Not thinking I would care much for the clawed warrior, I saved Vega for last. To my surprise, I think he’s a great character and one I actually really want to play. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I only got this set of matches captured on video and they’re not the greatest. Still, more Vega match footage for your reference!

Street Fighter V Beta Laura Matches Part 2
Street Fighter V Beta Ken Impressions
To the surprise of no one, Ryu’s fiery rival returns in Street Fighter V. What people didn’t expect was the transformation he’s made in the process. Sporting a different look and possessing many different properties in his move set, the separation between the two shotos is clearer than ever. Ken’s moves are certainly flashier than Ryu’s, but the choice to use one over the other is more complicated than that.

Street Fighter V Beta Necalli Matches Part 1
Whether he’s stomping on your feet or throwing you across the screen by your head, everything Necalli does is fierce. So fierce, he’d scare Tyra Banks. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Stubby normals aside, he’s a lot of fun to play as!
Street Fighter V Beta Rashid Matches Part 2
Street Fighter V Beta R. Mika Matches Part 1
Generally considered to be a weak character in Street Fighter Alpha 3, R. Mika appears to pack quite the punch in Street Fighter V. Though I definitely don’t do the character justice, I hope that her potential shines through in this video and the others to come!
Street Fighter V Beta Karin Matches Part 1
Karin is one of the most complex characters in Street Fighter V. All of her special moves have branching paths, allowing her to open up her opponent, even if they block the first hit. I didn’t get enough time to fully grasp her play style, nor did I get enough to finish a combo video, but I did get some matches in. In this first set, I got particularly lucky with mashing out her V-Trigger move and Critical Art.
Street Fighter V Beta Laura Combo Video
Recently, Capcom put the beta back up for a small stress test. This new build featured the debut of Laura. Though her combo potential is surprisingly limited, I ended up really enjoying her. Many match videos to come, but for now, enjoy this combo video!
Street Fighter V Beta Ken Matches Part 1
Ken Masters enters Street Fighter V in a dramatically different state. While he still of the same general archetype as Ryu, he’s been tuned in a way that makes him a much more aggressive-minded fighter than ever. Tune in to watch me come to grips with Ken’s new tools!
Street Fighter V Beta Tutorial/Story Mode
Version 1.05 of the Street Fighter V Beta adds a tutorial mode to its package. It covers the basics, from how to move and jump, up until how to use your V-Trigger. Since none of this was present in Street Fighter IV, this is a good sign.
More interesting are the story ramifications on display. The cutscenes take place very early in the Street Fighter story, as Ryu and Ken are being taught by Gouken while Ken is sporting his Street Fighter Alpha ponytail. They even fight each other in their classic costumes, which could be a sign of what’s to come in terms of DLC costumes.
