Just a matter of days after revealing that it will be patching various problems with the "open beta" of SSFIITDHR after all, Capcom has offered a second helping of fan service by extending the beta through September 5. The beta was originally slated to conclude on August 20.
The extra play time is clearly in response to the forthcoming patch, which the most recent post on Capcom's blog states is still "coming soon." A second, earlier post on the site details some of the fixes due in the patch, including the elimination of nasty crashes when joining matches and the removal of Ken's cheesy strong Dragon Punch "juggle" bug. We look forward to finally getting in some actual quality time with the beta soon.
