Hey everybody!

Hope you all have been enjoying Akuma and Season 2 of Street Fighter V.

We have a small update for you today regarding the Season 2 balance changes and Capcom Fighters Network (CFN).

First off, there were a few typos and changes that weren’t listed in the balance changelist we released back in December. Those have been fixed and added to the official list, which you can view here: game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/adjust2017/en/1….

Changes not originally listed in the balance changelist:

Ibuki

Bonshogeri – Knockback on Crush counter extended by 3F

Juri

Crouching LP – Chain cancelling frames changed from 9F-10F ⇒ 10-11F

Ryodansatsu – Air hitbox and total frames adjusted slightly

Birdie

EX Bull Head – Changed recovery from 28F ⇒ 23F

Alex

Power Drop – Changed attack startup from 5F ⇒ 6F

Changes that were incorrectly listed in the balance changelist:

Ken

Incorrect: L Shoryuken (Normal/V-Trigger) – Removed throw invincibility

Correct: L Shoryuken (Normal/V-Trigger) – Did not remove throw invincibility

Karin

Incorrect: Standing MK – Slowed down timing of startup on V-Trigger cancel by 3F

Correct: Standing MK – Slowed down timing of startup on V-Trigger cancel by 5F

Additionally, we’ve been monitoring character performance since the release of Season 2 balance patch. We are currently analyzing this data to see what, if any, additional adjustments may be needed.

We’re also happy to announce that the team has been hard at work for several months to improve the network quality of CFN. We can’t share all of the details quite yet, but we are anticipating an update this Spring. We have more news to share on this in the coming months.

PAX South is upon us, and if you can make your way to San Antonio, TX this weekend, it’ll be the perfect opportunity to check out the latest Capcom games, participate in our tournaments and get some sweet Capcom goodies!

PAX is always all about the games, so let’s start there. Here’s what we’re bringing to our booth ( #11076):

Resident Evil 7 biohazard – Fear just came home earlier this week on the 24th, and since you can already download the Beginning Hour demo at home, this time we’re showing a pretty scary slice of the full game. If you don’t have the game yet, come early to get a ticket so you can try it out for yourself… in stunning 4K!

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – This fan favorite just made its way to the PS4 late last year and is headed to Xbox One and PC in March. But in the meantime, we’ll have it at our booth, so you can pick out your dream team and challenge your friends.

Street Fighter V – Step up and compete in our daily SFV tournaments for some cool prizes. We’ll have more details on site, but the fun part is all Top 4 participants in each tournament will walk away with something special!

Speaking of tournaments, while these are not organized by Capcom, I spotted a few community hosted tournaments of Capcom games taking place at PAX South. This is what I found so far: Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix – Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – Street Fighter V – Monster Hunter Generations.

Another staple of our PAX presence is the Capcom Store, and it’ll also be there with the coolest and shiniest Capcom merch around. I also recommend showing up early as the highly coveted items tend to run out super-fast!

See you at PAX South!

The day is finally here. Resident Evil 7 biohazard is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC! Capcom has listened to what fans want from the Resident Evil franchise, and with RE7, you can experience the true fear that fans have come to expect from Resident Evil in the twisted corridors of a mansion in Dulvey, Louisiana. Check out the latest trailer right after the jump, and read on for more of what you can expect from RE7.

There are echoes of the series’ survival horror roots in Resident Evil 7 biohazard. Ethan Winters, searching for his missing wife, Mia, finds himself exploring a dilapidated plantation house in Louisiana, drawing parallels to Raccoon City’s S.T.A.R.S. team exploring an old mansion in the Arklay Mountains. You won’t have time to comment on the splendor of this mansion, though – unlike the S.T.A.R.S. team, Ethan is just an ordinary man in a terrifying situation. Before long, Ethan finds himself face to face with the Baker family, who nobody has heard from in several years. In fact, not all is well at the old Baker house at all; the entire mansion seems to be falling apart, and there’s something seriously wrong with the residents, too. The family is waiting for you in this house of horrors, and as you make your way through the mansion, you’ll have to make some hard decisions in classic survival horror fashion. Do you take your chances and fight back against the terrors that await you, or will you try to conserve your resources and run away? The members of the Baker family aren’t the only creatures lurking in the hallways, so you’ll have to plan ahead.

That’s not all we have for you today, though; two additional DLC packs will be available very soon! These packs are available in the Deluxe Edition version of the game as well as the Season Pass, and can also be purchased separately. The first pack, Banned Footage Vol. 1, will be available on PS4 starting on January 31st, and on all other platforms February 21st, for $9.99. This includes two pieces of “Banned Footage” as well as a new mode:

Bedroom:  Figure out how to escape from a locked room – but don’t let Marguerite Baker know you’ve been out of bed.

Nightmare: Fend off waves of enemies and survive until morning.

Extra Mode – Ethan Must Die :  A tough-as-nails mode separate from the tapes and story of the main game. (Does not support PSVR)

In addition, a second pack, Banned Footage Vol. 2, will be available on PS4 starting February 14th, and on all other platforms starting February 21st, for $14.99. This pack includes two more tape scenarios and a new mode:

21:  Gambe life and limb in a deadly game run by Lucas Baker.

Daughters:  See what the Baker family was like before the tragic events of  Resident Evil 7 biohazard .

Extra Mode – Jack’s 55th Birthday:  Race against the clock and feed Jack tons of food in this comical extra game mode separate from the tapes and story of the main game. (Does not support PSVR)

For those of you with PlayStation VR, you’ll be able to experience the entire game, from beginning to end, in a flexible, optional PSVR mode to play as much or as little as you want in immersive VR. For those of you with a 4K TV and a PS4 Pro, you’ll be able to enjoy full 4K resolution with incredibly crisp graphics and even more detailed textures. Plus, Resident Evil 7 biohazard will be able to take advantage of HDR on compatible TVs, no matter what model of PS4 you have. If you have an Xbox One or Xbox One S, you’ll be able to take advantage of HDR on compatible televisions as well. For PC players, there are a plethora of options to tweak your RE experience to your liking.

Do you have what it takes to survive? There’s only one way to find out. Resident Evil 7 biohazard is available now! Welcome to the family.

Last week, mysterious packages started arriving to various press and other well-known Resident Evil fans. Not the strangest thing in the world, sure, unless you consider what was inside the packages – a VHS player and a weathered VHS tape just like the ones you might have seen if you’ve played the Beginning Hour demo for Resident Evil 7 biohazard… But this time, the tape and its contents were addressed to them, begging for the footage to be watched and shared.

If his face looks familiar, that’s because you may recognize Pete from Resident Evil 7 biohazard Teaser Demo: Beginning Hour, or from the KITCHEN teaser demo for PlayStation VR. This new “found footage” VHS tape that was sent out provides a glimpse into where poor Pete may have been in the precious hours between these two demos. Try playing Beginning Hour first, then watch the video above, then play KITCHEN – you’ll get to see Pete’s story from beginning to end.

Honor Pete’s wishes and get this video out there! Resident Evil 7 biohazard will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC starting January 24th, 2017.

Hey World Warriors!

As announced on the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 in Tokyo, Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, is coming to the Nintendo Switch!

Capcom and Nintendo have a long history together, going all the way back to Street Fighter II on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, so we are happy to bring the newest edition of Street Fighter II to the Nintendo Switch.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, since Super Street Fighter II, two new characters join the fight; Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. This version of Ryu has succumbed to the Satsui no Hado and is now obsessed with fighting in order to prove he is the strongest. His former honorable self has been purged, allowing him to enjoy absolute power and embrace an unquenchable bloodthirst for battle.

Violent Ken is the result of M. Bison kidnapping and brainwashing Ken, enhancing his abilities with Psycho Power and twisting his brotherly rivalry with Ryu into hatred. Violent Ken is more ruthless, aggressive, and fearless with moves that feature purple flames instead of his signature fire.

Choose between classic pixel-art graphics for a retro nostalgia trip, or enjoy HD graphics created by UDON Entertainment.

Utilizing the system’s unique Joy-Con controllers, players can challenge each other in Arcade Mode, or team-up to both fight against the CPU at the same time.

Nintendo Switch TV, Tabletop, and Handheld modes allow you to play Ultra Street Fighter II at home or on-the-go with brand new single-player and multiplayer modes. More information and details on these modes, along with confirmed pricing and release timing, will be shared at a later date.

Yoshinori Ono, Executive Producer of the Street Fighter series, will be making an appearance on Nintendo’s Treehouse Live on January 13^th to showcase Ultra Street Fighter II. Watch it live on Nintendo’s Twitch or YouTube Channel .

We here at Capcom can’t wait to bring you the next edition of the classic Street Fighter II series. For the latest updates on everything Street Fighter, make sure follow us on  Facebook  and  Twitter .

First up is all of our festive Holiday DLC, Ryu’s B-Boy and Chun-Li’s B-Girl costumes. Don’t forget, there is a holiday bundle that will include all of the holiday content for the discounted price of $19.99 / €19.99 / £15.99.

For more details on Akuma’s moveset and costumes, click here .

As Combofiend mentioned in his blogpost , the team has been hard at work ensuring the 2017 season of Street Fighter V is its best yet! We’ve been paying attention all year long and these balance changes are the combined result of Capcom Pro Tour tournaments, online play, player feedback, and internal testing. The goal was to ensure a rich, diverse gameplay experience with each character that both players and spectators can enjoy.

In addition to the balance changes, you’ll find a few other features included in the patch:

Direct Input controller support

We are happy to announce that Street Fighter V on Steam now officially supports Direct Input controllers. You’ll find this in the Other Settings section of Options.

Background Music Select

In Battle Settings, you’ll now be able to select your preferred music in Training and Versus Modes as well as Casual and Ranked matches.

Fighter Profile Radar Charts

Additional updates and fixes have been implemented into Fighter Profiles.

Updated Rage Quit System

The current Rage Quit System has resulted in a significant decrease in rage quitting. That said, we always planned to take this one step further and are ready to further address the issue with this update. In addition to losing League Points and being locked out of online matchmaking for a set time, the following additions have been made to the system:

• Matchmaking Update – Players who frequently disconnect during matches will now be more likely to be matched up with other players who exhibit similar behavior. The same applies for honorable players who rarely, if ever disconnect; they will be matched up with similar players.
• Player Profile Icons – The worst offenders and the most honorable players will also have a special icon displayed on their Fighter Profiles.
• League Points Deduction – Anytime a player disconnects during a match, their League Points will be deducted as if it was a loss.

For character-specific changes, we’ve created a handy pdf for easy access. You can download it here .

Overall

• Many adjustments have been made to invincible moves that don’t use meter. Since there was a big difference between characters who had invincible moves and those who didn’t, such as a Shoryuken, many changes have been made to moves that were invincible with no cost.
• Parameters and hit situations for all normal throws have been adjusted. Changes have been made to characters who can loop throws at the edge of the screen. Even after the adjustments, there will be some characters who can loop throws, as those parameters have been adjusted less compared to other characters.
• Due to changes to the game, some general attacks have been adjusted for each character. Along with changes 1 and 2, and the other changes to the game, characters who were able to attack more often and had a long reach became significantly stronger. Due to this, regardless of the strength of the character, general attacks for all characters have been adjusted.    

Ryu

• Ryu’s Shoryuken properties have been revised, while his general attacks have been changed to match the changes to the entire game. In addition to those changes, Ryu can now V-Trigger cancel the second hit of the Jodan Sanrengeki as well as special cancel his standing HP during V-Trigger, ultimately widening the moveset that can be used during footsies.

Ken

• Ken’s airborne Tatsumaki Senpukyaku parameters have been adjusted as the attack was quite strong. Although that may have weakened him in the air slightly, we made it so the Lion Breaker can be cancelled into his V-Skill, allowing Ken the ability to land high damage on the ground depending on the situation.

Chun-Li

• Chun-Li’s special moves such as Hyakuretsukyaku (both grounded and airborne) and Kikoken have been revised, and adjustments to advantageous parameters have been made. The duration of her V-Trigger has been shortened, but V-gauge is easier to fill up as she now has additional attacks from V-Skill and increased combo potential. Additionally, her new special move cancels have given her a wider range of attack variety.

M. Bison

• Adjustments have been made to Psycho Reflect, where the player now gets to choose when they want to shoot the projectile received from absorbing an attack or projectile. Additionally, EX Psycho Blast range has been increased, allowing it to reach the edge of the screen, providing more options for attack. Hit invincibility has been added to EX Head Press during V-Trigger, giving him some defensive buffs as well.

Nash

• Moves that were used frequently during footsies have been adjusted. Advantages on Side Knee Attack and Sonic Boom have been adjusted and a new target combo that includes Bullet Clear has been added to give him the ability to go on the offensive while in close range.

Karin

• Parameters for most of Karin’s general attack have been revised. As Karin’s primary weakness was her lack of anti-airs, an airborne target combo has been added to strengthen her anti-air abilities.

Cammy

• With the revision to Cammy’s Cannon Spike, her defense has weakened a little. However, offsetting this is the addition of new combo possibilities and positive changes to her advantage after certain attacks have landed.

Birdie

• Birdie’s attacks have been adjusted to match the general changes to the game. The advantage after certain attacks have increased, including the ability to follow Standing HK to Standing MP and Crouching HP to H Hanging Chain.

Necalli

• Parameters for all of Necalli’s main moves have been revised. Opening Dagger can only be charged while V-Trigger is active, giving him a wider range of offensive options.

Vega

• Parameters for some of Vega’s normal attacks have been revised. As Vega’s damage output was generally questionable, Aurora Spin Edge and Crimson Terror have been strengthened, increasing the return when they land.

Rashid

• Rashid’s attack options have been increased by making it easier to do combos that include V-trigger and CA. Additionally, his jumping MP has been adjusted so that it can combo into Airborne Eagle Spike, increasing his anti-air abilities.

R. Mika

• R. Mika’s properties for Passion Press and Passion Rope Throw have been revised so that she can no longer mix up the opponent anywhere, anytime. She also now has an airborne target combo, increasing her anti-air abilities.

Zangief

• The advantage and distance between Zangief and the opponent when his moves land or are blocked has been adjusted, giving him more opportunities to choose between hits and throws. All special moves including Double Lariat have been adjusted.

Dhalsim

• Dhalsim’s special and normal moves used frequently during footsies have been strengthened, resulting in an increase in his ability to control range.

F.A.N.G

• F.A.N.G’s attacks frequently used at mid-range have been adjusted to be slightly slower, however the advantage on hit has been increased. As damage output with F.A.N.G was questionable, special moves can now be performed without charge during V-Trigger to allow for higher damage potential.

Laura

• Laura’s attacks have been adjusted to increase her overall combo potential. Additionally, her advantage after combos has been adjusted so that it’s easier for her to continue offense.

Alex

• To match the changes in the game, Alex’s mid-range attacks have become a little slower. However, Alex’s close range damage output has increased as new combo opportunities such as, Crouching LP > L Flash Chop and Lariat > Standing MP have been added. Additionally, the anti-air ability of crouching HP has been improved, making it easier to do damage when he properly reads the opponent.

Guile

• Adjustments have been made to Guile’s unique attacks, such as decreasing the hurtbox around his feet during the Rolling Sobat and increasing the advantage on his Knee Bazooka and Reverse Spin Kick. By increasing the strength of these attacks, there should be an increase in the amount of unique moves used during footsies.

Ibuki

• Ibuki’s dash has been sped up as well as her jump to help her close the distance against the opponent quicker. Her standing MK has also been strengthened greatly to provide more attack/defense options once she gets in.

Balrog

• Balrog now has more ways to break through the opponent’s guard. Changes, such as minimizing the recovery on Buffalo Pressure, increases his mix up potential and making crouching MK a low hit gives him greater high/low options. Special moves such as Screw Smash have been changed from charge moves to command moves to help with offense, while adjustments have been made to each stage of Turn Punch, to increase how much space Balrog can move in an instant.

Juri

• Attack properties of Juri’s normal attacks have been adjusted while combo potential has been increased through modifications to her standing MP to standing MK. Additionally, her ability to cancel all versions of Fuharenkyaku with her V-Skill allow her greater movement options.

Urien

• Some of Urien’s normal attacks have been revised, resulting in an increase in a greater advantage after those attacks hit or are blocked. Another offensive improvement is that jumping LK can now cross-up, resulting in more offensive variety. On the defensive side, crouching HP startup has been quickened in an effort to increase his anti-air abilities.

Lastly, we here at Capcom would like to wish everybody a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. It has been a fantastic year and we are even more excited for what we have in store for you in 2017. Next year marks the 30 ^th Anniversary of the Street Fighter series and for the latest updates on our upcoming celebrations, make sure you follow us on  Facebook  and  Twitter .
