Dudley has to be in at some point, he just has to be. Maybe some Fei Long love as well.

Not sure how I feel about beating up a cute dog.

I might dig out the mayflash arcade stick tonight and have a session getting my ass kicked on SFV.

It's good. It's very very good.
There is clearly a lot of thought having been put in here. But key takeaways: - It feels great - it looks excellent - It's fun to play - little to no loading screens - rematch is FAST
There are so many QoL features too. - You can see your opponent selecting rematch or leave, which is hilarious - The frame data guide is excellent - You can EXCLUDE levels from ranked match (no more training stage forever) - You can change the "here comes a new challenger" screen your opponent sees
Servers are fucked right now so it's impossible to login, but still.. well done Capcom.
Edit: and I genuinely mean that "well done Capcom"; they've put in loads of effort for this. Can't wait until it properly comes out!

I've watched a couple of videos. The presentation looks great.

Isn't the input lag thing on PS5 with fighting games using UE?
Can't remember where I read that.

Yeah. They switched engines but a few PS5 builds out in the wild still had mad lag, apparently.

This all sounds very good, I'm glad sense prevailed and we didn't get Ono's tag team SF6.

Missed the closed beta summons. I want to be a bad at fighting games cunt too!
It's a genre that ever so often I get an itch to try to git gud at, which very quickly falls apart when I realise that I can't do even the simplest combos and only have about 50% success rate with specials.
Seems they are actually putting some effort into he single player here, so really interested in getting this. Seems they just have a 2023 release date, but must be quite early if they are doing the beta now.

My biggest handicap is a decade of playing SF2 variants where all combos started with jump in.
That shit gets punished but it's burnt into my core.

Capcom pretty much always release their console fighting games in February, I think only SF X Tekken was around March so yeah it coming.

I hit training, learn loads of good combos. Hit online, cannot repeat said combos and get battered.
Rinse, repeat.

This all sounds very good, I'm glad sense prevailed and we didn't get Ono's tag team SF6. It genuinely feels like someone took a fresh look at the current state of fighting games and realised there is so much more potential. For example, as well as the frame data you can show a small bar which indicates when you can cancel normals. It shows up above your head and looks a bit like the “active reload” in gears. What a great way to demonstrate to new players how to do this stuff!

Also can I just reiterate that the loading times are stupendous.

I think Capcom have become my favourite dev again as they once were back when I was a young Jambowayoh.

Yeah I keep finding cool stuff.
In training mode it has a number of suggested dummy presets - stuff like “practice anti airs” or “practice throw breaks”. It then has a short explanation of the purpose and then sets the dummy up for you. So good!

Having fun with this, though I'm much shitter than I expected to be. I wasn't this bad on SFV You can play Final Fight and Extreme Battle in the Beta too Extreme Battle is interesting, it's first to 5 knock-downs while a bull runs across the stage every now and again. Nice bit of levity

Fighting games peaked with spamming L2 with every character in Soul Calibur 2.

Would it have killed them to include a menu to start fights? Really not a fan of the hub so far, but I seem to be in a minority here. After my joke about hoping it has a control scheme that allows 1 button supers, I didn't expect it to be the default!
Core gameplay seems pretty goooood though. Need to give it a proper run in today.
