For everyone asking if the servers are up, you'll know when you see posts of "I'M IN!" or "I got disconnected."

Fuck fuck fuck fuck cmon Capcom I need my fix.
Servers are down today. You're wasting your time.
Yet watch it count as one of the days of "beta access". Has anyone on the Capcom side said anything about how long the beta will remain up? An extra day? 2?
They've already said they're extending it for the full 5 days when the login and matchmaking code is stable.
It's Sunday, or they're just busy extinguishing the servers.
you could say the same thing about the last 2 days too ;D

Why? out of curiosity.
The game feels completely different than anything released under the street fighter name in the last decade. The time I spent training was quite eye opening and made me get a good feel for the game.

This whole thing is a mess.

you gotta take that labwork and try it out for realsies at some point. i'm itchin to try what i practiced in training mode in the wild some more.
just want one solid afternoon session of games
Agreed. I played 2 games so far, one disconnected towards the end. But actually fighting people in this game is a ton of fun, especially now that I have some more and better Nash combos under my belt.
It would be cool for about 5-10 minutes, but then I'd just want to play a match. Personally, I like to learn by playing against other people, not a training dummy. And from what I've seen from the streams I've checked on, even if you get in, you spend the majority of the time just waiting in training mode. You can't even switch characters without risking being booted out, I mean c'mon, lmao.
I'm happy people are psyched to just grind it out in training mode, but that does nothing for me.
I mean it's been what, 3 days already? I'm not even sure it'll get stable

Goddamn. Doesn't even look that hard to pull off, though it does require a crush counter.

Eh, what are the odds of knowing you're going to crush counter while in V-Trigger state with Birdie.

Wait until ppl figure out the game. Ryu for example will have denjin setups and also a better grasp on what/when to parry.
Sure it will. Long time between now and 2016.
People need to chill.
I'm not talking about the full game, lol.
I'm just saying, I can't think of a beta I participated in where I couldn't even get in a game 3 days later, though I might have a mental block about some painful past beta experience that I refuse to recall.
The last hour or so of the last session worked really well when they had a lot of capacity. Most people in the US got in without issue and matches were being found super quick.
I think the next one will be totally open US, then if that survives, back to open.

You're a Dirty Bird user though! I can smell your bias!
Yeah but thats 2-3am where i live. I cant stay up all night just to get some time in
Point is there's a huge amount of time between now and when it releases. We'll get our 5 days...as has been said..over and over and over....

I'm a person who still uses a character even if they get nerfed, so no. Lol.
Like I said, what are the odds of that situation. I looked at the corner crush combo video of his, and even that needed V-Trigger state Bull Horn.

I know, but what I mean is that they're making progress, so it should help when it's fully opened up again.

I think part of it was that it was so late people were logging off. I just want to get a chance to play already.
wtb resets off ex side kick.

Hm, at 15:57 Ken is at 1 pixel and the blocked super from Nash didn't kill him. I thought supers could actually kill through chip damage in this game. What happened?

i couldnt find any real reset potential w/ ryu. nothing was juggleable without an ex special afaik. anyone see anything otherwise?

Eh, VT plus Super and getting a crush counter from a heavy kick on a grappler, if you get hit by that you deserve the damage.
FadedRevolution
Member
Don't think so. I don't think he'd have anything, even if they included the side kick. Game would be completely different if it had the 3s juggle system.

I don't think designing the entire game engine around the few people who want to "style" is a good idea. A tighter, more focused play experience will benefit more players than a lengthy combo-crazy game, which would only satisfy a very specific portion of the FG audience.
Yet, people still play ST to this day.
When you play SF4, most people generally do the same combos in regular play. Just watch the average tourney match. Watch the average online match.
Most 'expression' comes from how you lead UP to those combos. Your movement, your strategy, your space control, your aggression, your defense.
Anyways, there's still plenty of combo 'expression' in SF5. The linking system is pretty versatile, allowing all sorts of strings on the ground. I was surprised as how much stuff links into other stuff with Chun. It's just not going to be about length any more...at least not with the currently revealed characters.
