During Evo 2025, a new title update was announced forCapcom Fighting Collection 2, adding new improvements, quality of life features, as well as four additional characters. TheCapcom Fighting Collection 2announcement shouldn’t be too surprising to fans as the studio has followed a similar pattern with its previously released collections, adding new features and updates post-launch as well.
The collection has certainly resonated with fighting game fans, thanks to many of the games included. Whileevery game withinCapcom Fighting Collection 2may not be exactly what fans wanted, such asCapcom Fighting Evolution, the return ofCapcom vs SNKand its sequel made this package very appealing. However, the launch of the collection was seemingly just the beginning as Capcom is once again planning a big Title Update and its release date is right around the corner.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Title Update Adding New Characters
In a surprising move, similar to apost-launch update added toMarvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, new content and quality of life improvements are being added toCapcom FIghting Collection 2. The Title Update launches on August 7 and the biggest piece of this update for many will likely be the addition of 4 new characters toStreet Fighter Alpha 3 Upper. Maki, Eagle, Yun, and Ingrid will be joining the roster as fully playable characters, and players can turn them on from the Additional Characters EX Setting for the game.
However, that isn’t everything Capcom has planned for the title through this new Title Update. In addition to added artwork for the game’s gallery as well as remixed music of classic songs, new game modes are also being added toStreet Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, that can change the rules of the fight.Plasma Swordis adding a feature that can display Combo Routes inside Training Mode, which can also be toggled on or off from the game’s settings.
The new update gives fans a good opportunity to check Ingrid out before she’s added toStreet Fighter 6. Originally introduced withinCapcom Fighting Evolution, Ingrid is a character that hasn’t been a featured fighter in many games. She was eventually added toStreet Fighter Alpha 3 MAXand was also intended to appear inCapcom Fighting All-Starsbefore it was eventually canceled. When she was officially revealed as part ofStreet Fighter 6’s Year 3 DLC, there was plenty of surprise and confusion from fans considering how little Capcom has utilized her since her last appearance.
