He isn't closing the right eye haha.

Ken has a foot fetish and he's just winking at the camera.

People were talking mess about Mika's cr.hp earlier, but I feel like it's actually weirdly useful. It's -5 on block, so implementing it in block strings is risky, but I feel that because the attack is pretty unorthodox, it catches opponents doing certain things that other attacks wouldn't.
 
get ready to say that about most matchups in this beta.
.

I think Bison is the worst followed by R.Mika. Their normals are great and beat out most of his imo. The others I have an okay time with and I do well against Rashid and Karin. Only wished Necalli's normals were just a bit better and I'd be fine with him.

I'm getting wrecked by Necalli left and right. Nothing I seem to throw out beats any of his stuff.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
This is SO FUCKING BAD when it's laggy. 100% unplayable trash.

And I never want to see the waterfall stage again.
 
I have no idea what I'm doing with Nash. His pokes are pretty solid (though I'm lost against characters that play that range better), and frame traps into sonic boom or qcf kick seem to work pretty well, but I have no clue how to use any of his gimmicks. The teleport and the V-skill are a bit out of my reach atm.

On the brightside after playing Mika his cr.hp is the greatest anti-air ever.
 
I really like Chun. A few nerfs and a few buffs, but mostly the same overall. Solid.

One change that I love...they made it so that stomp only comes out when you PRESS down, not when you hold it. This was always messing with me in the previous build, when I tried to charge down in midair and hit jumping MK...instead of jump MK, I used to always get stomp.

Now I actually get jump MK, like I wanted.

Also, her instant air legs are still in the game. I know she was rumoured to have lost them...NOPE. They're still here, thankfully!
 
finished two rounds in less than 45 seconds

opponent ragequit lol

that's not typical though, typically i'm getting my skull smashed into the pavement ._.
 
After i switched my favorite stage in the settings to china i started getting a lot more matches there.

I think this beta factors in each persons favorite stage and randomly selects one. You see waterfall a lot because the beta defaults that as your favorite

Edit: it chooses the stage to your favorite if you're player one
 
Man, I haven't got into a single match in the last hour. Anybody else in Europe having similar issues?

On the plus side I've figured out some bullshit set-ups for Rashid's v-trigger 50/50.

No.

I am often player 1 and my stage sure isn't the waterfall. I went back to check 3 times.

Picking a different favorite stage helps but it isn't guaranteed. I'm assuming they just randomly choose what favorite stage to play from the two player's options.

Is Ken a bad matchup for R Mika? I don't think I'm especially good with her, but I felt like I couldn't do anything to get in if they knew what they were doing.

Kind of unexpected, but the hardest matchup for me when using Necalli is Ken. I've fought a couple now who could just stay on me and hit whatever normals they wanted and get counter hit after counter hit.

Karin can get a air juggle from a lp. Pretty awesome. The timing is pretty tough though. Gotta be really fast with Tenko. You have to plink it pretty much lol
 
Good Games to all my GAf people, I think i played a few here...

I'm done for the night, too hard to stay winning after a few beers lol...see ya guys tomorrow, before/after football.

That's on you rather than the Ken players. Stop hitting buttons when they're at advantage.

How long is this beta going on for? Also a clarification about the Arcade sticks on PS4. Can I use a PS3 TE Arcade stick or I need to get a TE2?

This is what kills me right now. I've had some trouble getting use to the flow of a match vs Ken, Necalli and Karin. Need more match time so I can learn.

Hate blocking with my face.
