Street Fighter V Season 2 Patch Notes Corrected; Additional Patching Possible, Improvements to Online Play Promised

Capcom’s flagship fighter may see improvement in the next few months.

The Capcom-Unity blog has posted a list of corrections to the Street Fighter V Season 2 patch notes, and updated the full changelist. The fixes and omissions are as follows:

Changes not originally listed in the balance changelist:

  • Ibuki
    Bonshogeri – Knockback on Crush counter extended by 3F
  • Juri
    Crouching LP – Chain cancelling frames changed from 9F-10F ⇒ 10-11F
    Ryodansatsu – Air hitbox and total frames adjusted slightly
  • Birdie
    EX Bull Head – Changed recovery from 28F ⇒ 23F
  • Alex
    Power Drop – Changed attack startup from 5F ⇒ 6F

Changes that were incorrectly listed in the balance changelist:

  • Ken
    Incorrect: L Shoryuken (Normal/V-Trigger) – Removed throw invincibility
    Correct: L Shoryuken (Normal/V-Trigger) – Did not remove throw invincibility
  • Karin
    Incorrect: Standing MK – Slowed down timing of startup on V-Trigger cancel by 3F
    Correct: Standing MK – Slowed down timing of startup on V-Trigger cancel by 5F

Additionally, the blog entry states that Capcom is taking player feedback on the Season 2 changes into consideration for possible future adjustments–meaning we could still see some tweaking to the game before the Capcom Pro Tour 2017 season gets fully under way. Capcom also promises improvements to SFV’s online environment:

We’re also happy to announce that the team has been hard at work for several months to improve the network quality of CFN. We can’t share all of the details quite yet, but we are anticipating an update this Spring. We have more news to share on this in the coming months.

The Capcom Fighters Network improvements appear to be much-needed; complaints of the ongoing “0 LP” glitch, online lag, network instability, or an outright inability to login abound lately. The SFV servers were shut down for “emergency maintenance” for over four hours tonight, to address at least one of these issues:

Hopefully the network runs a little smoother now, and the promises of future fixes are indeed delivered on.
