Well still haven't had any matches. Good times in the practice room with some more Vega and Mika. Hopefully we'll see some better performance tomorrow.

Yeah, I saw that. I'm a little less sympathetic than I was in August considering this is their third attempt at a beta. The fact that it sounds like this issue is going to last through Sunday is what annoys me the most, I'd rather they just delayed it a couple weeks until they got this shit sorted.

"it's a beta" is usually a good excuse but usually you can at least actually play the beta. If it's not down then the only thing people can do it be in the training mode.

Wow Max just said that Capcom said the matchmaking won't work the entirety of this BETA, they can't fix the problem. They haven't announced making it longer either.

And best of all, they brought back 1frames link.

According to him.

Are they trying to sabotage this game ?

Typo perhaps? Seems like such a.. straightforward thing to say day 1

Well.. that is what Capcom said, so.. yeah.

The 1 frame link thing can't be true. I refuse to believe it (unless he means there's 1 frame links in very specific, uncommon situations due to engine oddities).

It's a very specific uncommon situation, what he demo'd was a a "1 frame link" that required him to walk forward a little bit mid-combo to get it to combo. It's likely not intended to exist.

Yeah i'm pretty sure Alioune made a video the first day of the first beta test about that lol, nothing to worry about, it's not added on purpose.

I'm curious if they had matchmaking problems like this for SF4, MvC3, SFxT, etc. during roughly the same development period. I remember SFxT had a lot of awful online issues at launch but they fixed those pretty quickly.

There was a point in the last beta where I got into a ton of matches. Like a minute of wait between them, it was p ok.

Dunno how they came back from that.

But he specifically Ken used to be able to do all that easily.

And now it turned into 1f links.

That are not even intended. He said Ken feels way higher in terms of execution than the rest of the cast and compared to his older version that he tested, for no reason.

He also showcased how useless they made his Vskill.

Sigh. Oh well they still have months of tinkering the game.

Mad dramatic tho.

Always.

Don't know what everyone was complaining about with nacalli. He's got a ton of tools and sick pressure to be very cool to watch.

That nerf everything balance that Capcom likes to employ. Pretty soon everyone will be like SF4 DeeJay..

You know , it's great that they still put this beta up even with the apparent issues and I had some fun for about an hour but I'm kind of hoping they have a breakthrough during the first downtime and figure out how to clean the matchmaking up a bit. It was working so well last time ! I'm assuming adding in all the fighter net stuff broke something somewhere.

For reference , during the periodic stress tests I got 2 matches in about an hour after 2 separate sittings. Tonight I logged in (which took 4 tries and it still booted me 3 times after I did get in) and about an hour of training later I didn't get a match. The game was trying the entire time but for whatever reason it just wouldn't work.

Beta gonna beta I guess.

Unfortunately, several new issues arose last night in regards to our match-making system and the rate at which matches were made, and we are not confident that the matchmaking rate will improve significantly throughout the course of this beta period. That said, user experiences will vary.
As such, we want to inform our users that the beta 2 experience will likely be limited and will not operate exactly as we intended. As planned, we will keep the servers up for the previously-announced timeframes, however, matchmaking will likely take place very slowly. While players wait for online matches, they are free to access training mode, and there are new features added to this version that allow players to change the training dummy to be computer AI, or be playable by a friend locally.

i'm actually glad, because i wanna practice necalli 1st, and the cpu level 8 seemed pretty strong judging from streams

It's a problem when other characters do twice the damage without them and they're not intended to be part of the game.

Also, online. 3frames buffer makes it very easy to find proper opponents online. 1F links is pretty much forcing you to play nearby players. Cool for you if you're american, the rest of the world doesn't have scenes and we'd like to be able to enjoy other countries players too.

Ken's V-trigger is good. Not sure what people were expecting out of it. Until we have frame data, it's tough to say how the rest of him fares, but the more limited range on his cr.MK are replaced by the reach and active frames of his cr.MP. And they limited his range because he can run.
