Street Fighter V Update Introduces Random Item System
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is getting a random item system called Fighting Chance as part of a new update (out June 25) that also introduces helpful consumables called Battle Goods to Survival mode.
Fighting Chance is a system through Menat's Fantasy Fortune Readings (which cost 500 Fight Money) that give players random items, some of which are exclusive to Fighting Chance. Obtainable items include Battle Goods for Survival mode (more on this below), rare costumes exclusive to Fighting Chance (like Cammy's cannon spike costume above), and classic Street Fighter art.
Fight Money itself can be earned in the game and cannot be purchased with real money.
Battle Goods are being introduced for Survival mode, and like Battle Supplements, give you a boost. However, Battle Goods are consumables, and players can use up to five of them between rounds. The update gifts players some Battle Goods, and more can be obtained either by completing Survival mode or via Fighting Chance.
Elsewhere in Survival mode, the update also allows players to spend 1,000 Fight Money to continue if they lose, and you can save your progress between stages.

Our Take
Given how precious Fight Money is in the game, this could be a steep price to pay for some random items.
