Hey, you're off of work?! Perfect time to shut the servers down! Derp!

Don't worry. They'll be up at 2am/5am. Perfect times!

 

[ExVicis]

A shame for people who works during the day.

Hey I only got to play about roughly an hour myself, I had classes. Capcom really kinda screwed over the East coast with these times.

 

[EndlessSky]

Damn, me and my opponent were literally at 1 hp each round 3 when the maintenance came lol.

 

[CrackPebbles]

Got booted. Was getting tons of matches in.

Nerf Mika

Get gud.

Nerf Mika

Da booty is too strong.

 

[BadWolf]

It probably got changed for this beta, because the in-game command list indicates 2 x QCB for Peach Assault, while it's still HCB for Rainbow Typhoon or Brimstone.

Her V-Reversal is now Forward + KKK

and her CA is 2X QCB + P

I think everything else is still accurate though.

Oh okay, thanks guys.

 

[Kane1345]

A lot of input lag in my last few games. I'm from the UK and the last 4 games I played were against US opponents (assuming they picked the US flag) and playing with Mika was really hard.

 

[PadWarrior]

So it's back 2am est?

 

[Remapped88]

Damnit, just got back from work and only played like 4 matches. Gotta wait till Friday I guess.

 

[Asd202]

Can't wait for Karin.

 

[J-Skee]

Just played the second beta for the first time before getting kicked off of the server. Got my ass handed to me but holy shit am I loving it. Ken is so fast is aggressive. Need more hands on time with it though.

 

[gozu]

The netcode was top tier for me. I forgot I was playing online.

Well done Capcom!

My only gripe is that the menus could stand to be snappier.

 

[Omnistalgic]

When does this come back on for east coast people?

 

[neonxaos]

Any European that needs a beta code? Quote this and get it.

I do... I preordered the PS4 version late, didn't get beta access. Considered cancelling and going for the PC version instead.

lol fuck
seriously?

CAPCOOOOMMM

 

[Collateral22]

Beta down now I presume? Getting 2100d error.

 

[Remapped88]

When does this come back on for east coast people?

5am. I'm on the East Coast too and that's the hour before I get up for work.

Yeah, game needs a UI overhaul. Not feeling a SF vibe.

Yeah, it sucks, but unfortunately when you're doing a worldwide beta with 12 hour maintenance periods, someone's gotta get fucked over.

 

[Kane1345]

I really like Mika and want to learn her (mainly because I'm a massive wrestling fan ). I've never played a grappler in Street Fighter; does anyone have any tips for strategy, combos etc and what I should be doing in training mode? Thanks

Might as well add west coast to that, too. Don't get off until 7 and I'm gonna be nodding off by the time the servers come back up.

But I have my regular 3 days weekends for this beta.

great beta day. all in on Claw for now, he's fucking NICE

 

[Omnistalgic]

tks man...looks like we'll get another short session in. Anyone, for my Ken peeps, he's very different from SF4, and to be honest, not really nob-friendly in this, but here's a combo video showing his potential damage off stuff.

[Greenymac]

I wish I could do Ken's ex air tatsu off a back jump. Silly that I can do it off a neutral and forward jump but not back.

I noticed that this morning. If you could do it on a jump back the pressure and cross up possibilities would be ridiculous. Maybe just too much.

 

[kodecraft]

Yeah, game needs a UI overhaul. Not feeling a SF vibe.

Yep, boring ass UI. Capcom pls.

 

[KidA Seven]

Yep, boring ass UI. Capcom pls.

It's better than SF4s

 

[ZangBa]

I ended up liking Necalli the most despite not caring at all about him before. I played like 15 matches or so and feel like that's good enough for me this phase, it's all right so far.

 

[RedEther]

Can't wait to play auto pilot Rashid

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The UI is absolutely fine.

 

[Pompadour]

Yep, boring ass UI. Capcom pls.

It's simple and 10x better than either SF4 or SFxT's UIs that constantly ejaculated fire and electricity.

Anyway, got home at 4:30 go enjoy my first taste of beta 2 for an entire half hour and never got a single match.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

The UI is fine, imo.
Simple and sleek.

 

[Pachinko]

I got home from work early , managed to get about 30 minutes in - 3 Necalli players mostly beat the silicone out of my R Mika and then a beat up an imposter Mika followed by 2 losses to 2 kens and finished off against another imposter Mika that I handed a beat down too. I gotta say I'm loving how Rainbow plays , every hit feels so darn satisfying.

Now I guess I play the waiting game until I'm home tomorrow afternoon

 

[Lulubop]

Yep, boring ass UI. Capcom pls.

It's fine, it's slick and simple. It doesn't need anything just because.

This sucks.

I still haven't been able to play a second of the beta. The only time it lined up well with my schedule was when it was having server issues and no one could play.

It's especially bad for me, as I'm in New York and only get 3 days because I'm on PC. I hope to god my itinerary at work is light tomorrow... -_-

 

[kirblar]

SF3 says hi.

 

[Hutchie]

Loving ken but his v skill is so unsafe its untrue. Hopefully they tune it in the final game

 

[LowParry]

So is it working? I can play!? Just got home. I need some Mika/Vega play action!

Edit: Noooo server down!?

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

I'm loving it so far. All 4 characters are interesting and as a person not very good at Street Fighter (yet loving playing them for over 20 years) I am having a lot of fun.

 

[BizzyBum]

Why are they doing maintenance during prime times?

 

[LucidMomentum]

As a PC player, is it stable and are enough matches going on that I should pre-order to test it out? I really want to, but not if PC is a graveyard or cross play with PS4 isn't working well yet.

 

[pizzacat]

I love how straightforward Mika's intro quote is. Just, "I'll kick your ass!" Succinct.

I currently suck at pulling off the 2 x QCB + P motion, for some reason. Always miss it when it counts.

Practice it, set a number of times you must do it in a row

 

[j.rob]

Don't want to be a beg, but anyone got a PS+ Trial lying around I can use? My 3 month membership I got for MKX ended just before this beta hit and I don't really want to pay another £15 for a few days worth of SF5.

Even if its like a 2 day one or something ahaha.

 

[Ferrio]

Why are they doing maintenance during prime times?

Worldwide beta isn't it?

 

[PadWarrior]

Yup this is me in nut shell. I suck but still have fun

 

[BizzyBum]

Worldwide beta.

Yeah but... we're the most important. =(
