The highly anticipated Championship Mode for Street fighter has been given an official date: Friday, April 24, for Xbox 360 and PS3. The Championship Mode will allow players to form and join ranked tournaments to vie for the top spot, i.e. King Ass-Kicker! Also, players will be able to watch replays of the very best bouts, in order to learn from the jobless… I mean talented Street Fighter elite. Best of all… the Championship Mode will be 100% F.R.E.E. We’re guessing Capcom is trying to make up for PR blunder that was RE5 multiplayer. Below you’ll find the press release as posted on the Capcom Unity blog, which includes details about the subtle differences between the PS3’s and Xbox 360’s Replay functionality.
Press Release: Update to Street Fighter IV: Championship Mode comes free! Capcom is bringing new options to Street Fighter IV with an eye towards serious players. Street Fighter IV’s Championship Mode update expands on the fighting fun by offering players the chance to compete in tournaments and to watch replays of the best tournament matches. Best of all: it comes to you at no cost! The Championship Mode update will be available for both PS3 and Xbox 360 owners on Friday, April 24 (times TBD). Championship Mode offers you the chance to compete in 5 different grades of tournaments, creating the right challenge for players of every skill level. You’ll score Grade Points (GP) for tournament wins, and as your GP total grows, you’ll become eligible to enter into more exclusive tournaments. Winning tournaments will also net you Championship Points (CP). CP are like “prize money” up for grabs in the tournament. The higher the GP skill of the players in a particular tournament, the bigger the CP prize! Replay Mode allows you to select and watch the best Championship Mode tournament matches. On the PlayStation Network, you can rate matches while you watch according to characteristics such as “awesome” or “funny.” Replays are then ranked based on these vote ratings. On Xbox Live, instead of rating the matches, you can choose to download and save your favorite replays to study the players’ techniques. You’ll also be able to turn on the input commands from both players to be able to review their button and joystick motions in precise detail. |
