Following up on an announcement made last week at the Street Fighter IV official blog, Capcom shared final details today on a major update for the fighter. Setfor April 24, the fully free update adds new shared and console-specific features to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Both versions will get the previously announced Championship Mode and Battle Replay Viewer.

Championship Mode allows players to take part in on-the-fly tournaments during network play. Following the update, a "Championship" toggle will beadded to the network play area of the game. Check this, and you'll be placed in existing tournaments for upcoming network fights through arcade wait mode,quick match, or custom match.

Those who take part in Championship Mode battles earn Grade Points based off combat results. The game uses these Grade Points to match players. Collecting morepoints will raise your rank and put you in tournaments with tougher foes. Prior to the battle, you can see the level of tournament marked as "G3,"for beginners, rising up to "G2," "G1," and "GS" levels.

△Championship Mode, showing players ranked G3-A, G3-B, and G3-C. The right shot shows a player rising in rank to G3-A. Both players earn Championship Pointsand Grade Points.

Battle Replay Viewer allows players to view replay footage of winning players from the Championship Mode. These replays are added to a replay ranking. Replaysfound in this ranking can be viewed at any time.

Console specific updates include Replay Download and Key Display functionality exclusively for the Xbox 360 and Replay Voting exclusively for the PS3.

The 360-exclusive functionality allows players to download replays from a replay list to their harddisk or memory card for viewing even when not connectedonline. The Key Display functionality allows players to display key press information, which can be combined with slow motion replay functionality to study thetiming of top players.



△The replay list and key viewer for the 360 version.

The PS3-exclusive functionality allows players to flag replays as "Interesting," "Skillful", and "Beautiful" (these aretranslations of the Japanese options; the official English versions may differ). These flags can be placed at any point during the replay through quick buttonpresses. The PS3 version's replay ranking is updated according to these votes.

They said that they might add Dee-Jay and T. Hawk at some point, which was what I was hoping for with this update.. Knowing Capcom, they're probablyalready on the disc and you'll just have to pay for a code to unlock them at some point..

 

[finnns2003]

true, i hope so. anyone remember rolento?

i'm on a roll right now, 13 straight wins. finally found what works for me.

Here's the info directly from capcom

Championship Mode, in a nutshell, means hot tournament action and match replays that let you watch the best of the best. Championship Mode goes live for bothPS3 and Xbox 360 on Friday, April 24, and it comes entirely FREE.

For anyone that wants more than will fit in a nutshell...

Tournaments:
The tournaments offer a new take on classic SFIV competition. They are broken out into 5 different levels, which means everyone can participate and find a goodchallenge without getting blown out of the water or bored. You score Grade Points (GP) for tournament wins, and as your GP total grows, you'll becomeeligible to enter into more exclusive tournaments. Winning tournaments will also net you Championship Points (CP). The CP work basically like "prizemoney" up for grabs in the tournament. The higher the GP skill of the players in a particular tournament, the bigger the CP prize!

In true tournament tradition, character selection is double-blind. With the CP purse on the line, you won't be able to see who your opponent has pickeduntil you've both made your choices, and the battle is set to begin.

The tournaments are run according to a standard type of single-elimination bracket, but your opponents are generated dynamically. This means the matchingsystem will automatically match you with a player of your skill level participating in that tournament type, so you don't have to wait around. Since thetournaments are already seeded by player strength, you're assured quality opponents at your same skill level, as fast as possible. If you can advancethrough the rounds to take a top placing, you'll score GP and CP. As your points increase, you're eligible for tournaments with increasingly strongopponents.


--SG Championship (SUPER GRADE): 5 rounds long. The highest grade championship in which only top players can participate.
--G1 Championship (GRADE 1):５ rounds long, for advanced players
--G2 Championship (GRADE2 2): 4 rounds long, for intermediate players
--G3 Championship (GRADE3) 3 rounds long, for beginners
--FREE Championship (Free Grade): 4 rounds long, open to anyone regardless of their level.

The tournament system is set up to reward you for participating. At G3, you actually score a point even if you get knocked out in your very first match. At G2,you don't gain points for a first-round loss, but don't lose any either. Similarly, you never lose points by participating in the FREE ranktournaments. Only in the top G1 and SG tournaments is it possible to lose GP, and even then you only ever lose 5 points for a first-round loss.

One of the best things about the new mode is that can play in tournaments in just the same way you can use the "arcade request" feature, soyou're free to play in arcade mode while waiting for your next tournament challenger, who will be chosen automatically based on your rank.

Last, but most certainly not least, disconnecters, aka pullers, aka ragequitters, your days are numbered: If you disconnect during a match, the system willalso dock you your progress in the tournament, so pullers will never be able to advance into the higher ranks of tournaments. What's even more fun is thatthe system also happily displays your disconnect percentage, so if you've got a bad habit, it's right there for everyone to see.


Replays
Replays are generated straight from the Championship Mode tournaments. The top 5000 Championship Point leaders will be given the option to upload a replay,which are then available for anyone to watch. Everyone on both X360 and PS3 will have be able to watch any of the replays on their platform, but there are alsosome system-specific extra features on the replays:

On PS3, viewers can watch your replay and vote in real time according to characteristics like "beautiful" or "funny." For the nerds, youcan vote once every 30 frames (that's 2x a second!), although there is a cap to avoid total vote spamming. Replays will be ranked according to theuser-submitted reviews, making it easy to find the flavor of replays you want to see.

On X360, you can't vote on the matches, but you can watch and then save a number of your favorites. While watching your saved matches, you'll also havethe option to turn on input commands (just like the Training Mode option), so you can see the gritty details of exactly what button and joystick inputs the topplayers are using to win.

And just for good meansure, the full press release is below:

Update to Street Fighter IV: Championship Mode comes free!

Capcom is bringing new options to Street Fighter IV with an eye towards serious players. Street Fighter IV's Championship Mode update expands on thefighting fun by offering players the chance to compete in tournaments and to watch replays of the best tournament matches.

Championship Mode offers you the chance to compete in 5 different grades of tournaments, creating the right challenge for players of every skill level.You'll score Grade Points (GP) for tournament wins, and as your GP total grows, you'll become eligible to enter into more exclusive tournaments.Winning tournaments will also net you Championship Points (CP). CP are like "prize money" up for grabs in the tournament. The higher the GP skill ofthe players in a particular tournament, the bigger the CP prize!

Replay Mode allows you to select and watch the best Championship Mode tournament matches.

On the PlayStation Network, you can rate matches while you watch according to characteristics such as "awesome" or "funny." Replays arethen ranked based on these vote ratings.
