Street Fighter V Beta Thread: Welcome, future '16ers! (Currently Inactive!)

Got to play two matches after repeated errors! Woo! Won them both as well. Experienced massive lag spikes though.

Liking what I played so far. Sticking to old school Ryu combos so far and I haven't been able to use his V Skill successfully yet. It's like SFIII parry, right?
 
I wish you could change characters before a match since whoever you train with is who you're stuck with. First ever match was testing with Bison and I barely manage to beat this Cammy player. He's pretty different in this without his Psycho Crusher but his new moves are fun especially his new D/U+P move....fierce version can go directly into Super lol. Also Head Stomp being able to OTG = woot!
 
Well I got bodied as Bison lol. Swapped to Ryu and was basically 50% one match turned into a slideshow and basically nothing came out right. Still was fun for the brief window I got to try it.
 
I just won like 5 straight with birdie. Is it that nobody knows how to fight against him? because all I am seeing is ryu and chun.

I only lost 1 match and it was against a Birdie. It was my first time fighting him and I didn't know what his pokes are (or the fact that they hurt). His cr.lp seems pretty good, and he combos into itself it seems. I need more matchup experience to see what's punishable against him and buttons that counter poke his. Of course it's eventually going to change, since I remember when Birdie was released (which is around the build we are playing) they said he wasn't fully complete and they were adjusting his normals, like the hitboxes and hurtboxes still.
 
Well I gotta say, even though there were a couple times the games got laggy, overall they played tremendously well, especially considering we're so far from release.

And even though it would get laggy, it never felt like I was underwater. I never felt a delay, things just slowed down.

Also holy shit this game is fun.
