What to expect from the Street Fighter V beta, starting today

At the start of the beta, four characters are available. This includes the wandering warrior, Ryu, the Interpol agent, Chun-Li, the head of Shadaloo, M. Bison, and the shadow from the past, Nash. In order to test our content delivery system, Birdie and Cammy will not be available until Sunday, but we assure you that both these brawling Brits are well worth the wait.

For this beta, you cannot invite your friends into a match. All opponents are chosen at random while you wait in the grid, and you can be matched with an opponent from anywhere in the world. We’d like to stress that this is not how the final game will function. The purpose of the beta is to test our location tracking and match-making algorithm across a wide range of international connections. We’re committed to making Street Fighter V the definitive fighting game experience, and that’s both offline and online. The data we collect from the beta will help us achieve this goal.

To ensure that the online dragon punches and hurricane kicks remain steady throughout the beta, we’ve scheduled maintenance for a short period every day. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to play the beta during this time, but on the upside, this represents a perfect opportunity to submit your feedback on the official Street Fighter V survey page or on the Capcom UK Twitter page. Just don’t ask us to spill the beans on anymore characters. All in good time!

I know but the login servers being down from 03:00 am till 12 hours later is a bit lame.

 

[sirap]

[Gurrry]

hopefully they extend this even longer now because of how long this has been going on. there are tons of people that have yet to get past the title screen (including myself). please capcom, dont do us dirty!

 

[Bizazedo]

I know but the login servers being down from 03:00 am till 12 hours later is a bit lame.

Thank you for your service.

 

[TomShoe]

People getting upset over a beta. lol. Must have pre-ordered over PSN.

[NZerker12]

Managed to get to title screen but either get different error code disconnect messages or unable to login. Sigh, I just want to try it dammit.

Fake edit: Now all I can see is a black screen now.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Well if were here to test the servers, I think our job is done.

 

[MoaM]

But wouldn't that be the first day

Secretly allow people to play the game a day before the "first day"...Bam! Second Day Launch Title.

 

[Numb]

Well if were here to test the servers, I think our job is done.

We won.

 

[synce]

Wait the beta is only 2 days? Is this true? When they adding Cammy then?

 

[Zerojul]

OK, workday is over in half-an-hour, can't wait to get home to stare at a black screen for a few hours.

 

[Kysuke]

I'm done trying for another couple hours. Gonna watch Daigo play Xrd until I either pass out or you guys tell me that people are getting in en masse.

Stream ?

 

[MegamanXZero]

Damn, I was in for a good 10 mins. Only training mode though, no match.

 

[Shinriji]

Got it for 5 minutes or so. BR HUE here.

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

Wait the beta is only 2 days? Is this true? When they adding Cammy then?

The answer lies in the heart of the OP.

 

[Noisepurge]

Beta is up until tuesday.

And by up i mean servers down but they are pulling the plug early next week. Cammy and Birdie are available Sunday. And by available i mean servers down.

 

[Persona RS]

Wait the beta is only 2 days? Is this true? When they adding Cammy then?

It's in the OP.

The first SFV beta begins at 6PM PDT / 9PM EDT on July 23rd, and runs for 5 days until July 28th at 6PM PDT / 9PM EDT. Daily maintenance will be performed between 11PM PDT / 2AM EDT and 1AM PDT / 4AM EDT, and the beta will be unavailable during this time. There will be 6 characters in the beta, with 4 immediately available (Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash, M. Bison), with 2 more coming available on the 25th (Cammy, Birdie).

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Got disconnected mid-combo. Messing around in training mode was a lot of fun. Don't know if I'm going to bother trying to get back in for right now though.

 

[mnz]

Well if were here to test the servers, I think our job is done.

Honestly, the worse it is now, the better it'll be later. Thank you all for betatesting this for me.

 

[cackhyena]

Well it's been extended so I'm assuming till Wednesday now at least, right?

 

[red731]

Home in half. Please work.
Been following this thread all day - preparing for nothing.

 

[Xater]

Yeah I am also giving up again. Maybe it will work in the evening, but hopefully by tomorrow.

 

[Slowdive]

Wait the beta is only 2 days? Is this true? When they adding Cammy then?

It was going to end on Tuesday but they're going to extend it.

 

[synce]

Haha none of the streams are working now

(And sorry for dumb question, somewhat missed that info yesterday)

 

[Noisepurge]

Well it's been extended so I'm assuming till Wednesday now at least, right?

hopefully, depends on how long this server stress test is running instead of player vs player connection test.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Well it's been extended so I'm assuming till Wednesday now at least, right?

Right.

 

[Captain Smirk]

In for first time, lets do this!

 

[LAM09]

Managed to spend a little time in training, but I keep getting disconnected every 5 mins. Has anyone played an online match yet?

 

[raven777]

Are people actually getting in? I still can't get in.

 

[PhatSaqs]

lmfao

 

[Nuszka]

In for first time, lets do this!

So jealous mate.

 

[mnz]

Managed to spend a little time in training, but I keep getting disconnected every 5 mins. Has anyone played an online match yet?

I've seen Rip (@reepla) play a few online matches against Japanese opponents. Looked pretty good with a little bit of teleporting.

 

[ZeroX03]

Got in for around 15 minutes. The game is sublime, found some crazy, stylish combos with Ryu that uses V.Trigger with Super. Loving the game system, now hopefully I can get back in...

 

[VariantX]

I just got in... exactly 5 minutes before I need to get ready to go out for a job interview today. Well I aint complaining, I'll enjoy the hell out of these 5 minutes

 

[CouchMaster]

Got in, but I can only play in training arena. Is online disabled for now?

 

[MegamanXZero]

Are people actually getting in? I still can't get in.

I was in training mode for a rough 10 mins, but got kicked out.
Still horrible to play with a pad, can't fully get used to it so learning combo's is gonna take a while.

 

[delSai]

Got in, but I can only play in training arena. Is online disabled for now?

You have to wait till the game finds an opponent.

 

[NZerker12]

Got in finally.

 

[paragonpro]

I love this, but anyway thank God this is happening now rather than the final game.

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

IM IN!
