Street Fighter V at CouchWarriors Coverage

August 26, 2015 CouchWarriors

With our first chance to play SFV at CouchWarriors Ranbat for August last weekend, many in the community had their first hands on with the game. Here are a couple of the photos from our Facebook page on the day. Read on for impressions and video!

Getting the chance to play on on one with live opponents in the gamescom build of the game was a great chance for community to get a feel for the upcoming game. The reactions have been generally very positive, and players are looking forward to the game.

CouchWarriors member and avid youtuber, Kevin “Burnout” Kim did a great job at pulling together some analysis of changes between the online beta version, which received coverage on Shoryuken.com

Check out the videos below and look for more community impressions and video from the event soon!
