Capcom's latest edition in its "Street Fighter" franchise is taking a jab at recreating the golden age of arcades with its Battle Hub feature, and if the game's upcoming release is just like its retro-feeling beta test — it won't miss.
Equipped with the classic person-versus-person fighting you would expect, the Battle Hub is a walkable, mall-like arcade with gaming machines to virtually sit down at, a clothing store to purchase avatar outfits, and most notably, fellow "Street Fighter" aficionados to challenge, cheer on and chat with.
Upon entering the room, you'll see other players talking with each other through the in-game chat room or sitting opposite one another at machines. You will also hear lobby room jazz and the occasional intercom interruption, "We currently have a player on a winning streak."
