Street Fighter V Stress Test Planned for Friday Night

Just in time for the weekend, Capcom will be opening up the Street Fighter V beta for a short stress test tomorrow night (or tonight, if you live anywhere but the west coast).

Reports began flooding the internet earlier tonight as fans found their way back into the early build of this upcoming fighter, which may provide a hint as to what sort of content Capcom has in store for the network test. So far, it appears as if Laura will finally be playable outside of convention appearances, and the Capcom Fighters Network may have received a bit of an upgrade since last time.

According to Capcom, those receiving a title update error on PlayStation 4 need to delete and redownload the beta client to make sure they have the latest version. Doing so might even grant you access earlier than planned, so have fun if you happen to get in. There’s currently no indication that PC will be included in this test, but we should hear more soon.

A recent update provided players a quick glimpse of Street Fighter V’s story and training modes, footage of which you can find in our previous report.

FINALSHOWDOWN Dishes Out Some Serious Pain with Hayato in Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Even with all of the excitement going on in the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 scene–thanks in no small part to recent upsets at Canada Cup and Youmacon–sometimes it’s nice to take things back to the time before TACs, MorriDoom, and, you know, Vergil. Clayton “FINALSHOWDOWN” Chapman decided to do just that in a recent Marvel vs. Capcom 2 combo video dedicated to Hayato, which he notes was a long time in the making.

If you’ve seen Chapman’s work in the past, you know to expect to see some things that you’ve never seen before, and you’ll not be disappointed on that front. The combo video features no assists, just a man, his energy sword, and his meter, slashing down all who oppose him for some fantastically stylish damage output.
