mvc3 vita is full of rage quitters. I go on to test bs teams (KBR). Connection can be good enough to play decently. I have seen people do Magneto's bnb on the vita online. But it can also get very bad since it is wifi only.

Umvc3 can be active and at the same time can be dead. Its hit/miss with more misses lately.

yea i can see all the rage quitting...probably most of the vita players are casuals.

Professor at the MMCafe just posted this little piece of info about "King of Combat"

After licensing with SNKP, it seems that the KOF-lookalike Xuan Dou Zhi Wang (XDZW) is looking for more collaboration characters. A voting poll is now up. ..Mario?

Thanks to Orphen for confirmation.

The choices are Iori Yagami, Mai Shiranui, Luffy from "One Piece", Mikasa from "Attack on Titan", Mario, Chun-Li, Sol Badguy, I don't know the ape on the far left (I recognize the characters as "Son Goku" though), the guy in the western armor on the bottom and Chinese armor on the right don't look familiar to me.

If I am interpreting those numbers correctly it would appear Mikasa is in the lead.

The Chinese guy on the bottom is Zhao Yun (or Zhao Zilong) from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, presumably a design from Dynasty Warriors. The white guy is Garen from League of Legends.

Edit: That picture of Sun Wukong is from League, too.

Why can you vote for Chun or Mario when there's no way they'd be in there?

Looks like Ayano-san is pretty intrigued by the idea of a F2P fighter too.

Man if Ono can't even bankroll a F2P SFV that's barebones on release like most F2P games are, I don't know man. I don't like any of the implementations of F2P fighting games thus far, and I'd hate to see Capcom follow suit when all gamers pretty much agree that the DotA model is the way to go and has been tried and tested. Except maybe Killer Instinct's.

I'd pay $100 to complete access to everything from the game going forward, or something of the sort. Shit, you pretty much have to nowadays considering Season Passes. But surely, even $100 is cheap for that sort of thing, from the publisher's perspective.

I would assume they would save any new or GG2 characters for last, and get all the classic characters out of the way first. It would be kinda weird if Sin wasn't in this game.

As long as we dont get Loli Justice I'm ok with any other GG2 characters

I don't think the DotA 2 model would work for Capcom for SF5, for of a couple of reasons: the platforms they are on would not allow that kind of monetization (Sony might allow a fair bit of it, but I doubt you would see something like the Steam Marketplace on PSN), that and Valve is several steps ahead of everyone else here -- and several leagues beyond Capcom at this point. It would be a massive cultural shift for Capcom, and I don't see it happening. The difference in trust is also massive -- there wouldn't be much trust in whatever Capcom does, and can you blame anyone?

If there was a stripped down F2P release of SF5 it would probably go over as well as BoF6. I think the hybrid F2P/retail approach is the best way to handle it right now, similar to how DoA5U and KI are handling it.

Microsoft and Sony are fulling embracing F2P models, and both have titles in development that will allow microtransactions of the sort, to my knowledge MS already has F2P games out that are pretty generous with what they give you for free as well. This is the time when this is no longer an issue and the DotA 2 model is possible. You don't need a carbon copy of Steam to get the job done, as LoL got pretty far with the same sort of transactions, and kids are still flocking to buy RIOT spacebucks or whatever.

The cultural shift is already happening. Capcom already has F2P games on the market, as does every other big publisher. F2P isn't something new, it's been here for longer than we like to think. And with the way Capcom is moving now, they could use smaller projects during this console transition before they have an install base to justify RE7 which might not recoup the costs in time for their fiscal year end.

And I disagree that it would go over as well as BoF6. People are mad at BoF6 for the platforms first and foremost, and they wouldn't throw one of their top franchises to the wind like SF5 on some of that shit. Look at how they've even handled SFxTK and SFIV on iOS. TBQH, it's pretty respectable and they've provided a decent amount of content for the particular platform. So even if they take an approach where they bring something like SFV (or whatever their next SF move forward is) to multiple platforms including mobile ones, I don't think they'll skimp out and degrade the core console experience, or they wouldn't bother with one at all.

How do you guys think a Free2Play fighting game should work?
I don't think DOA5 does a good job or even close to one. Its pretty much a demo with an option of unlocking the full game by buying parts of it.

We have to purchase special moves and the ability to jump. If one of your opponents doesn't buy a stage, all you see is a white background. Characters are locked to the figurehead, there's no option to buy characters you want. The characters you want can only be grinded for, and even then the character you receive is random. You can buy things in the store that helps the grind be less ass, but that's all you can do.
