r/StreetFighter user unknowingly finds early copy of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

It seems like Capcom put out copies of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition a little too early. Flagged up by Reddit user dick_dickerson2004 on r/StreetFighter, he managed to (unknowingly) get his hands on SFV: AE ahead of its January 16th release. After buying what looked to be vanilla Street Fighter V, dickerson was able to play through all of the new Arcade Edition content — straight off the disk.

After Reddit users — quite rightly — questioned the veracity of dickerson’s claims, he posted a video (under the new name junkington) showing him playing through Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, complete with a glimpse at an updated Training Mode. One of the new features in Training Mode is the ability to show when a character is at frame advantage, which will be very useful for testing block-strings.

Based on the fact that the game box that junkington bought had no special Arcade Edition artwork on it, one can assume that new retail versions of Street Fighter V come preloaded with Arcade Edition content on them. As long as you don’t connect to PlayStation Network — and presumably download a patch which locks off the Arcade Edition content until the 16th — you seem to be able to play SFV: AE ahead of its general release.

It’s unknown at this time if this phenomenon is unique to a single store or if it is widespread, so exercise caution when buying up new copies of Street Fighter V — just to check if Arcade Edition is already loaded onto the disk.

God of all Saiyans: watch the character trailer for Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta in Dragon Ball FighterZ

What’s more proud than a Saiyan Prince? A blue-haired Super Saiyan prince who’s harnessed the power of a god.  Demonstrating to us mere humans what that kind of power looks like, Bandai Namco drops the character trailer for for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (or Super Saiyan Blue) Vegeta in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

More than just an aesthetic color variation, the Super Saiyan Blue version of Vegeta gives him a unique set of of hard-hitting attacks, which is to be expected. From the Galick Gun replacing Big Bang Attack as his Level 1 super, getting a jumping command grab and a general speed increase, SSB Vegeta is perfect for players who enjoy going on the attack.

Check out the character trailer below, and also have a look-see at Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue trailer as well.
