Der neue Street Fighter IV Patch fügt den angekündigten Championship Modus dazu, mit dem man Online Turniere veranstalten kann. Die Turniere werden in fünf Klassen zusammengefasst und für Siege gibt es Grade Punkte (GP). Sammelt man davon genug, steigt man auf und darf gegen bessere bzw. gleich gute Kämpfer antreten. Zudem gibt es jetzt auch einen Replay-Modus, bei dem man sich Matches im Championship Modus anschauen kann und diese auch bewerten darf.

Original Capcom PR Text:

Campionship Mode details and date

Capcom is bringing new options to Street Fighter IV with an eye towards serious players. Street Fighter IV’s Championship Mode update expands on the fighting fun by offering players the chance to compete in tournaments and to watch replays of the best tournament matches. Best of all it comes to you at no cost. The Championship Mode update will be available for both PS3 and Xbox 360 owners on Friday, April 24 (exact times TBC).

Championship Mode offers you the chance to compete in five 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). CPs are like “prize money” up for grabs in the tournament. The higher the GP skill of the 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 are then ranked based on these vote ratings.
