SF IV: Arcade Edition Is Not Balanced, But It Will Be

by Joe Juba on Jul 31, 2011 at 01:08 PM

The giant fighting game tournament EVO2K11 is happening this weekend, and Capcom's Yoshinori Ono has taken the opportunity to announce a rebalancing patch for Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.

According to a tweet from Capcom's Seth Killian, Ono made the announcement at an EVO panel, stating that work has already begun. Killian follows up with even more info, saying: "Ssfiv ae balance patch coming in fall or winter, will be free!"

I haven't played much (or any, actually) of Arcade Edition, but I hear that Yun is the primary offender when it comes to overpowered characters. Do you think this rebalancing is going to change the way you play? Are there any specific issues you'd like to see addressed?
