Hound sheds a tear...

Seriously though, Juri could work quite well with FSE as her V-Trigger and her teleport parry as her V-Skill.

Be surprised if Capcom don't return to Ingrid at some point.

If you happen to not get a code for the EU beta (I signed up with 7 different accounts so I'll be gutted if I don't get in), there's a loophole via amazon.com to ensure you definitely get a code, albeit for the US beta. Pre-ordering on Amazon doesn't cost anything until the game is shipped/released, so it wont take money from your card/bank account. Once you get your code and install the beta just cancel the preorder. You'll likely need a US PSN for this but that takes ~5 mins to setup. Worked fine for me.

Matchmaking will be vs US players but the training mode should work fine (given you can cancel fight reqs. in training stage). It's a crappy option but as a last resort if you don't get chosen for the EU one there's always this I guess.

Rob2D · 22-07-2015 7:49pm

Codes going out at 3pm tomorrow apparently.

Here's hoping.

Is there local multiplayer?

Azza · 22-07-2015 8:49pm

Nope.

Ramza · 22-07-2015 9:58pm

Got my beta code from Amazon and set up a US PSN account in about 10 minutes. Beta downloaded on pS4 on my US account as a backup incase I don't get into the EU one but here's to hoping

I Cancelled the order there with no issues. Seems they only take payment when the item is released/shipped, so there's a loophole you can abuse. Can also redeem a free 14 day PS PLus trial on the new US PSN account by adding a credit card and removing it straight after. Lets you keep the 14 days. FU Sony + Amazon

Placebo · 22-07-2015 10:55pm

Why FU Sony and Amazon? FU for being a greedy git and signing up 7 times and ruining everyone else's chances.

Cue everyone seeing the thread title then excitedly opening the thread to see the news of Sean being confirmed.

I use 'excited' very loosely.

correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Sean top tier in 2nd Impact?

blag · 23-07-2015 3:00pm

Got my beta code, from looking online it would seem basically anyone who applied is in. Can check here

PPC · 23-07-2015 3:10pm

I got a PR mail from Capcom saying:

Today, the lucky European fans who have obtained a place in the Street Fighter V beta, through signing up on the Street Fighter website, will be receiving their codes via email to their registered PSN accounts. These players will be amongst the first to try the latest title in the legendary fighting franchise when the beta goes live at 02:00 BST / 03:00 CET this Friday 24th July.

The online* beta will give players a chance to select a fighter and compete in versus matches with other players who are in the beta, allowing them to experience the latest features and developments in the game. The beta will begin with four immediately playable characters; Ryu, Chun Li, M. Bison and Nash, who stand poised and ready to fight. Birdie and Cammy will be added on Sunday 26th July, in order to test the new content delivery system. Players will fight against each other, resulting in either ultimate victory or crushing defeat.

The beta will be ending at around midnight on Wednesday 29th July across European territories so get those punches in quickly! The path to greatness begins here: RISE UP!

I look forward to having my ass handed to me lol

Yesp, it's a 1.4GB download. Best to get it DLed and installed in preparation for when it goes live

shane9fingers · 23-07-2015 9:17pm

Anyone get more than one beta code that they'd be able to give/sell/trade?

People on eBay are currently selling extra/spare codes, no idea how legit though.

I just bought a US code off EBay for €13, works fine as long as you redeem it on a US PSN account.

Servers are getting hammered at the moment though, nobody can get past the title screen.

You could have gotten it for free from Amazon and guaranteed to work by pre-ordering and cancelling after you get the code in e-mail (sent out automatically. ) They don't charge till release date. No need to pay for it.

In fact people doing that and selling them on is really bad practice.

Need a US credit card for Amazon.com, and if your shipping to an address outside the US, they wont email you the code.

Rob2D · 24-07-2015 3:02am

Oh well, looks like I set my alarm for nothing!

Back to sleep it is then :pac:

No to both. I used my debit card and it worked fine. Also got the code.

murphyebass · 24-07-2015 9:54am

Sounds like the servers were a disaster last night.

I watched a clip from happy console gamer a minute ago and it took him 3 hours to get on!

Not that it mattered to me as I wasn't getting up or staying up till 2/3am to play.

Problem now is I won't get on till the kids are in bed. Argh!!

Really looking forward to giving it a go.

Gonna have to bite the bullet on a fight stick before the proper release though.

My kingdom for a patch to let me use my yellow buttoned old school namco stick.

I used to work for Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com used to do this all the time before, so if they have stopped all of a sudden, good to know for future reference.

Yeah, it works a charm. I got mad unlucky and the code wasn't send to me automatically so i just hopped on the amazon help chatline and they were sound as a bell. Will need a US PSN to redeem and play but that takes 5 mins. Better than nothing I spose if you didn't get an eu code

As disappointed as I am, its better this happened to a beta then the full game. It wouldn't kill them to let us play it in practice mode for the mean time though :pac:

Misty Chaos · 24-07-2015 7:50pm

As disappointed as I am that this happened, I also appreciate the fact that it is a beta after all, a free beta at that. As mentioned, it's good this has happened now rather than at the real launch.

Bit disgusting that people have thrown it back at Capcom's face.

There are plenty of other games to play in the meantime and we'll eventually get access to the beta.
