Note that the trailer mirrors get deleted left and right, so it might not be available for too long.

That said, yeah, I like her much more than Necalli or Rashid. The slow fireballs that can setup command grabs look damn dirty.

This one's been up for several hours and is being hosted by EB Games Brazil. So, I think it'll stay up.

Both Laura and her fighting style look magnificent. Will definitely try her out.

In other news, the beta got an update today. Load times are faster, the text on message boxes is different along with the coloration, and you can now save videos and screenshots.

I'm going to try and actually get into this beta. I'll be getting a stick at SCR and pre-ordering just in time to finally play Ken in training! :D

Beta went up earlier today. Vega and Mika were the only ones available initially, until an update introduced Necalli and Rashid.

EDIT: Beta is officially live.

Unfortunately the matchmaking is broken, and while Capcom is trying to fix it they are not confident they will be able to in time. But hey, people wanted offline training mode. Now they kinda have it.

If they don't get around to fixing it they did say that they will open the beta up at certain points after it has ended.

I stand by my word and only used Ken thus far. I've only dabbled with the other characters so to speak.

Ken is fun though. I really need to try Rasid.

Good God Karin is amazing. She is ridiculously good, would practically put Mika to shame if Mika was not her own special brand of stupid.

No rekkas outside of V-Trigger though?! No 360 command throw (which was originally the starting point for her craziest V-ISM combos)? Not even her Geese Howard counters? WTF were they smoking? My Alpha 3 main is ruined, and R. Mika is even more stupid in her own ways now. No I don't care how "broken" they are, it's about being interesting and rewarding to play as.

I hate how Capcom has dumbed down rekkas since SFIV, where if you connect with one hit on the ground you're guaranteed to hit with the rest if you keep mashing the same command. Fei Long may be SFIV's most honest character, but there's a lot less subtlety and finesse involved in playing him well than in Super Turbo. This is also now true for Karin.

I don't see how Karin is amazing. She's trash. Her normals are terribad, her antiair is a joke (outside the EX DP), she doesn't have any reversal (again, outside her EX DP), her V skill is a joke, her V-trigger is totally useless.

BUT, she has kyo's scissor kick, so that's ok.

I like Ken. I've always been a bit of a 1 character specialist in the games that I play. Even if I find subs, I never take them seriously. I know that sounds lame but that's just me.

I'm really interested in maining Karin and today on eventhubs there is a very intersting article about her...

even if I'm reading carefully how to do the "just frame attack" I can't understand....

 

is there any easier way to explain this? Lol

The conference also had a slide which pretty much confirms Alex as one of the first 6 post-release characters. If the leaks are to be believed, the rest are Ibuki, Juri, Urien, Balrog (Boxer) and Guile. 

EDIT: Oh yeah, we also got the release date: February 16th!
