You’re probably sick of hearing it, but Street Fighter V is launching in less than a week. If you’ve considered grabbing it on PC but have yet to preorder, you can currently pick up the latest entry in Capcom’s flagship fighting series for less than $50 courtesy of Green Man Gaming.

Entering the voucher code 20PERC-WTHGMG-201627 will net you a 20% discount on Street Fighter V. This brings the price of the regular edition down to $48 and the deluxe edition down to $72.

The same discount code can also be used on the season pass, which grants access to six post-release characters and their exclusive costumes, for only $24.

Street Fighter V launches on PC and PlayStation 4 on February 16. Take note that, while there are no more beta phases coming, a purchase now will still include other preorder bonuses, like Chun-Li’s battle costume.

Bonchan, Tokido Invited to Red Bull Kumite 2016

Red Bull recently announced that Masato “Bonchan” Takahashi and Mad Catz’ Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi are the next two competitors to join their Kumite event later this year. Both players were present during the inaugural event, taking first and second respectively, so it should be exciting to see if they can repeat that previous success.

These accomplished competitors will join Twitch’s Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang, Evil Geniuses’ Justin Wong and Yusuke Momochi, r/Kappa’s Lee “Poongko” Chung-gon, Razer’s Kun Xian Ho and Lee “Infiltration” Seon-woo, Alioune Camara, Ryota “Kazunoko” Inoue, Keoma Moutsatsos Pacheco, and Red Bull’s own Darryl “Snake Eyez” Lewis, in Paris, France to compete in Street Fighter V, which will then be only two months removed from its initial release.

Red Bull Kumite 2016 is set for April 23-24. More details can be found here.
