Yes, but it's the case for many other people.

The general consensus was that the last beta was the worst of the lot in
terms of netcode and matchmaking. What's more, they still haven't proposed
any solution to rage quitting. One would think they would have used this
opportunity to test something like that.
I'm starting to wonder where all the money went when they developed this
game. Vanilla SFIV had more in terms of features, characters, stages and
music. And that was a game that Ono admitted that it was nearly impossible
to get funding for. It also had very little going for it in terms of
marketing.
SFV is a mild graphical upgrade if you compare the time and hardware
generation difference. The aesthetic direction is a step backwards IMO
(Zangief CA hype...zzzzz), and there is less on offer overall. It's even
more baffling when you consider that there's less to animate because there
are less moves and stuff like neutral jump attacks are the same as the
angled jumps in most cases. We are 2 weeks from release and they still
haven't even bothered to fix the clipping issues on the character VS
screen. How does Ken have *worse* hair than his SFIV iteration? After so
long we learn that Vega wears a mask not because he's beautiful, but
because he's fugly? How do those horribly animated background spectators
even exist in this day and age? They are SFIV level of quality, with less
personality.
Even the reveal trailers are bland compared to stuff like SSFIV's and SFxT
reveals. The game is also terribly optimised on PC. Compare that to Xrd
which plays flawlessly.
People tell me I'm nitpicking but lets be honest here. The difference
between MK9 and MKX is light years (although MKX also sucks on PC). The
difference between SFIV and SFV are a few shaders, keyframes and a
questionable palette.
I personally feel that they should have spent more time on actual game
development than marketing.

What I don't get is how the netcode and matchmaking got progressively
worse each beta.
The matchmaking doesn't work as advertised. I have a network monitor
running while playing so I can check the network calls. If you set your
connection status to "5", it means you should only get matched up with
people from your region. This is obviously not the case as the server
sends me match candidates with pings over 200ms. If you set your
connection status to "any", it means it should match you up with anyone,
but on the last day of the beta I got like 1 match every 30 minutes, if
that.
Their API in general is also poorly written. Their server returns HTTP
Code 500 when it doesn't accept your requested match candidate. To someone
unfamiliar with the service it's like showing a blue screen of death
instead of an error message. The beta itself is so bad that it contains
default assets that they used for testing, including IP addresses and
passwords. Really shoddy.

I was thinking more along the lines of system flexibility, i.e. what is
possible post-release compared to pre-release.
Would it really make sense to give people early access to the exact same
version of the game they'll be playing on release day? By the time the game
is released, people would have figured out most, if not all tech there is
to discover which would make the release incredibly underwhelming (what
else is there to discover?)
It's not so much about introducing new system features/mechanics but
about restricting what is possible in betas and removing said restrictions
post-release.

Isn’t the point of the beta to fix issues that you don’t know about –
provide some sort of QA on the stuff? That’s pointless if there is a large
amount of content they didn’t put in.
Sure, it’s possible that they’re hiding extra characters or whatnot,
but I don’t see the point in having a beta if they’re going to have large
shifts in the system. And it is the overall system that people are
complaining about right?
I’m just happy that the game has shifted enough that I might finally be
able to get into it.

Morning peeps,
After I had a short discussion with SAP surrounding sf5.
I realized something, that in essence two things can happen at launch:
- the game is going to be just like the beta and theres going to
be nothing added
- Capcom will release something resembling sf5 beta but it will
there will be other "stuff" added.
Sap is optimus prime on this one and believes the 2nd scenario will
happen as he sees it as a dumb move on Capcom's part to reveal everything
about sf5 on the beta. I believe Capcom is a dumb company and do make
mistakes. theres nothing else coming, this is it, I hope not , but I think
it is.
Thoughts?

The previous games ran Like ass on PS3 when stuff got crazy on screen,
not sure if they gonna care about getting it to run smoothly on PS4 or just
gonna push the GFX through the roof instead.
Hopefully this time they dont lock the framerate to 30 on PC... but
they probably not :P

So after fucking about with Shaolin Monks trying to get aARMax-modded version of it to work, I finally came across a 2 sentence long
text in a forum...somewhere... that points out that my "cheap" HD-adapter
is to blame for it not working.
On the plus side, I managed to get the ToxicOS cheat system to workfor the first time ever.
Which means I get to play as all my hack characters again. Who's upfor some Shaolin Monks?
