By branding players’ profile with a skull icon.
If a reported leak is any indication, Capcom has plans to soon publicly shame those who repeatedly rage quit while playing Street Fighter V.
According to a post on Reddit, a new test branch for the Steam version of Capcom’s fighter went live yesterday, and it wasn’t initially password protected. Several screenshots were captured and posted to NeoGAF before a password was added.

According to the leaked images, it appears Capcom will brand the player profiles of those who repeatedly rage quit with “special icons” and give them penalties, including “LP reduction and temporary matchmaking restrictions.”
The leak also indicates that players can expect new menu icons and balance changes, as well as the addition of Direct Input support, and the ability to select different music for the game’s various modes: Versus, Training, Ranked Match and Casual Match.
