For players who have been following Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, there’s one noticeable thing regarding the Season 3 DLC characters. For the most part, the characters that have been released in Season 3 have been considered generally weak, and not really relevant to the title’s metagame.
With the impending release of Cody today on June 25 — a day earlier than originally announced — people are wondering if the new mayor will befall the same fate, or if he’ll somehow be the one to break what has been dubbed the “Season 3 Curse”. This is the focus of a new video from VesperArcade: here they discuss the character and the toolset he has (based on what we’ve seen so far), looking at whether or not he may actually fare better than the previous Season 3 characters — and maybe even make a significant dent in the current meta.
