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

That feel when you haven't played a single match yet..

Pretty sure, saw it on Max's stream not that long ago. Looked to be after the first hit of HK spiral arrow. I already have a couple v-trigger combos down.

Just did it with LK spiral arrow. Think you have to do it as soon as it hits. Haven't got it again.
 
Coincidence is twice.

6 times beyond is fucking rigged no matter what anybody says.

Either they white listed his IP or white listed the people from his area to make sure he makes in, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't know (unlikely).

But you can't possibly say to our face this isn't intentional, because it is.

He has been for so many hours, with a total downtime of less than 15 minutes. My ass that it's random..

I agree. I mean, yeah it's technically possible, but at some point you need to consider the probability and realize that it's literally insane to think something isn't up with these odds

Total downtime of less than 15 minutes? Bullshit, it took him 20 minutes to get back in the last reset alone. And now he got booted and still hasn't gotten back in.

But keep drinking that kool aid if that's what gets you through this

Yeah, it's rough timing. Wanna learn this ASAP cuz you can get it everytime with a v-trigger cancel, but that doesn't make sense because then you're treating V-trigger as a FADC instead of its own thing.

IE my current combo for v-trigger into super is either: f+hk starter b.hp activate c.mk spiral arrow super or cannon strike b.hp activate c.mk spiral arrow super

but again, not viable because if you save it for that you're just never using v-trigger
 
I have had this auto joining for two days straight and have never connected. I hope this isn't the expected threshold for this beta. Yes I understand it's a beta but even Homefront let us in here and there.

Edit: And I am in... oh man. US east coast here. NY.
 
at least you guys are getting in. I'd be happy just go play for 10 minutes at this point. Toronto is apparently under some kind of geographical blacklist, nobody I know of around here has gotten a single match

Yep. Havent been able to get in at all. Toronto sucks

You probably already know this, but you can also target combo B.HP into HK for an easy super setup. Probably doesn't do as much damage though.
 
No more matches after the first 2...

I'm going to go back to main menu and try again. Looks like server slots are becoming plentiful according to Combofiend!
 
Ryu feels strong as fuck. All his moves feel like they have real weight behind them. Man. Looks like I will take my Ryu out of retirement. Haven't mained him since Snes days.

You're the one drinking kool aid.

He wasn't trying to log in when he waited for "servers to go back up", the amount of times he actually was "pressing any button" was less than 15 minutes.

As for right now, yup game is off screen, again.
 
Max: Peter, I think people are catching on. Do something.
Combofiend: No worries, I'll disconnect you for 10 mins, then you'll "accidentally" log in again.
Max: By Ono, you're a genius

I'm betting this is what's happening now #Whitelist #Huntthetruth
 
Got in for like 30 minutes. Practiced some Cammy. Man I'm really liking how heavy each hit feels. I'm having a hard time doing any combos. It doesn't help that I don't have a PS4 stick yet (really wish my Chun TE would work on this). Started playing a bit of Ryu then got killed by Capcoms OP 21007 combo.
Any tips for Cammy? She's always my main so any help would be appreciated.
 
Not only have I never been able to get past the menu screen once since the SFV beta started, but now it seems to have broken PSN for me. Now I cant play online on Bloodborne or USF4

Dunno how much damage that does but off the top of my head the cannon strike one does 431 when not at low HP scaling.

It went down for everyone. I think it's safe to say this isn't just some nutter conspiracy.
if it's down for everyone why am I in
 
I'M BACK IN!!!!

Oddly enough, every time I entered Up-Right-Down-Right-L1-Right-R1-Right-X, I got in. The directions were on the D-Pad.

Took him less than 3 minutes.

I hope that will get us on our side. If not i'll just flat out ignore you at this point.
 
I swear, the Hori RAP4 Kai's turbo function is a godsend for this beta.

I got it before Xrd, convinced a friend to get TE2. After realizing RAP had no button for touchpad (Making it hard to quick-reset in practice mode) and I liked the TE2 stick a lot more, I began regretting my purchase and thought that spending the extra 100 dollars would have been worth it. Even the newer Hori's have the touchpad, but I'm too broke to buy another stick.


But I swear, if this turbo gets me into the beta tonight before I got to bed in 30 minutes, I will take back everything I regretted.


(Doesn't change the fact that I've been doing this for nearly 6 hours straight to no avail...)

It did not take him less than 3 minutes. He was trying to get in before he went away to get a drink and got 21007 multiple times, even rebooting his PS4 once to try and get in.

I will not buy any whitelist theories that involve people having to try more than once to get in, so let's just ignore each other
