Here’s All the Information You Need To Know for the Street Fighter V Beta
Via Capcom Unity, details have just revealed for the upcoming Street Fighter V beta for the PS4 and how you can sign-up.
The beta for Street Fighter V will be launching July 23rd. The first wave of the beta kicks off on July 23rd (18:00 PT), July 24th (03:00 CEST/10:00 JST)) for 5 days and is exclusive to PS4 users. The main purpose for this beta is to stress test the net code which is something Capcom are really focusing on with Street Fighter V.
In the beta Street Fighter fans will be able to use all 6 characters that have been revealed so far, with Birdie and Cammy becoming playable on Saturday, July 25th.
Here’s a breakdown of the beta itself and details as of what to expect. When players boot the game up and go past the start screen, they’ll be taken to the character select screen. Players should choose the character they would like to fight others with, as they will not be able to select a different character before heading into battle.
Once they select their character, players will be placed into training mode while an opponent is found. Upon finding an opponent, players will be transported back to the versus screen and will begin their match shortly thereafter. After the match is complete, players will then be brought back to the Grid where they will go back into queue for the next match.
Unfortunately there will be no local versus mode during this beta. Once again, the primary purpose of this beta is to test the online functionality.
After you fiddle around with some versus, you will notice that there are a few stages featured in the game. These stages are the Grid (training) Bustling Side Street (China), Terminal Station (London) and the newly announced Forgotten Waterfall. Below is an image at what the Forgotten Waterfall looks like.
Those looking to use their PS3 fight sticks during the beta will sadly have to wait until the final release of the game to do so. This function will not be enabled in the beta.
