yup I've tried basically any time I was sitting on my PC browsing the web so hours and hours all weekend long and never got passed any errors. Canada is fucked on this one I think. Definitely eastcoast at least.

Same, and I'm in Montreal. Waste of time.

Just remember, Street Fighter is a game all about controlling space.

Bingo, the biggest mistake beginners make is focusing completely on combos and damage. Footsies, understanding your buttons, Anti airing, and utilizing your normals and specials to maintain and control space to your advantage are more important and will have you doing better in matches than the flashiest combos ever will. I can't tell you how many players in SF4 that I've stomped with nothing more than basic footsies, pokes, counter pokes and anti airs. The matches I've had in SF5 so far have gone the exact same way.

 

[Clawww]

what do you guys think about the profile metrics and graphs? Don't remember exactly what they were but something like:

Power - Respect - Friendlies


And the Defense/Offense meter? What do you think about that?

 

[Hex]

Hour and a half or so of training (in two sessions- had to go out during the first session)
4 matches (Maybe 5?)

 

[Collateral22]

Around 2 hours of training, 7 matches. EU account, EU code. Netcode feels amazing with EU players. Asia and US are decent, better than 4 imo.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I played probably a total of 5-6 hours of training mode yesterday and had around 15 matches? This is throughout the course of the whole day. I first got on at like 3pm CT and stopped at around 5.30 CT (with brief disconnects but I got back in). Maybe only 3 matches during that entire block.

I logged on again after midnight and got in after a couple of attempts and played many more matches. Especially after the 2.00am update they did where they SIGNIFICANTLY increased the amount of players matching up. I was getting a match every 2-3 minutes.

Houston, TX for reference.

I'm now learning this myself as a newcomer to SF. Very much about space.

I was obsessing over learning combo's in the dojo only to get beasted anyway for my overly aggressive unsafe conduct lol.

 

[Smo21]

I made a us account and im gonna try that today. Vesper Arcade guys got in after making a us account. Do i need ps+ on this account to play? If anyone has a 14 day free trial code I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

 

[qcf x2]

Playing with Ryu, I'm worried about Ken not having a parry of some sort. It seems kinda integral to a shoto to have some type of defensive option, since, well, everyone knows how to defend against a shoto.

You need defense because people know how to defend against you? That logic doesn't even make sense to be honest. Also, shoto players wanting more options, wow.

Your general defense as a shoto is the fireball game + dps for anti air. The last thing we need is every shoto having a parry; they made Ryu's parry kind of limited as it is because it's already more than he needs. It seems like they're forcing it to make the Evo moment 37 possible. Ryu is supposed to be fundamentally balanced, not overpowered. And Ken is supposed to be fundamentally balanced while skewing toward the technical side of offense. They're not going to play the same, they don't need the same options.

hehe it's been said that a great player can walk you all the way to the corner.

you don't need ps+ to play, don't worry.

 

[Smo21]

you don't need ps+ to play, don't worry.

Thanks. I really hope everyone thats been shut out can get in today if they even do it. Ive spent 10+ hours just clicking over the last couple day.

 

[ShadowKhaN]

you don't need ps+ to play, don't worry.

Yo do actually

 

[Kane1345]

Is this new? The OP says that you do. That's cool if it's changed then cause I'll just try on my US account

 

[Wynnebeck]

So for my Cammy users that have gotten in, what should I look for when I finally get in? What are our footsies, etc.?

 

[devo1989]

Yo do actually

I played this morning from the UK on a dummy US account without ps+. It was the US client however.

 

[Nuszka]

So far i got 1 minute in training mode, tried all in all like 4 hours to get in. Think i will move to my US account and try if the beta will be available tonight.

 

[professor denim]

Usually the psn plus has to be on the primary user, so other accounts on the same console can use ps plus as well. My kids play online with their accounts without ever subscribing to ps plus..

 

[ciD_Vain]

st. mk and cr. mk are my faves. Also, fr. hk into target combo is cool

This will be the case then. My normal (UK) account has plus.

 

[Shito]

Saw Maximilian practice some mean reset with her yesterday: instant ex cannon strike xx any quick normal xx dash.
Depending on the timing of the dash, he would end up in front or behind the opponent.

 

[Pachimari]

Just remember, Street Fighter is a game all about controlling space.

Yeah I guess I gotta practice spacing as one of the fundamentals. A little like Tekken were spacing is also really important.

 

[Kei-]

I played this morning from the UK on a dummy US account without ps+. It was the US client however.

Only one account (that has the PS4 set as its primary PS4) needs PS+ for all other accounts to enjoy online play and other benefits of PS+. So if your UK account has PS+, that's why your US account can play online.

 

[Pachimari]

My US account is my primary user account, but it is my EU account which has PS Plus. =/

 

[Floex]

Il like the idea of it, if it at actually works. Nice to see what areas need improving.

Perfect

edit.
Confirmed. I just played a round of USF4 on the us account that doesn't have ps+

So did the Beta worked at all to anyone here? It seems like every time I tried I got a variety of Error Codes and I just tried again and the game simply kicks me back into the Home Screen and closes the game automatically.

 

[Saro]

Now the beta just closes after pressing any button. Is that normal?

 

[BizzyBum]

So no beta today?

 

[ciD_Vain]

The beta is down right now.

If you guys use Twitter, follow @StreetFighter and put notifications on so you get real time updates sent to you about the status of the beta. They tweet when any little thing happens with the beta.

 

[FrankNitty]

I'm surprised that in the beta when you are viewing your fight profile it tracks who you fought, their statistics it saves the replay for all of your fights that you can watch again if you want, who they fought and their replays, etc. It's a nice feature. Hopefully you will be able to save those.

Interesting. It does that with my US account, but with my Canadian account it's the same old error message loop.

 

[Zerojul]

My US account is my primary user account, but it is my EU account which has PS Plus. =/

I have the exact same configuration and I was able to play a few matches today, don't worry

 

[Troubled Bat]

Anybody who hasn't gotten in yet, finally get in?

If Max is on the whitelist, then a bunch of people in this thread must be as well considering so many were getting in extremely fast after being kicked out several times in a row last night.

[Kane1345]

I like Fuudo's Chun combo. I'm going to try that when I get into training next

 

[Hasney]

Servers aren't up.

 

[Relix]

Servers aren't up.

Oh u thought it was. Thought I was close to finally getting in haha

 

[Bloodrage]

Mother of god, the game itself feels so fucking amazing. Here's hoping for as little online issues as possible at launch.

No beta yet?

It's down right now looks like.

 

[BizzyBum]

Is it just me or does the combo potential in this game feel less?

 

[Dambrosi]

Like I said earlier:

Join the club. No change here either.

So, how do I get on this Illuminati whitelist some of you seem to be on?

 

[Bloodrage]

You can definitely combo, but they're not focusing on combos for SF5, which is a good thing.

That's intended by design. Most of the long combos in SFIV were due to Focus Attacks.

Of course, a few characters will be combo-focused to appeal to people like yourself. If Juri is in, she will probably be a combo monster.

 

[Coda]

Are people getting in now? I was getting in more frequently last night but I've only played a total of 2 matches during this whole beta.
