Easy.

Thank you for the code!

 

[Lothars]

Did anyone ordering from Amazon Canada got their beta keys?

Yup I had to contact them but they got me a code.

 

[j.rob]

Your code gets you all three betas.

All over my face pleasssseeeeeee.

 

[Kureizu]

I signed for the EU beta the first day it became available. Did not get in.

Can't fucking believe it.

 

[Captainbob]

Europe here, subscribed to beta on psn some weeks ago and I've just received my code!

 

[dabeasty]

Thank you for the code!

your welcome man

 

[kurahadol]

There's no pre-load / download after putting in the code correct? I'm guessing it becomes available to download at 6pm?

That's why a lot of people in EU pre-ordered on Amazon.com.

There is a preload you can do after putting in the code.

 

[Edzi]

Q: Can I stream the beta?
A: You can steam using external equipment, as Share functionality is disabled within the client.

Aw, lame. Is this actually confirmed, or are we just assuming it'll be the case since sharing currently turns off when you try to enter the beta client?

 

[kurahadol]

Hm, mines not showing up. I put the code in on the website, should that matter?
Edit: Nevermind, just had to relogin, we're all good!

You can download immediately.

 

[bltn]

So, when will the beta be live in EU?

 

[Captain Smirk]

Your code gets you all three betas.

 

[SgtCobra]

Nice, I got in. Gonna try it out tonight.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

You need ps+ or no?

 

[Ryce]

Customer service rep 1 (July 20) - “I don’t know what a ‘betta’ is, I’ll have someone else call you tonight” (nobody ever contacted me)
Rep 2 (July 21) - “the code will be emailed by tonight” (“tonight” was two days ago, and it never showed up)
Rep 3 (July 22) - the person said they were going to transfer me to another department and then disconnected

What the fuck, Amazon.

 

[dmr87]

So, when will the beta be live in EU?

2 AM in the UK, then you can do the math.

 

[Raitaro]

So, when will the beta be live in EU? Can't get in.

If I'm not mistaken, it's tomorrow at 3 pm? Not sure if that's UK or EU time though.

I actually managed to get a code as well - which I will interpret as a nice wedding present on my actual wedding day

(Though the downside is that I'll only be able to play tomorrow really, as I'm going on honeymoon/holiday on Sunday...)

Edit: beaten by ^^^

 

[gfdoom]

You need ps+ or no?

yes, you need a ps+ subscription in order to play the beta. The only playable option is to play online. They're using this beta to test their online infrastructure.

 

[Stuart444]

So, when will the beta be live in EU?

2am BST/GMT+1, 1am GMT, 3am CEST.

Anything besides that, I'm sure you can do the math

Read the OP.

 

[enzo_gt]

Guys, please check OP before asking questions. A lot of recurring questions that are answered already.

I'm continually updating it to be as clear/useful as possible. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

 

[outsidah]

Anyone have a trial PS Plus Code to spare?

 

[DMTripper]

I'm in (UK)

haven't really played SF since the arcade days but I was looking to get back into fighting games.

 

[badgerfan20945]

Well damn. Didn't know this.

Yeah, from those who played Nash at e3, they said it's a really good normal and one of his best pokes.

 

[biteren]

6pm PST?

Read the OP.

sorry bout that, just wanted a 2nd opinion.

 

[Greenymac]

Ordered my first fightstick (TE2) and its on FedEx truck for delivery. The lady is at the house waiting for it. Ready to jump into this beta and start learning how to use a fightstick properly... My big hands should be more at home playing on a fightstick rather than a pad.

Easy.

thanks for the heads up.

 

[NZerker12]

Wooo, got a code at 15:04 today, preloading beta as I speak. However I definitely will not be playing at 2am i'll probably be able to play during the day tomorrow.

Did you make this? Maybe we could get target combos too?

 

[Kaako]

BETA will be offline for schedule maintenance every day from 2-4AM EST time. But I like playing at them hours man. :/
Edit: Wish they would make it from 6AM-8AM EST.

It's going to take you longer than the beta to get used to it, but once you do, there's no going back.

6AM-8AM EST = 1-3 PM where i live, so no thanks

 

[yurinka]

Just asked the Amazon CS chat (with Simone), they told me that will send mails with the codes shortly after the beta starts today.

11pm-1am was the perfect time for me to play :/

Repeating this since I think you missed it:

Was the no streaming thing actually confirmed by Capcom or is it just an assumption because streaming is turned off by default when you start the client? I assumed it was the latter, and it feels too early to just assume that means no streaming period because they could just turn on the functionality once you connect to a server.

I looked at the PSBlog post with beta details and it didn't clarify this. No mention of sharing/streaming at all.

 

[NastyBook]

Do I want this on PC or PS4? I'm heavily leaning towards PC even though all my other fighters are on PS4. Think I am going to sit this beta out and join everyone in the next one. This tease will probably just make the wait that much harder anyway.

What?

 

[k4n3]

from peter combofiend

with all matches being completely random worldwide, something that will change upon final release.

be ready for 1 red bar matches

 

[The Demon Headmaster]

I have a spare code for anyone with a US PSN account who wants it. Ill give it to the first person who quotes this

 

[Piccoro]

Europe here.
Received my email at 14:00. I'm in!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

I'll take it, please.

 

[Kaako]

Agreed 100%. It took me at least a month just to get comfortable with the damn stick man. I initially bought it thinking hell yeah, this gonna improve my executions and I'll be a beast within couple of weeks...NOPE! lol
But there really is no going back now after playing stick. Gonna be tough in the Beta since I don't have a TE2 and don't plan on buying another $200 stick anytime soon.
