Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition has a boss rush mode and edition select, according to data miner

Data miner X-Kira has apparently spotted a few things that may be of interest to those eagerly anticipating Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (via Shoryuken) including character alternates and an unannounced boss rush mode.

A few weeks back X-Kira said around 20 nostalgic stages from Street Fighter 2, Final Fight and Street Fighter 3 would be coming to the Arcade Edition of SFV. Most recently, though, X-Kira has posted a video on his YouTube showing off a boss rush mode where he faces off against story NPCs such as Aprile, Satsuki, and Phantom Bison.

In the video you can also see X-Kira messing about with bout combinations and pitting different versions of characters against each other via an edition select. You could most recently do this in Ultra Street Fighter IV,  so it’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility. Have a gander below to check out Zangiefs and R. Mikas battling it out. 

While they’re known as a reliable source in the Street Fighter community, it’s worth remembering that official word hasn’t come from Capcom on any of this as of yet.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is set to launch on January 16 on PC and PlayStation 4.
