If the Zenny store is not available at the end of the month with Ibuki + June update, then there literally is ZERO reason why she was delayed out of the month of May. None.

Maybe it's time to move everything to the PS and Steam storefronts.
What should they have said today then?

Oh well, I'll play other games until she releases. Haven't been able to find a character I feel is a fit

They did say a blog post would be up within the next few days clarifying & elaborating on things. So, they technically did give us a timeline went to expect further clarification on potentially those questions. Keep in mind, they tweeted today's info out, so its not like they were gonna answer all of your questions in a 140-character limit.

Finally. This is what they should have done a few days or a week ago. Whatever issues they had they didn't have to tell us in detail obviously but all they needed to say they had a problem which is why the DLC was delayed. I'm pretty sure the rest of the time line is the same and wouldn't have made a differ nice if this character was released in May or June.
They aren't going to admit Ibuki was delayed because they wouldn't be able to charge for her right now.
The first two you're likely never going to get from most any dev. "Unforseen" or technical issues is likely the most info you'll get, especially if there are third parties involved. (storefronts, certification process, etc). The third one is a valid question, and hopefully addressed soon in the blog or E3 stuff.
Yes, they still have to prove they'll be better at communicating, but what they said for now is a good start at improving communication.
This too
Bruh he's already been played more than Vega and Gief, please don't base an argument around YouTube trailers.
Ideal statement: Since SFV is operating as a service, we are going to give you bimonthly blog updates on the status of the game and future content. These will appear on (set date) and (set date), without fail.
No way a developer would ever promise something like that in those terms. I wouldn't if I were one.
They can still provide info without stting themselves up to fail by missing a blog post or if there was no news to report just yet. Too much stuff can happen. The KI devs do a good job of keeping the community informed without such hard terms.
Frequent, informal updates are fine. From watching KI, a lot of stuff doesn't solidify and is not ready to be shown until near the end of the month.

Things get delayed... I'm never certain why people freak out about this. It's probably a fairly hectic schedule that was unrealistic.
Also, Guile and Alex are underwhelming? They were in top 16 at Combo Breaker!
I'm more mad that they showed Ibuki before Balrog... can we get a black American up in the game, please?

Balrog/M.Bison is your black American character. He's just been postponed.
Yeah, community managers is more accurate, but they would need to get heir news and info from somewhere. There just might be a blog with no new upcoming content info if early in the month. Just keeping people updated as things start rolling would be good.
I'm still waiting on my beta participant award.
Ryu and Chun Li story costume.
That was a general "we fucked up" reward.
To be clear, I fully expect never to receive anything for beta participation.

Holy shit I completely forgot about that. Wasn't that meant to be some tag you can wear online or something?

When Laura was revealed no one had the game. Alex was playable days before he had a trailer.
They never specified. People assumed it was the Beta only titles.

Iirc, they "sold" it as beta participation reward. Though I wouldn't have minded more stuff.
That's true. Stat tracking still doesn't work. Also in my case searching for lobbies is trash, because it has trouble fetching connections. Which also might be the reason why matchmaking is wonky.
"She will be released alongside Story Mode at the end of June."
So where the fuck is old boy with his "you guys are entitled and she will be released in 4 days" bullshit now?
Now won't she miss evo? This is hilarious. Part of me wants to go on record and say the zenny shop will never see the light of day since Capcom isn't ready for credit card info. Buuut, I'm not that sure they are that stretched thin.

Fuck off with this radio silence bullshit. If you can't stick to a roadmap then at least talk about it instead of delaying something the day it was supposed to be out.

Are they planning on taking away all the characters they're letting people play for free, because they don't have the Zenny system ready? If so, that's another shit storm waiting to happen.
The EVO character cutoff is June 15. Ibuki won't make the cut.

Really? Didn't know they changed the rules for EVO. Thought they went with the CPT rules, my bad.
That shit storm would be pretty stupid since they clarified from the beginning they would be doing that.

Like that's going to stop people from complaining.
I just realized this. May and (most) June equals another two months added to the free "trial". Meaning the season pass is useless for another 2 months. Unless they randomly decid on some random day that "ooops, you can't use them anymore because...well, season pass holders are mad at us. So even though the zenny shop ain't ready, you can no longer use these characters"

That cut off could also be pushed back. As she was probably being play tested by Evo vets and designed to be included.

I'm sure the community will claim that they should get the characters for free to make up for all the delays and lack of single player content. I know this is going to be another Internet shit storm. Just wait.
