Would be neat, with the story mode in, I'm now more or less ready to get the game, still wouldn't hurt to save a couple bucks.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jun 27, 2016, 06:58 PMFunny thing is, out of 44 characters in Ultra, only maybe 15 got used.  Why put them all in haphazardly?  Hell out of the 18 characters in the game now, only 4 are used.  Of those 4 they all happen to play the same which leads to "all characters play the same".  No, only 4 characters play the same, everyone just picks those same 4 characters.  Too many followers in NA, it's why Japanese players always win tournaments.  On another note, Tokido destroyed Infiltration yesterday.  Holy shame.  He parried Nash's command throw super.  Crazy shame.  
The fact that this stuff only pops up in r/PS4 threads and not in places like r/streetfighter or something comparable, really shows that it's really just casuals asking these questions. More core players seem to realize that it would not only be boring to only always have the same characters in every game from the get go, but that with a huge roster a lot of fighters it would be difficult for not a lot of characters to be similar and for most people to not just stick with the small subset of top tier characters.

Also yeah, I didn't watch it myself, but I see a lot of positivity around the tournament online, apparently the best SFV tournament yet.

Yeah they had Xavier Woods from WWE and Kenny Omega from New Japan Pro Wrestling at the event.  Kenny Omega is actually pretty good.  He even customized his fight stick.  I didn't watch too many matches though.  I missed most of Saturday and Sunday.  But I caught that final.  It was crazy.  Like, Tokido made Infiltration his baby.

I see a lot of FGC people complaining on Shoryuken and stuff.  New character comes out "I don't like this character, when's X coming?".  "I sold my copy, it's boring, I'm going to stick with Killer Instinct".  Really? Killer Instinct?  The game that released with 9 characters and has been overcharging you with every "season" and has nothing else in it.  The best is "They made Street Fighter 5 too easy to execute moves... praise King of Fighters 14 for making it easier to execute moves."  Really?  You're praising one game for the stuff you're shitting on the other for?  Also did you ever stop to think there's a reason no one plays Ultra anymore?  Hell Marvel gets more play and that game's broken as shame.  "When is this game going to die?"  Seriously?  The fighting game community dies with Street Fighter.  Mortal Kombat is dead.  Killer Instict is dead.  Blazblue, Guilty Gear, KOF are niche fighters that don't perform well.  Hell SNK gave Atlus publishing rights to KOF because it makes no money.  Tekken is on a huge decline that Tekken 7 may or may not fix.  Virtua Fighter is dead.  DOA is dead.  Smash is the only thing that isn't dead and unless you're a brainwashed Nintendo fan (You have to be since you still play Melee), Smash is nothing more than an elaborate game of pinball.

Haha, yeah the fighting game community is a weird one, I've seen them complain about SFV so much in the last couple months and talk about how all these games are so much better (aside from Smash and MK, they apparently hate those even more), but when it comes to actually switching to those titles nobody apparently actually does it.

Well Fred Dutton pretty much confirmed the japanese game sale will indeed start later this midnight
Doesn't mean SFV will be a part of it but I bet it will
I have my eyes on bigger priority games though so I think i'll have to wait until even longer for this one, unless none of those games are on sale but this one is

You can't play it.  It's a "pre" download.  Where you download something before you download it.

8.1GB of pre-download? What a shame :(

I found it on the website. Could not find it in the PS4 store.
