Can you share any additional details on the second beta?

MD: It’s coming out this fall. That’s going to be the beta that has PlayStation 4 and PC. We don’t have specific dates locked down just yet, we’re really focused on closed beta one, but we’ll have more details to share soon. If you did pre-order and get beta access and download the client, you’re good to go for the rest of the campaign. The same client is used for all of the beta phases, so you only need to redeem one code and you’re set up for the entire event.

Keep an eye out for Ultra David and James Chen. David impressed me of late with his MKX knowledge that a lot of people don't seem to appreciate. Being street fighter you can probably bet on these guys doing something themselves, or working with another group. For Youtube stuff, Mike Ross and Gootecks on crosscountertv are all about street fighter 4. I'd be surprised if they don't start doing some videos for the beta, but that might not be showing up on their channel until after it's over. I find all these folk knowledgeable enough individuals to learn a thing or two from, and you can't go wrong with any of 'em. There's a bunch of others I'd love to suggest like LI Joe and Yipes, but I haven't seen them stream for a long time. Chances are if you have a favorite fighting game guy you've been following in tournaments and the like, there's a good chance he is streaming.

Joe's definitely gon be streaming. Sidebar, he put up his match with Ricky from EVO on youtube, fairly good match if you're a fan:

Supposedly Aris has apologized for his past actions. I've never watched his stream so I don't know how good or bad he is there but when he was paired with UD at Evo it was really good.

Be patient, I think. I grabbed a MadCatz PS4 TE2 last week and it has a couple of glaring usability issues (primarily the lack of a Touch Pad button) that I assume are gonna be fixed in the SFV line of sticks they do.

Yeah that sounds right to me. As lovely as this sounds, a lot of people have learned a lot about these issues in the past, like, five years. I think it's worth giving people a break for past behavior if they genuinely turn over a new leaf, and he seems to.

For all the trash talk and pop offs and competitiveness in the FGC, I find it's actually one of the better gaming communities in terms of this kinda stuff. Probably helps that it's so diverse and people have a lot of experience being from a marginalized segment.

A dude actually did a really good writeup after (one of) the Noel Brown incident(s) about how the FGC's takes far more heat from gaming journalists than regular e-sports for no good reason: http://pattheflip.tumblr.com/post/54414358578/why-im-pissed-off-about-this-noel-brown-poo poo

Is there a good PS4 one I can get for under a hundred? I'm interested in a stick, but I'm not about to start going to tourneys or anything, and I'm fairly comfortable on a pad already as well. Can't justify a $200 purchase at this point.

The PS4 pad hack isn't for the faint of heart, but here's a guide:

Can confirm. It's on the far edge of the stick.
It's a great stick. My only complaints are that the anti slip pads aren't spaced great for how I sit and I kind of want to open it up and stuff some metal blocks in it to make it heavier

The magazine is gone.

Since it's $30 for two years, $15 a year is a great price - and since you save $12 on a new title, there's a really quick payoff.

Except I still have no code...

I’m almost certain that online play will be completely non-functional this evening with servers and the untested netcode being hammered by thousands of players trying to log on and match-make at the same time. If that's not the case, I’ll be very pleasantly surprised.

I think the population will be relatively low, considering the game isn't coming out for possibly 9 months. The amount of preorders at this point can't be very high

I think there will be a lot of Europeans, as over there all they had to do to get a beta code was register for some kind of code raffle instead of pay actual money for the game.
