Capcom has some good … and bad news for Street Fighter fans.
You want the good news first? Capcom is opening up the Street Fighter V beta today, according to a blog post from the publisher. So what’s the bad news? It’s only for 24 hours. Oh, and it’s for Europe only.

North American and Asian fans that feel slighted should check their first-world indignation, because we’re going to get our own 24 hour stress tests as well.
Europeans may jump into the Street Fighter V beta today (August 20) starting at 16:00 BST (British Summer Time). Expect it to end around 16:00 BST tomorrow (August 21).
Unfortunately, Capcom hasn’t released any times or dates for those stress tests. It also hasn’t said when the next global five-day beta session is going to take place. I am crossing my fingers that, after running the servers through these stress tests, that the global beta will actually last the entire five days this time.
