  • Just curious on your Steam Link issue, have you checked the “Change desktop resolution to match streaming client” checkbox on Steam? One of my computers is using a 2560×1080 monitor and we have it going to the Steam Link, it adjusts the resolution to 1080p to match the TV.

    I’ve never tried with the 4k ranges I honestly cannot imagine the 100 mbs ethernet and cheap CPU could provide enough bandwidth without significant input delay. You might be alright with the SFF that can output your resolution and then using the Steam Link app for a beefier Steam Link.


  • It’s licensed content and honestly just not as interesting as the pirates skins they had last month. I’m not purchasing any, but if I were to purchase, I would only get Donatello’s and call it good. There’s more fun to customizing your avatar to look unique than wearing a costume. If someone is a TMNT super fan and wants to get themselves a skin, that’s cool. But I think most of us are not interested at that price point.

    I’ve only spent $5 on the battlepass and it keeps refunding me with more content. That’s plenty enough customization for me.


  • Fighting games live and die by its playerbase. This isn’t some RPG you put 40 hrs in and then move on. The DLC model greatly improved Street Fighter. It allows existing players to keep playing their game and not be forced to rebuy the $60 “Super” version every few years. SF4 I had to buy 3 times just to keep playing with my one character online. Modern Fighting games are updated and new players can join with all the DLC by buying the latest version while old players can keep using their existing game and upgrade when they feel it’s appropriate at a moderate price, all while playing with the same player base.

    I’d love to see Capcoms deal with Nick. But even if they’re paying it’s bringing in players who are interested. A lot of SF players grew up in arcades and TMNT was another popular arcade game, this is a good market overlap for a completely optional cosmetic DLC. It’s bringing in more players and continuing to fund a game with continuous updates, I haven’t seen a single SF player upset about these collab cosmetics.




  • I heard about having to use the Select button to switch between punches and kicks on the Genesis, I can see why it didn’t catch on as much as the SNES version did! I’m glad the Battlehub is available, it does seem to be substitute for that arcade experience. I’ve mostly met decent folks on there but have ran into an occasional asshole as well.

    I’ll play sets with my brother who also plays. It gives a more open and friendly environment for me to try new things, get immediate feedback, and not worry as much.

    I feel you on the Ranked. I have to remind myself before each Ranked match that I’m playing for fun and that overtime I will improve, even if I lose that match now.
