When Street Fighter IV was released back in february it made an impact in the gaming world. Sadly the multiplayer mode was poor in comparison to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Capcom promised a patch that would be free and add the so called Championship Mode. Capcom took it's time, released the Alternate Costum packs that are way too expensive and it's other huge game Resident Evil 5 with even more senseless DLC. Now there's finally a date for the free patch: April 24 on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
I retired lately on IV and played HD Remix only. But with the new mode I will begin playing Street Fighter IV again. Another big pro is certainly that those damn quitters are punished from now on with quits getting marked in their stats.
1Up summed it up:
Championship Mode brings a number of new features for online players, including the introduction of five levels of tournaments. Participating (and winning) in these tournaments will earn gamers "Grade Points." Earn more Grade Points and you'll be granted the opportunity to enter even more exclusive tournaments.
There's more, too. Actually winning a tournament earns a separate kind of points: "Championship Points." Capcom says Championship Points are the equivalent of prize money in the Street Fighter 4 universe, and the higher the Grade Points of players in any individual tournament will increase the Championship Point payout.
Replays are also coming to Street Fighter 4, but their functionality is different, depending on which machine you're playing on. On PlayStation Network, you can rate matches and attach different LittleBigPlanet-esque "tags" to them. On Xbox Live, however, you cannot rate the matches but you can download replays and view the specific stick motions and button presses that were entered during the match in real-time.
