Fought a highly ranked Karin. It went well.

Had some great matches on PC today with Karin (have yet to touch the PS4 beta this window). Still getting used to her Guren Ken only being accessible under V-Trigger but I'm getting there.

It's a pity that fightsticks aren't working on PC at the moment though.

Only xinput sticks work natively(mine does).

Finally found some time to try it out. Runs fine on the lowly Alienware Alpha.

Only messed about in recording mode for an hour; apparently playtime during the beta counts towards one's Steam refund allotment, and I want to get this for cheaper.

Messed a bit with Rashid. His tornadoes & normals weren't quite what I was hoping for (have been on self-induced radio silence regarding how characters played). I'll still stick with it to see what I can make out of him.

Clawless Vega is actually pretty damn awesome. Comboing after Barcelona is pretty nasty stuff.

Also, is there a way to properly embed videos?

That combo isn't possible outside of training mode. The EX FBA takes one bar of meter you need for the super.

What you can do though is jump roundhouse, standing roundhouse, target combo into V-Trigger, then Super. Deals about 540 damage with mask on, almost 600 with mask off. Off a normal flying barcelona with claw off, low forward, low strong, V-Trigger, super. Unless they're crouching, then replace V-Trigger to medium kick crimson terror.

The latest version won't auto download. What do?

EDIT: all is well. I just got back from Japan and have little to no sleep.

Not liking the relative ease for meterless combos to take half your life. You spend too much time watching your character getting hit.

Pretty fun otherwise. Rashid and Necalli are great additions.

So am I the only one not getting any matches? Been waiting for like 15 min now

When I first started today, I had to wait for about 50 minutes straight. Then the match I got into was the hitchiest it had ever been for me. Right after that, I started getting matches frequently again. I figure something was busted with my ranking and that fixed it.

I think I'm done for the time being. What rank/LP did everyone manage to get to? I'm at around 1500 LP and around rank 3900. Can't remember exact numbers.

Highest rank was 2100 something, currently at 3900 cause I lost a bunch.
 
Man, this beta is a bummer. I don't like any of the characters. :/

Resorted to playing Ken because he has a fireball.

Combos are pretty short in this game. Odd complaint.

Range ranking on mika's throws in order:

EX giant swing - dmg 220
LP giant swing - dmg 160
EX Brimstone/MP giant swing - dmg 180/170
HP giant swing - dmg 180
LK brimstone - dmg 130
MK brimstone - dmg 140
HK brimstone - dmg 150
Regular throw - dmg 130

The Lesson: Her K command grab has *way* less range, especially the non ex versions.

I hate that I'm like rank 45,000 and the only people I ever match with are in the top 5,000. So frustrating, I'm learning but can't beat those people. I've only managed to win 2 matches in this beta

Yeah, i have 2063 LP and in 3-digit rank and I keep getting people with 19000 or 49000 LPs. Only fought a couple people ahead of me.

Probably because I'm so S-Rank. :D

Edit: Scratch that...I got a good matchup, got bodied by necalli and now I'm down to rank 1943 T_T

I. Fucking. Hate. This.

See an opponent throw or whiff something, sticks out leg to poke while opponent is in recovery animation, turns out nope, they already recovered way before that as they teleport to the floor and pushes your shit in.
 
So I bought the Kanzunuki stage, but after battles it shows I still have the fight money I spent on it. Not really important or useful, but did this happen to anyone else?

Yeah. The win screen shows the total amount of fight money you have, even the ones you spent for some reason. The main menu should show how much you actually have.

Yeah, they should make it so you have to earn the damage. Maybe making the execution a bit tighter?
