Yeah matchmaking frequency seems pretty low for me too, about 3 in the last 30 minutes. Seems like most people are finding matches pretty frequently though? =/

Mika is really good. She has the tools she needs to play her game at all the ranges she wants. I think my only beef right now is that her command grabs aren't going to get as much usage with their range unless you totally can force an opponent to sit still and let you get real close. I guess it's fair though because she hwas may more options to get damage than a standard grappler and she has really good footsies tools in MK and HK.

So, I received an email for the Beta, but when I login, it says:

Your permissions do not allow you access to this section.

Any suggestions?

I saw this in the thread earlier...someone mentioned phishing attempts.

To be safe I would change your details ASAP. Again I have no idea if these are fake but better safe than sorry.

That's it. I give up. Deleted the beta client, and on Amazon about to cancel my preorder, even though I'm getting it at a discount price since the raised the price after I ordered. But FUCK it. Can't win a single game no matter what character I play, how many combos I learn, how patient I am, how little risks I take. No point in getting this if no matter how long I practice I won't get a single win.

I am ass at street fighter.

It takes a long time to get decent. I lose more than I win, easy, and I've played SF for years (though much more intermittently in recent years). It also depends on comp--so maybe play offline against friends for a while until you get more and more comfortable, and then come back online with new confidence. If you stick it out, you will improve, no matter what it feels like now.

st.MK and st.HK certainly destroy button happy players that are slightly out of jab range. Worked wonders for me! Downright beats a lot of other buttons as well. Especially st.HK seems to push back Mikas hurtbox a lot. As far as her command throws go, I treat them kinda like Makotos Karakusa. Throw em out from time to time when no one expects it, otherwise mostly useless as her other tools are usually better.

Not just out side of jab range. st.mk can move forward so you can use it well outside of that, lol.

Can't figure out how to punish Rashid's Eagle Spike (flying kick), he lands far so I can't punish appropriately with Ken. EX DP perhaps?

A few impressions from the PC beta:

- So far the game feels more solid than SFIV did. I never went "goddammit I didn't mean to do that!" nearly as often as I do with Ultra and its' predecessors.

- Vega is SO much fun now that he isn't a charge character anymore.

- R.Mika is an absolute blast to play.

The range on EX Giant Swing is pretty goddamn hilarious. You can throw out thee cr.LPs in a row and then tick into the EX throw. It's a good way to get people mad. I've also been doing a lot of crossup j.LKs on people's wakeups into tick grabs and been having way too much success with that.

Charge s.HK is shockingly good, especially since you get beefy damage on hit (even meterless) and it looks to be evenish on block after testing it a bit in training mode.

I need an alt costume for her badly. I can't get over her clown getup; it's the worst part about her. Aside from that, I love everything about the character, extending to her personality.

"I'll totally make this look cool!"
"I'll kick your ass!"

Said with such conviction. It's just great.

yeah, everything about her sans-costume is perfect.

s.HK crush counter is perfect, throws are super satisfying, ex peach is the best.

even her rainbow EX effect is just dope, visually

Mika's throw range is questionable. It feels a bit longer than it should be.

It seems legit.
Other emails from Sony have the exact same layout and this thread on the Playstation Community forums seems to validate the same problems people have had in this thread.

Don't worry we'll get an office attire alt.

Having not played SF in much of any capacity for 5 years, I've forgotten how bad I am at it.

So many buttons. How do I footsie?

I never could click with anything other than shotos. Trying to grind it out with Mika.

When you get bodied it's not due to some ambiguous BS

don't really know how to handle hadoukens as mika. Used her v-skill to block two hadoukens but can't come closer without ken punching me.

Properly timed st.hk or jump forward then do down+Mp to do a body splash that drops you right to the ground. That'll let you avoid fireballs as you make your way in.

Charged s.HK will go over them, and if timed right can bop him for significant damage. You can also use c.HK to slide under them or c.MK to low profile them. If they're doing c.MK into fireball, you can just mash on c.MK and hit them clean as it's not a true blockstring and she will low profile it that early.
