Can't believe i actually got a code......OMGWTF!!!!!

 

[airjoca]

Daily maintenance from 11pm-1am? Those are most likely the only hours I can really sit down and play this and then I have a business trip from I have to go on beginning of next week.... Great.

That's 7am to 9am here, exactly when I was planning to play before work.

 

[AmethystEnd]

People asking for codes, are you guys out of the country, or can we not get codes for preordering on amazon or gamestop anymore? I was hoping to go preorder today to get a code.

I literally preordered 2 hours ago and got a code instantly (US). Was on the fence because I don't have a ps4 stick and wasn't sure if I wanted to play on pad for the beta.

Europeans technically can't pre-order to get a code, but you can still abuse Amazon. Don't know why people don#t just do that.

 

[fritzo]

if i pre-order on Amazon today? will I get a code today?

 

[Rice-Eater]

I have to hook up my shitty HD PVR to record, nooooooooo.

I'm thinking about using a even more ghetto solution. Which is recording with my smartphone

 

[BossDarkseid]

UK person here. Ordered on Amazon.com (with a us address) and got the code in email within 5 minutes.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Been looking into buying a Hori Fighting Commander 4. Is there really no other option other than buying from Japan or US? (European here).

[mr.rager]

Have they mentioned anything about support for PS3 sticks in the future or when the game comes out? I really don't want to buy a new stick.

Dunnow what for, since the tech is right out there.

They are looking into it for the final game. No guarantee.

 

[Anilusion]

Do I need PS+ on my US account or can I play from my EU account? If I do need US PS+, is there any way to active the 14 day trial without a US credit card?

 

[Korosenai]

Preorder the game on amazon, get the code, enter it on psn, cancel your preorder. Done.

 

[EndlessSky]

I just did this right now. Got the code instantly as well.

I'm out of the US. Don't know if they will accept my CC. Will try this later though.

Thanks for the tip!

 

[Orochinagis]

Did the preorder only got the confirmation but no code =c

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

So I put the beta code in now what?

 

[BossDarkseid]

So I put the beta code in now what?

Yeah. You can download the client etc now. about 3gb or so in total.

 

[Smo21]

You wait

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

You wait

Have to wait to download it? Oh :O

 

[Tizoc]

Go download the game from your download list so that when the beta starts in 6ish hours time you can start getting your ass kicked online

You can just play with your EU account.

Don't worry, you should get it soon. If you don't, you can always contact chat (assuming you're talking about amazon) and they'll give you the code. I got the code yesterday night by talking to Amazon CS over chat they gave me a code within seconds.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Pre-ordered through Gamestop, still no code

Not cool, anyone else have the issue?

 

[Smo21]

Have to wait to download it? Oh :O

My bad it should be in your my downloads section. You can download it now and then you have to wait for it to go live around 6pm PST

 

[ChosenPredator]

when is the actual beta the amount of replies happening makes me think its going on soon or people just wanting codes?

The information you seek is literally in the OP.

 

[fader]

I wish I had a ps4

 

[Deosier]

If it was in store, you might have to go in person to get it.

 

[MegamanXZero]

People always be wanting codes, but the beta is gonna start in around 4-5 hours

 

[Pachimari]

I'm gonna do some quick rounds with all of the characters, and then I expect to main Charlie Nash for this beta. I'm getting excited.

 

[Anilusion]

You can just play with your EU account.

Great. Do we know which characters are in this beta?

 

[MegamanXZero]

Yeah, they're shown in the OP.

Had to get mine from Japan. Definitely worth it if you want to play pad.

 

[mattp]

heads up i just ordered a hori fc4 off amazon (sold directly by amazon, too)

edit: woops, didn't see the european bit

 

[airjoca]

I've read a lot of positive feedback. I almost pulled the trigger last week but didn't because I knew it wouldn't be delivered on time for the beta.

I have this stick:

But I never really had the motivation and dedication so switch from Pad to Stick, so I need a PS4 pad.

 

[Kaako]

Lol im not getting my ass kicked

Oooh, confident are we? Just thank the gods my boi Dan is not in the beta.

 

[D1AMONDDOGS]

Thank god I got my stick modded for PS4 a few weeks back. Can't wait to play later tonight.

I haven't thrown a hadouken since the 90s, when my BnB was mashing Blanka's electricity until my friend stepped on me.

Where do I go to learn some basics for SF5?

 

[piccio_ssl]

You can just play with your EU account.

what? how?
the beta has a lock when i'm logged in my EU account

 

[Smooth Operator]

Just enable "Primary Account" on your US one.

Don't worry about it too much right now just play. It's beta you don't have any permanent win loss ratio ( not that you should care about it anyway play to get better). I suspect you will face a lot of people (90%) same skill level as you. Just play and learn from your mistake.

I pm'ed you my spare.

Yeah, planning on it. Have a feeling I'll pick up some bad habits, though.

Just stumbled on the Resources section in the OP. Gonna give that a watch before I jump in.
