CapCom unveiled a brand new character for their upcoming fighting game Street Fighter V at the Brazil Games Show. Laura Matsuda joins the frays the fray with her Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu style. Her story-line features sees her wanting to find a protégé and spread her unique fighting style throughout the world.
So how does she fight? Up close and personal with grapples and methodical quick movements. Check out her first trailer and screenshots below and don’t forget that Street Fighter V’s next beta will take place on October 24th and 25th and will feature cross platform play!
Here’s a small breakdown of the upcommign beta’s features:
PC Play
We’re opening up beta access to PC users for the first time. Please check the minimum specs post here to make sure that your PC is able to run SFV properly. Although the minimum specs will allow you to run SFV on your PC, the recommended specs will ensure you have an optimal SFV experience. PC users gain access to the beta starting October 24th.
PS4 to PC Cross-Platform Play
We will be testing out PS4 to PC cross-platform play functionality on October 24th and 25th. This is a first for us and we are very excited for players across both platforms to finally have a chance to battle one another. Make sure to bring your best strategies as the number of people that you can fight against will be that much larger this time around.
Characters
Since the last beta, we’ve announced quite a few new characters and I’m pleased to confirm that they will be selectable during the beta. When the beta launches, Ken, Necalli, Vega and R. Mika will be selectable. As we’re still reviewing our content delivery system, Rashid will be added in on day two (October 23rd) and Karin added on day three (October 24th). The characters from the previous beta: Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, Birdie, Nash and M. Bison will not be selectable this time around.
