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

Makes sense since damage and stun are heavily increased.

I think I like it, too. Fundamentals, footsies, and matchup knowledge will play more into effect rather then cheap set plays and 1-frame focus attacks combos.

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

It's fucking glorious, isn't it? Back to old school basic shit. Love it. If Ice Blue Gi Ryu is in this, yeah, back to him I go for the first time since the Snes days. He feels perfect in V, even without the mule kick (still hope he gets it by final release.)

Yeah, but keep in mind: 1. There are tons of combos in this game. 2. We still don't really understand the game at all. 3. Everything is subject to change.
 
Yeah just tried, the game just kicks me out of the game completely when it tries to log in. I don't get an error message at all now.
 
In regards to combos please remember there's also specific combos against certain characters. For ex. characters with big hurt boxes and that kinda of thing.

I like the game feels kinda like SF3: New generation
 
I've had a total of 31 matches.

Day 1: 0
Day 2: 11 wins, 5 losses
Day 3: 13 wins, 2 losses (Birdie day)

I had three matches that I got disconnected from as well, that I did not count.

Location: Texas

Edit: I couldn't even count how many times I got in. Lol. It was a lot.

Training Mode: Countless hours
 
Chun Li can combo off of her overhead in V-Trigger mode (and on counter hit in non-V-Trigger mode).

Combos will be important in this game. Just not the bloated, heavily damage scaled, FADC combos from SF4.

SF5 combos will be all about DAMAGE, not length. And that's great, because DAMAGE wins matches.

Looking back on the focus attack mechanic is interesting now. I recall when it was first introduced I didn't like how it sounded. It looked like something out of a 3D fighter, and alien to an SF game. It felt like it took over the SF feel too much. Now with SFV dropping it, I feel like yeah, this is more like SF and it was maybe not that great of an idea. I think it was mostly done as a result of coming off SF3 parries, but it probably would have been fine without it. I fell like the V-trigger system works much better in making things interesting while still keeping within the game play spirit of SF. I'll miss the choice of supers though.

Wondering why people want Ryu's donkey kick back so much. Does it bring anything to the table he doesn't have, or just that it's a cool-looking move?
 
lmao my bro came back from vacation, saw the title screen that i left on the TV, got hyped and tried to log in. (he doesn't know anything)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They have to be planning to add more supers per character, right? Maybe not for a while, but it seems like a no-brainer addition.

But it's nice to have the freedom to style instead of doing max dmg. It can get into your opponent's head when you want to make a statement. Also, maximizing dmg potential for combos was a lot of fun in SF4.

I really think limiting combo systems is going to shorten the lifespan on the game. It limits the amount of freedom of expression for the player, but hopefully it's not as shallow as it feels now.

Eh. Is there money in that? We'll see.
 
Is there any confirmation if the servers will be back at the same time as yesterday? because that would mean in 5 minutes. I keep trying hoping to be among the first.

ST is still being played today and, if I'm not mistaken, this game has more options than that to be flashy.

The game not crashing back to the dashboard every time I try to log in would be a nice change of pace.

It was amazing. I feel bad for all the folks that gave up around that time. It was flawless.

Now time for real talk. Did it get flawless after everyone went to bed? Or is it because everyone went to bed that it was flawless? Capcom + Japanese Devs + Internet = ?

I want to believe.
 
Just got a message saying something along the lines of "close and restart the application to install title update"? Then next log in is kick to dashboard haha
