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

Workday in Japan still hasn't started. It's only 6am. So probably nobody is actively working on it right now.

They'll be working overtime fixing the beta. It's one thing to make a mistake and quite another not to put in some extra effort to fix it when you have a hundred thousand customers waiting ;)

I wish I could've been at the technical meetings after launch, to see how artfully responsibility got dodged by everybody involved :)

Usually, this means incompetent management. They should have had staggered phases and cancelled the general beta weeks ago. This would've given them time to work on salvaging it.
 
Hori Rap Kai is 150. Cheapest one you're likely to find. Lots of people like it.

It's very light and utterly unsuitable for lap play (including tournament play). However, velcro'ed or screwed to a surface, it's absolute awesome (ie: arcade cabinets, home usage).

Yeah but we're not going to be getting any updates until the rest of Capcom comes into work. The server technicians aren't going to be updating the Twitter account and blog. :P

It's got foam pads underneath so it doesn't slip. Heck, my Japanese one doesn't even have those pads but it's still great! I prefer it over TEs.

Hmm, I saw a ton of those at FRYs. Strapped for cash in the meanwhile.

Is there an official fight pad or really god third party fight pad for cheaper?

I still have mye SF4 360 madcatz TE that's collecting dust.
 
Execution barriers as tight as 1f are stupid. Fight the person, not the game.

the truth is that 1f timing becomes an issue in basically every game, and gets exploited/explored more in games that are competitive. the actual problem with sf4 is that it's necessary for some (not many) character's 'basic' combos, and the netcode was garbage.

i really don't think there's a problem with difficult things existing in street fighter. it just has to be gated appropriately so that even new players feel like they have some control over their matches.
 
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.

Bahaha.

I find this hilarious.

edit: Some of you people are losing your grip on reality. Jesus.

Hori fight commander 4 is solid. Decent dpad and buttons. Love mine.

Troll post? Or satire? Either way, 10/10 would Capcom again.

Just buy an adapter and use your 360 madcatz. I use a Titan One.

Kinda wish he said he got fired from his job too for missing work... only other thing to make this perfect.
 
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.

Having good execution is just going to be less of a free pass to run a train on people. If you don't have a mind game, it's gunna hurt you a lot more. Time to get psychic, folks.
 
Ok, I'm back from vacation, pre-ordered, got my code:

Step 1: Install
Step 2: Load game up
Step 3: "Unable to join server"
Step 4: Repeat endlessly until it works.

LET' FUCKING GO!
 
The amount of people who think they are "Paying" for this beta just wow... How hard is it to just click on the amazon Pre-order , Put absolutely nothing down then cancel it later?

Tons of people who aren't even IN THE US are doing this ( which is part of the problem I guess).


If you chose to put down money at Best buy or Gamestop for discounts thats YOUR decision . You Should have done it at a later date when you actually want to "pre-order" or buy the game.
 
Well I caved and overnightted a ps4 hrap stick yday. Booooooooo. BOOOOOOOO. Uhhh is usf4 ps4 fixed? Is skullgirls out for ps4? Should I try playing Bloodborne with a stick? Wtf do I do with this thing now?

:(

Someone has to stop me with these Photochops. I'd set this time aside for SFV and I gots nothin' else to do!

(It's not even that I'm really that angry at Capcom. It's perfectly understandable.)

The fact that they delayed the beta doesn't make me feel too good about when it'll come back. It makes me think the game will be delayed as well.
