After the disaster of the original Street Fighter V beta test, where the servers just could not handle the demand leading to Capcom taking it offline, it appears the test has been reactivated. There is a 1.2GB patch to download before you can get on to the game, and even when you do you may have to try to log in a couple of times before connecting to the game. It took me three tries before I could get to the character select screen and test out the training mode.
We are currently running an internal stress test on the SFV servers.

At the moment a message is popping up within the beta that Capcom are carrying out a server stress test before fully committing, which may explain why I didn’t face a single player controlled opponent. The training mode though is working and I decided to try out Nash against Chun Li. The game does look and plays pretty smoothly in this mode, though the real challenge will come against others online. You had to have registered and received an invite to participate in this beta.
The beta may go back down though as this is not the official relaunch of the public test, with more information coming up on that soon.
Source: I just checked on my PS4. No screens because it is a blocked app.

I was able to login just now and have one network fight someone in America. Not had another one since, and it had a couple of lag issues but worked pretty well in general!

I just started a fight and had it disconnect half way through. Can’t log back in now.
