I fought someone named Juicebox. Not sure if it was him or an imposter, but I got destroyed. May as well have been him.

I fought him too(he was using Ken). I actually took a round and was somewhat close in the final which is closer than I would have ever expected.
 
They call it Street Fighter 5 because it keeps me up until 5 in the morning...

I'm going to sleep.

Beta Mini-review: the game is good. A+++ would binge-play again.
 
Is there any chance Qanba Ps3 sticks are going to be supported for SFV on Ps4? I really don't want to pay 200 bucks for a new Ps4 only stick. :/
 
I wonder if there will be any big SFIV players that will absolutely bomb at the adjustment.

I think if they do, it won't be because they can play the game well enough. It would probably me more a case of not liking how 5 plays and losing interest.
 
I played 3 more matches and I went 2-1. I won against equally matched Vega and Necalli. The only match I lost was to a Mika player who knew what they were doing and neutered me good.

Am I mistaken in thinking that Mika has an infinite combo in the corner? Because that's what it seemed like to me. It felt way too good.

I also leveled Cammy up to Level 1! YAY!

EDIT: Apparently it's a reset, but it was done like 4 times. Seems kinda broken.

Can I use that excuse for me and my time with sf4?
 
About 2% of those that will be good will stop it because they don't like it.

The rest are sourpuss.

I'm just saying that I don't think any of the current sf4 top players will fall off in a big way in sf5 unless it's from a motivational reason.


Unrelated, just found a lvl 39 rank 411 necalli player. How do you even get to lvl 39 so fast? Must've been playing non stop since beta start.
Beat his ass 2-0
 
Ken is unpunishable as mika or something. He grabbed me out of a wake ex shooting peach, even though my animation started. Then he did that jumping whirlwind move into shoryuken even though I blocked the whirlwind move and tried to grab him
 
Rollback > Delay. So glad capcom went with it again after cross tekken. I don't know what the people who were like "sf4's online is way better than cross tekken's" were smoking.

I thought SF4's online was okay. It definitely had problems, but they weren't the norm.

They still need to fix some things with SF5, like rankings and stuff updating, because nothing seems like it is, at least on PC.
 
It's really funny and kind of annoying how many times I've seen people (and I'm not talking about Gaf posters so this isn't an assault on members here) jumping to conclusions so quickly about SF5. "X character is the worst in the game," "SF5 doesn't have enough combos," "X character is too strong," etc. When not only is it a beta, but it's been in people's hands for like 3 days.

Guilty Gear Xrd is delay based and it doesn't feel any worse than SF V .

Bad netcode is bad regardless how it works, look at mortal kombat.

Or look at KOF 13 on console compared to Steam version.

But I have an extremely good connection so maybe i'm an exception.

It's always the same. I remember Ultra SF4 a lot of people were bitching at release day.
 
He had a crazy winstreak at SCR a couple of weeks ago with Rashid. Any interesting setups you remember?

He can access his replays. Hell so can you if he gives you his name.

Except that's a bad example because Ultra is pretty much shit. ;D

There's a ceiling to how good delay-based netcode can be. You will always be executing several frames behind where you are offline.
 
SFV plays so much better than IV
I honestly feel it's as different from IV as IV was to III(and III to II), but I'd be hard pressed to call it better just yet. The only real issue I ever had with IV was the ability to FADC out of Shoryuken style moves. Other than that, I feekk it is it's own game and does the franchise justice about keeping past entries relevant by being extremely different. It's not an expansion of a past title, but a complete reimagining of them. SFV seems to follow the same logic, as it's quite the alternative beast to SFIV, but that's what makes it as good as it is.

Outside of good design, of course.
 
I think KI is the gold standard for netcode. The best players in ranked for KI are those who appeared in Top 8 at EVO. I think it's a genius setup that more fighting games should try to achieve, potentially with 120fps under the hood at some point.

I hope the final beta is just every character. That'd be awesome, but I doubt it will.
 
I find rollback disorienting and if given the choice would prefer delay.

It's only disorientating if there's lag, and there should only be lag if your connection is complete shit or your accepting bad connections.

This beta isn't allowing you to view pings and pick your matches.
 
This game is so good and lives up to the hype. The mind games just seem so much better than IV,the different characters V Skilĺs and Triggers etc all just work so good and every character feels so different.
