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

Matched up with someone within seconds. My God, I have no idea how to play this game on a controller anymore. Wish I could practice for a bit in training mode before getting blown up online.
 
Dammmmmmn wife got home. It's a wrap. How long is this going on for?

At least my last match was hype. Ryu mirror. Dude knocks me down and tries to bag me with a fully charged V trigger hadoken on wake-up. Mistimes slightly, I pull off my Super at the last second as the fireball passes through me. Death for him.

Game feels fucking great!!!
 
it HAS to be shit internet on the part of some of these americans, cuz I just played a guy from UK that felt smooth (maybe it wasn't smooth on his end, idk?)

My first match was with a dude from France, and it was fine, same with a guy from Canada, it was just this match that was terrible.
 
How's Ryu zoning on this game? I only played one match so I could not judge

I'm finding it really hard to play him tbh, fuck his normals

long range fireballs are useless and just feed v-trigger, footsie range poking fireballs feel too scary when a punish will take 1/3 hp
 
Playing as Ryu and have only played against Ryu's, 4 in a row so far. It's funny how they're all so terrified and up backing all the time lol. I just walk them into the corner and practice parries. Which I'm failing at but it's fun to test stuff since I don't find these guys to be much of a threat. Still undefeated since the beta came back last Friday or whenever. Would be nice to play someone around my skill level instead of only playing newbies constantly.
 
What's with anti airing in this game? It's too easy, literally every button works as one. Some guy anti aired me with Ryu's collarbone breaker.
 
yo give me some nash BNBs quick!

Was going to mention I got in about thirty minutes ago...but I had too much fun playing the game. I vastly prefer playing as Ryu in this game, feels more third strike like (my favorite in the series).

Got about eight matches, I had a blast!

edit: disconnected.
