iPhone Street Fighter IV update: extra character and Bluetooth matchmaking this autumn

According to IGN, Capcom is releasing another free update for Street Fighter IV on iPhone.

Available this autumn, the update will include a new, yet-to-be-revealed character and some interesting new Bluetooth functionality.

It’s not full wi-fi yet, but this new update will allow you to play against a friend in the same room much more easily.

Toggling a setting when you’re available for a versus match will instantly pit you against anyone available nearby, without the need to change game modes or fiddle with menus.

It’s a clear step towards every SF fan’s dream of battling friends nationwide on their iPhones, and one that’s all the more welcome because it’s free.

Street Fighter IV is available in the App Store now, priced £5.99 / $9.99 / €7.99.
