After getting four matches in my first half hour, I haven't gotten any over the past 45 minutes. There's only so many times I can practice the same link. ;-;

Has anyone tried using windowed mode on PC, yet? The game puts the top of the window off-screen and I can't center it as a result.

Is it just me or is there some weird input lag with the PC version? At first I was suspecting AutoHotKey but even without it everything feels somewhat delayed.

Why doesn't it make sense?

I've only ever played Chun-li (aside from Ryu back in 2009) so while playing Ken in SF5 everything is completely different. It's like trying to play a game and get the feel for it when you've no idea what the controls are, you're not really going to understand it well until it clicks for you.

Ryu plays differently in SFV too. It's a new game, new system, new combos, new properties. We all have our ways, but things are going to be new and different anyway; your SF4 combos aren't going to work in V, so why not pick a character you're unfamiliar with? Shouldn't impair you from "understanding" the game unless you only have like 3 minutes to play, in which case things won't click regardless of who you choose. Embrace it.

Edit: Chun Li plays differently too.

I'm using a custom 6 button stick based on a Madcatz 360 pad pcb, good, right?

Can I just preorder on Steam now and get in? Am I charged for the pre-order now?

I keep getting random crashes on PC, possibly when it's trying to start an online match since I've yet to see one after about an hour.

Two matches on PC so far. No lag, Me with Mika against a Vega then a Rashid. Framerate was slow on my PC at 1080P, dropped it 720p, smooth as butter.

I am using a Wii U Pro controller with MayFlash set to Xinput. Works like a charm

I feel like you're overthinking what I said by a mile.

All I meant is what since I'm playing a new game and with a new character everything is different so I'm not getting the systems down like I would if I was playing a character I'm already familiar with. That's all.

What about online?
Click to expand...

No, just ranked.

Anyone know relatively how safe Vega's rolling crystal flash is? Some guy kept doing c.mp -> rolling crystal flash on me over and over in the corner and I couldn't find any way before the next c.mp came. Jumping didn't help. And Necalli's buttons were too stubby to reach him (as far as I could tell).

I resorted to V-reversal which isn't something you can rely on.

Question: The stage you pick for training mode doesn't restrict you to just that stage for online VS? My only two matches has been on Waterfall.

Makes wonder if its only matching me with other people who are training on the waterfall.

i believe it favors whatever is marked as both players' "favorite stage" which is waterfall by default

This is annoying. For the past hour constantly getting disconnected cannot even stay in training more than a few mins and not a single match.

Any PC players getting matches consistently with little to no disconnections?
Click to expand...

I got about twelve matches or so in the hour I played. Waited about five-ten minutes after each match before getting matched up again.

Only had one connection that was noticeably laggy. 'Had a Ken that was jump-cutting all over the place.

I'm just curious: how are the experiences of PC players whose computers either barely meet the minimum requirements or are even a little bit lower? Is it 60FPS on low graphics settings (if the beta has a variety of graphics settings, anyway) offline and online, and what does it look like?
I don't have the money for the pre-order right now and I need to know whether I'm going to be saving up for a PS4 or just some extra RAM.

EDIT: I found a post about the experience of somebody with a very similar setup to mine and it's not good. Some sort of upgrades are in order, then.

Pretty sad that Mika doesn't really have any feasibly good counter hit rewards.

Outside of her sobat linking into LK MP target combo, she doesn't really get much reward for punishing mashers.

Her f.HP crush counter is just bad, and her HK crush counter needs to be charged to get the same effect everyone else gets on their CC.

I guess it depends on scissors frame data right now. When Beta 1 was out, even on hit, c.MP could be beaten by a throw - the pressure it provided was really weak. The upside was that you could gamble with c.MP into Psycho Inferno (combos on counterhit, but not actually safe), go into c.LP (combos into nothing, sometimes whiffs entirely), or try to bait a poke and punish with another scissors.

A month ago, reports were that scissors were unsafe on block (wtf). Now, they are supposedly back to being safe. I have to admit that I'm pretty worried about him with all the changes they're making. I felt like Beta 1 Bison was perfect aside from a few necessary changes (having two down-up charge attack inputs locks out jumping too easily). I guess I'm just salty that I went from having a perfect main in this game to absolutely nothing. :-/

If you think about it, Rashid gets that same gamble, except he doesn't need to charge anything to get it. He can just throw the whirly attack out whenever he feels like it. It just seems like Rashid gets too much for too little in contrast to Bison, is all.

Bison gets more damage tho, chip and outright damage, especially comparing CAs.

Wish they had PC and PS4 indicators next to your name. Have no idea if the crossplay is actually working or not lol. I am getting games on PC pretty consistently though.
