The whole training mode probably slows down matchmaking a lot. They should of had a straight up queue in the main menu.

It makes sense for the beta. Players are forced into matchmaking while still having a way to train. There should absolutely be a barebones queue in the full game, though. If matchmaking is working right, I could probably get another match in the time it takes to load back into training mode.

 

[Einchy]

Anything else have a hard time telling when attacks hit or are blocked? I'm sure with time I will get used to the sounds and feedback but right now sometimes I'm not really sure if I got a hit or if it got blocked. Something about the sounds and effects seems really confusing.

 

[Armaly]

What's Karin's anti-airs besides cr.HP?

ex dp is her best AA, doesn't lose to anything.

Meterless: cr.hp, s.hp, qcf+K~P, cmd dash under x-ups

s. HP is pretty good and there is also EX Ressen Ha.

I want to thank you guys. I alt tabbed and wanted to learn Karin since I have no clue how to use her. Read this and mid read got matched and I won a Karin mirrror match.

So how do I do the should move and her AA? I was doing crouching hp.

It's easier to go by color for me. Orange = hit, blue = block.

I'm still trying to get a hang of Karin, but so far Necalli seems to be my go-to character for now. Enjoying his frame traps, especially in v-trigger. Also helps that his charge attack easily deals with people who carelessly toss projectiles around. I just wish he had slightly longer hitbox on at least one of his jabs/short kicks. Not really a fan of his command grab either.

 

[Swarna]

Fight request in USF4 is a lot faster both with finding opponents and loading into training stage, etc. Loading times still being slow on PC makes me think the game is doing other connection related stuff during that time instead of just loading training stage. This is on the fastest SSD on the market, too...

Still, though, the matches themselves are a lot better. At least the bad connections in this game don't freeze and stutter the actual match like they do in SF4. I'll take teleporting enemies over that shit any day.

Also Ken has beastly anti-airs. MP DP done late and st. MK when done early just shut everything down. LP DP and cr. HP for vertical targets, too.

 

[cackhyena]

Wow, didn't expect Mika to be one of my favorites after trying everyone out so far.

I love her st.HP for AA. Simple for someone with slow reactions like me once you get the timing down of when to press it.

Yeah, his jab command throw has a tiny bit more range than the rest. I'm not sure what his EX version brings to the table startup wise.

Hmm, I didn't get a match in a half hour, I reset the system and get one almost instantly. Odd.

Edit- and I lose because I forgot the beta doesn't save button configure. I got a match so fast I didn't have time to notice. Great.

 

[Tizoc]

So I FINALLY got my ps3 beta key, had the game dl while I was asleep and wanted to put a few minutes into training mode before going to work.
I run the game and it does an in-game update
...yay.

Welp 9ish hours before I can get to play it =_=

 

[Numb]

People seeing the light of Mika.Good!
Vega without the mask looks weird during wins. Especially around his eyes and mouth/lips.

 

[vocab]

Online is really bad right now holy shit.

 

[Armaly]

Give me some quick Karin tech pls. I keep getting matched when trying to practice.

 

[Edzi]

Karin's normals seem to beat Mika hard.

 

[Karsticles]

A few Vega notes:
EX Crimson Terror is projectile immune.
EX Aurora Spin Edge has startup immunity; works as a really late anti-air.

 

[Renekton]

Online is really bad right now holy shit.

What's your region?

SEA is decent so far.

 

[GuardianE]

Finally. 2000 fight money. I can unlock Kanzuki.

 

[Dremark]

Karin seems really fun for me. Most likely going to be my main when the game comes out.

I was going to main her regardless but I'm really happy with how she turned out. I'll miss her counter and her command throw to a lesser extent (They are still there in spirit at least) but her kit seems really solid and she's fun to play.

I'm completely terrible with her though, but I can't wait to get home and put the time in.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Infiltration not a karin fan.

cr.mk is your best friend. Shit links into almost everything lol.

 

[Renekton]

Rashid seems like his jam.

 

[Mesoian]

I, legit, don't know what to do against corner pressure in this game. A character with good normals like Karin or Necali seem like they will be penultimate every single time.

V-Reversal? ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Armaly]

What's the name of the shoulder move Karin does?

 

[Zapages]

Honestly, I have to say that Rashid is a blast to play... So much fun with him compared to ken or vega.... He's not as crazy as El Fuerte but still a lot of fun.

 

[Ferrio]

This is me playing R.Mika:

Sobat sobat sobat c.mk sobat cr.mk sobat giant swing sobat sobat sobat

 

[Mesoian]

V-Reversal? ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Which gives them silver damage and then they start again and the problem is the same.

I honestly don't know man. I'm at a loss.

 

[cackhyena]

Ken is a blast for me. Rashid seems like he could be my jam, but I need more time with him. Mika is the standout. I was not expecting that.

 

[Stallion Dan]

It doesn't in USFIV. Best way to find a match to be honest.

 

[Ferrio]

The load in and out of training mode adds up. That's time that could be used matchmaking and getting more games in.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Which gives them silver damage and then they start again and the problem is the same. "

It pushes them off and resets the situation. If they're getting back on top of you immediately after, something else is the problem.

I don't even train with characters other than Vega at this point. Dude is too beast mode and I love his personality. His combos just look cooler than other characters' as well.

 

[Einchy]

Ugh, probably not going to play the beta much anymore. This lag is making the game feel really shitty.

guy is blocking > walk up to him > throw > does nothing > I get thrown

GG Capcom

[edit]

Not sure if this is an issue with the hitboxes or the lag but a ton of my attacks keep passing through the other player without doing shit.

 

[tribal24]

Does anyone know what follow up attack i can do after V-trigger knockdown with Rashid?

Share that training mode knowledge with me, GB!

I haven't seen a single Vega online.


Ok! Got Karin's AA and shoulder down.

 

[joekusa]

OMG Love so much Karin!! Now I have to find a good way to play with her. (and need little more fight monay for Kanzuki Estate...)

For the move list, I have this : http://lukafaxx.github.io/sflist/sf5/karin/

 

[Tan]

Wow you can link cr mp off of necallis med bootstomp. Really having fun with him

 

[Anbec7]

How do you change your favorite character in the profile card? It keeps appearing Ken over there

 

[Sheroking]

Everybody sucks at this game except me!

Okay, maybe not. Just haven't lost in like 12 games today.

 

[Rean]

Really enjoying Karin right now. I thought she was gonna take a while to get used to, but I caught on fairly quickly.

How do you change your favorite character in the profile card? It keeps appearing Ken over there

You have to go to the fight settings in the main menu and you can change it. I think all it does is put the cursor on whoever your favorite is when you're in character select.

 

[Dremark]

Everyone I play is either complete garbage or wipes the floor with me. Throughout both betas I've had very few matches that weren't a total stomp one way or the other.

 

[Lulubop]

Infiltration lol

 

[HardRojo]

My home Internet died for some reason I was at 1420 FM... so close to Kanzuki State.

 

[Sheroking]

Ack.

Ken player finally got me.

Well, people are learning at different rates so I guess it makes some sense.

 

[Phatmac]

Anyone not getting matches?

 

[Mesoian]

Servers seem to be crapping out. I got kicked, it let me back in without going to the main menu, got in a match, and now it's frozen on the win screen.

That might be it for tonight.

 

[Avellon]

Came to Infilitration's stream for the Ken combo's, stayed for the recorder instrumental of "My heart will go on"

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

Thanks, had this going. How do you enable in game however. Seems on windows 10 once your not in the software the game does not recognized the inputs configure...

Thanks!

Solution was to use xpadder. Works like a charm!

 

[abstract alien]

Any tips for using Vega's Aurora Spin? EX version is self explanatory, but the normal version isn't getting much use from me. Seems like it should be a good countering tool, but I don't know. The move comes out and I just end up getting hit most of the time.
