Street Fighter V's April Update to Include Guile, Rage Quit System Detailed - News

by Jared Katz , posted on 18 April 2016 / 7,434 Views

Capcom has announced that Guile will be joining Street Fighter V as part of the game’s April update.

The developer will also be adding a new stage to the game and two new systems to help alleviate matchmaking issues players have been facing. 

Rage Quit System

We’re also happy to announce that we will be implementing a system to punish players who frequently disconnect during matches (aka rage quitters).

The way this will work is the system will identify players who have high disconnect rates during matches and will lock them out of matchmaking for a period of time. Players who have been identified as abusing the system will receive an in-game message notifying them they have been locked out of matchmaking. More additions and enhancements to this system will be implemented in the future.

■ Matchmaking Improvements

We will also be making a number of improvements to Street Fighter V’s matchmaking. Many users should have an easier time creating and connecting to Battle Lounges and we are also loosening the restrictions on finding an opponent. We know users in Europe and other parts of the world have experienced some issues finding opponents and this should help increase the amount of battles coming their way.

That background is quite the throwback. I'm just happy that Guile looks as good as he does now. Can't wait for the new Guile theme.

while its a good throwback indeed the guy on the box doesn't look like he is playing with himself as in SF2, maybe just a little fiddle going on here.

Guile looks more upset than normal.... getting annoyed at the reception of SFV or just sad to be a part of it I wonder!

Well Charlie/Nash is a revenant-like being now. I'd be upset too if a friend I wished to avenge came back as a rage-fueled monster.

He will only be available for free until the Zenny shop is up and running correctly the same as Alex is.
