Somebody probably did notice it, but who knows.
You can see the change here, along with the change from 4 to 2 active frames:

I believe so. I don't think the player had the ability to do it unless i've been mistaken all this time.
still too strong
they should make all of her throws 20 frames so you can react to it
Yeah, it's like they all hate my wallet & don't want me to go to EVO.

It was "pristine" for me as I said in the beta thread. I was thinking about making my first thread on this game and how to get a good room going.
This maybe common knowledge to some, but in this game it is very apparent that if you have streaming apps going in the background it'll fuck up your connection. It's really easy to miss or forget but if Netflix is open you're f****d, especially on the base game as is now. But on the beta we told everyone to check their stuff and we had NO problems whatsoever. Matches were fast, loading times were fast; it was all good. Don't write it off yet and hopefully it'll get better for you, Count.

You could have been earning 5000FM in literally two minutes every week for the last several months. Too bad you were too casual to even launch the game.
In Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition, and Turbo if I recall correctly, you grab on the cage instead of going to the wall.
In street fighter alpha 3 you can climb the cage in his stage doing the movement with three kicks and go to the wall if you use only one kick,
Bought Urien, Akuma, Kolin and Balrog with FM
Currently, sitting on 300k
And I consider myself super casual (watch my eyes go blank whenever people talk about +2 frame-whatever)
I *seriously* am utterly baffled by those complaining about the lack of FM. Capcom practically gift wraps you 6k-10k every week for doing 5 minutes work...

It is extremely easy to burn through fight money, especially on colors.
5k in my case. I suck at the online ones.
Though I focus Fight Money on stages and bought the season pass for the characters.
Got Akuma with FM though.
Currently have 50k.
That's cuz they want everything that be purchased with FM. Colors, story costumes, stages, etc. That's much harder unless you're willing to brave Survival mode

Yay, more stages and free FM!
Now, not to sound ungrateful Capcom, but could you do some throwback stages from Alpha and SFIII next please instead fo sticking to SFII exclusively? Sakura's backyard stage complete with child controlling the CPU fighter, Rose's Venice stage and the legendary grassy field stage from Alpha 2 would be nice, as would Ryu/Ken's two part Onsen one from SFIII New Generation or Urien's South-American temple stage and Alex/Ken's subway stage from 3rd Strike.
In terms of new stages, if you're still doing those Capcom, that once planned moving train stage would be very cool as well - those tend to be my favorites usually (just like in Garou with its multiple phases). Ed could also use one of the currently unused cinematic storymode Shadaloo stages like the one with the big AA guns to help give him a proper home.
Glad to see I'm not the only one waiting for this elusive mode. Almost seems like Capcom themselves have forgotten about it :-(
I definitely would welcome it as an addtional source of single player FM, especially now that he new CPT dailies are all online focused (and as such unattainable for me as a scrub).

I can testify to this. The colors eventually add up.
Don't forget the 2,000-5,000 FM you get from watching streams like ELeague or CPT Premier Events.

That 50k will come in handy for nabbing Spain and Fei Long.
Is there a time limit to how long you can grab the cage? In the context of tournament play it'd be kinda hilarious to see a Vega player cling to the cage for the last 10-15 seconds and just wait out the clock with a higher life bar.
Yes. My friend did it in Alpha 3 like two weeks ago.
In A3 the player has no control over Vega until he jumps off the cage. It's basically just a delayed Flying Barcelona from the middle of the screen.
No veterans in Season 2 besides Akuma, remember?

Awesome news, the stage looks cool and it's awesome to have new ways to earn FM.
Please Capcom, not announce the Arcade Mode at E3 and a surprise character (not a S3 ones) free for everyone. Regarding new classic stages, please release the SFII Sagat one once you release this character for SFV, and also a Ken one with a big boat.

i wouldn't even force my worse enemies to play SFV survival mode. Don't be so cruel with that suggestion.
Easy & Medium shouldn't be that bad. Plus I also forgot to mention the weekly Missions.
Yeah, my recollection is that you couldn't control Vega's movement on the cage at all. Which means the cage stage actually would put Vega players at a disadvantage.
People still say this? When Capcom is the only one giving us the option to unlock all the noncosmetic and some cosmetic stuff for free while others charging real money for characters.
I remember it had a fixed time. Like 2 or 3 seconds. You do the move, Vega climbs the cage, wait a little and then he jumps. You can't control when it jumps. I think you can't even control the movement.

you need to understand why people still say this with context. Yes, the 'new' stuff is 'free' and can be earned via in-game currency but the 'base' package of SFV is an empty husk in terms of content...even without comparison with NRS fighting games. Just comparing base SFV with original Vanilla SF4 already make SFV looks bad. Comparing base SFV vs MKX/IJ2/GGXrd or even KI/KOF14 from a content POV will make SFV looks even worse.
This is the complain people are saying. Of course, those tournaments fiends and online ranked dudes will never understand.
In terms of modes, yeah, I get it, but at least those are 100% free whenever we get new modes. As for SFV's base roster, its size is not unlike most Street Fighter games when they start out (yes, the arcade version of SFIV started with around 16 or so characters), especially when you factor in the completely-redone animations & models. Hell, even GGXrd started out with a similar roster count to SFV. Now if they did what Smash 4, MvCI, or Injustice 2 did & port assets from the the previous game, that'd be a different story.

It's the same, no change.

The changes are the changes that were originally added in Season 2.0, they just forgot to include these with the changelog for that patch so they're mentioning them now.

I mostly agree the netcode in the beta was a downgrade. I had some okay matches, but playing against friends was definitely worse on the whole than in the regular version and compared to randoms in ranked that's pretty easy to judge. I'm hoping maybe it was just extra beta stuff, like additional logging or something.
Normal is still bad starting at Level 14-16. That's when they start reading inputs and become Auto-Combo Bots.
And watching CPT events for FM is still PS4 only.
You can beat everything up until 25 just constantly jumping in and doing a simple combo that knocks down. After that you need to be a bit more careful but it's still about constant pressure on the CPU.
50k just for logging in? nice.
Not sure if I want to buy Ed's story mode costume or save up for one of the stages. The extra fight money from the CPT bundle is pretty nice too but as someone who regularly goes on 10 game losing streaks in my own battle lounges I don't see myself ever being able to complete most of them. ):

This, along with outdated character trials and the weekly missions that only make use of the initial lineup of stages are the main reasons why I don't always like the gradual update model SFV uses compared to SFIV's big (optionally disc-based) expansions / seasons that make it more likely that most players are on the same page again. I feel that bigger UI changes are also held back by this model.

IIRC only the CPU had that ability.
I'm kinda bummed that I paid $60 for SFV at launch only to see how barebones it was, and now I have to pay so much more for all this shit

It's ok though, you can get DLC characters for free.

i don't think the SFV team got the budget to revamp the UI. I am NOT joking. The budget dedicated (to the development) seems so small at this point....i will reckon most of the money capcom spent on SFV are on the marketing for the tournaments.
i wouldn't expect any major fixes for anything in regards to SFV
