Yeah the trials are cool. Like SFIV except the combo system doesn't suck and the combos are a bit more insightful. They've actually taught me a thing or two for certain characters.

So far I've done Ryu, Nash, Mika, Zangief, Dhalsim, Ken and Birdie's trials. On the last one for Bison, I suck with Scissor kicks into super.

 

[Zackat]

How much time do you guys spend watching replays and in training mode vs. actually playing against other people? I feel like I am at the point now where just playing people over and over again is getting me nowhere. I get up to ultra bronze/silver and drop back to super bronze over and over again.

 

[Shmuppers]

where are ya'll seeing this

More stuff here for those that missed the stream

 

[Skilletor]

Lost 4 matches, won 4 matches, but all four were rage quits, so I'm down a rank.

Fuck this.

 

[gutter_trash]

Trials pretty much confirmed my character preference play style and helped me discover which new character the fits better with it.

 

[Askherserenity]

Not really.

Try the shortcut, tho, diagonal down forward x 2 + punch.

Yeah, just started doing this and it's working for me.

and who is that?

 

[Gunslinger]

Just did ryu's trial took me like 10 min....Nowhere near as hard as sfiv trials. But! with that being said the combos i did in Ryu's trial almost all of them can be used in actual fights. Unlike SFIV.

Wait they haven't fixed the rage quit issue (aka take points away for RQ)? Wtf Capcom...

Nope......

It's too late guys.

Ragequitting is a feature of SFV, they can't take it away now.

/s

 

[Edgeward]

Welp, Karin's trials pretty much told me I would not want to play her.

 

[RedAssedApe]

ale'x alt looks like he has pigtails lmao

 

[Sixfortyfive]

R. Kazooie?

Sure, why not.

 

[robo_qwop]

Exactly. It's annoying how the timing for perfect tenko changes when done raw vs in a combo.

 

[Zekes!]

Regarding Ryu's 9th trial, I can't seem to do the cr.MP to HP shoryuken part of the combo on the Dualshock 4. It always comes out as his Critical Art. I spent 5 minutes just practicing that single part but it seems his CA comes out real easy.

Go into regular training, turn on show inputs. Do the combo, look where you mess up at.

I had a similar problem when I tried to input "clean" motions. I took the shortcut and did cr.MP > df,df+HP and that came out more often.

Anyways, I can do all of Ryu's trial 10, just not at the same time. I can't seem to space / time the b.HK well enough after V-trigger. The animation throws me off.

So I went to ranked. About 100 lp outside of super bronze, and I'm not slowing down If I ever get ranked with someone higher, I take their points and run if I win lol.

Use the dp shortcut down forward, down, down forward

So it should look like this down forward + mp, down, down forward + hp

 

[Durden77]

Welp, Karin's trails pretty much told me I would not want to play her.

Same here. But they did make me realize I think I like Cammy.

 

[Sinatar]

9 losses in a row and 700 points gone. I am truly the king of street fighter.

Someone mentioned this earlier either in this thread or another but trial 10 is simpler than it looks. After the crush counter of the first HK, walk foward a step, then do the rest of the combo, you'll be in range for the b.HK to hit and allow you to continue the rest of the combo.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Yeah, that one shows you how much time you have to "prep" between crush counters and the rest of the combo. I was trying to buffer df in between hits, and then walk forward a bit after V-trigger, but never after the initial crush counter lol.

 

[Jarekx]

Rematch is great. Doubly so since the servers still seem to be slow.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Wow, Capcom went and made since really great costumes this time around. I'm loving Necalli's costume, and will have to put down the Zenny when the shop opens for real .. it's too bad we have no idea when that is

And thanks, Garrett, for the screenshots.

 

[Edzi]

I can't figure out why they made Alex barefoot in both of his alts. I'd actually like them if not for that.

 

[LakeEarth]

Thank god Trials has a demonstration mode. I would've never figured out Rashid's number 8 combo. Hint, the v-trigger gets activated first, but should be the third thing that hits.

 

[Ame]

I can't finish Ryu's 10th trial. The axe kick always gets blocked after going into denjin. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Incendiary]

R. Kazooie?

Sure, why not.

I'd really like Mika's alt if it weren't for the huge feathers coming out of her headgear. Otherwise it looks great.

 

[Renekton]

Nope.

I'm hoping it will come with April update.

cool that helps. Just gotta work on executing it consistently. That's pretty much my biggest take away from the trials, gotta get better at my inputs

 

[Village]

R. Kazooie?

Sure, why not.

This outfit is so dumb, it wrapped background to being good, so congrats capcom both of R mika's outfits are way better than her main one, and actually make me want o play this character.

I like biker ken.

 

[kitzkozan]

Rematch is great. Doubly so since the servers still seem to be slow.

I'm surprised all of my opponents accepted the rematch option. o_o Although it might be because I was ranked as a rookie, even if I'm not in term of SF experience. Leveled up to bronze, so we will see how it goes.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

That's a big improvement over IV .. I mean, didn't El Fuerte have one that was just listed as "HP, HP, HP" that was based on run-stop cancels?

 

[Lulubop]

any actual movelist for alex? I'm seeing gameplay but nobody has confirmed whether he's still got charge moves.

Here it is

[SaikyoBro]

Finished all the trials, pretty good. Having 10 instead of 24 made them feel more fresh and distinct, definitely coming away from them with more knowledge about the cast.

The demonstrations on the other hand are making me sad. I spent a lot of time being awful at Street Fighter because I didn't understand the fundamentals, I didn't realize that it was a game of normal buttons before special attacks. I'd spam fireballs from a distance, use tatsus to get across the screen, and vigorously mash DP up close. I spent a lot of time sucking at this game that could've been corrected with such simple advice, and I thought in-game character specific tutorials sounded like a brilliant solution to keep newcomers from suffering the same fate as I did when I first started.

But they barely scratch the surface! I thought I'd be getting "try to play in this range, this move is your best poke, this move is unsafe" but instead I'm seeing "heavy fireball goes the fastest, heavy uppercut does the most damage". I want these tutorials to start drilling "use your buttons not your specials" into newcomers' heads as quickly as possible but I have a feeling that all these demonstrations are going to do is encourage bad habits. They would have been much better off just putting those character guides they're uploading to YouTube on the disc.

I've heard the game mechanic demonstrations are actually pretty strong but I haven't checked any of them out yet since this new patch seems to have introduced three minute load times. Maybe tomorrow.

45 minutes of searching, 7 disconnects and 1 laggy game played.


This game FUCKING SUCKS.

It could be so great but noooooo

so fucking pissed off, how the fuck do people deal with this shit to play matches all day.

R. Kazooie?

[Neoxon]

Have some more Alex footage. And here are his costumes & colors while you're here.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

I'd really like Mika's alt if it weren't for the huge feathers coming out of her headgear. Otherwise it looks great.

But the feathers is probably the best part any this costume. It is so incredibly over the top that it fits her perfectly.

I'm surprised all of my opponents accepted the rematch option. o_o Although it might be because I was ranked as a rookie, even if I'm not in term of SF experience. Leveled up to bronze, so we will see how it goes.

I'll be rematching as often as possible, as long as the connection is good. Saves you from having to wait quite as long between matches.

 

[JayEH]

Alex's voice sounds fine from the few clips I can hear need to hear story mode dialogue to fully judge.

 

[Shouta]

Finished like 9 or 10 of the trials. The usual stuff there but some of the practical things you see folks figured out before this made it in. A few took longer than they should have because I kept going even though my hands were getting a bit fatigued.

I definitely can't wait for Alex later in the week.

It's like a bad relationship. Slog through so much shit to enjoy the brief, fleeting moments of joy. Every one has enough as some point though.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I like how capcom still insists on every trial starting with 'jump in with the most awkward normal'.

 

[Romars202129]

I've never had an easier time completing a fighting game character trial. First time ever being able to complete a full sf character trial, as well.
Not sure if it was all the self practice beforehand, or the combos in it were too basic. All I know, happy to learn necalli has an air combo. Had no clue.

 

[ShadowKhaN]

another futile 7 hours of maintenance is needed. The game does not even work.

its been shit since day 1 and its at an all time low right now. Good job capcom, working hard to make the game even worse. so competent


About to throw my stick through the god damn window.

 

[Closer Two]

I hope these load times are fixable.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

holy fuck guys I did it I got Alex working

 

[LincolnTunnel]

Anybody have any advice for Birdie's Trial 2? I finished all his others, but I'm having trouble comboing into Bull Head. At what point should I be releasing whatever button I'm holding?

 

[ShadowKhaN]

I like how capcom still insists on every trial starting with 'jump in with the most awkward normal'.

Can really feel the input lag with some of the jump in roundhouses. game is assssssss
