Or SFIITHDRMXBeta for short! ;p

Beta is out on XBLA when you purchase Commando 3, it's alright, but yup, I bought it just to get access to this Beta. ;D

Well, looks like Ken is back on top in this SF too!

BWAAHAHAHHAAHAHAH! Madness that is! The brokeness is lethal!

Was really hard to get an online match going, so just played a few local games. Ken can juggle off a close 2 hit standing Medium SRK with either another MP SRK or a HP SRK. You can see in the video you can tag a super on the end of the dragon and end with another dragon! Free damage if some poor sap decides to take to the air against him though!

Couldn't tag that Super on the end of the dragon myself on the few games I played tonight, but shouldn't be too hard with a bit of practice. What I did end up doing alot was the following combo where you jump in with a meaty Hard Kick, Medium Sweep into a Medium SRK...and you guessed it, another SRK at the end of it. No lie, 85% or so damage and dizzy! Just finish off with standing HP xx Hard SRK. Over!

Just been trying to replicate it again as I post this just to make sure I'm not going mad, can only seem to get it working against Ken as Ryu dizzies at the end of the medium dragon.

Someone else here try it. It's horrid! XD (Do it for my sanity! It's getting really late here, can't focus and pull it off consistantly now and I'm doubting myself now)

Apart from that...

*Really liked the front end of the game.
*Music on the character select screena and Ryu's stage is decent. Sometimes cuts out and starts back at the begining of the track instead of continuing into the next round.
*Really good connection on the games I did manage to get into, even with 6 or so spectators watching too.
*You can change your buttons while you wait. ;p Good thing as I just plugged the stick in and didn't want to leave the game in fear of not getting back in!

The game hanging almost everytime you search or try to join a game is horrendous, Beta or not. Was just about to give up on it untill I got into a game and happily played for around about half an hour. Then the game hung on the spectator screen, despite me and the next player up having pressed A to be "Ready".

Ah well, will still buy this, really impressed with the netcode when I did finally get a game in more then anything. Didn't mind the new HD graphics either. Smiling

*watches video again
*coughs and wheezes blood

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they'll be finding major problems all the way through this game's life. You can't change any aspect of a game like SF's system without a massive domino effect kicking off.

Playtesters these days are not of the same breed we used to have, they won't find even a fraction of the problems - we will.

I can't believe you've got Commando 3 though! Laughing out loud That garbage was loaded onto a PS3 Test machine I had back in November, played it out of curiosity and almost cried.

Edit: got confirmation that this bug is long gone.

Enjoying it while I can, it's apparently an old build and as it's the one they submitted to MS months ago, thats the one that went up.

MUCH better video from the Japanese man dem.

Some of the stuff you can pull off is TOO SICK! Allowing you to connect a sweep after the 2-hit mid........are they sure? I've seen fights break out for FAR less than that!

It's bizarre the way they've got the boss names the wrong way round on the Japanese version too, that'll confuse the hell out of people! XD

Is that a combo video of stuff you couldn't do in the OG version? That Ryu overhead into HK sweep doesnt ring a bell before...!?

I just hope they've tanked up Dhalsim against his fights against a Honda. Man I hate that match up.

Also, I wish they let Zangief do a SPD before the round starts. That would rock.

That would be soooo TEEF!!! XD

Imagine you could move Zangief before the round starts like in CotA, as soon as it says "Fight" - instant SPD! Laughing out loud

I don't remember any of that shit in the video being in Super Turbo, mind you I don't remember what happened beyond 2 days ago...
