Street Fighter V was released earlier this month, and while it’s not as feature-complete as previous releases have been, the core multiplayer experience is where Capcom expects many players to spend the bulk of their time.

New updates for Capcom’s new arcade fighting sequel, “Street Fighter 5” have been revealed regarding a possible Xbox One and Wii U versions. This means that no loss is counted for the person who quits and no win is counted for the person who’s on the verge of winning. As a result, players are quitting in some cases in order to maintain their win streak, as well as the points they’ve accrued up until then.

The beauty of gaming today is that our massively connected world has allowed us to compete with players across an worldwide stage. Capcom is working on a permanent solution to this issue and it’s going to start taking direct action against these players starting next week. While the company hasn’t yet said what’s in store for those found to be cheating, the blog post reads that “punishment will be severe for the worst offenders”. Right now they want you to record every instance of rage quitting you encounter. Capcom says that the best way to do so is to “use the Share function on the PlayStation 4 after the match has ended, they assure players though that video evidence (or Twitch archives, local recordings etc.) is already enough”.

Outside of this, matchmaking improvements are still being worked on, with an emphasis placed on “Europe, the Middle East and various other regions”.
