Seth Killian dropped a line on the Capcom Forums, letting everyone know that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will have the much-demanded multiplayer lobbies, and unfortunately Street Fighter IV won't — at least for the time being.
I was just wondering if lobbies were still in the cards for the console versions of Street Fighter IV? Weren't they supposed to be part of the Championship Mode update?
Seth: Lobbies were never a part of the Championship update -- I've heard that they were "announced" about 12,000 times but it just ain't true.
That said, we know it's a popular feature and something we'd like to do. No plans to announce right now, except to say that our next fighting release (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) WILL have lobbies included.
