    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 a scam, all the content is blocked and you have to unlock it using "fight money". Which you get by playing ranked, and earn 250 per victory. And guess what, each character costs 100,000 fight money, meaning you have to win 400 ranked matches to get the money to buy 1 character.

    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 oneNice 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

    I feel scammed. I bout base SF. Price was not too high, but game felt like demo. Very few characters and stages. Finally I decided to buy upgrade to Champion Edition. That did not unlock all stages. Today I found that the new season is on the way so I don't have access to new characters. They want me to buy season pass. I already bought this terrible game two times! That's the last timeI feel scammed. I bout base SF. Price was not too high, but game felt like demo. Very few characters and stages.

    What a scam, it's the original version of street fighter 5 on disc, with a stupid DLC code. Too cheap to even reprint the disc with all the content on it. Disgraceful.

    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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am supported SFV all the time and bought all Season1, Season2, Season3. just left Season4 haven't been collected. This Champion Edition contained all Season contents and always on sales with the price even lower than just a Season4 DLC.
    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.
    This is very not fair to us. This is how Capcom treated all time SFV supporters like us.    … Expand

    Online game is absolute garbage. Some characters are poorly designed. Gamepley feels either overly aggressive or overly defensive. Actual offline game is 5/10.

    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.

    Demo version of the game for full price! Very greedy company. And where are my previous reviews of this game? This is a question for the site owners.

    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!!!

    It only needs to have the launcher for the dlc one the disc not a voucher code to be best version. So this version is only a base game with voucher code.

    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.
