Post here when you get a INJ2 Beta Code!

[Thefish]

I have my code and have been playing the beta for like 4 days right, my friend plays it a little less than me by like a day, he didt know what to against atrocitus now, until i showed him and he has a month to learn, so he didnt know 1 match up with less than a week into the beta imagine people who havent played the beta and bbuy the game, they will get absoletly bodied, no question. The whole aspect of the hollywood thing is remeber with mkx, when people who played the game early and won like a million majors in row until about a year after everyone had to catch up, everyone who has been playing the beta since day 1 has an incredible advantage.

I don't disagree the advantage is definitely there.
The fact that this has happened before it should not come as a surprise to people it's happening again. Nothing said here is going to change anything. This kind of favouritism, and Hollywood shit happens everywhere in all companies. Money talks.

You're comment was on the other side of the battlefield, enemies of #TeamNoCode, but with that Dr. Fate avatar I couldn't argue with you lol.

With no Raven there's a 99.9% chance I'm going Dr. Fate from launch to close so we'll be on the same team.

I see, I shall see you in the fate threads my friend!

This is how it should of went down.

Someone from NRS should of made a thread on THIS site stating if you want a code please post here, or DM that particular NRS employee.

Everyone on this website contributes to making NRS games better, but yet TONS of people on this site do not have one. It really frustrates me seeing people that only downloaded it because they got a code and to never play it again.

If I get one, I get one. I went from checking my e-mail every 5 mins to maybe checking it once a day now. The hype is dead.

I heard Claptrap is in charge of divvying out codes, so you're boned.

I see, I shall see you in the fate threads my friend!

Any mentions of Fate get read in a reverberating old man voice.

Well, at this point, I've pretty much given up hope of receiving a code. Between the people who have registered for codes on 20-something emails, the hollywood players who cry and receive a code, and so on and so forth, it's so anti-climactic since the game is less than 4 months away and everyone with a code is so far ahead, I think that if/when I receive a code, I'm gonna just sell it and donate the money to charity.

What charity are you thinking?

Hey Everyone! I was able to semi-convince another writer for my site who hadn't used his code to give it to someone who would want it more. He told me he would give it up but only if I did one of those Facebook "Like and Share" things.

I wish I could do more, but I guess it's better than nothing. Winner will be messaged on 1/31/17 at 5pm.

Done! Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.

If I win, and end up getting the mythical Wave 3 email later, I'll do a giveaway on here.

I am not sure if the advantage is that great. Only four characters on what will be their biggest roster yet and a little bit of the gear/special moves, all of which will be rebalanced after the beta.

In my opinion, the advantage will be on the side of anyone who played or still plays the first Injustice. If MK games are the only titles you played from NRS, expect to get bodied. If you guys do not have a code like me, touch up on your Injustice skills in the mean time. The mechanics are not so different that playing the first looks like it would be good practice going into part 2.

With this said, yeah...it sucks to be the unfortunate majority who did not get a code. But there are still options for those who have aspirations of playing professionally.

I like to just play for competitive fun. So being left out of the beta does not mentally wound me as much as the guy watching his future competition get a leg up on them, so the anger I see here is justified if you look at it from that point of view. But wallowing in misery will not help either.

No code??? It hurts...

There's no practice mode, so most people are learning what to do by keeping track of videos and streams, and asking questions.

This isn't to say that it doesn't help to be able to play, but if you don't know, for example, that f223 ends in overheads, that's totally due to your own decision to not do any homework. Half the good players with the Beta are streaming and posting sets every day.

As usual after launch there will be players who don't know where the gaps are, don't backdash out of and armor through things, and get hit by gimmicks -- not because they don't have the game, but because they don't bother to check out all the information that's out there. So imo not having a clue how a MU works is still on everybody, regardless of whether they have a key or not.

Who gives a shit if it's random or not, who gives a shit if it's top players or not. Whoooo cares if there's thousands or a thousand people who get codes. Point is you get a "chance" to play it quite early before release. I took my time to read most of this thread and Jesus Christ. All I see is ABSOLUTE idiots pulling at straws looking for a reason to complain.
He complained so I will, I don't like the Hollywood aspect, it's the moral of what they said. I've supported NRS for 20 years, it's the casuals that make up there fan base, I should get a code. Holy f*** are some of you guys really really serious here? Anything NRS does it just isn't good enough. Grow up and wait like adults. You get one you do, you don't wait for the game like thousands upon thousands of us are...

I agree... But at least are you enjoying the beta?

This last paragraph. You're wise enough to know that's not how it works.

You can watch player vs player for 5 hours straight and read a bible on how to stop the pressure, but until you actually play and familiarize yourself with the characters/match ups you'll be off guard. For example, I'm a Tekken guru and new characters like Claudio have deadly but can be countered Blue set ups. I only played T7 for the month trial run in nyc. I've been watching the game for 2 years in Asia and still need to actually practice and play for a while before I'll be able to slow him down, and I know exactly move for move what to do with Bryan to stop him. I could write you a huge summary on the Claudio/Bryan MU, but that's not the same as playing it.

No amount of watching and reading can ever compare to hands on experience. The mind has to catch up to the body through play, and that's where the competitive advantage comes into discussions.

This was godlike. MK9 and INJ1 had this all day but MKX was way too "we all best friends and love each other" to get this type of hype.

Yeah, Dizzy's CB 2015 win is one of the most fraudulent things I've ever seen in competitive gaming and we act like it's cool because Dizzy is such a nice guy. Option selects, armor trapping, abusing one of the best characters in the game free. You could tell that he had a clear time advantage over everyone else.

I'm not even sure having the beta would help me much at this point. I never played Batman or Superman in INJ1 and I'd be lost just starting now with them or Supergirl/Atrocitus. People are already really good and with no practice mode, I'd just be getting mopped left and right.

It's an issue I'm sure I won't need to worry about anyway, because it would require me getting a beta code.

1. I find it really lame to have a 7 minute heated argument over video games with someone. I'm passionate about VGs, I love fighting games, I love getting better, etc. It's easily my #1 hobby and I have some many childhood memories of VGs. I do take them seriously, but there's this line you cross when it just becomes petty. At the end of the day games, even competitive fighting games, are meant to be fun.
   
2. It's pre-release for the game, we still have 4 months until it launches, and he is making such big claims. That's pretty goofy, especially since it's all talk and he is proving nothing.
   
3. It's Sonic freaking Fox, what is he thinking? You can't just say "I'm going to be better than you" to someone, especially to someone who is literally THE BEST at what they do. I can probably start an argument with one of the best (known) coders in the world saying "I'm going to be a better coder than you are!" but that probably won't ever be true, and it's just a stupid thing to say.
4. ^ All of that gets worse when you consider the fact that CD -- apparently -- scouted SonicFox back in Injustice.

I really don't find this "hype". I find it stupid. Way to early, to big of a bold claim, all talk no fighting, and it's messed up thing to say to someone that you pushed saying he was going to be a prodigy. It just makes him look like he supported Sonic, and now he's being a douche.

I can get calling out someone if you honestly think you are just as good if not better than them in a game that's already been out for months. But once more, all of this is just stupid.

I was lucky enough to get a code this weekend so just to let everyone know I signed up with 7 emails (crackhead status) I will be giving away any codes I receive. I'll keep everyone updated.

If you're completely lost on how to fight Atrocitus you definitely haven't been watching any streams or reading the forums. Yes, obviously you need to sharpen and commit these things to muscle memory -- but if you have no idea at all what to do, that's on you.

It's not like Atrocitus 'pressure' (especially right now, one week in) is rocket science.

Comparing knowing what to do against one of 2 new INJ2 characters to picking up Tekken 7 cold, which has a legacy curve of movement and meta going back near a decade, is extreme exaggeration.

The point is, do what you can do to learn how these characters work in the meantime, rather than just lounging around the forums blaming NRS for why you don't know f223 ends in overheads or don't expect the puddle cancels. Ask questions, analyze VOD. That way you'll at least be starting with a decent idea of what to do.

I think most people are already doing that though. There's only so much "Supergirl is +3 after low laser" and "punish Atrocitus puddle with B3" you can read until the actual experience gap keeps widening day by day from the visual gap. Why do you think guys like Tweedy and PL n dozen other top players made a huge deal about needing the code "ASAP"? For fun, or to keep up with the competition?

The more these guys get to play, even with minimal characters of a data-to-change beta, the larger the gap gets from any potential future threats until time catches up.

I'll give you that you can't compare it to picking up Tekken 7 though.

My luck is the fucking worst. The second wave is done, that mean I'm SOL I take it?

 

[ButtonMan]

In the same boat. Is there to be another code release? Guess we've to await game itself otherwise - although there have been public (offline) betas for the past two games.
