Already having trouble with good Ryu players (using Cammy). This is like SFIV all over again, lawd.

Excellent. Thanks for the advice.
well Ryu players know what they have to do, it's the same character.
It'll get better when you'll learn your own.

I hope one of the beta tests allows up to set up lobbies and choose our opponents, just to test to see if that functions properly and see how much of it is the netcode or if it's just players being matched from far away places. I know right now they are just seeing how the thing functions as bare bones as possible. But when players actually do go online, they have the ability to be selective and choose connections that aren't too far and people they have decent connections with. I'm sure on release not all you guys will be hitting accept from something like a TX to France connection, that's for sure (Nash and Cammy might as well be unblockable at that point lol).
Plus they need to test lobbies because I believe one of the pre-patch versions of USF4 had player matches be extremely laggy (or was it another mode) because it was constantly testing ping connections to everyone it search for.

lol some grandmaster bridie just destroyed the ever living shit out of me wtf. I don't even see how it would be humanely possible to win against that.

Ryu's v-trigger is so insane.
I'm really at a loss of what exactly Bison's super is for. I heard it was good at antiair but I've had people just fly right through it or teleport to the ground during the animation. It works as a reversal sometimes but even if they're pressing buttons sometimes it whiffs since the range is tiny, Nash's apparently magic hitboxes resulted in a really stupid moment where he was literally doing a punch animation in the middle of Bison and the super didn't connect.
I heard it works in combos and it does not at all. It misses every time you cancel into it from anything with the exception of psycho inferno in the corner.
So the logical thing is to save your meter for v-trigger but that takes a long time and people just go into psychic blocking mode whenever I use that and I never actually land a knee press.
Also fuck this fucking game. Laggy Birdie just whiffed a hard punch so I try to punish and he somehow cancels the whiff animation into super? What?

I combo into Bison's super all the time. Medium or hard scissor kick never fails me.

Really enjoying this so far! Matches have been silky smooth for the most part. At first I didn't know what to do with Cammy. Tried playing her as a mixup heavy divekick character and got blown up. Once I started staying on the ground and spreading the glory of her standing medium kick my win rate improved dramatically!

Every grand Master I have fought has been a laggy #$%&.
And none from the US. All foreign. All lag tactics 101 too.

yup cancel that first hit. Or use it in the air as a yolo surprise attack
I know it only cancels from the first hit but they are always pushed back too far for it to connect.

Just won a grand Master from Canada. Dude was cool.
He's the first I can't hate on.
Tcswift or something.

Thirsty to get back to it, stuck at the Mall though. Late night looks like.

This is a beta.
I know it's hard for people to remember this considering how surprisingly polished and balanced this already game feels...but this game isn't even close to being finished.
Obviously, when the game is legit released, it will have all the options SF4 had and then some.
I'll try this.
Oh it'll have room search? God bless Capcom.

Works great as an anti-anti air as well with Devil Stomp (what ever it's called). Cancel the jump mid air and counter that Shoryuken/Cammy shit!
Only played something like 20 matches today, but only the ones against masters or above were really interesting.
Barely lost to a world warrior ryu on the last round, and it was probably my favourite SF5 match ever -- all footsies, great defence, no random DP or mashed up reversals. Would have loved to play some more matches against him.

Try restarting the entire demo. That's pretty odd, as I'm struggling to get practice time due to fast matchups.

Holy hell, I just barely beat this Chun Li with a clutch Target combo to super when I had a sliver of life.

Im definitely no expert but jesus do some bisons I play seem cheap as hell
no one has ever blocked boom xx v-trigger (yo mahvel) on the ground so far. just hold up guys.
no such thing as cheap

Bison in the right hands or spam-happy hands even is disgusting right now lol. I played against a bunch of grand masters couple nights ago and some of them just went full on autopilot and mauled.

That may have been me, sorry! I think I've only seen one other Grand Master Birdie since Friday.

Had a pretty good run so far today. Played a newer Ryu and did a bit of fireball parry practice with him (though I wonder if he thought I was just spamming shit).
Played a real good Birdie just now too. He was bypassing my fireballs with his dash grapple, so I'd have to bait it out and then punish that way. Was able to get the duke, but dude had some real nice basic setups. He'd throw the can down and bait the jump, so he'd chuck the anti-air grapple out. Nice stuff.

I have to use Wi-Fi, and the vast majority of my matches are awesome.

Agreed. I don't know why anybody would like it honestly. Unless their first fighting game was SF4 and that is just how they learned how to play fighting games. Maybe I am just old school. Getting punished for committing should be how it always is.
Hey Karst I know you have put some time in with Bison do you have any tech/overall strategies I should be looking to implement? I haven't had any time to put into the beta yet and hope to hop on tonight.
