Street Fighter V: A Preliminary Thread

[6souls]

Beta Details
PS3 Sticks/Pads won't work (Retail they might) | Forgotten Waterfall & Training Grid stages added | No Local play

Spoiler: show

Characters

Throughout the course of the beta, all six characters will be available. This means that players will be able try out all the characters that were present on the E3 build. To set expectations clearly, the beta will roll out with four characters playable immediately, with Birdie and Cammy becoming playable on Saturday, July 25. The reason for their delayed release is that in addition to testing out the net code, we’re also testing out our new content delivery system.

Gameplay Flow

When players boot the game up and go past the start screen, they’ll be taken to the character select screen.

Players should choose the character they would like to fight others with, as they will not be able to select a different character before heading into battle.

Once they select their character, players will be placed into training mode while an opponent is found. Upon finding an opponent, players will be transported back to the versus screen and begin their match shortly thereafter.

After the match is complete, players will then be brought back to the Grid where they will go back into queue for the next match.

Unfortunately there will be no local versus mode during this beta. Once again, the primary purpose of this beta is to test the online functionality.

Stages

While players are awaiting their match, they’ll be training in the Grid. Versus matches will take place in either the Bustling Side Street (China), Terminal Station (London) or in the brand new stage the Forgotten Waterfall. Here’s a look at what the Forgotten Waterfall looks like.

Look familiar? Maybe you’ve seen the top of it in a previous Street Fighter. Each of the stages has been inspired by various locales throughout the world with the Forgotten Waterfall’s inspiration being directly pulled from New Zealand.

PlayStation 3 Stick Functionality

At this moment in time we’re currently evaluating PS3 joystick and controller functionality for the final product. That said, PS3 joysticks and controllers will not work for this beta.

Now that you know what to expect, players should read up on how the new battle systems work to get ready for battle. For those interested in signing up for the beta, please read the instructions below and follow those which pertain to your region.

Blanka to be revealed at the Brazil Games Show.

[Viq]

Alright! Thanks to Blanka, I won't actually have to learn how to play this game either.

And no local versus for the beta is silly.

[Krandor]

And things were going so well.

[Scunsion]

Back from the grave! I played sfv for the first time yesterday and it was glorious. Beta can't come soon enough.

[Akiyama]

Blanka to be revealed at the Brazil Games Show.

Was that confirmed? Yeah, Ono dressed as Blanka and had all the Blankas out there, but dude's a troll. Could be someone else. I know if it's keeping to the leak, it could be that new character, but yeah, if it's Blanka, that shit's busted super quick.

[6souls]

Not confirmed, heavily hinted and the new stage revealed today is in Brazil (his home country).

[Xno Kappa]

Fuck Blanka.

[Krandor]

And no local versus for the beta is silly.

It's fair since they're being upfront about the point of this beta, but I really hope there's some kind of matchmaking and you're not just stuck playing randoms.

[Moridam]

so much for working toward my dual lands this month, guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on a PS4 stick.

[6souls]

[Thulius]

It's probably Oro.

[Nitsuki]

forgot Oro is brazilian

[Odesseiron]

Didn't they say something new to be unveiled at SDCC or am I remembering incorrectly?

Earlier today, Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono hinted that a Brazilian character would be revealed soon for Street Fighter V. This could be Blanka, Sean, or a new character entirely, but we’ve got a different piece of news to share.

Sources have confirmed to Siliconera that Alex and Urien from Street Fighter III will be playable characters in Street Fighter V as well. Look out for the two to be announced at some point in the future.

[Weltall]

So sounds like the GAF leak is legit, as expected. Didn't the GAF leak also have one of the new characters hailing from Brazil? I can't remember now and I'm lazy.

[Bweigelt]

I'm pretty sure it was the other list that had the new character from brazil, not the GAF list.

[Nitsuki]

You can't have Urien without charge partitions, so if that's in the game. I found my 2nd character!

[6souls]

If we were to go by this list and the reveals are in order, then that could fit. the Brazil show is in October which is plenty of time to reveal the rest. We have SDCC, PAX Prime, Gamecom, & TGS in that time.

[Krandor]

You can't have Urien without charge partitions, so if that's in the game. I found my 2nd character!

If Bison is any indication charge times are greatly reduced from previous games, so neither Urien or Alex will likely need partitioning.
