Its not really a beta, the game is finished at this point. They are just giving us a demo, but calling it a beta is more interesting for marketing purposes I guess.

It’s the same build as the previous closed beta, so the balance will be different from both the release version and the demo they’ve already released

Yeah but they could just not have an open beta

But it’s a stress test. The open beta isn’t a reward/punishment and it isn’t for us, it’s for Capcom.

I also notice PS4 is left out. I have to assume at this point PS4 just isn’t included in crossplay.

It's presumably meant as a stress test, but it's also open. So people who didn't play last time can play. They can preview the game. With 8 characters in it. To try the game out. That's what the ontological difference is between this world and the one in which there is no open beta. That is how the things are different.

In a better timeline, they'd let us try the new characters but the drat crack addicts ruined it :negative:

They want to finish the real game, not improve a beta they forked off months ago

Capcom really is doing this release smart as hell. I didn't expect a stress test after the single player demo dropped, and I'm happy to be wrong about that.

I get the concept, it’s just weird to put a six-month old version of the game in people’s hands a week before release

Makes sense to me, they already know it works and doesn't have any new problems. This way they can stress test the system and be mostly sure there's not some day 1 bug that ruins the whole testing period or something

I dunno if that's why mind you, but it checks out in my dumb brain :shrug:

gently caress me rigid it's almost like people want to play the game asap even if it's an older version and a video game company is interested in building hype so they can sell more units while also minimising expenditure by not creating a new beta based on an updated codebase, truly the motivations here are a complex and inscrutable web.

Have they officially revealed who are the Season Pass 1 characters yet? Still haven't gotten my order in and wondering if the Deluxe Edition (or some other one?) is worth it or if I should wait it out depending on which characters it covers

Rashid, A.K.I, Akuma and Ed in that order.

With drive rush changing moves frame data I'm really not looking forward to dealing with Rashid's sHP for another 5 years :sigh:

Also I hope season 2 pulls some deep cuts (and Menat, and C.Viper, and also gives me a pony)

I'm just gonna say it, I think Hakan sucks. Like mechanically he is kinda neat I like the idea of him using oil as a resource and his slippery moves are pretty cool but visually he looks fuckin stupid. Honestly I don't like a lot of the new characters introduced in 4. It's basically Juri is one of the only salvageable ones and that's why she keeps coming back. El Fuerte sucks, Rufus double sucks. I don't even like Seth the body change was like the only thing to make him not bland as hell.

Edit: If anyone says they want Abel they're a cop.

Double Edit: C. Viper is okay I guess.

Woah woah woah, Rufus is cool imo

I could do with never seeing El Fuerte again, though drive impacting his nonsense would be funny. I honestly don't really have an opinion on Hakan because I don't think I ever fought a single one?

As an addendum to this I wouldn't mind them adding another fat character to Street Fighter. Just not Rufus.

Edit: Or Birdie. Why do all the fat dudes in Street Fighter have to be gross and obnoxious

Hakan, Juri, and Rufus own, and I really like C Viper despite the fact that she is a lost KOF character

Seth became awesome in SFV

El Fuerte is Trash tier, and there is a much more interesting version of Abel called Manon now

My BIG out of nowhere pull from Capcom is to get updated Maki or Sodom, but that poo poo probably ain't happening.

It really is surprising to me that Cody or Guy aren't even confirmed DLC yet, considering they have to be involved with the story somehow of VI

Kimberly is the Bushinryu rep and Cody is now a reformed mayor, though Guy could technically grow his hair and beard out to become the next proto-Zeku. Always felt like Guy should have been a Ryu-level guy in terms of power.

I always liked the underwritten canon that Cody is actually strong as gently caress (like at least as good as Ryu if not higher) but he's lazy and would rather wander about having fun beating up Mad Gear when he needs to, or now being mayor than do it seriously.

Grandmaster Guy could be neat

Sakura is probably the character evolution I'm most interested in seeing. She was a prodigy already and now add some more years of practice on top of that. Like I imagine they wouldn't make her all that different, but you could pull stuff from like Gouken or Oni, or she gets her own demon. Really I'd settle for just making her kinda clumsy looking moves look cooler and more deliberate.

Dark Sakura from MVC2 should become cannon imo, and then we can just replace Akuma with sakura
