    Once you get permanently banned online for disconnecting, you can`t get the trophies for the Platinum,
    Garbage....
    I tried to unban, but customer service said they cant do anything.
    Stay away from Street Fighter games, trying to Platinum this garbage is not worth it or any other Street Fighter game.

    The Standard Street Fighter V doesnt feel completed, too many contet greyed out, to unlock more content it needs ridiculous amount of play time or you buy the season pass/champion ship edition upgrade.

    Easily the worst and most boring sf game in the entire series.
    The graphics look so bad its like something out of a childs fairytale book.
    The actual gameplay itself is soo weak boring and tedious as well, not even close to as good as sf4.
    OH and lets not forget either the severe lack of stages fighters and gameplay mechanics for the first 3 years after the game launched disgusting.

    Even for free on PSPlus this game is not worth it. The insanely long loading times (not just each time you start, but even on the character selection screen) are ridiculous and inexcusable.

    Feels very much like a free to play game with all the DLC as well.

    They took a beloved franchise and threw it away. They combat is the slowest its ever been. The execution is garbage. I could flail the sick around and get a dragon punch. The combos are only like 5 hits at best and the DLC characters are just old characters that should have been in the game from the start. It's disappointing at best.

So you spend all day grinding you might be able to earn enough FM to unlock one character this time next year. The sound, music and controls are all solid but that online grind or pay $25 to unlock everything is what holds this game back. Capcom y'all done screwed it up.… Expand

    The game is pure rubbish. To the first match you have to wait two hours of licensing, finding a unique nickname (so what's the point to have a psnID??)
    Erased before the first match. Boring and crappy.

    The awkward updates, where your game has to be on the main menu of sf5 is trash.

    That was a shame. It`s a demo and a fault of respec to to the fans.

    Sacar el juego en esas condiciones fue vergonzoso. Sin luchadores ni modos de juego, que posteriormente ya te irán sableando año a año.

    This game is more like a demo. Now when there are new players and stages it looks terribly stripped from it's content. I know things were added while time passed, but that shouldn't be full priced game. Arcade edition is again some king of middle state for the game. We need to wait 4 years for complete ultra super mega hiper edition to be sold complete? It's a bad joke.

    Street Fighter V is a bad fighting game, there aren't many fighters to choose from and its really boring in comparison to a game like Mortal Kombat X. This was my first Street Fighter game and its really left me wondering what all the fuss is about. I really don't like this game.

    Street Fighter V is at the same time, a game that revolutionizes the franchise for the current trend (online) and a real disaster for the old guard of casual fans (offline).

This situation caused huge frustration to the fans who made SFStreet Fighter V is at the same time, a game that revolutionizes the franchise for the current trend (online) and a real disaster for the old guard of casual fans (offline). After the hype soon after its announcement, what was seen at the launch was a game with a full price ($60 USD) but unfinished, without content but online. This situation caused huge frustration to the fans who made SF the most important franchise of fighting games.

    It is clear that the franchise could not fail to be part of the online gaming revolution that is happening (long time ago actually) but almost abandoning the offline mode for casual players brought terrible reception to the game that, except by the "nonsense" contentless, is a great game with an incredible gameplay (in my opinion better than SF IV but still so far for the best SF in terms of gameplay ever released, SF III).

    As I said, its qualities are its competitive mode (when the server works, of course) and its gameplay. There are exciting new features, new skills and a drastic change in the style of classic characters, which caused some displeasure but brought new perspectives. However, its qualities end here.

    Among its many weaknesses, there is the terrible choice of turning SF V into seasons. What initially seems like a good idea to keep the game always interesting, is a bad business for needing to buy season pass over the years. I'm not totally against games with season pass but if the idea was to do this, it's absurdly unfair to sell it a full price of the game at its launch. It'll be fair costs about $20 at the launch and the other $40 would come for at least the first two seasons (the others seasons could be a bonus additions). The justification for this is its second biggest weakness: the F*** 'fight money' (FM). Again, if we it were fair there would be no problems but Capcom's greed is something that always surprises negatively. Basically it is possible to buy all the additional content of the game using only the game money. The problem is that to make enough money you must be a PRO player (what 95% of players aren't) or you simply spend real money. This pathetic situation is identical to the online mode of GTA V. It makes you think that the company cares about the player giving him the opportunity to get everything "for free" but, in fact, it makes the game's content inaccessible to a huge part of fans forcing them to spend even more real money. Something that should be abominable by everybody is still defended by crazy fanboys, even if that most part of them can not even achieve enough FM to get the full content of the game.

    Other negative aspects are technical aspects. Even the graphics being beautiful - which is an obligation with the capacity of the current generation -, the exaggerated cartoon style causes bizarre situations. It is not uncommon seeing hair or part of the fighter's costume to go through them bodies. The scenarios are very beautiful but they've to be bought as well (absurd). The alternative costumes are great and bad at the same time. Great because they offer good options like the classics (always the best) and terrible cause there are plenty of nonsense costumes with no relation with the characters (gangsta Ryu for example).

    More negatives are the arcade mode finals (which came as a free DLC a long time after the original release), which are just a frame with a simple art (and dubious taste). The story mode has very fast fights and, most of the time, put in the game only as a pretext to justify being a fighting game, including the poor script - which is not uncommon in the series that always has a simple-bad plot.

    The game is a landmark in the franchise. It has the great initiative to introduce even more the franchise to the competitive (what I do not like but it is very very necessary in the present days) and brings great gameplay, making the game really addictive. At the same time, it is the worst SF ever released in terms of content and (lack of) characters available available to casual gamers since SF 1 (1987).

    If you are an almost pro player, very competitive and a long-time fan of the franchise, it is mandatory. But if you are part of the vast majority of casual player, it is not recommended (unfortunately). Street Fighter V became a niche game (for pro and online players) inside a niche (fighting games) of industry.

    I've been playing fighting games for most of my life. I keep up with every gens fighting games, whether it be watching or playing them myself. I can say with no real hyperbole that SFV is absolutely one of the worst fighting games ever made. There's so much wrong with it that I don't even know if I can accurately sum it all up.

    This is a game designed with no care, love or heart at all. It was designed to make E-Sports money and that's about it. As a result, gameplay is severely dumbed down and simplistic, the only strategy employable being brain dead rush down. Even characters like Dhalsim and Guile, previously very strong zoners/keep away characters are reduced to rush down tactics simply because it's the only effective strategy. This wouldn't be so bad if characters had any real defensive options but all there is is V-Reversal which imo, isn't particularly effective nor worth spending half the time since your V-Trigger is a huge part of your kit.

    V-Trigger is also a terrible mechanic. It's like they looked at X Factor from MVC3 and said "How can we make this wildly inconsistent?" Some people have incredibly strong v-Skills and others might as well not even have them period.

    Normal strikes have incredibly stubby hitboxes as well as lacking in active frames. There is also a total lack of close normals and the neutral game just feels entirely random. This whole game feels entirely random and inconsistent.

    Capcom has also taken the time to neuter every character and make them all feel incredibly boring. There's not a bit of freedom of in this game whatsoever. I've played First Person shooters with less linear gameplay. You basically guess on every knockdown. Do they throw? Do a meaty attack? Or do they throw bait? That's it.

    Everything in SFV feels like its been tested extensively. No combos, meaties, pressure, resets or knockdowns that Capcom doesn't approve of. If this was Capcom years and years ago this might result in something good but unfortunately, not. This is the Capcom that thought DMC: DMC and Dead Rising 4 were acceptable games.

    They also put a root kit in the PC version at a point. It was removed but I feel like this isn't something you can't just ignore. They willingly jeopardized your computers safety because they were stupid enough to put colors behind survival mode.

    Colors being locked behind survival mode is also just assinine. To unlock colors for your characters, you have to slog through survival mode. 10, 30 and 50 matches a piece for every character and costume you want colors for. I guess now you can use Fight Money to unlock them but am I crazy in feeling like I should be able to earn them in some non idiotic way? Like, pushing a different button? Or by just playing a character in arc...Oh wait, Arcade isn't in this game. Still. For some reason. Don't worry though, plenty of SFV turbonerds will tell you that that's ok. You shouldn't have an utterly basic feature in your game. A feature that's been in existence since, oh, I don't know, Street FIghter 1?

    Netcode is also still atrocious. A 5 Bar connection is not consistent at all. One fight it could be perfect, another you get a ton of roll back.

    There's also artistic problems with this game. Some of the 2d art is absolutely terrible (See Lauras pinched torso in story mode or Pregnant NecallI) For alternate skins, Ibuki doesn't pull her mask down like she does in her default. Guile also combs his hat in his 30th anniversary skin and clipping is a constant. Even on the select menu. This typically isn't a problem for me but when its right in my face, I take issue with it.

    S2 DLC characters are also a waste. Kolin, Ed and Abigail are incredibly boring and dull. Menat is exciting but if I'm being honest, it's just because she's fetish fuel. Costume distribution is also entirely out of whack. Birdie and Fang still only have their default 3. Guarantee Menat gets one before both of them.

    This game is also a cancer that is slowly rotting the FGC from the inside out. Attendence at events is down across the board because of this game. It killed the Excellent Adventures of Gootecks and Mike Ross. Barely any YT channesl survived the transition from 4 to 5. That's how bad this game is. Its bringing everything down with it.

    I hope if you read this review, you'll sincerely consider playing literally any other fighting game. Play Tekken. Play Injustice. Play Guilty Gear or Blazblue. Play Arikas new fighting game. Play DBZF. Play Dong Dong Never Die. Play near anything else instead of SFV. Don't make the same mistake I did and think this game was going to be good. It's not and no Super Update will save it.

    It was **** day 1 and it's still **** now. Don't buy or play this game. It's utter fetid garbage. Play anything else.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an atrocity to the legendary name of Street Fighter. No Arcade mode, no working online mode, only 16 playable characters and you just know, they will sell you the rest of the game through DLC parasite packs to slowly drain a fool of their money in small increments. A full middle finger to the entire fighting game community and the worst Street Fighter release imaginable. Honestly, Street Fighter IV is one of my favorite games, HOW DID CAPCOM ROYALLY SCREW UP THIS BADLY?!?!?

    The gameplay is still in the vein of classic Street Fighter, but Capcom's unrepentant consumer greed and shameless DLC plugging ruin any potential this game could have had. All the characters should have been unlocked from the start because the online mode is such a laggy bore fest, you won't even give a **** about playing it. Also, arcade mode is a shameful disgrace; it's so short and pointless you will want to throw your controller against the wall within an hour. **** this game!    … Expand

PatchesOne year after its disastrous release, it's sad to see how little CAPCOM has done to address the game's core problems. Truth be told – it is now clear that the original complaints focusing on how the game was 'betrayed by filthy casuals who just wanted to play single player modes' were nothing but damage control by players who couldn't believe how lackluster this game actually is. Patches were made, characters were added, and still the game feels mediocre at best, whether you're a casual player, or a professional street fighter.
    CAPCOM's disrespectful and cupid business model is still at large, and the whole 'support the scene' excuse they've been so disingenuously hiding behind only goes to show how they want to exploit the competitive scene rather than appreciate and help it – going as far as to use them as scapegoats for their notorious business practices.
    They successfully created an environment where the only thing that matters is winning at any cost, whether you worked for it or not, regardless of skill, dedication or improvement – and any person that has a problem with that is 'a salty scrub who can't play fighting games'.
    The new single player modes can't do anything significant to save this game's credibility, for the single player (or lack thereof) – though it was insulting – was never the main problem with this game. The 8 frame lag, in combination with internet lag (which is always bad, even if you set the search engine filter to 'only the best connections'), and the overall game design and balance choices made by the developers created a game where learning offense routines by heart, auto-piloting and going for punctual YOLO aggression is more rewarding than any other form of play-style. The problem is not that SFV is a guessing game – you can learn to be a good guesser and be smart about it – but rather that the whole risk-reward aspect of the game feels completely out of balance. You can play immaculate for the whole course of a match and get destroyed in less than 15 seconds if your opponent gets ONE opening. By the time you get knockdown and your enemy starts pulling off his setups, you're already playing with your luck. In the end, winning doesn't feel like a legitimate victory, and losing feels worse than ever. If you have some experience with fighting games, you'll spend most of your time wondering how much more can you take before you throw your stick out of the window. How many mindless yolo-scrub approaches will you be able to punish before they get you with one gimmick and completely change the momentum of the match. It doesn't matter how consistent and passionate about fighting games you are, this game will constantly test your limits in the worst way possible : by showing how little the core skills and mindset you built over the years matter in your progression. The only real virtue at stake here will be your patience.
    Making this game more aggressive, fast-passed (even with the deliberately built-in 8-frame input lag) and accessible could have been a nice change of pace and a legitimately good direction for the series, but the necessary adjustments to make it worthwhile were not implemented. Some old mechanics were brought back with no modifications, which leads to disastrous results : getting stunned can happen even to players that aren't playing excessively defensive. Between the block strings, frame traps and extended pressure, one can get stunned in a moment's notice without a chance to respond to the aggression. There were no accommodations made in the frame-data and general mechanics in order to make the 8-frame input lag and the internet lag less of a problem to deal with – which is lazy and goes to show how blindly they believed in the whole mindless aggression play-style of this game. The result is clear : by making this game 'better to watch' they made it a pain to play. While clumsily trying to cater to fighting-game outsiders, they created a game that only feels good for those who don't care about the genre – people who don't want to learn anything, and just want a nice 'rank icon' next to their name so they can feel good about themselves for a while – or people whose next paycheck relies on them pretending to have fun with it.    … Expand

    On the brighter side of things, Capcom has fully embraced the Udon Comics universe with the games. (SFIV did, but it seems that the expanded universe is what they are going off of now) Personally, I LOVED the comics and it was a welcome sight to see what little story was given to be showcased. Hopefully more will be given in due time.

    As for the gameplay, it's sharp as always...the low rating mainly because Capcom gives us a rough stone and expects us to cut it into a diamond. Sorry dude, we are the consumers and your audience; want to keep us onboard, stop screwing us.    … Expand

    A year later... and unfortunately the score has gradually dropped with each few months for me. The enjoyment never lasts, even when the temptation to come back via a new update or character reveal is made by Capcom. Balance issues were rarely fixed, lag and server problems are never ending and have wrecked any will to take the game online, leaving just a story mode and survival mode that feels below par compared to SFV's predecessors. Heck, if they keep this up with lack of communication as well, Street Fighter 2010 may become the least stressful out of the two!

    If you haven't got it yet, avoid and go for Tekken 7 or Injustice 2 for a more fulfilling experience. If you own it but were turned away or haven't played it in a few months, there is no reason to come back. I've heard the phrase 'never left beta' thrown about and I have to agree with this one. Never reached its true potential. A real shame for the franchise.    … Expand

    While I definitely am one to prefer quality over quantity, the low quantity lacks any quality as well.

    So Street FIghter has gone thru many changes, and number 4 was a where i last played and liked it.
    It looke dgood, flowed smoothly and had some good on and offline game modes to master.

    Then this happened? take out some nice parts of 4, add new ones that are so so ( meh ), then make it almost exclusively online.
    um, why?
    Servers need to be spot on for this to be effective, and they never are, even now.

    The biggest insult is the mortal kombat inspired single player, that came as DLC.
    its utterly crap. Un fluidic and so badly scripted, cut scene after cut scene leading to a 1 round match, and then repeat. with loading. and loading, and ugh.

    Its a great looking game, fights can be intense, and i find the only decent and challenging part of the entire game is the survival 10, 30 50 or 100 rounds, with booosts in between. That i do like, but it cant save the game.
    New charactors were nicely done, but this game needed some things to stay the same as it was.
    Feels as let down for the single player as Soulcalibur 5 was, and hoping rest.of the game keeps us going, but like Soul Cal'

    Im scoring low because even though the game looks pretty, has same Street fighter vibe, its los tout by online only and awful single player DLC to try top boost it.    … Expand

    Original Review:

    I love Street Fighter, but it's so sad to see one time and another time and another time how Capcom is ruining it. They just launched an incomplete game. 16 characteres ??? like 6 scenarios ??? No Arcade Mode ? No Adventure Mode ??? Just compare this mediocre game with Mortal Kombat X. In fact, Street Fighter Alpha 3 have a lot more content than this. This is just a shame. I think the only way of fixing all this would be sending the half of money or giving for free at least 12 characteres and 20 scenarios and all missing modes. I cannot believe they ask 60 USD for this BETA.

    ===

    Editado:

    Ha pasado casi un año desde que lanzaron esto al mercado. Apenas 16 personajes, sin modo arcade, el online funciona como la mierda, y todo el contenido extra se compra y es ridículamente caro.

    Espero que Capcom para comensar a todos quienes creyeron en este juego, haga lo siguiente: 12 personajes gratis y por lo menos 10 pantallas gratis, que arreglen el modo online y agreguen modo arcade.

    Nota: Si compraste el juego en el lanzamiento, más los season pass1 y 2, son 120 USD. Una fortuna por un juego incompleto y roto.

Capcom's seasonal release DLC characters/stages/costumes/colours/everything **** else is yet another money grab from publishers to sap as much as they possibly can without any give or support to the player or community (excluding the capcom pro tour).

    The game offers the player very little in terms of any solo-play features; favoring multi-player in every possible way, even the character story mode and free DLC story really just accentuates the money grabbing repugnance of DLCs characters and the sheer lack abd idiocy of the base characters by making you play them very briefly in a headbangingly generic story filled with very little.. ANYTHING. The only thing that can making the pain in your forehead worse from bashing your head off the closest thing in sight is the lack of an Arcade Mode. Replaced with the utter atrocity that is Survival Mode - a mode so infuriating and boring that every character you do this with you end up hating more and more after every victory.

    Even character exclusion and appeal to an newer community can be excused; however there is no way to justify paying 1/10th of game's value just for one character (without any of the alternative costumes; that if you would like to get, you either are forced to pay for it or forced to grind for hours just to get). Or even 1/3rd of the games base price just for one season's pass, meaning that with the release of every season you will need to buy another season pass topping the value that you are spending on this inadequacy of a game to ridiculous levels (and don't even get me started on alternative colours).

    My aspirations for this game were cut short with the release of Season's Two Akuma and changes to Ryu as the multi-player feel that every second player has watched the same tutorial on how to play the game. If the sudden realisation that this is only going to get worse, haven't hit, the sour taste in your mouth after another 6 seasons of spending money on characters just to play a game that should have been available on day one release should.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Street Fighter 5 has great mechanics and adds a brand new look to the franchise. It’s clearly a evolution in terms of visuals compared to Ultra/Arcade/Super Street Fighter 4 but the game lacks in most of the basic aspects expected by any player who already knew the series.
    What people been saying about a bare-boned release is true, the game had a full price at launch (when I bought cause i’m a fan) but the content was almost exactly like the beta test. So disappointing.
    Capcom made the game intended for online playing and maybe that is the reason of it having almost nothing to do offline for six months besides a very hard survival mode that can let you down in a few minutes and a history intro for each character that you can finish quicker than finding an online match.
    The net code doesn’t work properly as well, as it has been eight months since the launch and most of the players still have problems finding a good connection at the battle lounge and – at least for me – they insist in matching me in with far away opponents so the connection is never the best and when i fight someone from my country the connection is not good either (and believe, the problem is not my connection since other games works pretty fine).
    The game could be very good in the future and I truly hope it turns out to be as such but for now Capcom didn’t repay all the frustration gamers had along the way of 8 months.    … Expand

If you however expect a normal arcade mode where it gives you a bunch of random characters to fight and a rival or boss end battle, you can forget about it.
    - The netcode is inferior to SF4's netcode. That should be saying something. I know "experts" will say GGPO is superior, but it's not. It's dog **** compared to SF4's netcode. Rollback is the dumbest mechanic ever. Skipping frames altogether so it skips like a bad COD game is equally annoying. It's supposed to freeze like it did in SF4. That way you know exactly what's going on and if the connection's ass - it's ass. And that's fine. We know the internet isn't a perfect medium to play games on. Bad netcode breaks otherwise good games.
    - The waiting. The endless waiting. Waiting. Waiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiing. Do I annoy you yet? Waiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiing. That nuisance you're feeling right now is the nuisance you will feel while playing this game online. Between finding an opponent (which in and of itself can take minutes!!) and being able to control your character in Round 1 takes around a minute if not longer. That is clearly unacceptable. It is also not a loading problem as you can test this by playing Survival Mode and checking how long it takes to change background places every 5 matches. Online, they put ARTIFICIAL delay in. So it is DELIBERATE. They DELIBERATELY make you wait. Every. single. time. Not frame delay, but seconds of delay for fluff. For nothing. For a f-cking globe that's spinning, here comes a new challenger, fade to white. This is the main reason I hate this game. The only way I can manage to not lose my mind while playing it is do other stuff on a laptop and casually listen to hurt sounds because I'm getting my ass handed to me after eons of "loading" time. This is a fighting game. Action. It's supposed to be fast at everything. Not some MGS snoozefest where you have to wait and wait some more for nothing. It's like Capcom forgot what genre this is and what the audience expects.
    - When playing ranked, you can't select a character prior to the match. Instead, you have to select the character you want to stick with with SEVERAL buttons and MENUS before it's changed. This blew my mind. The whole menu system is f-cked. I have no nicer word for it. They actively choose to make things as obscure is possible where you're looking for the right game mode, settings, preferences etc. This isn't a "git gud" scenario. Menus shouldn't be a chore to learn as if it's some grind to excellence. Discerning people may pose the argument that selecting a character each time prior to the actual match slows the process down and they may point to the previous point I made, and technically they would be right. However, the way SF4 dealt with this is still much faster in seconds to gameplay than this monstrosity. I have no problem with sacrificing up to 5 seconds selecting a character to play. I do have a problem with minutes of waiting for no reason whatsoever every single time. AVGN says it best with his catchphrase: What were they thinking?!
    - Communication: There is none. We're back to the Stone Age. You can't message people if you don't know their real nickname on PSN. For some retarded reason they thought it'd be a great idea to give us an alias. This means you can't trash talk, ask questions, add friends. It is impossible to add an opponent you met to your friends list. How backward is that! Honestly! The closest to this feature is adding a Favorite from within the game so you can see their recordings and shoot them invites if they're on, but it is a far cry from what it's supposed to be like. Let's reinvent the wheel, guys! **** (c) 2016 Capcom
    - This is a minor gripe I guess but it is a very real nuisance: whenever you're at the Results screen, the PS4 fan will go bonkers. It will rev up to probably 70% or even 100% until you hit X to return to menu. Now, read my lips: There is NO reason. NO. REASON. For it to rev up like
    that. It is a match result screen. It puts zero strain onto the console to keep that screen up. There is no animation, there is no loading, NOTHING. And yet the PS4 sounds like an F16 about to take off. This is an issue that's been around since the game's inception as far as I can tell.
    - After picking the low hanging fruit for easy Fight Money (do all the easy stuff to get in-game currency) it dries up and there's no quick way to get extra money besides grinding it out for hours to get a meager 1000 FM by levelling up a character. One character costs 100.000 FM, mind. So that's 200 hours to buy one character with FM. -character limit reached-    … Expand

If your really going to buy this game get it used because at least you can save money on disappointment.

    If your a pro fighting gamer then your probably playing it on the PC, but if you are a casual there is nothing here for you! Yes, they have added a story but in my opinion it wasn't worth the weight and it will keep you interested if you have never owned a TV or played a game with a compelling storyline.

    The fighting is great but it takes a lot of learning to get good at and start putting combos together that are fun and easy to do and personally I find it horrible to play on a PS4 controller so get a fighting pad (thats if your willing to spend that much money after Capcom has pulled such a classic cash grab). If you want to get better at the fighting you will have to play online and have a really good internet connection otherwise your goner hate the s*** out of this game because there is no arcade mode to learn as your favourite characters but there is a good training mode but lets be honest it gets boring beating the s*** out of the AI without it out stopping the game.

    Story is weak in all aspects so how does the game modes line up? Well they don't, cause there all getting patched in later when and if the developer wants to add them but at the moment there is nothing, unless you want to count that survival mode where you must fight 100 guys but if you lose once you better get ready for them thrilling 99 rounds of the same repeated opponents speaking of opponents lets get to the roster

    With games making such huge leaps in story telling and gameplay these days with loads amount of content meaning the 20% of every game you have ever played you would expect huge line of characters to fight as in this game or at least loads of modes since its such a high profile fighter game as street fighter? You would be wrong if you thought that, in fact you would be wrong even if you expected average. BUT DONT WORRY GUYS CAPCOM ARE PATCHING IN MORE CHARACTERS WITH FREE UPDATES... how often are these updates? Oh there once a month and how many do they add? Oh only one with any game modes? naaaaaah no worries didn't need them anyway

    In fact am going to leave it here otherwise am going to fly to japan with the game disc carve it into a shiv and held the devs at ransom with demands of making this game a free to play release and give everyone there money back! Capcom have **** up again and hopefully this company goes down under soon because its given birth to some of my favourite franchises such as Devil May Cry, Resident Evil and Dead Rising and now its killing them all and hopefully we will see them sell of these IP's to much better developers and publishers.    … Expand

The characters are dull and uninteresting, the voice acting is often bad and the writing is horrendous.

    The choice of characters is very limited at this point and if you must have this game i recommend that you understand that Capcom is playing the long game by slowly releasing characters one at a time in season passes so they make more money off the masses you are suckered into this game. So far of this first season I am only hype for Juri and Ibuki and who knows how much longer its going to take for Juri to drop. Every character has been released late so whenever it does happen i am expecting it to be a month later than that. I recommend waiting to buy this game when season 2 is announced and seeing if there is a special edition online version with all the season one dlc in the future.

    The one good this is the characters feel different when you play them but its Street Fighter. Their not going to feel radically different from one another. Also i've heard they fixed the netcode but i don't play too much online so I personally don't give a **** about that.

    There is no arcade mode. Instead there are small story modes where you just mash crouching jab like mike ross playing Balrog and you can win every match. To unlock costume colors who have to play survival mode which is akin to having your teeth pulled out.

    In short buy Ultra Street Fighter 4 or Third Strike until Capcom makes amends with this game. Also WHEN TEKKEN.    … Expand
