Street Fighter V Beta Thread: Welcome, future '16ers! (Currently Inactive!)

It's also a beta that's only up for 5 days. I mean the purpose of a beta is to get as much data as possible to help improve your game. I don't mind glitches in a beta, but they should be presumably be happening in game and not the title screen.

5 days is pretty generous. Things like this have happened in tests with much smaller playtime windows and there's not much you can do about it. At least with SFV's, we have multiple tests and quite a few days to play.

Open your mind's eye and think outside the box! Grab your TV remote and hit those buttons, the microwave, garage door opener, even buttons on your keyboards and other consoles!

My ceiling fan, Christmas lights and electric can opener are all on full blast. I will find this 'any' button.
 
I'm having trouble understanding why we need to be connected to the server just to pass the title screen, and why it would make the title screen not respond to any buttons at all. Almost like SF V is going to be always online.
 
You don't understand how online play works then. The entire point of the demo is to test net code and content delivery. The title screen is probably setup to make that initial connection. It's not an offline demo.

I am aware. I would love to test the netcode, if I could get past the title screen.

I'm assuming that Capcom knows how to program their game so that it doesn't crash at the title screen because I can't connect to the server. I would think that a beta would be for things slightly more in depth than that. Perhaps I am assuming too much.
 
IN!

"Attention for health!"

"Please make sure to sit a comfortable distance away from the screen and in a well lit room while playing. Make sure to take breaks every now and then while playing."

Japan is so weird.
 
Damn system software update...fuck it, doing that now and gonna try again to see if there's any difference. Pleaaaase work so I can put in WERK.
 
Got past the black screen!

Button config is GOTLIEK.

It's the GOOD kind of button config (press button you want to switch to that button)

There's actually a "button check" interface on the button config screen. This game, man.

Button checks confirmed dead in 2016.

Well it's a beta test of their online functionality.

I'm pretty sure the SFV online modes are going to be always online.






Might be wrong though.

I'm guessing they wanted as few people to play it as possible.

Because the beta is always online.
 
Weird, when I got in, I had the choice to choose Birdie and Cammy. Since I got booted, I started watching Maximilian and he only has the choice of the first four characters.
