Work on your game while you wait for a ranked match:
We're a little more than two weeks from Street Fighter 5's launch (PlayStation 4 and Windows PC), and this latest trailer from Capcom familiarizes viewers with the game's modes of play and options within them.
Getting a lot of attention are the training mode shortcuts (1:37 of the video) have been standard to Arc System fighting games (BlazBlue, Guilty Gear). These will allow fighters to play and replay matches always beginning with a certain set of givens, to test strategies against various conditions they may face later. The difference is, on the PlayStation 4, the DualShock 4's touchpad streamlines the re-positioning process with a touch.
Other features include the means to wait on a ranked match while in practice or other modes of play. Street Fighter 5 launches on Feb. 16. Then, in June, it will update with a cinematic story mode, a first for the franchise.
