Street Fighter V’s Skies of Honor Stage Banned from Capcom Cup 2016 and the 2017 Pro Tour Season

Earlier this month, we saw the arrival of a new stage to Street Fighter V. “Skies of Honor” sees Street Fighters battling it out atop Rashid’s private plane, piloted by Azam through the cityscape of Dubai. However, the new arena was reported to cause motion sickness in some players–due to the background being a moving cityscape, to simulate the look of a plane flying through the air in real time over the course of the battle.

Much like its fellow DLC stage, Kanzuki Beach, Capcom decreed last night via Twitter that it will be banned from competitive play, due to being deemed “too distracting for tournament play,” beginning at Capcom Cup and continuing throughout the entirety of the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour season. While this is unfortunate–as this downloadable locale boasts very unique visuals, as well as an awesome theme–players will still be able to enjoy battling upon Rashid’s plane casually with friends, as well as using it in the online realm. You can see the tweet from Capcom Fighters below.

Conan Exiles – 5 Things We Expect from Conan Exiles Early Access

There are still some questions about how the Hyborian Age will fit into the survival game genre.
