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

Oh yeah, my wife LOVES the waterfall stage. She says "the sheepies get hype!"
Has anyone been able to wall-splat the right side yet? I'm real curious if we can go in that cave.
Can that leak still be found anywhere or was it scrubbed?

Earlier leak:
- Time / Weather effects in stages
- Release date : 2016, before the end of the fiscal year.
- Unreal Engine 4
- The new mechanic is named V-Trigger : You can change your stance.
- 16 characters
- No Super Street Fighter 2X + EX (Updates kinda like League of Legends / Killer Instinct)
- The story mode will be way much better, they know they f***** up with sf4.
- The PC version is here mostly because they want to bring the game to Latin America, South Asia, Africa...
 
Man, it'd be nice to just get into the training mode to try out some stuff and see how the game feels. Hopefully this'll be in better shape by the time I get home from work tomorrow. I'm gonna try a few more times then I'm going to move on to something else tonight.
 
The one mixup I can't handle: go into training mode to learn a new character but get stuck with him in matches, or practice the same combos I have for 4 hours today with Bison hoping matchmaking works? :p
 
This is unreal. Did they actually invest time into this? Where they unprepared? Did everyone go on vacation and trust an intern to handle this?

It seems like the actual build of the beta is sound, which is a shame because when it plays, it plays quite nicely. I think everything issue related is through the servers malfunctioning.

It really does seem like a lot of people new to the game caught the fighting game hyp and preordered the game to get beta. I was 5-1 today.......I am never 5-1 in fighting games in first 6 tries.

Edit: anyone know when they will shut servers for the night or was that not updated yet?

The most likely explanation is that they severely underestimated the number of people would get a code. Forcing people to pre-order was meant to keep the numbers down, but they probably just didn't realize that places like Amazon allow you to cancel preorders no questions asked. This thing might as well have be open to anyone.
 
Bison is much different but I can see him being a problem to deal with. I was happy he stayed a charge character too. Charging is a lost art nowadays.

Heh, I suppose I'd be one of them. I got in a few times, and I've had lots of fun with what I played.
 
Has anyone been able to get in in the past few hours that hadn't already been trying earlier in the day or got in earlier in the day?

Bonus points if you're not on the West Coast.

I just started trying maybe 2 hours ago and got in twice, once for 5 minutes, and once for 30 minutes. West Coast though.

The only way around that would be ordering from Amazon doesn't get you into betas anymore. Which would suck.
