Capcom Officially Releases SFV Season 2 Patch Notes

You don't have to scramble anymore for details. The definitive patch notes are live.

When is Sagat making his appearance? I cant believe they left him out and then said because to many similar fighters. Then he shouldve been the only one...hes a SF iconic characters. Oh well maybe next time.

CorndogBurglar3101d ago

To be fair, they didn't say Sagat was left out because of too many similar fighters. They said he was too similar to Ken and Ryu. And as iconic as Sagat is, there is no way they would remove Ken or Ryu to put him in instead.

Now what baffles me is the inclusion of Akuma. If they used that excuse to not include Sagat, then how do they explain Akum, who is even more similar to Ken and Ryu than Sagat?

I can only guess they are waiting for more characters to be added, then Sagat will be added down the line when there is a bigger variety of character types. Then it won't matter so much if there are 4 fireball throwing, dragon punching characters.

When you release a final edition on disc for people who don't care for multiplayer tournament level competition then we'll talk.

PapaBop3103d ago

With the way they've worded things in past interviews.. I imagine at some point in 2017 they'll release an edition which will contain all of S2 changes alongside all the DLC up until the point of the release.

Street Fighter 5: Analysing a Tarnished Legacy

Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.

Terry_B537d ago

Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.

SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.

SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.

kevco33536d ago

I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.

SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.

Terry_B536d ago

Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.

So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.

Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.

SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.

Terry_B536d ago

Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.

Nerdmaster535d ago

It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.

EvertonFC536d ago

I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

CrimsonWing69536d ago

I dunno, I like Street Fighter 5 quite a bit. 🤷‍♂️
