2 questions.
1. will the full game have an "extras" menu?
and 2, by extension. will the game have a visible way to keep track of which characters you've cleared story mode with and which ones you haven't? since story mode is locked there's no way to tell this in the beta... but it's feedback I want to give because the idea is important to me. you should put like a star or the word "clear" on the character select for story mode for characters you've cleared it with

Special is generally used for combos together with some other button, you can check the attack list from the .pdf in installation folder. Guard requires you to have at least half of Hyper gauge, and that's consumed in the process.

[Gironashi]

For some reason, I can't change the controls in the config menu. After I finish edditing the contols and select "accept", when I revisit the menu, everything's been set back to default. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Raytex]

I got one. I bought two copies and I certainly don't care about betas of a game I've barely played and would barely do, so I gave it away to the guy with hundreds of hours I bought it for in the first place.

Hope no biggie

[Person 404 the Lethargic]

A bit of minor feedback on the HUD, concerning the meter orbs:
It's nice that it now displays half orbs, but the colour coding is a bit off-putting to me since I'm used to the JP version. It would be nice to have the option for the colour code (New/Classic style?) to follow the older style, such that 1.5 orbs would be all blue and 2.5 would be all green.

P2 orbs filling towards the centre with half orbs still on the left is also a little jarring. It would be nicer from a presentation point of view to have P2's half orbs also fill from right-to-left.

[[FBI]DJTACO25]

I think options to go to fighter selection screen, title screen, main menu, and to change configuration from the pause menu would be great to add.

I've got something a bit weirder. The "accept" and "cancel" buttons don't seem to be separate from their in-game functions so rebinding certain buttons boots you back to the previous menu as if you hit the cancel button.

Honestly, I really want to 100% this game like the 1st one, so pls don't let the game be like super-duper-ultra-hard.
The game will change from challanging to annoying if that happened.

[nope]

Curious, what controllers are people using for this? Mostly kb I'd imagine, or others?

[Test-016]

suggestion : make prompt before leaving lobbies

[F IAaP n]

I think the default controls should be changed. Currently on my Xbox 360 controller (well, I know nowadays it's probably considered as an old one, but still) the special attack and hyper buttons located at X and Y buttons respectively – they should be somewhere on triggers.
The default keyboard layout is also bad, but, honestly, I have no idea how you could make it any comfortable.
