Capcom's Seth Killian said Super Street Fighter 4's development team is still looking at a few different ways to handle match making in the new title. Here are his comments from the Unity Boards.
Could you guys tell me how ranked matches will work? I'm not talking about the points system, but how the matches will be setup. Will it be a standard 2/3 rounds like most other fighting games for ranked, or will it be the same as Street Fighter 4?
One of the reasons I hated ranked matches in Street Fighter 4 is because people would create 1 rounds, 30 seconds matches. Even when I thought I was joining a standard game, the host would change the match settings in the lobby to make it 1 round 30 secs. It's why I stopped playing ranked and went to championship since at least that mode has standard match settings. — AlboFighter
Seth: It's not yet decided.
Some elements of the team like the option to have different kinds of matches, and I kind of see where they're coming from, though if someone wants to be the champion of 1-round, 30 second matches, I want the records to reflect the kind of match-types they're winning, instead of lumping them all in to the same pile.
I think this would solve the problem and produce some fun stats.
How do you think Capcom should match making in the new game? Leave a comment with your thoughts below.
