    If you're a hardcore Street Fighter player, buy it. The fighting itself is great.

    If you're anybody else wait until the game is more complete because there's very little content. The current version is practically early access.

    Capcom have gotten so much wrong with this game on release it's untrue.

    The single player experience is a joke; so bare bones and actually discourages new players from wanting to learn. Take Survival Mode for example; a mode required before unlocking character colours (FFS). This goes from 10 levels in Easy to jumping a significant amount to 30 in Normal, where you face Shin Bison at the end, who is VERY easy to lose against and therefore makes your previous 29 grinded-out matches for nothing. No reward at the end if you fail to beat him.

    I feel like the only good thing about the release is the core mechanics of the fighting game seem good, but so much of it otherwise makes you *not* want to play it.    … Expand

The story mode is a joke, these are characters we care about and the have a story and we need progression in that respect, look at mortal kombat 9 and X. The game is a great fighter and made even better by the story mode, letting you in on who the characters are and their motives. The characters in street fighter V feel like puppets on strings attached to the controller, there is no purpose or meaning just endless fighting. The lobby is not a lobby, there is a maximum of 2 fighters in a lobby at the moment including yourself, that's on fighter lol that's not a lobby that's just VS. 16 fighters is ok and they have a lot of variety, at the moment the game is laggy at times both due to in game engine issues and network lag, local gameplay lags at times. This is a half baked game and sadly it will make money because of the Street Fighter name, it is not worth full price as it is just a glorified Demo.… Expand

    An incomplete game, a lot of features missing and no real story mode either. Seems this is a beta released for $70. Total rip off, wait few years once the complete SFV comes out and it might be worth $40.

    Second biggest issues are the servers on PS4, they are crap and crash like crazy.

    What a mess this game turned out to be. Where to begin...

    - There is no proper arcade mode. Instead, there is a crippled introductory "story" mode and a proper single player story mode that's way too long and repetitive (Karin over, and over, and over again) ... if you like Mortal Kombat styled single player mode where it just seems to go on forever - it's in there.

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

The one winner his is Sony because since PS4 requires Playstaiton Plus membership to play online, thousands who have for now gone without needing it will opt to buy Playstation Plus just to play online.

    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). 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 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.

    Mi spiace che questa volta sia Capcom a farne le spese perché è una sh che ho sempre amato fin da bambino, ma SF V è davvero un prodotto imbarazzante.
    Il gameplay è ottimo come sempre e ben bilanciato ma i contenuti sono davvero ridotti ai minimi termini: il roster è limitatissimo ed è privo di alcuni dei personaggi più iconici della serie (SF senza Blanka, Honda e Guile no, non si può sentire), e il gioco è orfano di una qualsiasi modalità storia/arcade come si deve. La "storia" è in realtà una serie di banalissimi incontri (3 per personaggio) intervallati da bozzetti tanto brutti quanto incompleti, e la modalità survival è quanto di più banale si possa concepire. Il multiplayer su ps4 richiede ovviamente l' abbonamento ed è la solita solfa a base di incontri matchmaking bla bla e ancora bla. In molti lo troveranno fondamentale, io personalmente no.
    Come ultima cosa gradirei mandare ll diavolo la stampa specializzata, come sempre piena di personaggi corrotti e/o frustrati che non solo non sono in grado di consigliare il pubblico ma tantomeno di educarlo. Vergognatevi e imparate un mestiere vero.    … Expand

    Street Fighter. Ahh, good old memories. One versus one in a fight against your friends (or should i say, rivals?). Glory for the winner and enless humiliation for the loser. Now, over 25 years later, with the release of Street Fighter V, we are all on the losing side.

    The gameplay is fun (i took part on the first two official Beta Tests) and there is much new to discover in the game    Street Fighter. Ahh, good old memories. One versus one in a fight against your friends (or should i say, rivals?). Glory for the winner and enless humiliation for the loser. Now, over 25 years later, with the release of Street Fighter V, we are all on the losing side.

    The gameplay is fun (i took part on the first two official Beta Tests) and there is much new to discover in the game mechanic. The look and animations are great. The backrounds are interesting and they have all little details which looks great. So, why do i complain? Seems all fine so far. Well, not quite._.

    First, the lack of singleplayer content . There is a Story mode, with really easy three till four fights for each character. Before and after every fight, you can see only a drawn picture, which explains the story. Then we have the Survival mode, where you can fight opponent after opponent, until your live bar hits zero. Before the next fight starts, you can select one booster which helps you or increases the score (with a little drawback) for your next fight. That's all. Nothing more for Singleplayer at the current state of the game. There are plans for future content, but that will take a while, until then, you can only fight the dummy in training mode or a local friend.

    Now the online part. At the moment, it is not possible to make quick matches. It takes up to three minutes between the matches (i've played 100 approximately so far), if you are one of the "choosen ones", from what i read so far you can't even join a match. Speaking of online part. In order to earn Fight money (which allows you to buy costumes, characters later this year, yes you read right, the shop is not aviable now), you have to be online. The problem is, you get a lot of dissconnets and don't earn anything during the time you are not connected.

    My conclusion, buy the game in june or july, when most of the content is released, if you are willing to spend a lot of time grinding for fight money to buy everything for free. Let's be honest that's how it will be at the end. Capcom made a great job and washes down another franchise in the drain. Try to make as much money as possible with Street Fighter Capcom. You will need it later.    … Expand

I've read a ton of negative reviews towards the game and decided to ignore it just to feel deeply frustrated and sad with this game. It lacks almost everything.

    Firstly I will name the good things: 1) The gameplay is excellent, much better than SFIV and all characters have unique styles. 2) The graphics are very good, lightning and character models are top notch. 3) When it works, online play is consistent and the matches play smoothly.

    Now to the bad things:
    1) Very few single player game modes, story mode is a complete joke and you can finish it in 20 minutes, the cutscenes are boring as hell with static fugly images and terrible voice acting, the other single player mode, survival, is "ok" I would say, but still lacks. Why Capcom made this story mode? Why even bother? Street Fighter IV had an awesome story/arcade mode with beautiful anime style cutscenes, the story itself wasn't great but it was entertaining at least.

    2) Online mode does not work at all. I've sat there waiting for almost 20 minutes to play a game just to experience severe lag and after the fight was done, I had to wait another 20-30 minutes to play another one because the game does not have a "Rematch" option.

    3) The game forces you to be always online, even if you are playing survival, story or even the practice mode. And it constantly keeps sending a error message, interrupting your practice or vs. AI fight just for the sake of it. This has made me very angry a lot of times because at the beginning I thought that my own internet connection was having issues but no, it was working perfectly fine and the game was dropping from online to offline because the Capcom servers or something like that are TERRIBLE.

    4) If you are playing this on PC you might have a lot of performance issues. I have a mid to high end rig (i5 4690k, GTX970, 8gb RAM) and had a few issues like stuttering, random crashes and freezes.

    That's what I remember (the good and the bad) for now but I HAD to make this "review", hell, I registered on Metacritic just to write this just to say to all of you to NOT BUY this game now, wait for a good price drop and then buy it. Capcom just made a terrible mistake releasing a half game and charging full price for it, given the very little content you can experience off the bat and online issues that cripple this game to death. The characters are nice, the gameplay is nice, the graphics are nice and the sound is nice too, but we cannot accept this, SFV was the first game I ever refunded on Steam (and I have played a lot of bad games on Steam but did not pay 60 dollars for them).

    More and more games are being released like that (hello Battlefront), charging full price for a shallow and brief gaming experience and this will only get worse if Capcom gets away with this.

    Please hear me, WAIT FOR A PRICE DROP and then buy it, do not buy it now unless you don't mind paying 60 bucks for a online only title because that's what this game is. There is no single player content whatsoever and I know that a lot of people did not buy SFIV just to play it online the same way people are going to buy this thinking they will have a full fledged gaming experience. And even the online mode has its huge share of problems.

    Reasons I am disappointed in the game in my opinion and yes i did buy the game before writing this just to be clear

    1. Lack of an interesting story mode/single player - while yes many fighting games don't have story modes (unlike soul caliber and tekken and previous SF games *cough cough*) it falls hard compared to how it was done in SF4 and SF4 ultra where we get a cinematic and a    Reasons I am disappointed in the game in my opinion and yes i did buy the game before writing this just to be clear

    1. Lack of an interesting story mode/single player - while yes many fighting games don't have story modes (unlike soul caliber and tekken and previous SF games *cough cough*) it falls hard compared to how it was done in SF4 and SF4 ultra where we get a cinematic and a small cut-scene against a rival, the most you're gonna get in SF5 is a picture you can easily google up with a voice actor saying 1 or 2 lines. While yes the SF series is mostly competitive gameplay not everyone is gonna play it for the online MP or training for a tournament

    2. Grinding - has apparently become the hottest new way to unlocking things in games because apparently so far as i've played the only way to be able to customize you're character is to beat survival mode a hellish amount of times and no i don't mean in total of you're entire time playing but you've literally have to sit there and fight through 50 matches against a cpu to get 3 colors.(why couldn't it be rewarded for beating a challenge mode which is locked until a march update for some reason) A nice way of implementing unlocking things in a single player mode i think is neat, is you start on a journey in you're hometown of you're chosen character japan/ryu for example and you traveled the world fighting characters you enounter while mastering the art of the fist or whatever your character is trying to do and when you beat them you get in-game credit that you spend for colors and costumes and while yes it is grinding its much more interesting then having to fight through 50 hard lvl cpu straight for 3 colors

    3.features that aren't ready apparently- why is it that the game releases but you have to wait for the rest of the game to be released in an update in another 2 weeks after launch feels a lot like playing games in the 90s where we had to switch over to a second disk but we have to wait for capcom to ship us that second disk. This game feels alot like it was rushed and that before they could finish it capcom was like screw it the players don't care if its unfinished or not.

    4. Small roster - i understand that we shouldn't expect it to be 1000 playable characters but when i look on the screen 16 seems pretty small compared to the 19 in SF4 and then 35 SSF4 and while i already know that they'll be in DLC and i applaud that you can also get those characters with in game money or by buying them it still seems pretty small (i suppose that's because im use to other games like SSB wii u haha)

    To most people that'll look at this post and say "ah what a baby stop whining" i write this because it seems like game developers are getting lazier and lazier at making games, yes it must be hard but this is why you do this is because its your passion right? if not find another job. I look at previous fighting games that came around the PS1 and PS2 era and man those were good times like the Capcom VS SNK 1 and 2 were phenomenal, a with a whopping 48 characters in their roster, their many challenge modes, great music, etc. Marvel vs Capcom with its innovated and unforgettable switch and combined attack mechanic. Its just sad to see that even in the game industry we're getting lazy, where's the passion, the drive if i were to give this game a rating i would give it 4/10 and maybe a 6 when the rest of the characters come out, jeez maybe i should get my old ps2 out from the box and get back into that haha well i'm done ranting thanks for listening to rambling and enjoy a game i think is subpar    … 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

    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

    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

    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

Honestly, this game is such a missed opportunity. I am still shocked at how bad SF5 is. I was never a huge fan of SF4, but at least that game had tons of characters and at least it worked.

(As a fan of 2D fighters over 3D, Street Fighter IV blew me away with how impressive an effort it put out).

    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

    - Slow
    - Characters dont stand out

    The game was released with an incredibly small roster, incredibly small stage selection, no story mode, and still no arcade mode an entire year later.

I can't imagine how angry I would've been if I had paid full price on release day.

    While I definitely am one to prefer quality over quantity, the low quantity lacks any quality as well. Street Fighter V does nothing to grow the fighting game genre which is already having plenty of trouble on its own. The greediness of Capcom will be the death of them soon if they keep this up.

It was in fact being demonstrated on their tv. So I kindly asked for the controller to try it out as I used to play Street Fighter alot way back during the Sega Saturn days. Played a few matches as Chunli as she was already chosen. Seems fun but I had to mash the buttons as I didn't play the game for a long time thinking, I might just grow into this. Was quite excited as other patrons in the store watched me. Sorry guys but I s*ck at it!

    Went to character selection, saw there was only 16 characters. So I ask the guy over the counter "any other unlockable character?" The guy said no. OK. Doesn't matter. So lets see who's in the 16. You get the standard Ryu, Ken, Chunli and Cammy. There's no Guile, no Blanka, no Balrog, no Sagat, no Feilong, no Akuma. Instead we get like around 4 new characters, and you get....Birdie!!! WTFFF!!! Who on earth would tell you "I buy Street FIghter because I want to play a fat@ss Birdie?" Who?? So I gave the controller back to the guy and said no thank you. Was so baffled.

    So I went home, did more research. Apparently characters like Guile will be released as free dlc down the line among other characters. Story mode is like 3 to 4 fights per character and you get to watch a slideshow. And apparently a story dlc is being released in June too. Ehm... ok. Then I look at the PS store, THIS GAME HAS A SEASON PASS!!!!!!! Wut?? So the game in its current state has sooo little content, and yet Capcom released it and they gonna charge dlc in the future??? So what? Some characters free some aren't? New modes? ARE YOU SERIOUS???

    Game is full price ($60) yet lacks the content Street Fighter 4 did at it's launch, lacks a proper single player campaign, which is inexcusable. If they had to release it prematurely with limited content, they should have reduced the price to $40 and labeled it as a prologue. It's unfair for them to charge full price for an incomplete game.

    The only reason why i'm giving the game a 2 instead of a zero, is because the core fighting mechanics are great, and it has potential for the future. But I don't evaluate games on what they will be in the future, I evalute them on what they are now.    … Expand

This game has been released in an incomplete state to fuel the upcoming Capcom Pro Tour event. Only buy it if you want to take part in tournaments, as it has barely any value otherwise.
    Why the low score:
    - Severe clipping/physics issues. While not gamebreaking, the character models are ugly and unpolished. You'd get better graphics from SF4 and I'm not kidding. While textures/AA etc is undoubtly better here, the clipping and physics were better in the predecessor.

    - No SP content. SFV has absolutely nothing on its competition. No missions, no challenges, no trials, barebones tutorial, no story, no randomized content (living towers from MKX, MOM mode from GGXrd)

    - Online features, while functional, are incomplete as well. You can't decline match once it's found, so if you play against someone who lags and then get paired again (which does happen even on most restrictive search settings), you can't decline to play. Casual lobbies hold up only 2 players where 8 were available in the SF4.

    I regret buying the game. The story mode is mediocre (3-4 fights per character, with ugly comic images and lame dialogs in between) , there are only 16 fighters, there's no spectator mode or single matches vs the CPU, and the online isn't working at least for me.

    My advice is: wait to see if it gets better. I give it two points because FANG and Dhalsim look cool (unlike Ken, who    I regret buying the game.

    I don't usually buy fighting games, but I thought I'd give this a shot. Very disappointing. The "story" mode is nothing more than a couple half-baked, non-animated cut scenes, which make no sense whatsoever. I've finished about half of it in less than an hour. Having known nothing about the characters, this game doesn't flesh them out at all, so I'm still uninvested.

    The command system might be familiar to people who regularly play fighting games, but to me, it seems too convoluted. I can't make a Z-shape with my joystick without jumping halfway across the stage.

    In a game that has an obvious "good guys vs bad guys" angle, I've somehow ended up hating everyone and everything.    … Expand

    This is an online game only, we've to pay for internet and PSN access who is expensive and very slow in some countries, the only enjoyable way to play this is with a local friend.

    The most **** SF of all time. Incomplete as hell. No Arcade mode, no history mode, only 16 characters. Do not buy this piece of ****. El peor SF de la historia, una verdadera tomada de pelo. Incompletísimo. NO compren esta basura.

    Broken, flawed, censored. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong with Street Fighter V.

    Shame on Capcom for taking the franchise to this dead with their greed and SJW pandering.

    There’s a great game in Street Fighter V, but only if you’re willing to learn the hard way. Capcom will need more than the few thousand competitors following the Capcom Pro Tour to make this game, and the series as a whole, sustainable for the future.

    Everything that I didn’t like about SFIV is gone, leaving a deep yet easy to grasp, spectacular game. [04/2016, p.34]

    Despite simplistic single-player and feeble tutorials, SFV is a completely essential fighting game. [Apr 2016, p.70]
