    Even though Street Fighter V was in our opinion a great game, with this edition Capcom outdone it and took it to the next level. At this point Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is the richest and most complete 2D fighter on the market.

    It may have taken two years to get here, but Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition breathes new life into the franchise, with a handful of welcome additions, tweaks, and new modes.

    Finally, that's the game we expected: rock solid playability and a great roster of characters and modes. Either you play offline or online, you'll get a great experience... If you still want to give it a chance.

    If you felt like the previous iteration of Street Fighter V felt a little anemic, this one is easily an embarrassment of riches. With more new features than is reasonable to recap here, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition is everything the original game should have been, and much more.

    It's been two years since it's release, but finally we can recommend Street Fighter V as one of the best titles of the genre. It was good gameplay-wise, but now it has some extra modes that adds length and depth to the full package. Arcade Edition it's, indeed, great.

    Judging purely on the current state of Street Fighter V, with the new additions and inclusion of the season 1 and 2 characters in the Arcade Edition, it is most certainly one of the must-own fighting games on the market right now. The arcade mode is enough to warrant anyone picking up this game, even if it has arrived far too late. The FM changes are unfortunate, but the biggest peeve is that Arcade Edition itself is an extremely limited package, since everything here, barring the previous DLC characters, are free updates for owners of the original. The least Capcom could have done is put a few extra costumes and stages in there, because otherwise, the only reason to pick this up is if you don’t already have SFV and want a cheap way of buying the game and its first two character packs. SFV will have plenty more years in it, but being so tight and not turning this release into a current ultimate edition is disappointing, even if it’s not surprising.

We have to remember that at launch there was a.) only 16 characters, b.) trashy small story mode c.) survival mode d.) no demonstrations e.) basically only survival mode which was broken and f.) mainly only online modes. As someone who was new to the genre, I spent most of my time in the training mode and learned the basics of linking, canceling, frame data, etc.
    Now it's the robust game that would've been perfect as a beginner - my ONLY gripe is a small one not worth lowering the score for: where the hell are new trophies for Arcade Edition!?! Street Fighter IV had new trophies for each new edition and I was looking forward to the new trophies here that would help motivate playing all the new features and modes. This just seems like an oversight to me since trophies have become a bigger deal as the years have passed. End Rant.

    Ultimately though, this game, especially for someone who bought it barebones back in February of 2016, is like unwrapping a Christmas gift with a plethora of ways to put my new skills and characters to the test and also catch up on Street Fighter lore from the past 30 years.    … Expand

But with 2 years of refinement under its black belt, plus some seriously impressive additions to its content, this Arcade Edition marks the franchise's highest point since Super Street Fighter II Turbo. The long-requested arcade mode is filled with nostalgic detail, and it gives offline players a compelling reason to keep fighting, something that the original release was sorely lacking. New V-Triggers will undoubtedly shake up competition online, and while there are still a few classic characters missing from the roster, the selection we have at the beginning of Season 3 is still fantastic on its own merit. If you've never played Street Fighter V, this is the perfect time to jump in, and if you already own the original, there's absolutely no excuse for not downloading the free update and giving it another chance. The champ has officially made a comeback, and even in a year packed with high-profile fighting game releases, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition is strong enough to take on any contender that comes its way.… Expand

On the one hand it is the fighting game that continues to be the best in the game mechanics. But on the other hand the Capcom DLC policies are really abusive and it is never possible to have the full experience of the game unless it is paid. This company only thinks about taking out the money to their clients and that is why I never buy a DLC.… Expand

    Loading is too long.
    Many of the costume designs are terrible.
    There are few attractive characters and the techniques are difficult to use.

I saw the hype around and was immediately wanting to buy it because I had bought and played USFIV. I was thinking this could be great and I realized something. This game is really **** You wanna know why. Well, they've simplified the systems, given little content compared to previous SF games and other fighting games, and honestly, I am not surprised, because this is capcom and they also ended up destroying games that could have been amazing like MVCI or Deadrising 4.… Expand
