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.
Combo Breaker may be the only tournament I go to this year for Injustice, I'm not missing it because of a beta. I'm gonna be in trouble because I don't adapt quickly enough or learn enough, not because of a beta. My point isn't to go "woe is me and anyone that doesn't get a code", it's to argue against people saying there's no advantage when there is. Even if it's 2 out of 100 there's an advantage, this can't be argued.
I stream and upload footage. At my height I was putting out over 10 hours a week of Injustice gameplay. I have over a million views on just Injustice footage. This means nothing to me. I didn't get into MKX until the final wave and I know some that never got in. There's no guarantee that you make it.
Because there is an actual wave that went out and people got in. But there was also either reserved codes or newly generated ones for certain players and people. I know a few people in Michigan that got in, one that didn't even sign up and had someone sign up for him and they got an email.
Forums are always gonna go off topic, it's the nature of a collective and passionate group coming together to discuss something. Bitching will always happen, complaining will always happen, and things will always be blown out of proportion.
People are so hung up on combos and tech, there's so much more that goes into it. Who do you main? I bet I could pick up that character, in 2 weeks have the combos and tech down, mirror match you and get wrecked. Why did I get wrecked? Because you have more comfort with the character than me. You know how to act and when, you know what to do in a weird situation, you know more options than me. Combos are the reward, not the meat.
KI had 150 people that had donated a collective over 7,000, you're not gonna match that with a drive. NRS players do care about their game, how can you say that they don't? But we also have one of our games at EVO already, it's putting money towards getting two instead of one which isn't necessary, it'd just be nice. Our games and community will still get exposure and we'll still get to see high level gameplay.
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.
Tech is more likely to change than combos but it doesn't change the basis of your argument with is still ridiculous. Again, not calling you out or anything but dirty stuff will always be found early, how you act and react with the character is something that only experience can give you and that can't be picked up through a stream.
