Overall online experience said to be 50% better once the patch is installed.
Capcom has announced that the long-awaited patch for the online beta of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix should go live at 10am today (which means it should be rolling out to beta testers now).
In addition to fixing Ken's shoryuken and the crashes when joining games, the patch also promises to improve the online experience by about 50%.
Advertisement"Overall, the online experience should be about 50% better," explains the Capcom blog. "While we can't do anything about high ping times, we've optimized the gameplay experience so that it's less noticeable and smoother. For example, playing someone with a ping time of 200 with the patch, should feel something like playing someone with a ping time of 100 before the patch."
The blog also notes that despite many requests for more playable characters in the beta, it simply wasn't technically "possible for the patch".
Thanks to a recent extension the beta is currently scheduled to end on September 5.
