As a certified garbage king Ken player, which shoryuken should I use? I'd like to practice one and put it into muscle memory for antiair and reversal purposes, but learning all four (lp, mp, hp, EX) and mixing them up depending on the situation is still waaaaay out of my reach. I can barely do a shoryuken on command, let alone on reaction, so let's start simple.
Everyone's playing the game like USF4, which means they're, by default, going too slow.
I feel like it's going to be real tough to people to go backwards to SF4 from 5.

Sort of. That happens to me and then the game will stay at the horrible framerate until I either change the graphic settings or exit the game. I've noticed it's more likely to happen the longer my session is.

I feel like rashid is the real noob central. Really easy to play as and will likely be nerfed in more than one way come release.
I *think* it's Medium and EX like SF4 for wake ups, but I'm not sure about that.

I still really like Karin.
A lot of the people I'm playing though don't like her at all. They keep beating the shit out of her.
It makes her forget all the shit she was committing to muscle memory in training and panic.
Also, there's something about knowing I can't chip out with really low life that immediately causes me to go "close out. close it out. Jesus can you imagine if you give them an opening with so little life and they put together a run can you imagine wait no you don't have to imagine because YOU'RE NOT CLOSING OUT AND THEY'RE FUCKING DOING IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW YOU ASSHOLE YOU KNOW THEY'RE JUMPING IN why don't you do that anti-air that links to NO WHY DON'T YOU JUST EAT THIS FUCKING FOOT, IDIOT."

Anyone else still finding it takes forever to get into matches? I've had next to no matches in the beta since it takes 10+ minutes to match me up usually. My NAT is open etc. and it doesn't seem to be a problem for any other game I play online, but this one is so inconsistent. It was actually better in the first beta for me 
MP and EX have i-frames. MP is generally best for anti air purposes. HP/EX for damage.

He seems like the best to me and I haven't lost a match with him yet this beta but I'm both unreasonably biased and playing against people who clearly don't play fighting games so I couldn't say for sure.
That and I haven't had a TON of time with the beta compared to some people.

Eh, his damage output is real real bad. He's got nice tricks, but it's tough.
Bobby, Karin just can't handle the stress!
And suck it Marvel

Every Rashid I have faced goes for random unsafe kicks constantly. I just turtle and punish.

Same here! Hope we get some of the old ones. Miss my duds and guile!
So if I invite someone over to try it tonight I shouldn't have to worry about it being in maintenance? Sweet.
Only go into roll for punishes and if you hitconfirm cr.lk, cr.lp. Light roll is also a decent poke from far, the last hit goes over lows, and if blocked from a distance it's safe vs everything but Kens ex dp.
Claw Vega controls the game from mid range. Poke people to death and don't let them jump, claw c.hp only loses to a few jump normals. When you get close, poke out back into mid or frametrap into claw off then go ham.
With claw: clk, s.hp xx stance is a really good frametrap. If s.hp hits, combo with s.lk, cmp xx mk roll if its blocked Vega is 0, and in range for lk/mk/ex cmd throw or s.lk, cmp xx mk roll if they jump. If they mash, walk back then whiff punish or use s.lp. Claw off s.lp is 1f faster, hits crouching, and has huge range. Can even do some SFxT jab pressure with it.

Noted, thanks people. Sounds like mp (or EX, but I'm not even looking at my meter bars yet) is the way to go.

What have you been using as her anti-air? For deep jump-ins s.mp has been really good, but when they're right on top of me I've been trying cr.mp and it's just not working at all.
Karin was in Alpha 3.
Ginger Hail

She's from Alpha 3, not SF3. Still, good to hear someone's clicking at least.
For some reason I thought things were perpetually stuck in training mode for everyone, but I guess people are still finding matches? I haven't found one in at least 30 minutes, though.
So much this. I have been playing USFIV for years and been playing recently also. All these Ken's ranked at level 11, play JUST like this is SFIV.
Wack, I care less that you're ranked at 11 or whatever. Shots fired.

I've had the most matches today than I had in all the other times I've hopped on the beta

Yeah, I was getting matches within 1-2 minutes on the regular for about an hour straight before I had to shut it off for work shit.
I am so bad at this game but improving! Today I was winning couple matches and both ended in disconnect.
Although I did notice, I didn't get my fight money after battle. In full game that would suck. I hope they have some system to still give them to player, that was winning or something. Because if I loose my DLC character bucks, because someone can't look losses on his stat page...
All in all this is super cool game. I think movement and all feels a lot better than in SF4. I am really looking forward to upcoming betas and full release!

I was SO bummed out during my first Mika match. Couldn't believe they had gone with english VA for her. I expected to see the toggle in the final game, but seeing it the language options in the beta was a cool suprise.
Oh wow, shows what I know. I played Alpha 3 on GBA but it was such a long time ago that I don't even remember who or who wasn't in that game.
So weird. I was having match after match 2 days ago, but now I literally haven't had a single one in 35-40 minutes straight in training mode. I wonder if they've done something with region/rank filtering.

I'm getting matches consistently every 15 seconds of training right now.
WON MY FIRST MATCH. 1-16 NOW. WINSTREAK STARTS HERE.
I need to be updated lol

It's a really bad habit when I can't do tick throws in SFV or combo off a jab.

Is the roll safer on block while the claw is off?
Is s.HP x Stance Swap heavily positive on block, then?
I feel like the roll loses to a lot of random stuff, and is prone to crush counters. As a punish, I would rather use f.HP or c.HK.
Which claw pokes, if any, are positive on block?
Figuring out the frame data of a character is so important for my way of learning.
Rashid I am unsure of, turteling Kens however are a real problem for my R Mika so far though.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I mained Vega in Early SF4, ST & CVS2. I feel like I know when the chatacter is strong & when he is weak. This Vega feels weaker than Vanilla 4 Vega, who as you know was one of the worst characters in that game.

IMO, I think Mika's worst matchup in the beta is Vega.
Vega with the claw on just keeps her out of where she wants to be.

been slaying with Karin but damn that bitch needs work. But then again I'm not confident enough in this busted ass controller to start using qcf+k for my bnb. Rather just rushdown hopscotch all day.
But still, despite the wins, her moveset still has so many glaring weaknesses.
