Street Fighter V Beta IV Thread: Jan 30-31

My performance on my PC has been shockingly bad. How low I have to put the settings seems a bit too much. I have an i5 alienware alpha.
 
45 minutes of play with Rashid, and I'm satisfied. 4 won, 5 lost, which is better than my normal record against humans.

I feel like this game teaches you the importance of footsies really well. I've had a couple matches against newbies where I purposely hung back, and you could see them freeze with no idea what to do to approach me.
 
I just went straight to practice mode yesterday to get matches and didn't bother with any connection settings. Over 95% of the matches I played, during the 6 or so hours, had a very solid connection. Great netcode.
 
I wish the Playstation Camera was default active for a mic on this

That way everyone could hear my saltiness at complete nonsense happening, I've seen some real fucked up shit happen on both sides of the coin because of online garbage
 
It's crazy seeing people not being able to get a lot of matches. I don't think I've ever went more than 5 minutes without getting a game.

However, even after setting connection status to 4-5 I still run into some lag.

I salute those who've committed to Bison.

He's actually my secondary main at this point after Mika. I've stepped away from Birdie for a bit.

Bison feels really solid and steady to me. His slower walking speed and charge moves has in turn slowed me down (coming from Mika's frenetic pace is a big adjustment) and made me more methodical with him, which has helped me in matches. People still fall for air to air MP juggle into Super.

He strikes me as character with good normals who can get in and overwhelm you at any given moment but is also comfortable keeping space.

Let us know what you settle with. I quickly took a look with my alpha i3, 8gb ram, 7200rpm drive. 720p at max seemed fine but looked horrible. I didnt try messing around with 1080p much.
 
I noticed that PC-PS4 connections are noticeably worse, they just start to stutter at some point.

Had no problems with this last night. I've only been playing on PC and it has been great for me. The performance issues I had in earlier betas are gone and PC-PS4 matches are smooth. I'm really starting to reconsider getting this on both platforms now...PC is great,
 
What does Zangief V-Trigger does when he's on his 'Red State' ??
He gets armor and he can use his vortex to pull people to him
Why thank you. Did ya know that when his V-trigger is activated and he's close enough, his forward dash can actually teleport him to the other side.
I saw a guy on Infiltration's stream dash through and hit him Nash-style, it looked so fucking scary. His normal dash goes through fireballs as well, fucking awesome.

Only problem is that he has no way to open up people who are content with blocking. His "mix ups" are all telegraphed so he relies on conditioning.

Technical character, but fun af. Even if he turns out bad I'll keep using him.
 
Thoughts on Laura

She's probably the Dan of this game (That's giving her too much credit because at least Dan has good normals). I can do a lot with Zangief, Karin and Charlie but with Laura she really has nothing other than extending her combo after her S.MK with V-Trigger and allowing her to do an air reset off her EX-Fireball. You have to be Mike Ross to fall for this .Fighting her isn't fun it's very lame as well as playing as her. And her theme, What the hell Capcom?
 
Jesus. I have hours of lesson and Unit planning ahead of me today, but the only thing I want to teach is Street Fighter 5 to myself. Sigh.
