Street Fighter V Beta IV Thread: Jan 30-31

This continues to look like pure fucking shit. Man fuck Capcom. How could they go so far off the rails? I can't believe it. The combat looks like some stupid ass quick time event. V triggers? V skills? Fat Birdie? Drab boring environments. Fuck this game, fuck everyone at Capcom. I'm so disgusted by this garbage. Why did you do this to my favorite series? Why did you ruin it? I'm almost in tears over this shit.

Just make a new, good Street Fighter. Please. Not whatever the fuck you're trying to make now.
Why do you hate your fans? Why are you constantly fucking us over? I'm sick of this shit.
New system mechanics and a fat guy ruin the game for you?

That's it I'm calling it a day. Just got beat by the worst Birdie ever with low points just by air chain grabbing me bc I kept jumping in like a fool. Also a shitty Ken kept taunting me.

Lol

You're sounding like a Melee fan.
 
Chun doing good things for me. I can't pull off charge moves worth shit but It'll come.

So far I've used Karin, Gief, Chun, Ryu and Cammy.

Think Chun and Karin will be my go to characters.

I am interested in playing Rashid however.
 
I played like 12 to 14 hours of beta over the weekend, mostly Karin and Gief with some Sim. The connection was smooth for most of my games. The biggest problem I had was playing on pad, I missed a lot of anti airs.
 
What the heck is Vegas V-Reversal for? Seems useless.

His vreversal is one of the best, free escape from almost everything. In the corner you can even use it to punish shit. Like if Nash cancels into flip, you can vreversal, recover and combo him.
 
So my 6 win streak was fallowed by a 5 loss streak with Rashid,

I quited before letting that become 6.

What I enjoy about this game is that every character is fun to play, I am having a hard time deciding wich will be my main
 
Out of curiosity, what do you consider fundamentals? Just being decent at SFII or combo basics or something else?

Basics.

Spacing, knowing what attacks to combo at least, anti airing, mixups... etc.

I am 14-1 so far, almost to 700lp. Network has been very good so far.
 
Just barely crawled beyond 1k LP. A good enough point for me to stop at. One day I will get the full game and will get bodied online some more...
 
The CPU is pretty godlike. Can hitconfirm after 1 hit into super/v-trigger, Chun does the air legs on low level even. It might be an even worse CPU than 4 had.

I watched a few replays of top 10 players, but didn't see anything nearly as intense as training mode's CPU level 6 (let alone 7-8).
 
I just came back after finally turning off the desktop. Damn, it's been years since I last played Street Fighter for hours and hours on end. A thirteen win streak is nice, but I wish I'd gotten to 2K LP. Every single time I got close to 1800 someone just came and smacked me down. On the bright side I did manage to reach the top 4k. People in the top 1k must not be sleeping at all.

Also, Karin is the new Ken and that only disappoints me slightly. She must be the most used character of the beta so far imo. Makes me feel good, but I'm not big on mirror matches.
 
done for today but i'm leaving feeling pretty positive about the game. i wasn't really feeling it last beta but i'm liking what i'm seeing now. can't wait to get into training mode without getting interrupted every 20 or 30 sec for a match. plus now i'll be able to play gaffers and train together which is what i'm planning to do to learn the basics for a lot of characters. really hoping the new madcatz pad is good so i'm not held back by execution.

looks like i'll be having to catch up to you just like when marvel 3 was released a long time ago. can't wait for the player matches. :P

Thanks for that clarification. I could use work on all of those. Trying to figure out what attacks are good defense against jumping mixups is what I'm working on now. Someone here said standing strong is good with Nash. Jab has worked pretty good on wakeup against aggressive players. Nash has a horrible wakeup game. I know right now that Ryu, Ken, Cammy and Rashid are dangerous on wakeup, so bait it or keep your distance.

My mixups are basically, you don't know if I'll sweep or overhead while your down. I'm not good enough to combo into anything from that yet. If I try to jump into a mixup I would probably confuse myself right now.

I can't wait to see you at that midnight launch ;^)
 
It's pretty interesting to see even mediocre players (judging by anti-airs, hit-confirms etc) do very advanced combos. Could maybe end up being boring.

I watched a few replays of top 10 players, but didn't see anything nearly as intense as training mode's CPU level 6 (let alone 7-8).
Chun does close range Kikoken and hit confirms into super, it's amazing. Her V-Trigger combos, too. All at level 6.
 
Everyone is drooling over their precious LP even though it'll be disappear into the ether by the end of the night.

Needed this laugh after the last two lag fest matches. Good job.

You're right. I'm guilty of it too. I'm going to get back on in a little bit and see if I can lose it all. I got past 1000 while beating players I never thought I could beat and that's all that matters. Win or lose, I'm getting better.
 
You guys shouldn't fret so much about the points. It's about how you are playing, not the points.

I think it's too early for a tier list as well. But I assume PR is just looking at the tools and seeing how they are going to play out. I think most people are just basing tiers and who is good based on who they are losing to and they find annoying right now. We need more time.

The netcode really is bumming me out. I fear it is just not gonna work good with my connection, if this is how it is going to be. I don't have issues with my 360 or PS4 Ultra, so I don't know what the deal is. I have it for only 5 bar connections as well. We shall see. Maybe I will fiddle with port forwarding.
 
Just had a bizarre ragequit.

Sim player used vtrigger. I blocked everything and ran away to regen my health. He saw that and just DC'd lmao.
 

I would swap Birdie and Cammy in for Vega and Sim (or just add them to the upper tier). 90% of my losses are to Nash and Cammy.

Guys I'm dropping in LP again, please help!

Quick, switch to Ryu. Fundamentals will be there even when your mind is playing tricks on you!

I do hope the netcode is better in February. A good chunk of my losses were against lesser opponents due to rollback.

Go for it. He has no wake up option and has no good AA.

Crouching medium punch seems to be pretty strong.

lol, lame can't take lame. Unsurprising. I keep thinking Sim players are gonna DC once they figure out I'm jabbing them out of those SF4 teleport tactics every time.
 
Bumped into that Sim that bodied me earlier... I BEAT HIS ASS with raw new necalli, fuck I needed that. Beempn on a losing streak.
