Yeah they have, it's essentially PlayStation Home with a lobby of around 100 people and you move your avatar, who is the create a fighter you make from the single player World Tour, to an arcade cabinet to queue or request a fight. But in the Battle Hub as it's called there are other things to do, like play old Capcom arcade games and the like. It actually looked pretty damn cool |

Ken gameplay from the TGS build. He actually looks really great. I wasn’t sure with the trailer but in motion yeah - excellent stuff. A whole new generation of flowchart Kens will be born. |

Otoh, I believe it is cross platform, so you shouldnt have to wait long for a game (unless you have it turned off, which I suspect most PC players will). |

Its hard to believe that, regardless of how he plays, this is the first time since 3rd Strike Ken has *looked* cool. I know 3S was like the peak of character portraits but its hard to overstate how stupid he looked in SF4 and, especially, SF5.

Totally agree, I've always been stuck between Ken and Dudley who I prefer more especially in 3rd Strike but if Dudley doesn't appear in 6 then I'm all over Ken. |

Ken looks cool? He looks like a scruffy tramp, though I concede his face/hair are the best he's looked since SF3. Looks fun to play too!
I know the character list has been leaked already but I hope Balrog, Vega, Sagat and Bison aren't too far behind. Love Fei Long too but can't see him for a long time (if ever).

His hobo outfit could maybe use work but his hair and face sculpt are not this:  |

Christ, that was so bad.
Any news on the netcode? I've heard it's using rollback which was incredible for Guilty Gear Strive but then also read SFV used rollback netcode which was iffy at best.

Yeah, it's using rollback but the implementation of SFV rollback came in later in it's life so was quite a patch job. I guess we'll find out how good it is in a couple of weeks with the closed beta. |

Input lag is going to be as important as network lag. Apparently the early PS5 builds on display were almost unplayable (and the PS5 version of SF5 is *still* worse than on the PS4).
Hopefully switching to the RE engine will sort it because UE4 isnt up to fighting games, I dont think.

Rollback was the key reason I didn't go pro.
Can PS4 people play PS5? If so we'll need a font geek league so I can issue a whuppin'

At least Ken looking like a hobo is actually intended as it's part of his story Though, I would still agree Capcom hate him. Look at all the SF2 originals and their arc in the new one, all living their best life, while Ken lost everything and is just looking for Ryu as if all life's solutions lie in him. |

The reimagining of the SF2 Blanka stage looks stunning.

So; 18 characters at launch, with Akuma, Ed, Rashid and AKI likely to be DLC. Not bad! Pretty much on par with other modern fighting games.

Ken looks great. He's always been one of my favourites, but has been given a bit of a disservice since third strike.
Looking forward to this.
