Why the latest netcode update for Street Fighter 5 might especially benefit PS4 users, how Capcom looks to be evolving the game in Season 5, and more

from EventHubs Podcast · host Jonathan Grey, John Guerrero

Street Fighter 5 just got a new netcode update and Catalyst and I have spent some time this morning exploring it directly while also trying to figure out what specific changes we should expect moving forward. Speaking of changes moving forward, Capcom appears to be planning to evolve the game in some significant ways in Season 5. Finally, why does Mortal Kombat's Mileena have such a rabid fan base? We explore a bit of the psychology behind the fandom of this simultaneous sexy bae and devouring monster from under your bed.  Timestamps 00:52 - Netcode update for SF5, what are we seeing already? 02:35 - Potential direct impact for PS4 users 08:26 - What should we expect? 12:55 - We suspect Street Fighter 5's identity is going to change significantly (again) in Season 5 16:50 - What kinds of changes have we seen thus far? Plans for new mechanics    21:17 - Capcom understands the game better than ever before and there's evidence 25:52 - What's SF5's identity like right now? (And what, therefore, needs change?) 35:00 - Giving credit where it's due 43:47 - Why do people love Mortal Kombat's Mileena so ferociously? 46:23 - Two themes: Sexy bae and devouring monster 49:47 - Mileena is your mate and your mom   51:30 - Kiss of Death
