Street V Launch Will NOT Support Lobbies and Spectator Modes

Capcom, WAI U DO DIS?!

With the launch of Street Fighter just THREE days away (HYPE!), something stirs amongst the TV Spots, Online Ads, and various promotions. Capcom has officially revealed their DLC plan for the year, and (Thankfully) will be releasing monthly content updates. Yay! … or, is there something missing? Under the March Update list, Capcom states they will be adding Challenge/Trials modes, an Online Shop, and lastly… Lobby and Spectator support.

            Yupp… you read that last sentence correctly. At launch, Street Fighter V is going to be BARE BONES, which is disappointing, to say the least. Online matches will only support private 1-on-1, nothing more. Unfortunately, multiplayer lobbies, which are a standard for fighting games at launch, will be regrettably absent.

            Come on, Capcom, get your act together!

            Hopefully, this will be addressed sooner rather than later. As an avid fighting game player, I find it a quintessential aspect of modern fighters to support multiplayer lobbies, such as King of the Hill, and just general casual, private games to watch, learn, and participate.

            As always,

            Game on, guys!
