I dont think this build will be the same as release but it will be similar and the general playstyle of the character will most likely remain the same.
The core game is the core game. At most they may tweak the system a little bit and buff/nerf characters. It's still a significant advantage considering a major tournament will take place 10 days after release.
These are great points and undeniable imo. It's exactly what certain people would have said if they didn't have the power to complain and instantly receive a code. But now they're all smiles streaming instead of making these exact comments. Whether we want to admit it or not, we all know it's true.

Also, say what you want about Tweedy, but dude has been fully supporting MKX more than 99% of people here, so I find it even more foul that a guy like him who goes all out defending MKX and plays in any tourney offline and online that he can doesn't get a code. But Hollywood peeps who trash the game nonstop and/or barely even play it and hate it gets one. If I was someone like Tweedy I would definitely feel a type of way no doubt.

Not true at all in my case.

I'll probably catch Ls to people because of this, who i'll absolutely bury a month or two after release, like I do on MKX. You can hold me to this if you want.

It's unfair that people who are tournament legal get the game before others. When you don't plan on competing and placing, it's easy to say that people like me are just being babies.

Also, no one has a tin foil hat. I've literally seen people complain and then instantly get a code. If you go on Scar's twitter, he was tweeting about streaming the game before the first wave was even sent out. He started streaming the minute that the stream ended. That's not completely random lol.

All of the people who understand where i'm coming from, have codes, excluding Raptor, Iluusions and Sylverrye. Reverse my role with Scar, Dragon, Sonic, etc, you'd see them saying the same shit, ESPECIALLY with the Combo Breaker date.

It just so happens that out of the strong players left without codes, i'm the only loud one. Raptor's not gonna go on TYM and twitter and bitch about anything, that's not his personality. That doesn't mean that i'm wrong, and that others wouldn't do the same thing in our spot.
It's literally been less than 2 days (w/ no practice mode).

So many whiny complainers in here,

a month long beta aint giving anyone an "advantage" when it comes to a tourny post launch. Any tech or anything from this build of the game probably won't be in the final build. This is a beta to test the online. Who knows how old this build of the game even is.

And guess what guys, all those top players were still gonna mop your ass in pools, doesn't matter if they get a beta code 2 to 3 days before you, or get a copy of the game 4 days before you do (which will happen, people still get early copys of games)

If you are that worried about a player having an advantage, don't go to a tournament for a game held 7 to 11 days after launch unless you plan to take those days off strictly to grind.

Stop complaining so much guys,

you might say it's unfair someone gets to play before you, just be happy you get to play the game at all before May, watch some streams and learn some stuff while you wait, be happy for someone else that did get a code.

Bottom line, get a hold of yourselves, it's a bad look.

Anyone that plays the beta has pre-existing knowledge of the game that people who didn't and are going to Combo Breaker, which is 11 days after its release, won't. Sure, frame data will change, but BnBs will largely remain the same and the one thing that is highly underrated they will get a lot of which is character experience and comfort. I can pick up the controller right now, do every Hellfire BnB presented to me after a bit of practice, and some knowledge of what I should do in certain situations. Put me in a real match and I will fall apart as my neutral, situational/improvised combos, and reactions with the character will all be weak because I haven't played him a lot. People playing right now will have a month of comfort with 4 characters, one that has has a strong (allegedly) and unfamiliar toolset in Supergirl, as well as a feel for the new mechanics that others will have 11 days to match. The Injustice demo had things carry over into the launch game, who's to say this won't be a similar situation? It is absolutely an advantage.


Now, of course these players are top players for a reason but that doesn't excuse that many have an opportunity that others don't right now. It's disheartening when I know a person that signed up with 50 emails, no joke, 50, and didn't receive a single code but someone can go on Twitter and rant and get a code.


That's just it, people MAY NOT get to play the game. There are some that NEVER got an MKXL beta code, who's to say they'll get one this time around. You are downplaying a very shitty situation as "well they'd probably win anyway and it's an old build so who cares" and "you'll still get to play early so who cares". It's fucked up no matter how you slice it.

you can get a feel for the mechanics and characters, most combos work for superman and bats that did in inj1, and you can lab with your friends.
I'm not saying it's useless, but claiming people have a massive tournament advantage after 1.5 days is just silly.

as much as i think its lame as shit that we didnt get more codes today for the rest of us etc.. and im salty i dont have one either, you're overreacting. I'm sure you'll get a code within the week lol. it's not doing anything to fuck you for combo breaker you'll be fine dude. its just a beta, if anything ppl are figuring out stuff for you to hop in and not have to waste all that time in the lab they did to learn the basics of a combo and some tech etc . you can just build from where they left off, when you get on!

Think about it, Sonicfox,scar, dragon, and more can potentially have the game 1 month longer than you, know the mechanics,some possible tech, the way characters work and feel, bnbs, and more. Than you get the game and maybe you pick up characters that are knew, you know nothing and they know so much, now this would be more fair if it was random, but it clearly isnt for the most part.

REO and Slayer were practicing for so many hours together that my iPad died. Who knows how long until perfectly capable competitors who aren't Hollywood get one. 2 days can turn into 2 weeks or a month of familiarity before Combo Breaker.

I would bet anyone $100 cash that Tweedy would mop half of the nwo by CEO. $100 cash to anyone's $20 that he'd body guys like Brady level. If he doesn't get a code however, I wouldn't make that bet for Combo Breaker.

That's the definition of advantage.

Its basically like if you got the game like a few months in advance, just lab,lab,lab now this wouldnt be an issue if it was random but when 99 percent of all the top or well known players and streamers get the beta theres a problem.

I'd be afraid to be a no name and have a code. The hate stick would be so hard. That's Why I stay silent.

Either way the moment you give a player a code because of complaints within it leading into another 'wave' immediately after is bad for business and leaves a bad taste in casuals mouths. They make the game what it is. Not this site, not the tournaments. That's entertainement aka esports.

The no names I've been fighting on injustice the past math are proof of that. You all have to understand that NRS had to get as much tech and shit out of this beta as quick as possible. Messed up way to do it if true but think about it.

Sonic, Scar, Reo, BurgerKing, Slayer, Pig, Wonder chef, semiji, hayatai, Brady, mike, CDjr, Trepound, Jaeroar, UncagedGaming, Foxy, Ketchup, etc. It's understandable to get it out in the open and broken down.

Look at the combos they are doing today compared to yesterday. Supergirl is insane. Arrow is insane with The Staar. So far I see them as top 1 and 2 in the beta.

Only till Batman gets broken cause bat setups are looking weird

Tweedy is right, more unfair privilege given to more known players. theyre getting more valuable time with the game than most of the rest of us. even if shit changes at release the inputs of moves wont, the neutral wont. and they'll have familiarity doing shit a lot us of never have before. its wack and im gonna smash every top player in this game (except sonicfox lol)

So your argument is "they're doing all the hard work for you so you can get the truly good stuff and build on it". Sorry, but that's nonsensical. Combos mean nothing over knowing what to do in neutral. Look at the fatal 8 tournament for MKX and TonyT. He's a combo/tech monster and he get demolished by people that figured aspects of the game out over finding the optimal combos.

This is the same old same old before any NRS game comes out. "advantage, blah blah" It's like I said, if your gonna feel that in trouble don't spend money to go to a tourny 11 days after a launch unless you have some serious grind time.

Just gets annoying to see, I can see why NRS gives it to the "Known" players, it's because they know people will watch their streams, so they get more exposure right as the Beta launches. It's good PR and a great way for tons of people to see their game. I didn't know anyone who wanted an MKx beta code that didn't get one.

I know of a couple people not hollywood, who didn't bitch, and got a code first wave, so who knows how and who they pic and why. My guess is known players, and then a specific area of NA, and rolling out other areas after that.

I guess I came back to TYM hoping to see a little better, but it's all the same stuff as before. Same people bitching about the same things before a game comes out. and new people bitching just cause. This could have been a good thread for people that did get a code to match up and try get games, but it turned into a bitch fest.

If NRS players really cared about their games they would be organizing donation streams and pushing to get MKX at Evo, but instead, it's all bitching about Beta codes,

PS, there is nothing stopping anyone from watching one of the streams and learning the same stuff they are learning. If you can't get comfortable with execution enough to do and learn what they are doing, then you probably aren't ready for tournys.

not just combos wtf.. i said tech too, literally REO has been streaming the game and labbing it for everyone and showing ppl. You all are acting like they are hiding and doing OD shit without you.. not to mention @Dizzy has ben posting on Twitter, about gaps and punishing counters to things they think they found. Everyone should calm down, it's a fuckin BETA and the a few of the MAIN high lvl ppl yall are so worried about are streaming it all in the open for you to watch and get tech as they find stuff for you while you don't have the game atm.

There just shouldn't be tournaments that early after the game releases, that's it.

Yeah, because theese are tests for the few chosen ones in Boons secret basement. Fucking lol @ some of you people.
Its not the "few chosen one" its the mentality yes most casuals and other players got the beta at random, but all the top players basically got a guaranteed code.
