Yesterday, I was one of the seemingly infinite number of people who received a beta key to access street Fighter V’s first closed beta. Naturally, I’m rather excited about this. The beta went live today, and my plan was to finish up work and spend the rest of today and the whole weekend playing the thing. Only it’s very, very broken right now.
The beta has been hit with technical issues, which I suppose is what betas are all about. Better now, than when the game launches, right? The servers are unable to stand up to the weight of so many people trying to get their Street Fighter action, and has been perpetually down pretty much since the beta started. While some have been able to have a quick match, most who’ve tried have gone against the toughest of challengers: a server that refuses connections.
Capcom’s Street Fighter Twitter account has been furiously trying to keep users abreast of the situation.
We are aware users are still having issues logging into the SFV beta. We are continuing to work on a fix. Thanks for your patience.

Many of you may be able to log into the training mode portion of the game now. We are still working to resolve the matchmaking issues.

Currently we are undergoing a lot of issues with users connecting to the Beta, and are working to try and address.

Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA as to when this will be fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are aware that users are having issues logging in, and are working to address the problem. We will provide updates as soon as possible.

We have brought the servers down for temporary fixes as of 7:25pm PST. We will make a few fixes and bring it back up ASAP.

As a result of the inaction, the beta has been extended – though we have no idea how long for. Street Fighter 5 is coming to PC and PS4 in March 2016, with cross-play between the platforms.

Yes. It is for sad little boys like me who cannot get a girl to have sex with him. Even if said sad little boy offers a fat wad of cash!

It wasn’t live yet for us last night apparently. Waited up, but couldn’t stay awake any longer. Hopefully it’s working by the weekend. Even training mode will be okay for now.

I too like a good fighter, but it has to be flyable, and have afterburners, and missiles!

Matchmaking? Something tells me the SP portion is dying slowly. Kinda like it did with MK X

July 24, 2015 at 09:07
There was a SP? I thought the SP section was just FIGHT THE ENTIRE ROOSTER, enter a 3 letter name and ROLL CREDITS!
