    This game is the sucks.
    The artwork is stupid, paywall, awful update system. Going from sf4 (whatever version) to sf5 feels like steps backwards off a cliff.
    Capcom has done one thing right, they got our money.

    This game is awful. Just to start the game for the first time you get attacked by at least 50 pop up information. When you finally start playing you recognize the awful graphics and that you only can play with 16 characters and more than 20 are locked in dlc. Why is this called the champion edition? Stay away from this game, unistalled it the same evening.

    It is very annoying to get a DLC code instead of a disc with all the content on it.

    It's not the champion edition on disk, it is the game base with a key to access champion edition. If you lend it to a friend, all content will be blocked.

    The new content is a DLC code! The disc is the base 2016 game! Don't buy that!

    Nice way for Capcom to make customers pay three times (SFV vanilla, SFV Arcade Edition, then SFV Championship Edition) for a game that has in reality been in development for the past four years, since what looked like an alpha version release in 2016.

Sure, you didn't "really" need to pay three times... that is, IF you wanna dedicate your entire life grinding 100K Fight Money for one character... with 50FM per win (i.e. you need 2000 wins to earn one additional character).

    In short, this Street Fighter title is a grind fest, an endless DLC dungeon, replete with explicit "GIMME YOUR MONEY" nudges. With SFV, Capcom has offered a strong contribution to the development of what is becoming the modern standard for "esports" games. In other words, sacrificing originality and authenticity for profitability and marketing.

    Online experience is among the worst on the market.    … Expand

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Antes de que digan algo: No, tener un juego inclinado al online no es una justificación para entregar un contendido offline mediocre. Es mejor no incluir un modo Offline (como tantos juegos han hecho) que incluirlo lleno de carencias.

    El modo Arcade es lo mismo de siempre... más bien peor. Si elegimos un Arcade de 10 combates, los primeros 9 serán ridículamente sencillos y el último será ridículamente difícil. El desbalance es abrumador y convierte la experiencia en algo tosco al casi sin-sentido.

    El modo "historia" una vez más, es bastante plano y aburrido. Sin importar que sea un juego de lucha, se debería pulir este tipo detalles para lograr una experiencia más inmersiva.

    Lo peor de todo es que dicho modo tiene una dificultad patética sin posibilidad de cambiarla. La AI de inteligente no tiene nada al grado de que los personajes ni siquiera te atacan, se quedan parados mientras tú los derrotas. Más bien parece un tutorial muy malo.

    La variedad de personajes es decente y hasta ahí.

    GRÁFICOS:
    El apartado visual es bastante discutible, en lo personal no me ha agradado en absoluto. Y los gráficos son un intento de realismo que queda en eso: intento.

    SONIDO:
    El soundtrack no tiene nada de espectacular, se podría decir que cumple a duras penas.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    SFV no aporta nada a la industria. Tal vez si se hubiera lanzado así en un principio sería distinto, pero no es más que un relanzamiento con mínimos añadidos.    … Expand

    Maybe the best 1vs1 fighting game ever made.

    I've been playing fighting games since I was a child with Street Fighter II in the Sega Genesis, and I think SFV CE has finally reached the best combination ever of great mechanics, cool characters, cast balance and fun.

    Full of microtransactions and barely any content in the main game. Also why are all the women all swollen and weird-looking and look like they're being attacked by a killer bees or something full stop the game looks off honestly Street Fighter 4 lost better. Low res textures everywhere and a low polygon count

    Not a fan of 2D fighting games but Street Fighter V's gameplay impressed me to some extent.

    The game feels very floaty in a good way, the controls are simple and the combos are quite easy to do.

    As for the story mode, it's just painfully average and generic, not worth playing through.

    What killed my fun with the game is the lack of gamemodes.
    If you're playing for the single player content, then there's almost nothing exciting to do.

    It's obvious that this game is mostly focused on the online multiplayer mode which is fun, but if you're a newcomer, then this game is not for you.

    Lastly, there are too many DLC characters, which is unfortunate.

    Another failed business ruining games with mediocre content to put normal features behind a massive paywall. All the beloved characters are in different expensive seasons and then you're paying an extreme amount for a handful of characters glad i got it for free with ps plus and IMMEDIATELY DELETED IT.

    I love Street Fighter but Capcom's greed has made this game a total joke. It gets worse with each release. I just want to buy a complete package on disc and not be slowly bled dry for extra money. The only way I'll play another Street Fighter game is with friends in the same room with a pirated version with everything unlocked. Enough with the greed, Capcom. You've destroyed your games.

    I have been waiting for more than 8 months, but Season4 never have sales and the prices of a season is always higher than the complete set Champion Edition.

    Lo que debía haber salido de estreno con Street Fighter 5, al fin en una edición realmente recomendable. Muchos modos de juego offline y online. A destacar los Arcades e Historia, con una para cada personaje y multitud de caminos diferentes para los personajes que tratan sobre la historia del videojuego de Street Fighter correspondiente y desbloquea el final de personaje de ese juego.

    This game took everything great about Street Fighter IV and completely ruined it. It's boring to play and boring to watch. Your combos need to be executed within 3 frames so they may as well be frame perfect. Absolute dog turd of a Street Fighter game.

    Really did not like this game.

    Here is why
    - weird and uninteresting story (dlc download to even get it)
    - hard to learn even with practice - crazy difficulty spikes in the story
    - over sexualized characters everywhere.
    - constant adds and store pop ups.

    The fighting was fun though. Skip this game or get it on a mega sale.

    Instead of the DLC coming with the game, like other special editions, this game has you put in a code which sucks if you're borrowing the game, and the download takes 1 HOUR!!! Capcom messed up this special edition, which without the code, makes the game the same as the regular game. Worst street fighter game ever!!!

    Overall, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is the ultimate version of SFV. If you just want to get a big package of costumes without paying much for them, this game is definitely a value! If you’ve waited until now to pick up SFV then Champion Edition should be a definite pickup for you.

    Street Fighter V rises to the occasion with its Champion Edition, adding much-needed content in one whole package that was supposed to be part of original Arcade Edition. Even though it is still riddled with some of the technical issues and balance problems, it’s a most complex SF game so far and can provide hours upon hours of fun with its diverse new moves for each character and fun challenges to fulfill.

    It’s great that four years later Street Fighter V is still receiving updates and continues to have a decent online community. I can’t recommend that owners of the previous versions pay for the upgrade since the new characters can be earned for free within the game, but for anyone who hasn’t played Street Fighter V yet, there’s no better version to pick up than the Champion Edition.
