Ever since Street Fighter V launched in February, Capcom's had a tough time trying to communicate with fans. The brawler is meant to be a platform that's constantly growing and evolving, but between content delays, communication cock-ups, and a supposedly stretched post-release development cycle, the Japanese company just can't seem to catch a break.
The latest casualty in this war of broken dreams is Ibuki, the title's next additional character. As many of you will know, Capcom previously promised that it would unleash one new character per month, starting with Alex back in March, followed by Guile in April. Ibuki was lined up as May's offering, but, in case you haven't checked the date, it's now the 1st June.
Fortunately, Capcom's at least got the word out with regards to what's going on with the cunning kunoichi. Posting on Twitter, the developer states "we wanted to clear up the confusion around the release of Ibuki in #SFV. She will be released alongside Story Mode at the end of June."
So, we've got another delay on our hands, but are you really bothered? Take the extra time to master Guile in the comments section below.

Another reason why the game is sitting on my shelf gathering dust, it's brilliant gameplay wise, but a huge letdown content wise. I wouldn't be surprised if the Story Mode is delayed.
I called it in the Ibuki trailer article you posted the other day.
Another one in a long string of Ono lies. Can't wait for Story Mode to hit on June 31st
At this rate we won't see story mode for another year.
R.I.P. Street Fighter. You were a great series once. It's sad to see Capcom treat two of their best known series the way they do.
I almost feel bad when this was announced it had a lot going for it the ability to buy characters with in game credit was very interesting.
Ibuki looks horrible imo this time around (but then again I question Capcom's character designs in V altogether). I play this game to a whopping minimum of twice a month maybe so, no it doesn't bother me... RE5 is the only Capcom game I'm looking forward to playing in a few weeks..
Capcom... it's awful they manage to gather so many bad impression for their most popular IP...
Can we buy the DLC characters using in-game currency from the shop, yet?
Capcom has botched this so bad I'm not even excited about the RE 2 remake anymore, which is a shame as the original is one of my favorite all-time favorites. But, Capcom has proven time and again in recent years that it simply doesn't care about its fans or its franchises and if it's willing to screw up SF as badly as it has I can only imagine the disappointments that upcoming Resident Evils will be.
@Bliquid Yeah, cause the last time I played the trial version of Guile the option to purchase the characters was still not available from the in-game shop.
