Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition & Sakura Available Now

So continues the endless roll-outs of SF versions. No one spins versions off of full games like Capcom, and Street Fighter is one of the worst offenders, with movie editions, hyper editions, championship editions, you name it, they'll make a buck off it. The newest addition to SFV is the Arcade Edition, which provides additional content, most noticeably new characters, like no one's favorite, Sakura, the B-team, She-Ryu. 

Sakura kicks off the Season 3 DLC character line-up, and will later be joined by Sagat, Cody, Blanka, and newcomers Falke and G throughout the year. As with the previous character releases, all of the DLC fighters in Street Fighter V are earnable completely free of charge through completing various in-game challenges and receiving earned in-game currency, properly called Fight Money, but if you get antsy or you suck at the game, you can pony up real cash and buy them outright. 
 
The SFV: Arcade Edition also includes a wide variety of new modes and balance updates in a free update that is available today. Current players of Street Fighter V and new owners of SFV: Arcade Edition will be placed into the same player pool, with PS4 and PC cross-platform play continuing to unite fans in brutal, hurricane kicking combat. 

Here's all the new content that is available in the update: 

Arcade Mode - Journey through six different story paths, each representing a main Street Fighter title: Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter III, Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter V. Each path includes characters faithful to the respective title or appropriately representative of the character. There is online leaderboard support and by reaching the end of each path, players will be treated to one of over 200 all-new custom illustrations.


Second V-Triggers for all characters - Characters in the game and upcoming roster additions will each receive a second V-Trigger option that opens up different ways to fight, paving the way for new strategies, combos, and options for veteran and new players.

Team Battle Mode - A new mode for two local teams of up to five characters battling it out for victory. There are two options: Elimination and Best of Series with various preference settings such as recovering Vitality between matches or allowing the winning player to keep their EX Gauge, and more.

Extra Battle Mode - A new mode that allows players to complete special limited-time challenges to obtain various rewards, including Fight Money, Experience Points and unique costumes.
Special Challenges - Not to be confused with the current weekly missions which are still present and yield Fight Money, Special Challenges are scattered throughout the year and will offer unique titles for players upon completion.

The game will also include an all new Gallery to view the unlockable Arcade Mode illustrations, Sound option (to listen to stage background music, character themes, and more tunes), redesigned UI, and 3D Costume Previews.
