Yeah, Laura's normal don't seem very good at all. I think her cr. mk is really solid though.

And I'm wondering if the official beta test will have more features. The stress test for the 2nd beta was missing some stuff that got enabled when it officially began. Would be nice.

And that's the problem people have. They got attached to the 1st beta. They keep comparing Ryu to how he was then instead of looking at what he has now. I've played Ryu tons in the 1st beta and I've been playing him nonstop now. The complaints are so overblown. In this build, some of the things Ryu has:
-Good damage (He does good damage while doing a good amount of stun)
-Solid normals
-Good amount of links
-Reliable anti-air
-decent reversal
-Good v-trigger that he can cancel into off of any normal
-Good critical art that has numerous ways you can combo into

Has Ryu lost things since the 1st beta? Yeah, but its really not as bad as people make it seem. He's still a solid character, imo. Again, try not to just focus on what he doesn't have and look at what he does.

I've played him quite a bit last night and today and I wholeheartedly disagree. With his current options I'm finding him pretty boring and limited and he's more difficult to play now because of the removed links. Getting in position to do damage and in range of his normals is hard because so many characters out range him and his move set doesn't allow him to get in at all. He's solid if everybody else is just as bad.

Okay, I'm apparently done with SFV Betas until they let us do training mode for some period of time at least. It's just instantly throwing me into match after match (which is good) against people who have thousands of fucking LP where I just get immediately fucking destroyed (which is not good). I don't even have a full grasp of the game's basic mechanics (I only have gotten to play like 3 matches across all of the betas, with a character that's not even in this one) and the game won't let me spend literally more than 2 goddamn seconds trying learn them. I don't think I've straight rage-quit a game in years, but holy shit

You can stil do the training mode trick to avoid having to play matches while practicing.

Guys, use Lura's fireballs to cover her approach. Use them to set up ambiguity between her strikes and throws.

Also, try mixing up between her crouching HK and her overhead V Skill at max distances. Hope this helps!

He's solid because he has good normals...beyond his laughable lp, and good damage. Easy confirms into Super as well. But he is more boring since they dropped his beta 1 stuff.

Yeah, 1st beta Ryu felt like a fresh and improved Ryu and now he feels like the same and simple boring Ryu. Imo, it was the funnest version of Ryu alongside his 3S/TvC versions.

Pick the character you want to train with as second player and use the record feature to practice without getting interrupted by online matches.

Oh that's neat, thanks for the heads up. Guess that makes sense since the game can't/won't interrupt the recording. I've already bailed for tonight but I will keep that in mind for future betas :D

Delete beta and download it again in your Library. Sucks but it's the only way for some reason.

Yes, you have to do this. No, I don't know why.

Does anyone have any idea what the announcer lady says on the loading screen something along the lines of "you are in the top.." but can't ever hear the rest because the music is louder than her.

It sounds like she's saying your in the top 100 ranked something but they're not tracking anything so everyone is rank 000

We'll run today's test for two more hours. Apologies to those that are still trying to re-download the beta client.

Laura is refreshing in some ways, but her best stuff feels gimmicky rather than dependable. Also all her properties are on the "wrong moves", lol. Ex throw is her slowest, for example, has no invuln, etc. She seems worse at pokes than almost anyone, and her projevtile doesn't feel so strong a tool as to make this fair.

I like her concept so far, and shes's great when fighting aganist easily read offensive people. But vs. Defensive ones, she feels like she slogs through matches.

Could you always quick stand after a super in this game? For some reason I thought you couldn't but someone just did that to me.
