Street Fighter 5 online play back on its feet

Several new fighters are planned for this year, as well as a free Cinematic Story Expansion in June, with the first new character being Street Fighter III’s Alex in March.

In an interview with Eurogamer, a Capcom spokesperson said, “I can confirm that it is something we are going to be addressing to make the gameplay experience one that all fans can enjoy and be rewarded fairly for”.

Street Fighter V has been a success for Capcom, but they still have to fix some issues that have been spotted in the PC version of the game. The shop, from which you spend the in-game Fight Money on items such as alternative costumes and downloadable characters, doesn’t launch until March.

Angry Street Fighter V fans have already taken to social media and forums to voice their frustration at the buggy, incomplete feel of the launch, with Steam reviews also a major indicator of their disappointment. If you like Street Fighter, and have people to play with, it’s wonderful. Instead of it being Capcom’s fault it would be Sony’s, but the end results would still lead to being unable to play SFV online with your friends. Issues with the Battle Lounge have also been addressed. The team is still looking at this mode very closely and will continue to make improvements as we move into the weekend time frame.
