Japan and Asia's schedule for Street Fighter 5 Beta Test has been released and participants can access the beta in these regions on August 22 and 23 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., JST on both days while the next European stress test is scheduled for August 21 between 4:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.

Eventhubs reports that the information about Japan and Asia's beta test for Street Fighter 5 has been revealed on the Japanese Saikyo blog and it shows the schedule where participants will be able to access the beta in those areas.

European stress test, on the other hand, is revealed on Street Fighter 5 official Twitter account where it says, "The next SFV EU stress test is scheduled for 21/08/2015 between 16:00 and 23:59."

Via its official website, Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 5 Beta has been announced yesterday with regional stress tests starting first in Europe. And once when Capcom is confident with the results from the Europe test, they will announce the dates and times for North America and Asia's region specific tests, which Eventhubs just revealed the date for Asia.

After Capcom has completed each regional stress test, they will then announce the dates and times for the official global beta test which will take place on the promised 5-day period.

The Street Fighter 5 Beta was originally launched last month but did not work due to performance and connectivity issues. While Capcom anticipates that these new beta tests will be a "smoother experience", there may still be issues that could hinder some users' gaming experience.

Capcom's anticipation is proven true as there are several posts that can be read on their Twitter post today about some connection issues such as:

  • "The login issue should be resolved, please try logging in."
  • "We are aware that users are experiencing login issues, and we are looking into it."

However, the European stress test finally looks like itis a success as Capcom thanked everyone who participated in the test saying, "Thanks to everyone who took part in the EU stress test. We were able to collect a lot of valuable data.

Street Fighter 5 is scheduled for a simultaneous worldwide release in Spring of 2016 and Capcom made a promise that no part of the region will be late and everyone will be able to play the game at the same time.
