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

Didn't know you could get the beta right now. I found it on the mobile app and its currently being downloaded to the system. Can't play it, but hey, at least you have the download out of the way.
 
Not sure about the bolded. I need to watch some videos again.

But we can definitely add;

No more safe reversals (i.e. DP xx FADC)

No more crouch tech/cr. LK option select

Links made easier with a 2-frame input buffer
I'm almost certain I saw a tweet from either LI Joe or PR Balrog that said crouch tech of sorts was discovered during E3; just that the timing of it was slightly different... I'll try to find it.

Yeah sucks a bit, will try to get my head readjusted for tomorrow. I live in Ireland and got the beta from preordering on US Psn , wonder if i will get connected to EU servers.
 
You know, I don't think I'll even need a stick for SFV.

Spent 3 years on pad and switched to stick so I could plink, but that's no longer there / needed.

I'll feel out the beta on a pad before considering a stick in the future honestly.
 
I can't get a code myself, unfortunately. Is there any way to get one at this point?

I got one a couple hours ago from amazon for preordering, you don't actually have to pay anything to do that and you can cancel it at any time. Just make sure you cancel before the game ships if you dont plan to buy.

I just tried this (I'm Australian. Missed the sign up date). How long that it take to get the code?
 
At least no support for PS3 sticks means I can give this a miss and practice my stick play... which badly needs improving. Part of me hopes SFV doesn't support PS3 sticks at all so I have an excuse to buy a new one. ^_^

Any Europeans got an invite yet?
They go out at 15:00 BST I believe, so four hours from now.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's already gone. They seemed really against having stuff like that in the game.

OT is so confusing..


couldn't we go back to super turbo ways?
normal, specials and 1 super?
They basically did! Just think of the V stuff as new special moves. Only one super as opposed to supers and ultras like we had in 4.
 
Let's go Justin!

Where da streams at :P

Simplicity won't go far in this current gen. Fighting games have advanced so far that simplicity like SF2 in a new fighting game won't last it long in the FGC.
 
So jelly of you guys. Wish I had a PS4 right now. :(
Anyway, looking forward to read some impressions. And maybe see footage from people with capture cards.
 
Practiced for a bit yesterday with the DS4, don't like it but I'll make it work. I use fightpads and find the DS4 weird as hell to use, I can't imagine what stick warriors must feel.

I wish, seeing all these "tech" words is really turning me off. Think this game will only be enjoyable to me against friends or the cpu.

All this combo obsessed street fighter, I miss the old school style of play, like sf2hdremix is the max of craziness for me.

This beta will determine if I buy a stick or not though.

This is the old school style of play. High damage, defensive options, etc.

And ew, HD Remix. Ew ew ew ew ew.
 
Already played this at an event last week. Made me more hype for the beta than ever. Gonna have to stay up past 2am for this bad boy.

Edit: For anyone interested I have a Google Doc with everything I know about Nash so far, just some target combos and some other stuff. Might do this for other characters too when beta hits. Link
 
I refuse to believe that, especially a street fighter game.

A game that lacks depth is a game that doesn't last long because everything gets figured out. The reason why people continue to put hours of time into these games is the new tech that arrives nearly daily.

Years later, people are still finding ridiculous things in Marvel. It's a freshener - now I gotta watch for this new Wesker tech.

I'm not saying everyone needs to be a SF fanatic, learning all of the heavy combos, but I rather like that the genre is evolving and not stagnating on a system made decades ago.

Even SF2 isn't all that simple when you think about it.

What is so eww eww on a playstyle that just required you to block? That's all you had to do, block and have skills

I think you didn't read my post correctly. I'm actually in favor of having a focus on defensive options.

Or if you are somehow thinking that the problems with HD Remix can be conquered with blocking and having skills, well then, you'd be wrong too.

I think he has a s.LP, s.MP, s.MK, s.HK target combo as well, but not sure. Might be a link, actually.
 
Didn't know that i could sign up for the beta. Tought you had to pre order. Is there anybody that has a extra key to share?
