What is Shadow Mode? It is a way that Capcom can allow users at home to download AI opponents programmed after the techniques and preferences of Capcom's development staff and famous players from the fighting game scene. So you can technically practice without leaving your gaming chair nor have to invite these people over or wait for their time to be free enough to play online against you.
Nice for those of you who are into that I guess? You no longer need to wait to have your ass handed to you by the people who spend way too much time playing these games.
Just so you can have a quick glimpse at what is going on here there are a bunch of new screen shots below. Not that you can really discern anything from them but they are a few new looks at the game. Enjoy and wait to have your ass handed to you by people you probably will never meet in person.
