You must not have had the honor of playing against ToolAssisted.

[-Pyromaniac-]

I got 2 matches pretty quickly the last few mins.

 

[Zombegoast]

In years of SF4 on Steam and GFWL I never faced anyone "cheating"... besides people hacking BP/PP

Lucky you, I have played against several lag switchers.

 

[Swarna]

Of all the ways to cheat in SF4 none of them are common at all and aren't exclusive to the PC version. Except maybe Ken bot can't be done on consoles but he hasn't been active in years.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Had some more matches and got kicked.
Guess its over.

Edit: Nvm, got back in.

Watching these videos always remind me of the time I played against his Blanka, as if playing against Blanka isn't bad enough. Nightmare fuel.

 

[TheOGB]

I need a stick immediately, lol

 

[Dark Ninja]

I got a couple of matches were back baby

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

This is designed for a widespread audience, not just to make one person happy.tbh

It's not going to draw the audience they're aiming for. Stubby normals, shitty throws, glacial walk speeds, and limited combo opportunities aren't going to keep poor players from getting frustrated. They'll just find something else to blame their losses on and go back to CoD/LoL/some other team game.

A robust single player mode would have been a draw but it looks like they're going for a visual novel-style presentation and that is not going to fly with casual players.

The first beta was very fun. I spent every free moment I had trying to log in. Every test since then has been worse. I found the Laura stress test build so underwhelming I quit after, like, an hour, and it's not because they nerfed my character, cuz my characters weren't even playable. It just felt like shit.

Is the ps4 controller working for anyone on PC beta? it won't recognize mine

Pretty sure you need a 3rd party program like inputmapper to get the ps4 controller working on pc

Does that mean PS3 controllers are working now or do we still need a program for that, too?

It's usually plug in and play with the ds4. Finding it weird how SFV won't recognize the controller but SFIV will.

My ds4 have never been plug and play on my pc, it's never worked unless I've used a third party program to make it work.

Finding matches again

 

["God's Beard!"]

Speaking of Tool Assisted, I just got matched against him but it dropped before the match started. I guess his Necalli bot is buggy.

 

[Ragnorok64]

Man I've been pretty much ignoring the beta since I didn't have a PS4 enabled stick and the whole start on the side you ending on thing totally screwed with my head.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Consistently getting matches now

 

[The Yo Tornado]

Man, I am getting my ass beat tonight. I did a lot better in the last PC beta. I can't even use the character excuse because I played the hell out of Ryu and Mika then, too.

Netcode seems a little iffier than last time. Still playable, but a lot more hiccup-y.

 

[Secret Character]

Man, Mika is good. They took away a tool, though. No more s.MP after charged HK.

 

[Ragnorok64]

I haven't put any time into Street Fighter in like forever. My mind is still in the mode where I think I can air-block.

 

[TheOGB]

Won my first match against a bashful Mika, after getting bopped twice and losing on a double KO

This dpad is not working out well for me, heh. I've come a long way from my pad warrior days, this feels foreign to me.

 

[DR2K]

All these Ryu nerfs are so beautiful.

Srk barely does any damage now except on counter hit. Its magic.

The counter hit properties to dragon punches are amazing.

 

[blackadde]

it's crazy how unsafe hadou is on block. like approaching 3s level of nuts. try any normal xx hadou vs necali mashing ex DP and you get punished even at max range. and you can only blockstring into it from like 2 normals.

 

[Zombegoast]

Finally got in on PC. Played tons against PS4 owners with some of the performance kinda iffy. One of them was unplayable to fight against because the game was running at 1fps. I couldn't throw fireballs and DP and it was impossible to see what was going on in the screen so I just spam regular throw and won the game. Only lost one game from someone on PC player who mashes DP in a block string and lagged bad enough that Ryu shouted the move one second it came out. Even with a 7 win streak the announcer kept saying I only won 2 ranked matches and then 3 and back to two.

Also what Ryu nerf?

 

[Tan]

Huh just noticed training mode still has the high/med bug

 

[Vans]

Is the game supposed to be this unplayable? Literally every match I get ends up with my opponent teleporting all over the place and beating me.

I'm very frustrated.

Use the Connection Status filter to get rid of poverty internet users.

It's definitely much worse than during the second beta.

Also, I'm once again getting no matches. Got 2 back to back, now 10 minutes and nothing

I got matched with someone using a Japanese flag and it wasn't even that bad. Not great, but playable.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

Well, this beta was the first time I heard Mika's character theme. It's pretty rad. The character themes are so much better than the stage ones in SFV so far, imo.

 

[Vans]

I tried setting this to "5" and it matched me with a player from Japan for some reason. I think this setting might not be entirely accurate.

 

[Ragnorok64]

Are people still getting matches?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

It's not going to draw the audience they're aiming for. Stubby normals, shitty throws, glacial walk speeds, and limited combo opportunities aren't going to keep poor players from getting frustrated. They'll just find something else to blame their losses on and go back to CoD/LoL/some other team game.

Those are lost causes in the first place. Nothing will make that kind of people stick to any fighting game.

 

[Trickster]

nope

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Are people still getting matches?

I was. Turned it off though.
Rank 2 is a good place to stop.

 

[Tan]

Are people still getting matches?

I am

 

[Ragnorok64]

Just got another match.

I've literally forgotten how to Street Fighter, not that I was ever good to begin with but my mind is straight up not in any kind of Street Fighter mode.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Are people still getting matches?

Ive been getting matches for the past hour or so all ok to good connections

 

[Secret Character]

Wow... just lost to the most random Ryu ever. Had a bunch of points, too, but didn't really seem to have a strategy.

Feels bad to lose to that.

Wow, that's scary. That ultra on backdash is great though.

I feel like the problem is probably on your end or your ISP's if this is happening consistently.

I've had about a dozen matches and only one of them has been a teleport-fest so far.

 

[paolo11]

Finally got to training mode with CPU enabled. On PC using 970m laptop, it ran max settings 60fps 1080p locked. Happy about this.

 

[Askherserenity]

Ended up buying it from Amazon to get a code.

Having fun getting my ass kicked as Mika.

Damn you Capcom for not letting me sleep.

 

[Dark Ninja]

This is gonna be great once its out, bypassing the character select screen is great.

Beta 2 was super good in terms of lag for me, this stress test is complete shit by comparison. And nothing's changed on my end since beta 2

 

[Moaradin]

Played like 15 games so far. Only 1 was laggy as hell. Pretty much the same for me since Beta 2.
