Another important data point. If you have more than 2068 BP than they do, you get 1 BP per win. (2 per win if you have 2067 more)
Thank you for this data. Apparently they don't fit the model, but I think the reason is that when two players are at two very different "levels", the game might use different coefficients. Also, the numbers that I gave were working well for both players in the range (about) 500-2000 BP in which I took the data. It looks like, from these numbers, that the player with higher points gets them with a weight about W=1000, rather than 2250. I'm tempted to believe that there are a number of thresholds (for example 0-2000, 2000-4000, etc) at which different coefficients apply (both when the players are in the same range, or not). This apparently is done in chess (grandmasters fight over single points). It also makes backward engineering the formula incredibly painful, so I guess it'd be easier to just scavenge through the app code and find the actual function... Interestingly in chess strong old players act as point storage units: when they are old they become technically overrated and start losing against younger players, thus effectively distributing points in the system. We'll talk about that in 30 yrs probably.
I feel that the rating system is linearly based. Interestingly what I'm seeing is that the equilibrium of BP depends on the population size. When BN was was busiest, the good players could maintain 3k+ BP. On Jap server now, good players can only achieve about 2.8k+ bp
there is a new version of the game but its only on the Korean app store and has some features that kills the essence of Street Fighter unless you play arcade mode which needs coins (real money). Also the fact that all the servers are in korea, playing online is close to impossible.
Unfortunately it is understandable. Not many new players arrive and inject points in the system because the app is quite old. Also, from their point of view it must be awful, because the "average" player now is quite decent compared to 3-4yrs ago standard. It really is a bit steep to enter now, we've seen it from the comments of the newcomers here too. Also, the one time I played ranked this year I consistently found players with about 500-600BP. They were decent, would take my points sometimes, but ragequit when losing (thus explaining their low BPs). I don't really care about this at this point (for real!), but I can see that they've taken a lot of my BPs due to the high differential, just to waste them by RQ in one stroke. I guess only a new game/app would revamp interest (like sf5), but if capcom does like the other franchises it might not be a fighting game at all.
If you have a mac you can do this for free (video with mic and no game sound): http://www.howtogeek.com/199732/how-to-record-a-video-of-your-iphone-or-ipad%E2%80%99s-screen-from-your-mac/ If not then one of these options with $$$ (video with game sound): https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming OR http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/game_capture/live_gamer_portable Also there's this for non jail broken devices and its free but its old so i don't know if it still works. Lets you install iRec and/or Shou through an emulator (Video without sound and possibly mic): http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/record-your-ipads-iphones-screen-no-jailbreak-computer-required-0156864/ The options that don't have the sound you have to record the game sound separately with a audio cable from your phone to your computer and using programs like Adobe Audition, Soundtrack Pro, The Basic PC "Sound Recorder", etc etc. Then you just sync the sound with your video editing program. Edit: I use Display Recorder on my jailbroken iphone for fun and when i want to make a video i use ElGato hardware + software. That new Yosemite + iOS 8 Feature seems really good though (doesnt need jailbreak or any kind of software + hardware).
So it was you! Your Sakura destroyed my chars with all those counter hits. I started picking random at the beginning, but it was pretty clear that I didn't know what to do with Abel.
Yeah i forgot how much fUn sakura can be, so i just picked her and been playing her for couple days now. Not too bad if u get the basics down. Good mix ups resets traps etc... Yo capt lets do more chunli mengggg
Feel like I just played my best match ever with Yun.. It was against a good Makoto and I dunno I just played rly good . Check it out.. http://sf4iv-en.capcom.jp/analytics/replay_download.php?r_id=20150512_02020541_108_5821CDDF_rpdata&d=:)
Work on your BNBs. You have 2 main BNBs, cl.MK, Shoulder, f+p(, ex shoulder in corner). The other is cr.LK x2, Target Combo 1 xx upkicks (or palm/shoulder on block). After raw ultra followup with lunge punch if you are outside the corner. In the makoto matchup in general, use those backdashes to avoid pressure! Yun has a good backdash. Also, no need to continually do divekicks from max height. Mix up the point you do it to be less predictable.
Thanks for the games :/ I tried to keep but meh... Guess I'm not use to playing good players... (Stupid I win with Blanka :/) I wanna say I'm getting better but I dunno I'm playing like 10 diff characters... Oh well I still had fun.. Oh ya also I wanted say like you know how I would do good or win one round? And then you'd come back and rape me is that cuz u already picked up on my mistakes etc... From say that one round? ( or am I'm just looking to far into it?) Anyways, any less skilled or new players out there?
QUestion: how often do you people try to counterpoke people? What are your favourite buttons to counterpoke with? When I play gief, I think s.MP is a great button to poke with. It has good range and is quick. With cammy, s.MK is a good button. In shoto mirrors, the obvious is cr.MK vs cr.HK counterpoking.
So am I...still waiting...for this game's next updating... So I assume Adon is still not in the game, ja?
I want evil Ryu, Yang, Guy, Ibuki..... I guess maybe they'll be a ios version of SFV? These r the characters I want to see.. Ryu Chun-li Carlie Nash Bison -Blanka -Ken -Dhalsim -Vega -Guile -Balrog -Sagat -Akuma -Fei-long -Cody - Rolento Sakura - C.Viper - Abel - Poison Rufus Oni Evi Ryu Hachan - Decapre -juri -Alex -Urien -Hugo -Dudley -Elena -Makoto -Yun -Ibuki -Oro Gill Yang Q Ingrid
