Fighting Games Weekly | Jul 6-12 | Freuds Among Us

Welp fuck. In Tekken 7 my first opponent is JimmyJTran aka Mr. Naps. Pretty much one of the best US players right off the bat.

The primary purpose of this beta is to test the online net code, as this is something that Capcom is taking very seriously with Street Fighter V. The data that we receive from this beta will help us to improve the net code in the final product, so we thank you in advance for participating in the beta.
God bless ComboFiend.

The reason for their delayed release is that in addition to testing out the net code, we’re also testing out our new content delivery system
Mmm, DLC incoming.

Once they select their character, players will be placed into training mode while an opponent is found.
I wonder: if we turn off our internet, will we stay in training mode?

Users who pre-order digitally through PSN will not need to redeem a Beta key, but will need to manually download the Street Fighter V Beta client from the PSN store starting on 7/20 (Pacific time).
If retailer keys scare you, do a digital pre-order, it seems.
 
I'd prefer if they could just make versions of the stages without background characters or random interactable elements. Like a counterpart to Omega mode in Sm4sh.

And somehow it looks even more unappealing than in 4! It looks like they'll get a headache in that low lighting.
 
I'm not saying everyone would be pissed, but I'm sure you can agree that there would be an equivalent degree of rage.

Especially if it resulted in two Smash games on Sunday. ;-)

You're giving way too much credit. There was already rage about Street Fighter 4 not having two streams for top 32. Imagine if SF4 was treated like all the other games on the roster, and only top 8 was put on the main stage.
 
those sheep see something they like.

Should I switch from amazon since they say the keys will be out 2 days within the beta date or risk it

Haha, indeed.

Though I can understand that there is a kind of special circumstance here. I think that games with a great international presence deserve more stream time, because the fights that are happening there are far more rare than anything else. That is, we can see JWong vs. FChamp any time in Marvel; sure, it's always a big deal when they play, and as a Marvel fan, I would love to see the match, but a JP player vs. a US player is a bigger deal just because of the rarity of the occasion. As such, I am actually fine with more stream time for games with more international players, like SFIV and Xrd, and less for games with less international players, like Smash. Just my two cents.

Someone who is not me should do the chore of talking to Amazon customer service. :-P
 
I think I'll preorder from PSN. Of all games, I imagine SF5 will be one that I'll want to just have ready to play without having to bother with a disc.
 
They should've brought back the SFxT training stage. I actually really thought that one was cool. Also, no local play for the beta is weak but I guess it is what it is.
 
On the plus side, I have a Saturday pool so I can actually get some practice on Friday.

I doubt it. There's gonna be a limited amount of setups. I don't think they'll spare any for casuals since there will be a tournament running from 8 AM.
