    I love Street Fighter but this game is a joke. No vs. CPU mode, despite there being CPU AI for training mode... no arcade mode, no world tour mode, and a simple, 5-minute, 3-match story mode with still illustrations (crap ones at that). Servers keep disconnecting, and oh, that story mode update in June? It's 1-2 hours TOTAL, not per character. What a joke

    This game is a disgrace.

    Street Fighter takes on its 5th iteration in its main series but the bare bones content horrible online play, Censorship and DLC plans keep it from being the best around.

    Street Fighter takes on its 5th iteration in its main series but the bare bones content horrible online play, Censorship and DLC plans keep it from being the best around.

    Story: NO SPOILERS The official story mode is not in the game at this time instead it will be free in a patch in the future but every character has a small story like arc in arcade mode, these give backstories to some characters as well , for some the stories are hit or miss but i found a few enjoyable

    Gameplay: With Street Fighter 5 they have revamped the combat system to make every fighter unique and different, and they have finally removed all of the copy and paste fighters to help that process, Each fighter has a unique V trigger skill help every fighter in a certain way either by power up your regular attacks or setting up a bigger combo, overall its seems easier to get into then street fighter 4.

    Performance/Bugs/Graphics: On the performance side of things it can be a train wreak sometimes, Lag can be game breaking to the point of flinging the controller across the room or as gently as a baby's bum its random at times but its mostly horrible, I cant see how this is even possibly with how many betas the game had before its launch. So far i have not had bugs there is the occasional crash but other then that nothing, Graphics for the are very beautiful and vibrant I really love the art style that they went with the stages are colorful and every fighter is detailed very nicely and the game runs at 60 fps 1080p which is awesome its stable and it works

    Censorship/Content: Awhile back it was discovered that two of the fighters R Mika and Cammy had been censored, The one for cammy was not as severe as the one for Mika as the one for Mike her supermove was covered up via camera angle, As to why the game was censored President Ono of street fighter stated its was to not offend anyone who may buy and play the game. This is wrong on so many levels for they caved into the SJW movement that has gained a lot of ground lately, Im not bad at the choice they made but more disappointed that they became cowards and decided to censor the game, Content in all is severely lacking especially if your mainly an offline player for there are only 2 modes for offline (not counting training or tutorial) The modes are Survival and Character story mode, and for online There is only 1 mode which is just basic 1v1, as for offline there is no 1v1 mode against the cpu. Such lack of basic modes for both online and offline is criminal and asking for 60 bucks full price for it is mental. And the roaster for this is no different with only 16 fighters out of the gate instead of the expected standard of 24 this game is the most lacking in the series

    DLC PLANS: Capcom has a plan to roll out dlc over the next 5 years a lot of which can be earned in game with fight money or via micro cash/ season pass, but this does not exclude the barebones launch of the game with the insanely lackluster content. Overtime it will just eat up more and more of your hard drive space, Capcom just seems to want to milk this game since they are in financial stress now.

    Personal Thoughts/Verdict: While Street Fighter 5 is fun for awhile you start to see that there is not much to do, With the lack of modes you may feel like your grinding for something that isn't even there, Even now as i write this I feel Like going back to street fighter 4, On Top of the Stupid Censorship and DLC plans i cant help but feel cheated and outright spat on my verdict is a 5 out of 10, It was just one wrong decision after another with Street Fighter 5 and it makes me sad for just a famous series to go down the drain like this. I hope my review was helpful have a nice day

    Ahh Street FIghter V, the legendary series that has everyone readying their Arcade Joysticks so they can conquer all who oppose them well...other then a good online experience i still find myself searching for the rest of the game and well ...no luck but i did hear its coming every month and its rushed because of the Pro Tour?, really cmon Capcom.

    Story: Very lacklustre, actually laughable and probably the worst i've seen from the franchise - just 3-4 fights (which are like on very easy) and with no sort of cinematic or cutscene only voice acting played over well drawn but uninteresting pictures, nothing else - zilch i shake my head Capcom. - 2/10

    Gameplay: Still able to succeed with its traditional style gameplay they did try improving it with the V Skill mechanic and i found it okay-ish but still its not a game changer. Still a high caliber fighting game but its failed to take that step further from its predecessor. - 8/10

    Graphics: 6/10 - Not a major difference just a mere improvement from the last, nothing spectacular.

    Fun Factor: 9/10 - Besides the lack of game modes, mediocre story and good online play, you will obviously find most fun fighting against friends and family in Versus.

    Despite being very disliked it doesn't deserve 0s to 3s but i don't blame those who give it that rating because the game obviously unfinished/chopped up or rushed and thats not a good sign for any release.

    6/10 - Above average, a empty game with its content gone missing. Even big fans of the series, competitivie and brave stick fighters would agree with me, WHAT IS THIS CAPCOM.

    Since metacritic higher ups get a bloody tampon everytime I review something and tell the truth, I will make sure that I be as plain and simple as possible. Wait for a PRICE drop! No seriously, this game is the most lackluster fighting game tied with Killer Instinct and MKX XL. New fighters? Awesome and easy to master. New modes? Nope just the same modes from almost every fighting game.

No seriously, this game is the most lackluster fighting game tied with Killer Instinct and MKX XL. New fighters? Awesome and easy to master. New modes? Nope just the same modes from almost every fighting game. A story? Lackluster and poorly presented but just wait until June. Game mechanics? Huge improvement over Street Fighter IV. Speed? A lot faster than IV but not faster than Street Fighter Alpha 3. Advertisement? Annoying and over hyped. Presentation and graphics? Rock solid but could be better. PC port? It works but has issues to frame rate drops when I try to play at max settings on my beastly laptop. Fighter count? Very disappointing. Only 16? :( DLC? It is coming but you can unlock the fighters. (So why is there a pay to win option then) Better voice acting? Meh. Its debatable. Overall final score even with all the updates? 6.9/10 but for now...a 6.7/10. The online in fighting games always seems to need work and patches. Lasting appeal? If you are an overall Street Fighter fan.....still wait for a price drop. The PC version is cheaper. Any thoughts on changing the combat system? Capcom knows what to do. They just need to stop catering to casuals and give us more options like other fighting games do. Time to do some benchmarking Capcom because your not even close. Huge improvement over IV when it comes to fighting BUT lacking in every other area that makes the Ultra edition of IV (please ignore the other useless editions) look like a gold mine and Third Strike... look like a rare jewel. This makes The alpha series, all time champion. Get it together Capcom. This game is your only hope from going bankrupt. And to the rest of you giving this game a lower score than me.....welll my goodness! LMAO! 8/10? No. 9/10 or 10/10? Absolutely NOT. 7/10? Go play other Street Fighter games and compare them ( or simply go on Youtube) Ignore the sell out reviewers giving this game higher than a 6. They have NO IDEA what makes a good fighting game anymore! XD Expand

    The game had 16 playable characters at launch. Street Fighter IV had 25 characters at launch. More characters will come as patch updates. You can get the characters by buying them with "Fight Money", or you can buy them with season pass which is pointless.The season pass include te DLC characters that you can actually get it free, if you're a idiot who waste the money on a season pass that you will get the DLC characters free.
    The season pass also include a PS4 theme, but I don't know how that theme is. The game had 16 playable characters at launch. Street Fighter IV had 25 characters at launch, which is disappointing.

    Does it mean that the game is bad? No, I think that the game is actually okay. The game-play is great, but I like the game-play of the Street Fighter IV better.
    The graphics is good.
    They also include cross-platform that you can play against PC players which is a great thing.
    The DLC will come as patch updates instead that they will make "Super Street Fighter 5" and all that crap. The game also had "Z money". It's like Microtransaction like "Riot points" in League of Legends. Z money was supposed to make you buy Z money that you can buy the DLC characters, but they decided to remove it. Later they made a mode named "Challenge". It's like trials in Street Fighter IV

    Pros:
    - Game-play is great as ever
    - Graphics are great
    - Cross-platform with PC
    - DLC as updates (except the "Premium" costumes
    - Z money removed

    Cons:
    - Not finished
    - No Arcade mode
    - 16 Characters at release (22 with the upcoming patches)
    - Story at release is short AF
    - No mode that you can fight against AI (except Story and Training)
    - Overpriced at launch
    - Season pass is pointless

    To be honest I will give this game a 6/10 so far. I was thinking about 4/10 at launch, because of the lacking of content and the "Story" at launch. When the patches came it got improved and I began to like the game even more.
    I will later write another review next year to see how Street Fighter V has changed.

The story mode was terrible. It was boring and you find yourself not caring about any of the characters or their stories. The roster is tiny. It is a small fraction of the characters from USF4. In order to unlock characters, you'll have to buy them as DLC or grind online where it takes ages to find a game and when you do, it's so laggy that it is damn near impossible to win. Also some character designs look awkward such as Cammy who looks like an alien or R Mika because well, just take a look at her. In terms of replay value, this game is not very good. After I bought it last year, I played it frequently for about two days then I'd only play it at parties or get together's I'd give this game a 68/100. Expand

    Street Fighter V is an unfinished, unpolished, and unsatisfying game, especially because of all the hype it got. The fighting itself is perfect; it's fast, tight, and fluent.

    Street Fighter V is a good game. I mean that at the basest level, because there isn't much content to talk about as of today. The gameplay is excellent. Controls feel nice, music is enjoyable, and characters look amazing, even if they do sometimes phase through their own clothes. All of the pieces are there for this to be one of the biggest fighting games out there. Instead, it's one ofStreet Fighter V is a good game. I mean that at the basest level, because there isn't much content to talk about as of today. The gameplay is excellent. Controls feel nice, music is enjoyable, and characters look amazing, even if they do sometimes phase through their own clothes. All of the pieces are there for this to be one of the biggest fighting games out there. Instead, it's one of the smallest. As a disclaimer, I understand that Capcom has stated that they'll be bringing a bunch of content to the game over the coming years, and I am looking forward to that, but I'm not reviewing their promises for future content, I'm reviewing the game that they shipped out.

    With my experience with fighting games over the years, there are a handful of things I've come to expect when it comes to content. Namely, two of those things are an arcade mode and a versus mode. SFV has half of one of these things. There is no real arcade mode. There is a "story mode" where you get to enter a handful of fights peppered with sometimes passable art explaining why the characters are fighting. You may notice that with all of these, it's something they could've had one minute long cutscene explaining it at the beginning, and then a proper arcade mode. As to versus mode, like I said, it's half there. If you happen to have a friend who lives nearby who also likes fighting games, you're fine. But if you aren't so lucky or just want to practice bouts against a single character, you're out of luck, because there is no player versus computer function. I find it weird that there is no way to actually properly fight the computer. You never enter an actual match with the computer, and that just seems backwards. Even the worst, ugliest, most broken fighting games have had arcade modes and pvc functionality. It feels weird saying that Street Fighter of all things, is missing it.

    Outside of the lackluster story mode, there is also survival mode, which is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I really enjoyed the challenge of fighting an onslaught of opponents on one life, occasionally getting boosts to go on. My only issue is that I've occasionally gotten 20-30 rounds in, and the servers decide to collectively eat the dirt, and I'm booted from the game. I then have to reconnect, and start all over. Or, as is the case with certain characters, you only fight them at the very end, with a stronger cpu level. But you don't have any experience fighting these characters in proper fights because the only way you could even try to emulate this is in training because there is no pvc mode in versus.

    A small point to make, I'm talking about this game almost a week after it's come out. I'm being nice and not reviewing the day one experience, because there wasn't one. Like I mentioned, even to this day I still get dropped by the servers. On day one it was a miracle to stay connected for longer than ten minutes. Now this would be fine if there wasn't a baffling requirement to be connected online to use any mode outside of training, or else you get no rewards for it. So basically, people like me who were suckered into buying this game out the gate had actually purchased a glorified training mode with a versus mode if you had a friend nearby. But as I said, not reviewing the day one experience, but that was something I wanted to mention.

    I will say that now that the game's online connections have stabilized, Street Fighter V is a much more enjoyable game. Online matches are tons of fun, and I do enjoy the survival mode now that the hanging threat of disconnection isn't looming over me. But this game isn't done. This game feels like an EA game, which makes my skin crawl having to say that about any other company. It's a skeleton of a game with good promise and visuals, but quality over quantity only works so well, and things being released further down the line don't make the original game a tiny, incomplete experience. Speaking optimistically, I hope that Capcom fixes this. I hope that they add in a proper arcade mode patch in pvc for the versus mode, and to apologize to early adopters for such a pathetic release to a game they've hyped into the atmosphere, they release some of the DLC this year for free. Hopefully if that comes to pass, my score will jump up maybe 2-4 points and bring this into the green. But just like I said before, Street Fighter V is a good game, and that's it.

    Pros
    -great visuals and music
    -enjoyable characters and gameplay
    -strong multiplayer components

    Cons
    -barebones features
    -heavy reliance on upcoming content
    -disappointing single player experience

    The gameplay is perfect, however as you would have read everywhere else, there is not much single player functionality. I recommend waiting it out if you can, maybe you will be lucky enough to get it at a price drop. If you are a pro player then this is really for you (which i am not) hopefully in the coming months we get more features to play with.

    Street Fighter V is a well-made foundation for a proper sequel, but it's just too light on content to recommend at this stage.

Capcom has built the game with a DLC release schedule in mind, and it will take several months of both paid and free downloads to make it feel complete. Even the story mode barely passes as an introduction to the 16-character roster, as it currently features 4 low-tier fights with some quick graphic novel cutscenes in between. It's nice that we get Japanese and English dual audio, partially because the English voice acting is a mixed bag and nowhere near the quality I'd expect from a high-profile release like this. Street Fighter devotees will be pleased to know that the narrative is pushed in some interesting directions, but it's far from poetry. Also, the new characters are [arguably] better than the ones we got in SFIV's initial release, but they still don't feel as iconic as the series mainstays, many of whom will remain absent until several waves of DLC have passed. The new mechanics are solid and perhaps more balanced for competitive play, and the graphics are fluid and crisp, if the weird caricature art style doesn't turn you off. Sound effects and music are also decent, but the intro lacked any real punch, something I really enjoyed in the earliest SFIV releases and even SFxTK. I really want to like SFV, but in its current state, it really fails to excite me the way a good fighting game should. Inevitably, we'll end up with Super Street Fighter V Turbo: Arcade Edition (or something to that effect) in a year or so, and while I know most gamers won't be able to wait that long, I doubt anyone will look back at this launch fondly. It's a half-baked triple-A title designed to gobble up DLC money, and yet I can't deny the allure of jumping in while the game is still hot. Buy at your own risk, I suppose. Expand

Aus dem schlichten Grund dass man für ein halbes Spiel den vollen Preis zahlen muss, Der Story Modus mit 2-4 Kämpfen je nach Charakter verdient den Namen Story Mode nicht und der Survival Mode alleine ist für Solisten zu wenig. Selbst Online oder lokal gegen Mitspieler hat man nichts zur Auswahl: Nur 1vs1 Matches. Keine Team Matches, keine Mini Turniere, nichts.
    Capcom wird ja zusätzliche Modes und Charaktere nachreichen. Das Kämpfen macht ja auch richtig Bock.Nur bewertet man die Release Version eines Videospiels und da verliert SFV aufgrund des geringen Umfangs an Boden. Schade eigentlich, denn das Gameplay ist eine 10.

    Every single big title that's come out lately has been chastised by internet gamers and made out to be far worse than they really are because gamers are becoming more and more self entitled.

    A game can have so much going right for it.

    - Smooth controls? Check. Good graphics? Check.

    - Interesting story and character development? Check.

    - "ZOMG, one thing wrong with t3h gaem!! 0/10"

    Gamers these days seriously need to grow up and stop feeling so self entitled. Even if you don't think a game is good, or great, giving it a 0/10 for one or two problems while ignoring the bigger picture is ruining the industry almost as much as microtransactions and DLC.

    The worst part is 90% of the people complaining and delivering 0/10 ratings never played the game in their lives to even give an honest opinion. They just follow the bandwagon where ever it takes them. Because screw thinking for yourself, the internet runs in packs. Think like everyone else.

    Very fun and addictive fighter with tons of depth and great gameplay.With that said the game at this state feels rushed and incomplete.

    The first major problem with the game is the lack of a proper story mode, only consisting of 3 "cutscenes" (still drawings with a voiceover) broken by easy level bot fights per character. Although the "real" story mode, with allegedly over an hour of cinematic content and a difficulty setting for the current story mode are set to come, if your looking for this kind of single player content in a fighting game, right now this is not the game you're looking for.

    Also another big complaint concerning single player is the lack of a true arcade mode, where you can fight the AI in quick match. Although there exists survival mode and you could also just fight the computer by setting on the AI in training mode, arcade mode is kind of a staple in fighting games and has been present on previous iterations of this same game so it seems definitely like a odd decision leaving this out of the game. Again, Capcom has already released a statement saying that arcade mode is currently in the works, but this is definitely something that will influence a lot of buyers looking for a better single player experience at the moment of purchase.

    Other solo gameplay mode missing from the game at launch but scheduled to come March of this year is challenge mode. This update should be accompanied by the in-game store and our first dlc character. Now to give some credit to this game outside of gameplay related stuff i think the model of allowing characters to be released and bought with in-game money is a much better model than just releasing rooster updates as completely separate games, as it permits to unlocking characters with no real money investment after purchasing the game (unless you just cant wait to grind some points).
    This is kind of justifies the always online issue (you can play offline just not gain point of it) but this point is debatable though, thanks to the instability online play had during the opening week, dropping you out of games a handful of times and sometimes also failing to record data after a match,although things have gotten better since then, at least in my experience.

    But now when it comes to how "good" playing online feels, i think this game is pretty good. Online play has few minor differences to offline and little times have I felt some kind of lag compensation or slowness in my inputs which makes the online play really enjoyable and competitive (when it actually works), because the core gameplay of this game is also really good, inputs feel responsive, V trigger is a welcomed replacement for the revenge gauge, the character's themselves fill each different types of play, etc. And the game graphics even if they aren't the most technically impressive they do their job of representing in a interesting and understandable way what's happening on screen, same with music, with a few tracks and stages standing out as the more energetic and colorful of the bunch, but overall a pretty good bundle of them nonetheless.

    This leads me to the conclusion, should you buy this game?

    Depends, different people have different standards as to what is the value of 60 dollars and what they spend it in. This game *SHOULD* have been a must buy for any fighting game enthusiast or anyone looking for some fun arcade style fighting game but i unfortunately can't recommend the game to everyone in its current state. Right now the game lacks diversity and quantity of single player content as to make a valuable buy for someone looking to put more than an hour into story and challenge modes as it almost completely lacks this features at the moment, maybe just holding your money and checking in in a couple of months it's your best option.

    But if your looking for some solid and really fun online multiplayer this is definitely a good option for you as right now the only "meat" the game has is in its good online mode and amazing gameplay.

    TL DR: Game right now is not worth if you want a whole gaming experience, there are just better other games offering much more in those categories like MK X, Skullgirlls, BlazBlue, etc. Probably want to hold on a couple of months until most of the content gets released.
    If you want the game for the online play,to get some practice with it, to grab experience on how the game flows and character matchups, and you really want to get gud then this game is pretty good, since the gameplay is one of the best and online play is very smooth.

    Felt like signing up and talking a bit about the game. SFV at this point does not have a shop and a challenge mode. The challenge mode I find to be an issue for newer players. People who don't know how to go into training mode and work out combos for themselves are at a bit of a disadvantage. That sucks. The story mode is both what I wanted and not.

    Story mode is essential you learning about the characters story and about what drives them and the people in their lives. I've never really cared about the fight hobo Ryu, but after playing the story I know know a little bit about why he spends all his time training in the mountains. New players and veterans can fall in love with the story of a character without beating an arcade mode.

    On to arcade mode! It's gone! Now there is a survival mode, where players of varying skill levels can fight against the PC in a gauntlet. If you make it to the end you get rewarded with an alt color and if not then you have some work to do. I like that the colors are tied to a personal achievement as opposed to buying them with fight money like I previously believed. The survival mode is challenging, but has certain buffs that you can get to aid you in your climb to defeating 10, 30, 50 opponents.

    When it comes to the online, it's cut out for me a few times today, but I've had a lot of great matches. I;m from the east coast of the U.S. and have had good matches with people from Puerto Rico, France, and Japan.

    If your a Street Fighter fan, then you'll be happy with the story, survival, and online modes (when you can get matches). The issue is that anyone who is new will be slightly lost in discovering combos and understanding how to play. I believe that Survival mode is supposed to replace Arcade, but the issue is that no mode teaches a player how to play a character! Which is something that is ridiculous.

    Unfortunately Capcom has totally failed to properly test this game. It is primarily an always online experience and the only way to correctly test such a thing is to leave those elements active during a beta test. Instead capcom only did short tests for a few days to a a week at a time and neglected to collect any relevant information as far as server load/stress goes.

    This game also follows a new standard in development that will NOT be exclusive to Capcom. which is to sell an unfinished game at full price and offer the meat that goes with the bones as a later content update. It's essentially a disguised form of early-access and is the result of investor pressure to get a product out faster so they can make money sooner.

    There will be a 'free update' in march which sounds fancy and great but it's really just them giving what they owe us for our $60+

    This game will probably be worth a purchase but I would advise that you not do so until after the march update is released at the earliest. The game itself will be complete in June, so that would be when to buy it if you actually want your money's worth right off the bat.

    At the point of release the game is essentially in Beta #5

The server issues are real. They were not resolved during the beta and continue to plague the final release. Matchmaking is slow, general server connectivity is suspect, the game is skimpy on single player content, and survival is the most functional mode in the game but lacks worthwhile in-game rewards. All of these are major defects, but ultimately SF V is a fighting game and the fighting is excellent. If you invite some friends over and play some 1 on 1 you'll have a good time. The gameplay is the rewarding part of Street Fighter V and requires skill to master while remaining fun. With that said, even button mashers will have a good time as long as they're playing another button masher. I've played Street Fighter since the first game and the fighting in this game is the best it has ever been. The V-Trigger system, balancing, and accessibility tweaks make the gameplay feel complete. I pre-ordered and I'm disappointed with the mostly everything except the fighting - but that's why I bought it in the first place. In today's gaming landscape where shipping broken ass games are the trend, this ranks fairly high on the list. But it seems, Capcom focused its resources on gameplay for the Street Fighter community and figured to fix everything else in the upcoming months. Wait a month for the sorely needed single player content if you're frustrated by poor online execution or don't have friends to play with locally and then jump on in. Expand

    Anyway, the acclaimed Street Fighter series is back in this new, breathtakingly gorgeous fighting game. The characters are well-defined and each of them have received much-needed changes to their appearances, though the game still spouts a bit of oversexualization. Anyway, the game looks good.
    But for a series whose last entry had over 20 characters in just the base entry (44 in “Ultra”) we were a bit surprised to find only 16 characters in Street Fighter V, a full-priced console game in 2016. Now, before anyone freaks out, nothing really suffers because of this.
    Each character is a joy to play as, from series regulars Ken, Ryu and Chun-Li to newcomers F.A.N.G. and Rashid. Obviously, Capcom still knows how to introduce something new and enjoyable, but the game’s mechanics and plans for future content are a bit wonky.
    Things like new characters, stages and more will be released in waves, which you can purchase using in-game Fight Money, which is earned by, well, playing the game. It takes a while, so you’ll be pleased to know you can spend real-life money (converted to Zenny) to get the content as soon as it’s released.
    Yes, we know. It’s lame to sell content like this post-release, but at least there is an option for in-game currency and none of the content is hiding on-disc. The only other recent game to do this was Guitar Hero Live, and the core game didn’t suffer because of it, so fret not. Just think of it like the old days where you would play hours and hours to unlock a certain character.
    And please, don’t let the monetization scare you because Street Fighter V is a fantastic game, not only in gameplay and control but fan service. Each of the 16 characters sport an interactive comic-like story mode, as well as their “V-Skill,” “V-Reversal” and “V-Trigger,” special move mechanics new to this game. The game even supports PS3 fight sticks in the PS4 version, so you don’t have to replace those either.
    Aside from the story mode, new mechanics and competent online matchmaking, the mode options are kind of bleak. There is Versus, of course, so feel free to go head-to-head with friends, and Survival, where you’ll have to win matches upon matches to unlock some new stuff for your characters.
    Overall, the game looks and feel great, but it’s visibly unfinished. Think of it like Capcom’s version of an “Early Access” game. Make the investment now, have some fun, and keep playing as the game moves closer to completion.
    Rumor has it that an actual arcade mode and new difficulty options are in the works. But we’ll see. Who knows? They could just save those for Ultra Super Uber Street Fighter V Complete Edition HD.

    While the content that SFV does have seems to be well executed (offline at least), the problem is that the same sort of content was executed just as well, if not better, and with more of it, over a whole heap of previous Capcom games on different consoles over the last 20 years or so. There are individual components of Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on PS2 that had more to it than SFV.

    Basically, this is Capcom's laziest fighting game effort since Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution.

    Street Fighter always will, and always will be the premier fighting game franchise. The latest iteration of the franchise is a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately enjoyable.

    Firstly, the roster and combat is very well balanced, with some players having an overhaul on their moves lists and combo possibilities, leading to a much more accessible, but deep system which eases new players in, and offers advanced players great depth and plenty of advanced combo possibilities.

    The initial roster is pretty good, with classics such as Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li in there, with seminal boss characters like Bison and Vega. Some returning faces include Birdie and R.Mika, with some brand new characters such as Rashid and Laura - a good well rounded roster - albeit with some strange omissions (no Sagat or Akuma?)

    The combat itself feels much weightier than Street Fighter IV, with hits looking solid and the pace is quick, but not too frenetic. I did notice come hit detection issues, against larger characters (Zangief and Birdie) Where some heavy sweeps miss altogether, or tatsumakis failing to register.

    The only gripe I can find beyond the strange occasional hit detection issue, and reason I haven't rated it higher is something I'm sure has contributed to the poor ratings on here across the board - the overall lack of content. The bundled story mode is a selection of 3 or 4 single round fights, which can take less thank 10 minutes per character to finish, with simplistic AI which sucks any challenge out of it. The survival mode is a decent mode, with four difficulties which will provide some fun for the single player, but thats really all there is for you - with a training mode giving you some basic options to learn your moves before heading out into the online modes of the game.

    Overall, its the very best entry into the franchise, but the lack of content really is detrimental to its value. Luckily Capcom are going to be releasing a cinematic story and challenge mode with a free update in March - and hopefully the inclusion of the bizarrely omitted classic arcade mode will help the game with its longevity and mass appeal.

It's core mechanics are fair, really well polished and have maybe one fault in them. New players can easily pick up this and start to understand how to play compared to most fighting games out there. Assessing this after the updates does give this game greater life and incentive to try out every character and realise there isn't a standalone character which can easily beat everyone: the roster is very balanced. Challenge mode can help teach players damaging combos and training mode is very easy to understand as a tool to help develop a player's fighting game skills. The expenditure on a arcade stick is strongly advised to anyone wanting to play at the competitive level but a regular joypad is fine to use.

    Comparing this to Street Fighter 4, everything is cleaner. There is greater visual input as character animation change whether the attack has hit or is blocked, allowing the player to get instant feedback to what they can do next. One frame combos are no longer a thing, which helps new players to execute top level combos but unfortunately means greater ease for international level players to perform bigger combos more consistently; not really leveling off the playing field. The models themselves look sharper but all the long hair clips through the bodies of character, something that still needs to be addressed.

    Should you buy this game? If it's just something to fill up your library, no. As a first fighting game however, it's the best entry in the series to start as there are more tools than ever to reach a god-like level of play, now more than before.

Lo peor de todo fueron las historias de cada personaje que duraban muy poco y solamente eran tres combates de un round y muy fáciles.
    El juego fue decepcionante para mí pero decidí esperar un año para poder realizar una reseña ya que sabía que en el futuro iban a llegar más contenidos de manera gratuita al juego pero sabiendo que era Capcom no lo creí del todo.
    Y así fue, espere más de un año y lo que agregaron fueron más personajes y escenarios que podías desbloquear de dos formas: pagando por ellos o al ganar unas monedas virtuales al jugar, el problema con esto es que tienes que jugar demasiado tiempo al título si quieres desbloquear a un nuevo peleador, esto me parece algo bastante abusivo ya que de esta forma te intentan convencer para pagar por personajes que debieron ser totalmente gratuitos. Intentaron seguir la fiebre de añadir un modo historia a un juego de peleas pero a diferencia de los trabajos que realizó Netherrealm en los más recientes Mortal Kombat y en Injustice, la historia aquí es bastante confusa y aburrida.
    Las mécanisas del combate me parecieron buenas y el contenido nuevo le agrega un poco más de valor al juego pero sigue sin parecerme una maravilla y no recomiendo comprarlo a menos a que seas muy fan de la franquicia o busques un juego de peleas a nivel competitivo.

I still believe it's a good fighter, but it definitely needs improvement. Expand

    This game would have estily been a 9 or 10 but instead it is a 5 because of its design of milking customers with microtransactions and not releasing a full game at start. This game released with no story and no arcade, things it got with after so long. If you are a fan of this game you prolly have spend like 120+ usd which is simply not cool. Bad practices on a good franchise on this game.

    Um dos piores jogos de luta dessa geração. Lançaram o jogo as pressas e agora estão pagando caro. Mais que merecido. Não colocaram nem um modo arcade, algo que deveria ser obrigatório, já deveria estar incluso no lançamento. Pelo menos estão se redimindo e adicionando conteúdo para o jogo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disclaimer: I am not reviewing the Online elements, as these will be different to different people, and SFV, like SFIV, has major pros and minor cons when it comes to the competitive aspect.

    Now that the game is finally complete, as it should have shipped back on release, I can honestly say that in comparison to its other game with a "movie-length" type story mode, the folk at Capcom are outright lazy, and they need some actual storywriters, because little snippets that, when put together, make up some idea of a "story," is NOT a story. It is certainly not worthy of being called "Cinematic Story."

    To explain it in as few words as possible, characters like Helen, Urien and Juri could have had more to do or say in the story. There are so many plot-holes and left-behind details, that after going through the "Free Cinematic Story" you are left wondering - and fearing - that Capcom is going to be releasing a "PAID Cinematic Story" later; which, I hope, will make players furious... but I doubt it.

    Other issues with the story mode - Necali, which so many were hoping to find out more on, is just an angry, brainless, fighting machine that goes around - T-1000 style (Terminator 2 liquid metal guy) - making angry sounds and fighting whoever, but only if they are weaker than him. So, in other words, the guy is bully/chump, useless and pointless, and there was literally ZERO reason for him to exist in the mode. If you take him out, nothing changes. I'm not kidding.

    Here's the point where you realize, by just noticing a character was basically stamped onto the story mode without purpose, that it happens with almost EVERY, OTHER, CHARACTER... even the main ones. you start feeling like, "Oh wait. They added two fights where you get to fight with Vega because they knew people would be pissed if you couldn't." But these fights make no sense. Vega obsesses over Cammy and Decapre at one point, then gives up and throws away his mask after losing. Wtf??? Vega NEVER throws away his mask. Is this Capcom saying, "This is our last game?"

    Rashid, the newcomer, has more play in the story than any of the other guys - except Nash - and even then you feel like... "Wait! What about his friend? We want to know more, damn it! Who is this stupid genie guy with him all the time? Is he a DLC character??" Then, when they could've killed Rashid, they chickened out. Honestly, I would've chickened out too if I knew how ridiculous the rest of the story is, because you can't kill off the only character who seems to have any significance in the story.

    As mentioned before, Helen, Urien and Juri get absolutely NO TIME or have any significance. You get to fight once with Urien, and I imagine this is to whet your appetite for a DLC later. Helen doesn't fight, but you get the feeling se probably can. And Juri is used once or twice, but she plays no significant role in the story, because Vega's obsession with Cammy and Decayer (which is what Juri sabotages), makes no sense at all in the scope of what is going on. On the other hand, F.A.N.G. is way too prevalent in the story, as is Bison. You get to see more of them than of any singular "hero" character. You also realize how OPed they are.

    I know it got a little longer than expected, but all in all, I give this game an 8 for its competitive aspect and its new ways of performing movesets that can now actually be countered if you learn how and work hard at it (unlike with SFIV), but I take away 3 points for how lazily done the story mode is. This is Capcom saying, "We know you only care about the online aspect. So here's a bunch of other stuff we put together. It's called... uh... Cinematic Story mode... and it's totally new, and errr..... awesome. Yep. Great. Stuffs. BUY our game! Woo!"

    The game feels short on content, and having to unlock the DLC characters is a major pain, still its not as bad as I initially thought it was, and does make for some fun fighting.

    To be honest I dont really see which is the hype about it, the roster is lackluster at best, more of the same characters from the last game, (7 in total if you count only the ones that were already in SFIV), graphics are meh, you could say they tried to imitate a crazed anime style in this one...personally I didn't see that much of difference with the previous games.
    The newcomers are meh

    The newcomers are meh also Rashid and FANG omg...what the hell?. Necalli and Laura they are ok. As for the whole missing modes on launch subject, one should understand that Capcom is trying to cash in into this tournaments which is good, Ill give them that , but they need to make sure next time to have at least some kind of incentive for the casual and lone gamer, not everyone here is looking to compete on a tournament.

    If you're looking for something new and refreshing, then look elsewhere.
    If you're a hardcore fan, which does not mind playing a semi-re-hashed-re-skinned version of SFIV then by all means...

    The game is very good, a lot of nice character, cool costume, and character design is still good looking and sexy. But EVERYTHING IS LOCKED BEHIND A PAYWALL.
    The content in the base game is a joke. Buy the Champion Edition instead.

    *Single Player Only* The combat is deep with iconic characters and varied playing styles. The story modes are serviceable. A newbie will find the basic gameplay difficult. A veteran on the other hand could chain incredible combos. So the higher the skill, the more rewarding Street Fighter V is.

    A terrible launch, but a great improvement over the years, although not enough to reach the sky like other games in the franchise were able to in the past. A solid gameplay, balanced characters, good online component. Props for the decision to make every game able to update with new releases, which means that the base game is still valid even four years after it's release.

    In theory, it could be a really good fighting game. The repulsively greedy game design just won't let it be one.

  1. 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]
