Street Fighter V Servers Shutting Down Tuesday to Address Ibuki Air Throw Glitch

With Ibuki’s addition to Street Fighter V so close to Evo 2016, the viability of the character for competition at the tournament (along with Balrog, added at the same time) has been a controversial topic. Fears seemed to have been confirmed with the discovery of a glitch granting the nimble ninja six frames of invincibility upon landing after a whiffed air throw.

However, Capcom has announced through the SFV Server Twitter feed that we’ll be seeing a brief shutdown of the Street Fighter V servers on July 12 to deal with the potential exploit, along with some other V-Skill bugs.

Looks like anyone that might have been hoping to take advantage of this particular glitch will need to reconsider their strategy before diving into Evo’s SFV pools, starting on Friday, July 15.
