Yay, pretty excited about tutorial mode, 8 people lounges and demonstrations.
Also good news that they're planning more stages besides the already announced new characters.
Now they need to add versus CPU mode, arcade mode and the full story mode in June and the game is pretty much perfect.

This is SUCH a clusterfuck... They can't even release DLC right. What is going ON?
Can't get the microtransations ready on time so fuck it offer everything for free... Wait people already paid? Fuck it give them access to one part that other people will get locked off from... Fucking hell.

What were you expecting?
You're complaining that people get to try out a character for free before buying. You're complaining that people that paid for access forever for those characters now get an added bonus of a stage.
X = Vs CPU
Training mode != X.
Just because you can "set the CPU to very difficult" in a training mode does not make that "Vs CPU".

Where is the negativity in this thread coming from? Holy shit.. The update that was suppose to come in March is indeed coming out in March. Everyone is getting Alex for free until Zenny is implemented. We get two free costumes and season pass holders are getting a new stage, Like.. what the hell were you guys expecting?
I don't get this logic. Sure it's a small gesture, but at the same time, they do recognize they messed up and are acknowledging it. They could have gave us nothing and carried on with business as usual.
I can understand wanting a little bit more for the "inconvenience" that was matchmaking/ server/ rage quits, but calling them "shit" for not giving what you feel is adequate enough is a bit much.
Trials are pretty awesome.
The tutorial looks great.
Alex is husbando, so can't wait to use him.
I'll appreciate being able to play with 2 or 3 friends in a lobby.
It's getting rid of OS stuff.
I'll be able to buy story outfits I want.
Patch certainly not worthless to me.
Except it's not a useless patch at all? Matchmaking has been improved since launch during server downtime, and the patch is providing people with a significant amount of content that should have launched with the game such as tutorials and 8 player lobbies.

GAF lobby is gonna be so lit
Connections were spotty before, I'm scared what spectating might do.

Lol, are you new to NeoGAF?
SF5 is the recent go to game for raging. Many of these people probably don't even play SF. You'll see random names drive-by post, and then you never see them again. That's how the typical SF5 thread goes.
I believe it's the Untattered Gi along with the brown SF Alpha/Zero hair
EDIT:
It's still tattered, but i think they are referring to tutorial mode. Or ken's flashback fight with him in his story.
Sounds great.
Do you enjoy being an overly dramatic drama queen, or nah?
Really feels like some people are just looking for excuses to be angry.
It was either release Alex for free temporarily or delay him until the paid shop is open. The former is a way better solution than the latter.
Season pass owners are not getting shafted. They're the only people who will permanently have the characters once the Zenny shop is implemented, and they're getting exclusive costumes and at least one stage.
They've already said they're working on rage quitters and the fix isn't ready yet. Which sucks, but at least they're upfront about it. They've been doing semi-frequent maintenance to fix netcode and matchmaking issues.
As someone who was SUPER pissed at Capcom at launch, I'm pretty okay with the way they're handling this. Or maybe my expectations were just way too low because I was half expecting the patch to be moved to April.

Regarding their rage quit solution - they actually say in the blog update that the long-term solution is being worked on & they'll let us know when its going in. This is the same thing they've told us since the beginning. Nothing has changed.

Any word on PC stick support?
And still no Alex trailer, c'mon Capcom.
Cool news albiet a bit disappointing how they don't have their all their systems in place yet. Also, I don't understand keeping character access once the free trial period ends for season pass owners. Doesn't the season pass unlock the chars automatically anyway lol?
More importantly, give us character themes in local versus please. PLEASE CAPCOM, I AM TIRED OF STAGE MUSIC.

This is the biggest issue with this "Patch", if it can even be called that...

It means players that buy it get access to it. As long as one player has it both players should be able to fight in it if the beta is anything to go by
Didn't see that. Edited my post for accuracy.
Still doesn't negate most of the other stuff I posted.
That would be fantastic.
What are premium costumes that we can buy? Are these the costumes that were exclusive to retailers?
The problem currently is, for us noobs, I get matched up with people with countless hours and rank playing this game and I get either super wrecked or I can't seem to eek out a win because of who knows what. And the pairings are always off. Why am I in shitty bronze dumb league and getting paired with Silvers?
Obviously there isn't enough people playing all the time to get matched properly and the people that are playing are the hardcore.
For me, the biggest win here is the rematching. Because getting paired against a Silver player that is playing a character I am not use to would go a long way to get better against that character during rematches.
But I will say this, if Killer Instinct PC runs out of the game perfectly on PC next week, SFV ain't going to stand a chance for my play time. Especially if the netcode is as good as it was on the XBONE.
SFV netcode is so bad. I hate it so much.

Spectating in the battle lounge will also be cross-platform right? I have friends on both PC and PS4. Would love for everyone being able to play together.
My issue is this. If you werent addressing any of those issues ("unforseen issues"), and the patch only has what was planned, they come off looking so bad that they had to work till basically the last day of the month to get ot ready, and that they couldnt implement it as said.
The look is that they are waaaay behind and everything is rushed. Its a bad look.
I had no issues with the game launching "incomplete", because it seemed they were organized and had a strong schedule and plan. I am heabily doubting that now
Yeah, it's a patch. A significant one. They're adding plenty of content, a brand new character and tweaking gameplay. Just because it doesn't fix specific things want addressed doesn't somehow change the definition of what a patch is.

Most of the people raging haven't even played the game or are "fans" who were never going to buy it in the first place because of reasons.
check out the OT, a lot more positive and still going strong even though it is in the community side now. It is almost a whole OT ahead of the division which is staggering considering the massive playerbase difference. Great community here on gaf but the haters just wait for these threads to pop up about sfv on gaf

This is gpnna be a thing in every sfv thread Isn't? We already knew what this patch was for.
Anyway what does alex usually play like sf fans?
There's plenty of people in Bronze/Super Bronze, I play against them in ranked all the time. The issue isn't a lack of players, it's that matchmaking based on skill is something that's often finnicky (not just in this game, SF4 and Pokken have it too). They're continuing to work on matchmaking so imagine it'll get fixed over time.
If the other player selects the stage and the other one doesn't own it, they instantly lose the match.
