Capcom patching SSFIITHDR 'open beta' after all

Capcom is performing a very special move for those miffed at the generally broken state of the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix "open beta." Despite originally dismissing connection issues and other awkwardness as the pitfalls of pre-release software, it is now planning to offer a patch to address them, according to a post on its official blog.
The patch is slated to contain "several fixes for the open beta," and Capcom states that "the overall experience in the beta will be vastly improved." More details – including a release date – are promised to be forthcoming, so don't put away those arcade sticks just yet.

Betas are supposed to be broken ? It's just not a free ticket to an online demo.

Most betas I've ever known of have things fixed as they go, so this follows in tradition as far as I'm concerned.
On top of that, some people are so impressionable that they may conclude that the state of the final release will be no more stable than this, so this is a decent cover-your-ass method if nothing else.

This is true.
Most console owners have no idea what a beta is, in terms of development.
Such is life.

Without wanting to sound like a fanboy, SSFIITHDR is absolutely AWESOME.
Headsup SquareEnix, you should be doing similar for FFVII.

Those are some of the laziest developers ever, how hard can it be to draw over old sprites?
