I think they care about what other people think because they don't want the game to be so unpopular that we have to do 10 years without a new street fighter once they're done updating SF5 like what happened after the SF3 series bombed. If the competitive community was big enough to support high games sales on it's own they wouldn't care as much about what casual players think, but it's no where near big enough for that.

The price of these costumes is ridiculous. Each individual costume costs $3.99. If I'm remembering correctly, that's what it cost for a pack of 5 in SF4. I'm normally a sucker who gets all of these, but maybe not this time around.

I've been playing Junkrat for a few days now, and I'm starting to think that they might want to tone down his ult a bit. It's super easy to build up his ultimate meter quickly, and the blast radius of the tire is ridiculous. Either make it so dealing damage doesn't build his ult so fast, or reduce the blast radius of it. I know its weakness is that the wheel can be shot, but that doesn't really matter with how easy it is to build that meter back up again.

That being said, I still do hope they wait a while before doing any real big balance changes. Things people think are a problem at first might not actually turn out to be one. Bastion is pretty much becoming the poster child for this.

Mei can unsummon her ice wall by pressing the button for it again after it's up if you end up putting it in a bad location.

The alt fire on Symmetra's gun goes through all the shields that the various tank characters have.

Buff the game's display options so it stops periodically reverting to windowed mode on start up.

Seriously though, the game seems pretty balanced with maybe a couple small issues. I hope they let it breathe a while before doing any big character balance changes.

Ha, the character I originally picked up because I was super bad at combos has a nearly half a minute long corner combo. I find that really funny for some reason. I'm looking forward to digging out of the two week Dark Souls hole I fell into and trying Guile this weekend. Back to the grind.

I'd bet that Nameless King is going to end up winning this poll in the end, but man did I love the Champion Gundyr fight.

Unfortunately, Capcom doesn't seem to be in the mood to make much of anything new these days. I doubt we would have had SFV if it wasn't for Sony throwing support behind it, and now that the game sold terribly I wouldn't hold my breath for another Capcom fighting game being developed any time soon.

I think you should be able to request a change in hosts after a game if it's super laggy, but I don't think it should be a hard rule that you have to change. If @hassun is correct in the way lag works, someone is getting screwed no matter what in that scenario. If you switch every game and the non-lagging player always wins, someone is still getting 2 laggy games and the other person only 1. We'll just have to rely on people being good sports about this, and someone basically accepting the loss.

@technician: Oh, I wasn't thinking from a visual aesthetic perspective. I guess that makes sense. That doesn't really bother me, but I'm also a former Guile player so that probably has a lot to do with it.
