Street Fighter V Beta Fully Scheduled
We are just days away from the next beta of Street Fighter V. This will be a lot different than the first beta, as not only will be featuring different characters this go round, but cross play capability will be available.
To recap, Ken, Necalli, Vega, and R. Mika are the playable characters in this second beta. As we previously reported in an article a little while back, Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash, Cammy, Birdie, and M. Bison will not be playable in this beta phase. This is interesting, as this allows Capcom to test characters in pods and have numerous players go through the rounds with them, then they can compile what they learned and then focus on the next pod of characters.
But even more importantly, Capcom Unity has given a detailed schedule of the beta. You can find it below.
