I think I give up for now. Still buying the game day one though. I hope they have ranked set-ups where I can play against other terrible players so I can possibly get a win.

It's ok, I'm terrible as well and kept losing even though I felt like I shouldn't be.

Anyone else keep getting disconnected from people?
I have had this problem a lot in last 30 minutes or so. I had 5 matches and 4 of them disconnected.

if i were to preorder on steam to play the beta right now, can someone confirm that i can get a refund if i cant run the game at 60fps?
yes it has happened to me a few times
Sure, as long as you play it under 2 hours you should be eligible for a refund.

SFV Server ‏@SFVServer 2m2 minutes ago
The server maintenance previously scheduled for 4:00am - 2:00pm PST will be cancelled to make up for all the troubles we've caused y'all.
Thank you Capcom for helping me put off my essay until Sunday night. You're the greatest.

Ok, so as a guy that hasn't played a 2D fighting game since the 2nd iteration of Blazblue it appears the game just doesn't want to give me any time to figure out what the fuck I'm doing. It took 3 matches of me getting beat up on to have enough time in training mode to even perform all of Blanka-lite's moves. Switched to R. Mika and while I like her personality, as soon as I start trying to figure her out in training mode I'm back in another battle, getting my ass kicked. I haven't won a single set because surprise surprise, I'm terrible at the game. I'm not willing to try to improve in training mode 1 minute at a time until I have to suffer yet another assbeating cause I have no idea how to use my character.
PC performance on my Geforce GTX 670 2gb looks pretty good. The game defaulted to medium settings on everything (1080p), and who am I to argue when I don't have an easy way to test without going through longass loading screens.
Can we talk about the loading screens? I must be spoiled by Smash because goddamn they are long. I hope Capcom at least makes them quicker on PC vs PC, or while playing single player (they won't), cause there's no way it takes this long for my PC to load the stage.
Rant over, will have to watch some tutorials on youtube or something cause I'm not going back without a good idea of what I'm doing, fuck the 1 minute training mode.

While I'm not going to comment on the masterpiece, I will say he's wrong about SF4 being easy to learn.
The disconnects of players might be of their client crashing. At seemingly random times players who are using windows 10 crash to desktop. It's happening to me and it's super annoying. It's so much fun but got damn the crashes.
This happens with every new fighting game. People (even top players) always think they have things figured out really fast really easy. Also, SFIV is absolutely not easy to learn. Quite the contrary. I like SFIV, but god damn was it super painful to learn it after not having played fighters seriously for over a decade.

Elpheltration.
man you know it's a beta right? who gives a schnitzel how long it takes to load, these things will level themselves out.
i'm bummed I can't play at the moment, too laggy to even hold a proper match. i had been practicing with Mika all day and finally got into a good position with her, then bam lag spikes :L she is so fun!
While I respect Infiltration's initial impressions more than most, it's too early to tell. We don't know shit about how the metagame will play out, and Infiltration even said that he hopes he's wrong.
People always jump to conclusions. Every iteration. Alpha, III, CvS, Marvel, IV. It'll happen again with V, like clockwork. And time and again the initial impressions are always laughably incorrect.

Dude knows how to play nearly every SF4 character at a tournament level. Of course the game is easy for him to master of all people.
The game's also not out yet and the full roster hasn't been revealed.
I have no idea what you said.
It seems like some people are having this problem, and I am too. On the main menu, everything seems to work fine, but as soon as I go to pick a character everything loads veeery slow, and in game it's like playing under water. It has actually become a little better some times when playing matches online, but not much.
I have updated drivers, I have reinstalled game, I have both tried lowest settings (Even though I shouldn't need this) I have tried recommended settings and above. There is NO difference. So at high settings and at lowest settings, the game is completely the same to me. Under water with slowdowns.
Specs:
Asus ROG
GTX 980M
16GB Ram
i7-4710HQ
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try to make it work?

How? I asked yesterday, and someone said you could only get the wall bounce if they hit the end of the stage
Doesn't he have a tendency to joke around ... a lot?
Same here. No gpu utilization lol
If you're midscreen backdash to cause the screen to scroll toward them. Then once they hit the wall dash forward and qcf+k
The loading times wouldn't be as annoying if I wasn't looking at them constantly because of switching back and forth from training to fighting. I was looking forward to playing the beta over the weekend but the situation is just no good for me, I need a controlled environment to land on my feet here. I'm watching some youtube videos on SF fundamentals in the meantime and will attempt to play some more tomorrow, but it looks like I'll be waiting for release to put actual time into the game. Which is too bad, cause I dropped money on pre-ordering this for the beta. Oh well.
What a thoughtless post. It is indeed a beta. I can't say I've played many fighting game betas, but not having access to a training mode sans interruptions kinda sucks. Wish I was having the connection issues everyone was complaining about days ago, then I'd have enough time to figure things out. I hope you were there telling those people who couldn't find a match that it was a beta too, just so we know all complaints will be equally dismissed.
Yea I kinda had a problem with this. I'm ranked in like the top 200 and getting matched up vs people who were unranked or massively low rank all the time. Not really fun for either side. I just chalked it up to being a beta and hoping for release it will match people up better.
One frame links were there day one.

This is very useful information, thank ye kind sir!
I agree with loading times beeing a tad long curently. Then again, the game is still months out and optimization is in progress.
The beta is built around and for network testing, they have said that from the very beginning. It's aim wasn't to give people convenient methods to get good at the game. It was your choice to participate in a beta that was built around testing network infrastructure.
How did I never think to try that
So you have a good computer too, and the game runs at a crawl?
Edit: I will upload a video of how it looks for me.. and post my earlier post with it again.
Yes, and no one really utilized them much in the beginning. Very rarely were they essential to playing a character well. Later characters were build vastly different as they required you to learn the hard stuff to play at a competent level(only talking execution here).
The initial roster was much easier to get good at than the later added characters.

I like Vega vs cpu Rashid at level 8. Flying festival. I need to play Mika and Karin more. I like Karin a lot though I need to get that dash with kick into punch move down.
Wait what!? You're sayi-what!? Why didn't I try th-what!?
Yeah yeah I know, I just wanted to vent, and was too salty from not having time to figure my shit out to respond in good humor. Wish they would have let me pause the match-making even for just 5 minutes. Maybe as the PC beta goes on there'll be a trick found to make that happen... but maybe that's wishful thinking.
On a side note, I had forgotten how big and heavy my arcade stick is.
