Street Fighter V Beta IV Thread: Jan 30-31

Decided to join the PC beta festivities. Playing Mika because she's hilarious, but I'm having a hard time escaping pressure without EX meter. Any tips?

You pretty much just gotta play defense. You can try throwing out things like uncharged sHK if you don't think the opponent has a good air confirm off of it if they hit you or something, but blocking is usually better.

EDIT: You can low-profile things with cHK if the opportunity presents itself.
 
Blonde moment, guys I turn off auto matchmaking in the main menu but when I go to the lab it starts again? Just want to train, when I hit start the options to switch it all off are greyed out?

you can't turn it off.
it's a beta/network test after all, they don't want you to hang around in training mode all day.

Makes sense.

But aww, fiending for tech but I'm thrown into matches every 6 seconds lol. Can't complain about the netcode this beta. I've only had one laggy game thus far.

Very impressed.
 
man i really love crush counters.... if you get one with cammys RH as an anti air you can DP after for more damage or super.

also sick blocking a DP and crush countering all the ryu and kens, good bye health :D

I wish I had this problem. I've played for two hours so far and only gotten into five matches, out of which three were pretty much unplayable.
 
Thanks to this beta including command list I have discovered more new moves to use with Karin (even hubs had some incorrect info at times). Which is really helpful!

However I was just destroyed by a really good Karin right now. I didnt even know you could connect the uppercut with the kick combo command. At least I am less stressed and trying to avoid mashing buttons this time around.

I love this game so much, (despite losing a lot) it is definitely more fun and open than Street Fighter 4 ever felt. I am more than certain that Karin will be my new main along side with Cammy (traditional pick). Just have to keep improving fundementals and keeping distance while striking patiently.
 
Gotta say, some of these V-Trigger activation -> Critical Art combos are just stupid. More than 500 damage off of a safe guess.
 
Had a 5 match win streak yesterday and this morning lost 10 in a row. I'm so frustrated right now,put hours and hours in training mode and when the match starts I forget everything and press buttons way to fast. Think I'd rather watch people play than put the time in to be decent,just dont have the patience for it.
 
Psst, I knew none of them were cut out for it. I will never abandon my wai... I mean favorite character, Karin! NEVER!

Karin is a lot harder to use than most people think. I feel a lot of her techniques are very televised, and if you know how to block and tech it's not much of a struggle to defend against her.

I don't have any dirty mixup techs with her yet but maybe it's bias but I don't see how people fear her so much.

Keep at it. You learn by losing. It's a matter of experience.

There's always gonna be someone better. If you enjoy doing what you're doing in the moment, you just gotta let those Ls slide off ya, and push ahead.
 
No problem. I should mention that these pastebins are from Bafael's bnb combo guides. Link to his youtube channel.

Pastebins for the lazy.

Dhalsim
Dictator
Mika
Karin
Rashid
Nash
Cammy
Ken
Ryu
Vega
Chun Li

We should throw this in the op.
I'm guessing these are Beta 3 so kiiinda outdated, at least the Bison one is. Just a few things though like his Headstomp not having OTG properties and Inferno xx EX headstomp not working anymore in Vtrig, so doesn't matter a whole lot.

Yeah, they seem to be from the last beta so some stuff might not work.
 
It's Karin's longest range poke(shoutouts to juicebox).

Yeah it does have quite a bit of range, it's so slow that dash > shoulder seems faster and reaches farther though. I don't know how safe they are comparably, however. Wish I could get real training mode time. I also couldn't get jump after guard working properly.

It isn't.

Don't throw it out a lot though, like you said its slow.
 
What does Zangief V-Trigger does when he's on his 'Red State' ??
