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

Just sold my PS4. I specifically bought it to play this demo and it doesn't even work? Fuck that. Cancelled my preorder too, I'll just wait for the PC release or whatever. I broke up with my girlfriend earlier this week so I wouldn't have anything to distract me from the lab, and I can't even get into training mode. Ffs Crapcom.

LMAO! nice
 
I think you massively missed the point on what a "beta test" actually is.

Test out the connection while you play online? My nigga the shit don't even launch, how tf did I miss the point?

Y'all really tryna be like ummm yes u are supposed to be watching a black screen for sf5...
 
Taking a vacation for a beta?

Good call.
 
To be fair a standard beta test usually entails more than the title menu. Can't fault people for being at least a bit disappointed eh?

Disappointed? Yes. Angry? No.

I expected it to be a shit show because that's how these things always go. It just takes them longer to fix it.

That is awesome LMAO.
 
I had plans to play the beta, but I can also deal with not having it up and running at the moment. I'm a little upset because those were still my plans. I wouldn't do anything drastic. I tried playing another game and I keep reminding myself what my plans were.

Not much is going to change that and I'm not really mad, just discouraged.

Alternatively you could've just waited for them to iron out the kinks in the beta, and I'm sure Capcom would've extended the beta by the amount of time lost. This seems a little much.
 
Done worrying about that. Playing it confirmed how easy things will be for me, but I didn't think an input buffer would allow people to not learn timing at all.

So what, they still have to learn how to react to counter, courch, airborne etc...

This kind of input buffer has been in any anime fighter and it never prevented high level plays.
 
Well not really, but this is such a huge disappointment that it might as well be true. Is the biggest offense from a major third party since Mega Man wasn't in MvC3?
Welp. Since you said third party, I can't mention a certain winged creature not being in a certain unorthodox fighting game.

But no, not really.

hahahahaha
 
I expected it to be a disaster last night, but at this point I'm definitely bummed that after 20 hours it seems they've basically given up on fixing it in the short term ("reschedule" is a pretty heavy term and we're already at the weekend). I was hyped last night but what I really wanted was a chill afternoon session
 
Got to play training for literally 5 minutes before I had to leave for work this morning, of course it would finally work for me right before I had to get off. Can't connect once again. What's the status so far? Also, did training have any real options? I didn't have a lot of time to fool around but all I couldn't see any options to make the AI attack.

I went in expecting a clusterfuck but this has exceeded even my expectations, lol.

Workday in Japan still hasn't started. It's only 6am. So probably nobody is actively working on it right now.
 
Doesn't PS4 support system-wide button mapping? Not near mine at the moment but could you reassign say the rightmost buttons on your stick to touchpad left and right?

i don't think you can re-assign the touchpad? tbh it could be a non-issue assuming the devs keep in mind the limitation and provide work-arounds in game.

Oh shit. I just realized that. I got the standard TE2 but I don't think it has one either. What is it used for in SFV? I know in IV you can use it to assign buttons at character select.

i'd tell you if i could play. lol
 
At the end of the day I'm just disappointed, not like ima let myself get mad over this shit. Ain't nobody got time for that. Time to just go out and get wavy.

To some people, if a fighting game doesn't have a ridiculous and pointlessly high execution barrier, it is "too easy", even though there are a number of other things to learn about and improve in a game of the genre. I don't get this mentality, but to each their own I guess. I welcome an "easier" SF with open arms.

I'm laughing because I'm assuming it's a joke. If it's not, that makes it even funnier.
For the game to start.
When the beta was online-only? I sure as hell didn't. Especially not on the ever wishy-washy PSN. There was always a very good chance that the game itself would die or the PSN would.
 
Can anyone explain to me why people had to pre order to get in the beta please?

I just signed up on the website and got a code?

I refuse to believe this post is real, you got to be joking man.

There's not really such a thing as a STANDARD beta test. A beta test is whatever the beta test is. Some work better than others. I've seen just as many that were as bad as this or worse. We'll all get our shot. It's not like the countdown on our 5 days is ticking...
 
That's the entire point of why they're marketing the pre-order. Anyway, lesson learned. Fuck paid betas.

You paid for this?

I pre-ordered at Amazon. No money down. For a game I know I'll be buying anyway.

We're all going to get to play this beta. Yes, it sucks having to wait longer. But that's all that this is- a delay.

That's exactly how I feel, you want the barrier to entry and enjoyable play to be as low as possible and the depth for higher level players to come from elsewhere. If you don't do that it alienates newer players, and in a niche genre (although a pretty healthy one!) getting new people to join and stay really matters in the long term.

Either this is a joke or oh boy...

You guys are going to be calling it an easier street fighter until you keep getting worked. Its always gonna be levels in street fighter unless you practice youre just gonna be as good/bad as you were before.
