Street Fighter 5: Capcom kündigt Beta zum neuen Fighter Network an.

Die Mannen von Capcom haben schon seit längerem ein großes Update zu Street Fighter 5 in Entwicklung. Das sollte eigentlich schon veröffentlicht wurden sein. Da mit dem Update nun aber auch der große neue Netcode veröffentlicht werden soll, möchte Capcom auf Nummer sicher gehen und vorab Betatests durchführen.

Diese sollen vom 11 bis 14 Mai 2017 stattfinden. Der Zugang soll auf PS4 und PC verfügbar gemacht werden. Man wird auch an der Beta teilnehmen können ohne Street Fighter 5 besitzen zu müssen. In der Beta soll auch der nächste DLC Charakter bereitgestellt werden.

Folgende Änderungen wird es geben:

Rage Quit Penalty System

Back in December, we implemented an update to the Rage Quit System which displayed a special Player Profile Icon for the worst offenders and the most honorable players. These icons are working correctly now and matchmaking logic now takes into account your online behavior and frequent disconnectors will be matched with similar opponents.

Ranked and Casual Match Loading Times

We understand many players were not happy with the load times when entering online matches. There will now be a shorter transition when going into a Ranked or Casual Match.

Battle Lounge Country Flags

Country flags should now properly load in Battle Lounges, allowing players to locate competition in their region.

Matchmaking Improvements

It should now take less time to find an opponent in online matches. We’ve also added logic which avoids frequently being matched with the same opponent repeatedly.

Fighter Profile Stats

More detailed stats will be tracked and presented on your Fighter Profile.

Country / League Based Rankings

Players will now be able to filter leaderboards based on Country or League.

Friend Management System

In addition to adding a player to your Favorites, you can now add Friends and follow them on CFN. You can now also Blacklist players.

Interactive Timeline

On the CFN home menu, a live feed of your Friends’ activities is presented on an interactive Timeline. Using the Timeline, you can immediately add a recent match to your Replay List, view a Fighter Profile, manage your Friends, and adjust Timeline display settings.

In-Game Announcer Voice

The in-game announcer will give you stats on both you and your opponent using data pulled from the server.
