Capcom has confirmed there’s a “definitive” update heading to Street Fighter 5.
Dropping on 29th March, the update will include “a new battle balance update, cel-shading filter, pixel filter, new tracksuit colours, and Cap-Jams remixes in-game”. Check out the highlights in the new video below:

Beyond that, details are pretty scarce, but as NME points out, the changes seem to include tweaks to Ryu’s target combos – they can now launch the opponents and knock them out of special moves – as well as some new EX-moves. It also appears that Rose can combo her throw during V-Trigger 2, too.
As demonstrated in the teaser, the filters are a fab addition – the cel-shading one perhaps more so than the pixel variant – although they’re only available in offline mode, I’m afraid.
Get ready for the definitive update for Street Fighter V, available March 29 featuring:

Given Street Fighter 5 came out six years ago in February 2016 – and its successor has finally been announced – this is likely the last major update the fighting game will see. We’ll watch this space, though, and report back if anything else changes.
