X-Kira claims costumes, stages and working mode
Dataminer X-Kira, who has a mixed rep for digging up future updates forStreet Fighter V,has claimed that an Arcade Mode, along with a few costume and stage slots, can be discovered buried within the latest build of the game.
Their findings include new costume slots opened for Bison, Ibuki, Guile and Karin, as well as two new stages and whatsounds likean Abigail-themed bonus round. The most intriguing find is a full arcade mode for the game, which also appears complete and good to go. Just a year and a half after the game’s release.
Whilst this shouldobviouslyALL be taken as rumour, X-Kira has successfully minedSFVfeatures before. They are also claiming that they are able to get the arcade mode up and running, as all the data is complete, and are expected to upload a video of the feature soon. We’ll see.
Regardless, I doubt adding an arcade mode eighteen months late will set the game’s sales alight. It all just feels a little redundant at this point.IfCapcom have some magicalSSFVre-release in the bag (which in itself is starting to just seem like fans’ wishful thinking) then it’s time to cut their losses and pull it out.
