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

Dudes are already playing mad lame and turtling .... With cammy!

Stupid stupid stupid

It's early days.

Also it seems like offense is going to be predicated more on hard reads and proper spacing/footsies then in SF4 where the person who could do the most pressure while maintaining safe blockstrings would have the advantage.
 
I literally got kicked to the PS4 menu immediately. I didn't even get an error message in-game.

just got booted to xmb in the middle of a match lol. darn. was beating a cammy.

Crashed to dashboard

well, the last ~15 minutes I played actually worked well regarding finding matches but the connections weren't hot.

yo that was hardcore

straight cut no time wasted

Damn. Just got booted to dashboard. At least I had a good run

Looks like everyone just got booted to home screen. Combofiend too strong. :(

I got booted to training mode lol. How long can I stay here?
 
Anybody else not having any of their wins or losses saved? My profile still shows me at 0 EXP lol

And was just kicked out at the end of my last match. This game is really fun.
 
Guess that's it for tonight, got the boot to the PS4 menu as well.. see yall tomorrow.

Had a good run with Bipson tonight. GGs to anyone I might have played (PSN: killdatninja)
 
Beta is over for tonight it seems. Everyone got booted to XMB.
Played Cammy a bit and had a couple of really fun last matches. Movement execution is still a complete joke for me on the dpad though lol. I can't do consistent qcf/x2 smh.
 
Just got kicked out of training mode. Ryu is FUN. Can't believe I'd say that again, ever. I ever consider maining him again if my Yogi master doesn't make the cut.
Jump HK to Back HK to Crouch MP x Hadouken x Shinku for 450 damage sounds a bit crazy though.
 
Akademik if you're reading this



MyGawd how disappointing.

Not sure what turtling is, let alone have any clue how to play Cammy or any other character in the roster for that matter but I'll figure it out eventually.

Wasn't our game lagging? or at least for me it was.
 
Man, what a night! While granted, a good majority of my time with the beta was spent mashing the X button. But when it worked, it worked beautifully. Hopefully the Street Fighter V Beta runs just as well in the morning.

when are the servers sposed to come up again? i thought it was gonna run all weekend :(
It's just scheduled maintenance. The beta will be back up in the morning.
 
Chun's buttons are so good in footsies. I was tagging dudes with stand fierce twice in a row almost every match. Her V trigger isn't spectacular but its kinda of a bootleg seiei enbu. It's good in certain punish situations plus shes safer and gets a few combos.
 
Man I'm so excited to get to play this when it's fixed, seriously.


It's pretty fun. Just make sure you learn some bnb combo's cuz they throw you in a match pretty quick.

Only tech throws when ch models are close or overlapping.

Ex- jumpin to throw and wakeup close throw

More then ever normals are highly prized. USE THEM.

I wonder if they would ever put in the double kikoken back on the V-trigger. IMO, it wouldn't be oppressive like the initial reaction to it when it was first shown because basically every character in the game has something around fireballs (and even in that build Ryu in Denjin mode could charge his fireballs to take multiple hits of kikoken).
 
Finally got to play. About 20 minutes in training, and a few matches. I just don't think fighting games are for me anymore, but the game felt and looked pretty good! Wish the command list would've worked! I figured out most of Nash's moves but couldn't figure out anyone's critical arts.

Anyway, not to come off as negative about the game, it looks and plays well and I think it will please the hardcore :)
 
This game is too damn good. Lives up to the hype if it weren't for the network problems. I wish Capcom went the Killer Instinct route and released the game early (obviously after they fixed network issues) with a cast of 8 for a cheap price. And release the second batch of 8 characters next year in March with the story mode and etc. I don't think I can wait and it's hard to go back to USFIV after this.
