Everybody was fucking tired of it by the end of it and the nonsensical execution/setplay grind involved makes it too high maintenance to play when its not the current thing.
I see old games with no online at all get more play as side games at events than SF4.

Part of me wishes to see the epic SF4 rollback release just to experience the coping that would follow.

>>733706787
I truly believe that USF4 is probably the best competitive game in existence, but even if it gets a rollback netcode, at best it will be like 3rd strike in terms of revival. Fighting games people are all about the new hot shit in the market. Only a few go back. Besides, this "normification" SF6 introduced to the formula seems to be resonating to the next generation of fighting players, since they cannot pull a classic style combo to save their lives, and cant deal with neutral game thinking because they have short attention span

Also, zoomers today couldn't handle not having Modern controls, and would genuinely not believe the game would ask something as difficult as a 1-frame link in an age where new fighting games are coming out with 1-button special moves.

Idc about fighting game storylines personally but he never really stuck out outside of his kit. Now his kit? Bruh what were they smoking. Infiltration picked him for a high stake tourney just to abuse his st.lk lol

>>733720102
Im thinking from the way he was playing, he seems to be Alex's replacement, which kinda sucked, even if Alex had failed to become the new face of SF during 3rd strike
>>
>>733706787
The people who would go back to SF4 are already playing it. Everyone else either quit fighting games or decided to chase after money above all else.

They're done bringing back SF4 characters until the next game. You'll get El Fuerte or Hakan there

Nothing official, just a theory of mine based on Guile and Nash existence.
They tried to re-invent Alex somehow with Abel, but the result was lukewarm.
Personally, I like Abel as well.

>2 free ultras EVERY ROUND for losing
I dont see how is this bad? It was a comeback mechanic, and it was great. It would have been trash if you could do maximum damage from the start, but it worked great since the damage was tied to your health pool.
You want bad? Check how super meter works on SF6. Now you can store lvl3 super and get the chance to fuck up your opponent once the next round starts. It sucks
>>
>>733723954
Level 3s suck, and ultras suck. Both can be true. I like SF4 though but comeback mechanics are wack
>>
>>733706643
The most universally liked SF, and the one with by far the least amount of flaws outside of the netcode. However I still don't think it would get more than 1 active players on steam, most of the core playerbase has moved on, and new players want to play the newest games.

Also a lot of the flaws people come up with are just 16er memes used when there was gamewarring between 4 and 5. Like vortexes in USF4 are not even close to as bad as standard SF6 oki. Or that it was super unbalanced, when tons of the cast got played at high level. Watch any tournament from that time and it will probably be hype

i logged in yesterday and saw some people in the ranked and custom lobbies.
the entcode is probably the only thing keeping this game from having a healthy playerbase.
I wouldnt say thousands of people but if it ever gets fightcade tier numbers it would be enough for me.

Plenty of characters get used in comp. Just watch any Japanese competition.
>>
>>733726975
jap competitions are usually low stakes or have some sort ruling, like the team ones where you cant repeat characters.
also he is not that used there either and when he does he usually explodes.
>>
>>733726692
>You don't watch too many fightcade games do you?
I actually play once or twice every week. I dont know if tournaments are happening, so I dont see them. Yes, people will pick every character, but the most frequent picks are ken, then ryu then dudley and then urien. In fact, out of 5 games, the 3 of them will be with a ken player.
Thats my experience with 3rd strike on Fightcade
>>
>>733727593
Ryu and Dudley aren't eve top tier. Those getting picked is good.
>>
>>733727694
dudley is absolutely top tier in third strike dude
>>
I made people ragequit when i played a bit of 3s on fightcade as dudley because the timings on my bodyblow super varied each time. They couldn't punish me because of it. I used it as a means to get in/go through fireballs
>>
>>733727816
He has never been.
Top tier has always been Ken, Chun, and Yun.
Dudley has always been A tier. Not best but not bad.
>>
>>733727927
isnt A tiers also top tier?
he is no yun or chun but he is on the same level as mokoto, urien and yang
>>
>>733728000
S tier is top tier.
A tier is not best but not bad.
How do you not know this shit?
>>
>>733727694
People tend to master easy to learn characters on Fightcade. I have yet to meet a good yin/yun and chun-li player.
Ken players on the other hand(and some Uriens), are good because ken is almost top tier character, but he is easy to learn and play, and also does stupid good damage
When it comes to 3rd Strike, I personally classify the one half of the roster to "viables", and the other half "to unviables". Alex is an unviable character because he has no good counter attacks to get him out of hard spots, mid mix ups, cant keep up with fast characters, and his charged attacks are almost as easy to see and parry, as Q's charged attacks
>>
>>733728109
3S has actually the largest roster of viable characters.
The only person I haven't seen win shit is Sean.
Everyone else at least gets wins over the top tier characters.

It's good tier. S tiers are in a league of their own. A tiers can't compete with s tiers if both players are equally good>>733728000
>>
>>733728081
because every single tier list has characters in A tier as top tier and usually the S+ is for characters that are god tier kind of thing.

Id say its 70% viable and 30% unviable.
Everyone after Ryu cant really keep up with the A and S characters. Expect perhaps Hugo.
Hugo is a weird case, and I feel that he is not truly a low tier. He may have some shit attacks, and probably cant keep up with S tiers, but he can be dangerous in the hands of someone who knows how to play the game. For me he is B like ryu
>The only person I haven't seen win shit is Sean
I have seen 12s winning S tier characters, mostly because players are not accustomed to 12s playstyle. In any case, with the exception of hugo, the unviable characters cannot win a pro tournament
>>
>>733728642
hugo is just on low tier because some match ups are really hard. else a single parry sends niggas flying
>>
>>733728642
I've seen plenty of Qs and Twelves take out Kens and Chuns before.
The problem with S tier characters is the players get lazy because you don't have to be good to play them.
>>
>>733728784
>The problem with S tier characters is the players get lazy because you don't have to be good to play them.
Thats for ken only, hence why he is a favorite pick.
Yun has low health pool and difficult juggle combos (some good ones require the kara bug) and chun, while she is easier to learn than yun, she still requires some dexterity to use her. Yun and chun li are not easy to learn
>>
>>733729554
Chun is just like Ken in that she's braindead easy to play so you don't have to be good.
>>

anyone wanna play some third strike matches later?
