In its ongoing war to stop players who intentionally quit Street Fighter V matches early to avoid a loss, Capcom seems prepared to unleash a new weapon: public shaming.
Last night, a new test branch for the PC version of Street Fighter V went up on Steam briefly without password protection. Observant watchers at NeoGAF were able to trawl that update for new content, which includes some balance changes and new music settings. The beta branch also includes this screenshot, which suggests a brand-new penalty for players that quit in-progress matches too often.
“Special icons will be displayed on the Fighter Profiles of players who frequently disconnect, as well as those who never do, making it easier for players with the same icon to battle against each other,” the message reads. In other words, if you ragequit too much, expect people to start actively avoiding your prominently labeled profile during the matchmaking process.
