Reakky enjoyed all the time I got in the beta. Karin, Ken and Vega are really fun to use and pull off combos with. The only thing I have to get used to now is the pace of the game. There were a moments when I got caught by dash up grab or karins command dash into grab since they're pretty fast. Playing against good Rashids are pretty overwhelming too.
It does. You just have to delay the command, rather than cancel the c.MK straight into QCF K.
Delay it slightly, as if it was a very quick link rather than a cancel.
Another thing that works is doing TK QCF K~P, it's almost always just enough time, but I prefer to just delay it, takes a bit of practice to get used to, but it's very consistent.
It's even easier if you just use st.MP rather than c.MK, but the range is worse, so I'd recommend getting used to c.MK's timing.
EDIT: Also canceling c.MK straight into the QCF K and delayed P also works, but it was less consistent in my experience. Another thing is cancelling c.MK into QCF K and then double tapping P, but that's too much work, I prefer to use the delayed QCF K~P method.
That I think might be too hard for me to do consistently. Jab into QCB K will probably be my jab punish.

What is the range on that like? L version, M version, H version? I only played her once.

Birdie could have jabbed out when he went for the moonsault or just used EX bull charge since that has armor on it. There is a gap between the block string and the moonsault. The sad thing is that after every moonsault that Birdie just stopped blocking and got counter hit every single time instead of trying something else. The moonsault is + on block (or close to neutral, I don't have frame data on hand to check), so generally if you block it just keep blocking for a bit and watch out for a throw attempt.

One of the big things I really need to work on is not being afraid to use meter. I usually just save it for the super but I shouldn't be stingy with my meter. So many matches I could of won using my meter instead of saving it.
Hahahah, fair enough. A bad call. I just it had just invincible frames on startup or a faster startup or something like that. As they are now, his divekicks are kinda shitty.
Yeah, I know.
His d.mp antiair would've stopped the flash kick clean.

Yeah, gonna have some bad habits to break, tried back dashing on wakeup a few times, several years of invincible back dashes it became somewhat of an instinct.
Karin's pressure tool with the command dash using the light kick is similar to Guy's run-stop, though less controlled. And he had the same problem with jabs, so really, it's a matter of conditioning people to block to get things going. But it's online, most opponents are going to be button pressers, so you should just play it safe. That's the way I see it, anyway.
Edit: Quoted the wrong person.
Couldn't figure out a good way to use meter with Rashid. The one is a decent GTFO move, but I didn't get what the other ones would be good for.

They seem to be good combo material. Someone posted a video showing how he can use an EX dive kick to get a stun in 1 combo + 1 reset.
I also can't praise Ryu's animations enough. SO GOOD.
You can feel every punch, I love this. I'll miss his st. MP and c. HP going back to Ultra.
But I also miss his far HP from IV in this game. It would look incredible. I don't care if it's bad, that animation is godlike.
They kinda gave it to Ken, but it's lame, just like Ken.
Right, but I get more confused about the meter. I know the health is full when round 2 starts, so I only check the bars, and I usually then have to check the health bar as well to see if the portrait reflects my character.
Then, if it's a mirror match, I'm fucked.
But maybe it's just me and everyone else had no problem adjusting.

So when's beta 3?
I think you'll get used to it in due time as you'll probably be checking the HUDs constantly.
Something that initially threw me for a loop was not watching the opponent's stun bar often enough. So at times I'd waste meter on a max-damage combo, only to watch them fall right through while dizzied.
I'm sure that's exactly the reason. While playing on PS4, I could see someone's Capcom Fighters Network ID & their PSN ID, but if they were playing on PC, I could only see their CFN ID.
It looked like it had the same range as the hk version, but I can't say for sure. Ex Dash into Orochi after a fireball was a good way to get a crumple on careless Ryu/Ken players.
It ended an hour and a half ago.
It's like a faster H version of her command dash. I didn't know it had that functionality so it could be useful outside of combos, at least.
Of course, Karin destroys zoning so easily I can't see why someone would chuck fireballs at her.

SFV has a lot of characters that I want to play as opposed to the other games in the series which was just Ryu and Decapre(Dropped Juri after Ultra came out). Hoping they get better when the game comes out.

I had a lot of fun with the beta until I started getting matched up with Cammy players. Vega and Rashid are more fun than I ever would've expected. I wish I'd gotten to play more of it, but I still got 75+ matches and 3200+ LP, so I can't complain.

you're not the only one, fuck mirror matches
i think getting rid of the fade would go a long way to getting rid of the confusion
Def.
Combo into ex qcb k causes a juggle and you can follow up with qcf mp
Edit sorry for double post

I thought Ono said that it was because it caused glitches?
Tekken, VF etc. still have them though?
Ooh I'll remember that for next beta. Though I did enjoy antiairing with Rashid's super. Especially Vega players who think it's a good idea to do a Barcelona attack when I'm fully stocked.
That's my favourite thing about Rising Thunder.
That would be great, especially since SF5 is a really high damage game

I think Capcom devs said that's the reason they took it out of later versions of SFIV. However, around the time of USF4 being released an American Capcom rep (Combofiend, I think) said that the after KO hit would sometimes cause the game to freeze so they removed it.
I'd rather have a salty runback system, and Rising Thunder is actually the example I'd use for this. Being stuck with 2/3 when the connection sucks is rough.
Salty runback with fight money would be amazing.
