    The fighting engine is strong but the content feels so half baked there's very little to do avoid unless your planning to spend a lot of time playing online.

    Street Fighter V is a Great fighting game, even it lacked of content at release, now Capcom just added General Story mode as a free DLC, which is an 2 hours+ long animation style. This is the prove that they really want to improve the game.

    Gameplay itself is, without doubt, one of the best fighting game in the world. Most of characters are well-balance and distinct from each other.

    Multiplayer works very well. There is matchmaking system that will match you with same skilled fighters, so if you are not TOO casual, you should not have problem with online mode. I tried it and I loved it even though I am not that skilled I still have fun (Super Bronze at t his moment)

    Arcade mode is what still missing in game. It was the major reason I delayed myself from buying this game. However, after I tried training mode, I notice that you can choose difficulty of CPU (from 1-8) and also choose to fight normally (have both hp decease no regen). It is similar to arcade mode !! so you can keep fighting CPU all you want ( I don't know why they didn't add this CPU fighting in Versus Mode so that everyone can know that you can fight CPU in this game

    Graphic and Music are very good, no issue at all.

    Only thing I want improvement is the lacking of costume and stages. I want more costume for my lovely Cammy, (especially sexy ones hee hee)

    In sum, please do not pay attention to those negative reviews. If you like fighting games, get this game ASAP and see for yourself. If you like Street Fighter series, just buy it. If you like PVP games, purchase it, and remember "Precision is Key", said Cammy    … Expand

    With monthly updates, this game is sure to become the best fighting game out there. Don't let the whiny babies discourage you from buying this game. If you have any interest in the Street Fighter series, this is a must buy. You will not be disappointed.

    Street Fighter V isn´t the perfect game it could be. The fighting mechanics are truly amazing. But the lack of content on release was really a strange and kind of stupid move from capcom. This is indeed a unfinished game. But the gameplay itself is simply flawless and so much fun. This is a tough one. Once Street Fighter V is "finished" it could be the best fighting game out there.

    I have a lot of fun with this game.

    Core combat mechanics and play is smooth, responsive, fantastic to look at. The game-play is just impeccable for me. It doesn't take much to impress me with fighting games.

    Core combat mechanics and play is smooth, responsive, fantastic to look at. The game-play is just impeccable for me. It doesn't take much to impress me with fighting games. As long as the animations are smooth, as long as the animation transitions in character motion is consistent with the moves that they're performing and are going to perform is 'believable' enough I'm already almost sold.

    Then I only need some decent music, good enough balance that one medium punch won't drain like 30% HP, some simple-enough combos to execute... and of course if the core fighting mechanics allow for the occasional button-mashing efficiency for the new comers then it's nearly perfect for me at that point. I'm a simple man... if I have fun in a game and if there's obvious quality versus quantity then I can appreciate that.

    I agree that when the game came out it was severely lacking in content. That's because Capcom rushed it out of the door ASAP for the game to be officially available for eSports / tournaments. It was "fine" for that specifically when it came out, but unfortunately that strategy came back on Capcom hard to bite their arse. The thing is that in video gaming you won't have a big window of opportunity to redeem your game if it "fails" at release. The First Impressions, the First-Hand journalistic Reviews, the first Previews... it's all that stuff that counts probably more than the opinions from the actual buyers when the game finally comes out. Initial impressions is what can sell a game, not what you MIGHT add to it one or two years down the line when people already moved on to something else.

    The thing now is that Street Fighter 5 really IS a VERY good fighting game in and of itself. However, people remember it, but for the wrong reasons. Meaning that when we talk about SFV to video gamers in general whom have the slightest knowledge about this franchise they'll probably say something like "Oh yeah... that game, I remember when it came out with basically nothing in it". They won't say something like "Oh yeah! SFV! Dude that game was awesome even if it took a full year to evolve into something good".

    The only thing I hope to see Capcom doing for the inevitable Street Fighter 6 one day is to see them take their time to work on it, polish it, heavily test it internally with veterans of the series and actual tournament participants that should be invited at regular intervals to the studio as the game is being developed to help the devs better understand what needs to be done. We're probably a solid 4 to 5 years away from the next SF game, but it WILL happen. I just hope that Capcom won't rush that one out too just because of eSports and tournaments.

    But all in all, SF5's biggest positive points for me are:

    + Superb Animations (to me it's extremely important in a fighting game)
    + Great music (also very important to me)
    + Great characters selection (including DLC characters of course), I only want Q to make it.
    + Core fighting mechanics are great, very responsive

    + Great fighting pace. The fighting doesn't feel too slow, or too fast of a fighting game; I have time to think, and more importantly I have time to actually see and anticipate what my opponent is going to do or what he's trying to do. In other words the pace is just right for a "Mind Game" between two human opponents.

    + There's now enough basic content, there could be more, but what's there now is appreciable. You have the usual Training Mode, online play (casual and ranked), Versus and Story modes (very short character-specific or a lengthier general story mode). This point would have been a negative at release and even for months to follow, but right now as I type this in April 2017 the game's content is just alright, I wouldn't need more per se; what's there is fine.

    Let's just say that at release I would have probably rated this game something like 4 or 5 out of 10. But now I really, REALLY like it. It's one of the best fighting games I've played in the past 10 years. But I'll conclude by saying (and sort of repeating myself in doing so) that Capcom absolutely has to learn from SFV's initial release state. If they want this franchise to continue doing well (or better than it does right now) then they will have to work on the next one for a lot longer before they decide to release it.

    The big gist of this for developers is: Stop. Rushing. Games. Out.

    Thanks.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good the fighting mechanics are a lot better that in USFV, the games has a very interesting roster, every character feels unique and id fun to play if you manage to understand them.
    The story is just a prologue for the June expansion as it is right now is pretty boring.
    Survival mode is a good challenge, but may get frustrating some times, the worst part is survival mode is the only way to get some of the colors for the characters and you have to complete it in each mode to get colors for the costume your characters is using at that moment.
    Now the most interesting part the online:
    The online is working as it should the netcode is just fine and is rare to get a laggy match, of course that also depends of your area and ISP.
    Overall the game is good but it is still lacking content, If your planning to be competitive online the game is good to go now, on the other hand if you want more single player content it would be a good idea to wait for the June patch.    … Expand

    The problem with the servers is normal now a days and almost all games have this kind of problem in the first days... I think the problem was resolved, because i am not experiencing any lag in the online matches.

    The gameplay is awsome! The best fight game in my opinion...
    The number of characters is OK, and you don't need to pay for the DLC characters.
    The survivial mode is great and the prólogue of the story mode is decent. For me 8.5 is fair enought.

    ____________________________________
    A capcom disse que eles estão trabalhando no modo Arcade, e esta era a única coisa que estava faltando para mim... Isso mostra que eles se preocuparam com o feedback dos jogadores.
    Sobre o lançamento abrupta do jogo... Foi só para não atrapalhar a agenda dos torneios que estão por vir este ano, temos que levar isso em consideração. A capcom não tentou enganar ninguém, e eles foram bem claros sobre o conteúdo do jogo, por isso, se você comprou o jogo sem saber, a culpa é só sua.
    O problema com os servidores é normal nos dias de hoje e quase todos os jogos têm este tipo de problema nos primeiros dias ... Eu acho que o problema foi resolvido, porque eu não estou tendo qualquer lag nas partidas online.

    A jogabilidade está impressionante! O melhor jogo de luta em minha opinião...
    O número de personagens é OK, e você não precisa pagar para os personagens de DLC.
    O modo de sobrevivência é grande e o prólogo do modo de história é decente. Para mim 8.5 é justo.    … Expand

    I am no fighting game pro. Just a guy who bought Street Fighter V because I wanted to play a fighting game. I also understand game development realities, so I will not bash the game unfairly like others. In our age where games are more of an updating service (with patches and DLCs) than a final product, criticising a game before it's complete is pointless.

    First, is Street Fighter V a    I am no fighting game pro. Just a guy who bought Street Fighter V because I wanted to play a fighting game. I also understand game development realities, so I will not bash the game unfairly like others. In our age where games are more of an updating service (with patches and DLCs) than a final product, criticising a game before it's complete is pointless.

    First, is Street Fighter V a bad game as many people complain? Is it a Capcom fraud? No, it isn't. In fact, it's pure gold (not that it couldn't have been even better). Anyone scoring the game lowly is either a salty Xbox fan who was left out of the SF V party due to the Sony/Capcom exclusivity deal, or needs to fix his head.

    Secondly, could Street Fighter V have been more feature rich at launch? Yes, it could, but it wouldn't have made a lot of difference. SF V may have launched too early and incomplete (due to the players having to train before participating in tournaments), initially featuring only a versus mode and training mode, with no online mode and story mode and arcade mode and all, but it was a really GOOD game with the best gameplay I have ever experienced in a fighting game. Accessible, yet very deep. Anyway, most of the missing content was patched in quickly, and various server problems have been fixed, too. Only thing that's missing as of my review is the story mode. Well, even I (not being a fighting game pro) know that story mode is almost pointless in a fighting game. Anyone complaining about SF V missing the story mode and scoring it low, is like complaining a burger has no sesame in the bread. Who cares, really? And who will really miss it if it's not there at the moment?

    Thirdly, gameplay is King in Street Fighter V. I am not a guy who can perform a 20-hit combo, but I appreciate the accessible (for beginners) yet deep (for pros) gameplay. There are the standard punches/kicks, jumps, special moves like Hadouken, and Ultra moves. But the best parts are the V-Trigger and V-Reversal mechanics, each serving different purposes and even differing between each character. I personally don't play chargers like Bison and the newly added Guyle or grapplers like Zangief, rather playing ranged characters, but the roster is quite varied and it will keep expanding in the coming years via DLC. And for the first time, Capcom won't release Super Mega Ultra Editions of the same SF game, so you don't have to fear about being ripped off like in the past years.

    Overall, SF V is a very good game which doesn't deserve the hatred it has generated. It's simply one of the best fighting games available, and I don't think that will change for quite some time. Even at launch with most modes missing, the game had (and has) no in-game glitches, no frame rate drops, no nothing. And yet, other games releasing with severe technical issues are being reviewed differently to this little rough gem.    … Expand

    Every Street Fighter has offered something different to the experience. The series has been fine tuning the mechanics for a long time offering fighting game fans some of the best gameplay out of any series and Street Fighter V does not disappoint.

    What is offered in the game: Story Mode - Story Mode has a focus on what it says it is, Story. Not a lot of battles, but more story than    Every Street Fighter has offered something different to the experience. The series has been fine tuning the mechanics for a long time offering fighting game fans some of the best gameplay out of any series and Street Fighter V does not disappoint.

    What is offered in the game:

    Story Mode - Story Mode has a focus on what it says it is, Story. Not a lot of battles, but more story than any Street Fighter game has had to date. For those that mostly just play the games and never look at outside material it is especially good since it clarifies on key points in the story that had been missing previously. It also gives details on the new characters. Instead of being cinematic it goes back to the roots with art work and text boxes, but in this case you also have voice acting. It leaves a lot opened for the Story being added in June and Capcom has already absorbed me into it.

    Survival Mode - Instead of classic Arcade Mode for the single player experience, you get Survival Mode. It has four difficulty modes. Easy which has you go through 10 battles, Medium which has 30, Hard which has 50, and Hell which has 100. After each battle you can use some of your points to increase health or other stats. Double Down on the other hand is the opposite, spend a few points to take a hit in hopes of multiplying your score the next round. The overall focus of this is to get you used to not depending on the increases and instead improving each time so that you can finish with a higher score. Of course this is more about self improvement. Beating Easy will also unlock outfit color 3 for the outfit of the character you are using. Beating Medium will unlock 4-6 and Hard 7-10 and Hell unlocks a new Title.

    Training Mode - Best part about training mode on top of being able to set the CPU to whichever difficulty you prefer, you can now set it up so the AI has limited health. Meaning that you can train against the AI in a round base like format. This feature is really useful if you want to try and figure out how to beat your worst matchup with a character.

    VS Mode - Classic Player vs Player. Like in the old school games, no option to verse the CPU. An odd decision as all versions of Street Fighter IV had an option to do so.

    When connected to the Capcom Network completing Story Mode and all the Survival Modes gets you EXP and Fight Money. You actually get quite a bit from completing these modes despite a finite amount. I already have enough for the first 4 DLC characters and I have yet to finish all of Survival.

    One issue is if the online network loses connection, you do get kicked from the mode you are playing and have to start over if it is Survival. Story Mode featuring only two to four fights per character allows you to jump straight back in without any real concern. You also cannot earn EXP or FM offline.

    As it is now, I have yet to really stop playing this game. I have not done any ranked or casual online matches, but I have played a few rounds in the Battle Lounge. Online could still use improvements, but everyday it gets better and Capcom is watching and working hard to fix issues as they come. You can still play all the single player modes offline if the network is not stable.

    I really like the game as it is. Solid gameplay and a good amount of content. You have to want to improve to take full advantage of all the content offered, but that is true of any game out there, especially fighting games.

    March however is going to start adding more content. Alex can be gotten from the Store which will be open then for 100,000 FM or you can buy him roughly for $5.00. I recommend just completing Story Mode which only takes about 2 hours if you want the story. Only about 5 minutes if you skip the story and just do the fights. That will net you 160,000 FM and Alex is yours. Some recommend getting the Season Pass, but I am taking full advantage of the FM I can obtain from Single Player Modes. This also does not include FM gained from Challenges which unlocks next month and is also Free update to all players. In fact any game changing update is Free unlike the Street Fighter IV going into Super, AE and then Ultra. Meaning the first copy is the only copy you ever need to own. Plus all characters through future updates will be able to be bought with FM which is earned by playing the game. The better you get the more FM you can earn. Of course improving your game will be easier starting in March when you have access to the character Trials.

    Only one negative point for this game is that came not Arcade Mode for those who like to play offline and the lack of content in story mode, which will come after, promised by Capcom. The game is strategic convincing, a visual bonito of magic spells dazzling. But the online mode is very competitive and can fight with any gamer in the world.

    Not enough? Arcade mode, trials, and an expansive Story Mode will also be added in a title update for free in the future, so the game is in no shortage of single player content. Not now, and not in the future.

    Incase you are wondering why it sounds like the game was released "early", the answer is real simple. Capcom did it for the fans. They did it for the community. They released the game early so that people can get the practice in, and so people can participate in the Capcom Pro Tour and Evo.

    Worried about having to pay for new characters and costumes? Don't worry, all the "DLC" will be unlockable in-game without ever having to spend a dime, just like in the old PS2 days before DLC.

    This is a game that is going to be supported, both by capcom and the fans, for the next 6 to 7 years. You will never have to worry about the community dying on you.    … Expand

So, here are the positives for the    Hey, did you here that SF5 doesn't have a single player?!?!?!?!?!!?

    Sorry... I'm writing this review to balance out the idiocy. Capcom released plenty of information surrounding what modes would be available at launch and yet people act indignant because their online, multiplayer, fighting game didn't have a story-driven, single player mode. So, here are the positives for the prospective buyer. SF5 looks, plays and feels great. There are variety of characters with unique fighting styles and the net play I've experienced has been virtually lag-less.

    The V system is a huge improvement over SF4's focus attack. Ever try to explain the focus attack to someone who wasn't used to it? It would go something like this.

    "See, there is this focus attack thing. It absorbs one hit, from most attacks, and if you hold it long enough you can crumple your opponent. But never use it like that. Instead, use it, then cancel in order to pull off a more useful combo."

    The v-system is much easier to wrap your head around. Each character has a unique v-skill and v-trigger that covers a weakness of that character. Use your v-skill and it will build up you meter. When your meter is full, use your v-trigger to gain an advantage in the match, either by entering an empowered state or activating a unique, powerful move. It complements the flow of battle, rather then simply providing a complicated way to extend a combo.

    The combo system has also changed quite a bit. Unlike SF4, landing a light attack won't usually lead to high damage combo. But, if you manage to hit an opponent during a heavy or special attack, you'll trigger a crush counter, which will enable new combos and deal additional damage.

    Finally, Capcom announced that SF5 is the only version of the game that you'll have to purchase. For SF4, there were 4 iteration and you had to buy each if you wanted to keep up with the community. The $60 for SF5 is a steal by comparison. So yes, you're paying a little more up front this time, but it's the only time you'll need to and it will presumably be well worth it in the long run.

    However the next day things were better and on Monday they patched v1.0.1 and that seemed to have solved all the network problems. Since then I have been enjoying the game the way it is supposed to be played.

    I must say I was quite skeptical in the beginning but the game is really growing on me. First of all the depth of game play is pretty crazy all the characters seem to have a lot of depth and the Vskill and triggers are lots of fun. The combos are easier to make than is SF4 which is great because some combos were too hard on SF4.

The stills in the "story" mode almost make it feel a bit retro, the characters feel balanced and some of the clutter from Ultra Street Fighter 4 has been removed (I doubt I even played with over half the characters).

    Playing against other people is so much more fun that the AI and you pick up things playing against other opponents you may not discover in training mode, unless you want to spend hours watching other people play on YouTube - something I do not have the luxury of time to do.

    I have not experienced any issues with the servers personally - too busy with work the day of launch and during the week.. but every major online game these days tends to have server issues for the first few days. My experience so far has only been a minority of people quitting in the second or third round when the fight's not going their way.

    This weekend I spend £12 watching Deadpool for 2 hours, thoroughly enjoyed the film and it cost a hourly rate of entertainment of £6.

    Game started off ok, lots of issues but as time went on Capcom was able to fix a lot of the issues plaguing the issues by implementing a type of rage quit penalty, controller support for pc, story mode, more characters and stages and a balance update. The core gameplay is one of the funniest ever in a fighting game and I'm giving the score base on that specifically.

    Ok, I wish we could do this all over again, because the Critics and Users score inaccurately reflects the game in its current state. Since release we've seen 7 new characters, several new stages, balances tweaks, a cinematic story mode, weekly challenges, and a penalty system for rage quitters. All I would say is lacking is an Arcade mode, and better frame rate lag.

All I would say is lacking is an Arcade mode, and better frame rate lag. Once those would be implemented, this game is top notch in the fighting game genre now.....miles above what it was at initial release. At initial release I gave this around a 5-6 based on its fighting mechanics mainly, but now I give it a 9. After the season 2 characters and whatever else they improve in that time, I think it'd be smart to repackage and release a Super Street Fighter V or something so this game gets a fair shake for the public. Hopefully, Capcom will learn a lesson from this.… Expand

    The game has come a long way since its launch, and finally the excellent gameplay it always had now is completed nicely with the several additions that have been added to the game, from extra characters, modes and features. Definitely worth the buy as of June 2017.

    The reviews for this game are overly negative. I bought this game day one, and to be honest it want that great, but after the first new character? This game is already picking up fast. There is now a story mode and four new characters. The online and local multiplayer is fun. Oh before you freak out about the lack of an arcade mode it's called SURVIVALS.

    I overall disagree with the negative reception this game is getting. It could use a true story mode and overall more versus modes at launch, but considering how solid the game play is, and how consumer friendly the plan for dlc is, I honestly can't hold any of that against ono or capcom. I recommend it to any fighting game fan.

    SFV is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be! Its make games like MKX, Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd and Pokken look like Smash Bros AKA casual scrubs heaven.

    We don't need Arcade mode or other useless single player contents because AI are free to good players. People who need them are casual scrubs who can't get good.

"The industry wants to boost sales of games, the reviews are bought, yadda, yadda.." all very true. But, in this case, I agree with the magazine reviews much more than the independent reviews. These days, it seems to be popular to bash games for lack of content. I get it, and I agree. Content is lacking in many games, and sure, some content is missing in this game. The fact that there is no way to play the computer in an arcade mode is kind of inexcusable. I also don't understand why something as simple as the challenge mode wasn't available on launch day. But, cool. It all comes down to the fact that, in the end, none of this affects the game play, and Capcom is quickly releasing free content for the game. So.. be patient! What matters most is that the game play in this game is AMAZING. This is easily one of the best fighting games I've ever played in terms of actual game play, if not THE BEST. If Capcom put extra effort into developing the game play over content, I'm pretty sure I can forgive them. Game play is much more important. Games are massively harder to develop these days. Stop living in the past. When I was growing up in the 90's a new game was $50.00. That's pretty much equivalent to $80.00 in buying power in 2016. If Capcom needs to release some stuff for free later, and add some downloadable content that costs a little bit of money, I will forgive them. The important part is that the game play IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. Stop whining, stop giving unhonest "0" reviews, and enjoy this game. If you aren't enjoying it, then you are totally losing out, because actual game play-wise (the most important part of a game) this is hands down one of the best games currently on PS4.… Expand

    he fighting mechanic is amazing, it is accompanied with awesome looking visuals with stunning feedback of your actions, new V-Gauge system is quite a blast. For the the initial release the game has quite fundamental character roster, for all types of players. Yes, the game has a lack of usual for fighting games features like trials and proper story mode, but the game is competitive.

    This game was made for the middle tier and high tier players of fighting games, not for those that wanted a big story mode, MKX filled that market niche.

    With seasonal balances, old fightstick compatibility, and lots of options for training, the game is a solid fighter to add to the stable of Street Fighter. If that's not what your looking for then there are plenty of other games out there.    … Expand

    My biggest complaint with this game is the servers. I have fast internet, yet gameplay on the servers can be somewhat laggy and it seems they are constantly going through maintenance. I personally think user reviews on this site are overly critical. Capcom appears to be constantly making improvements to this game by expanding character costumes, stages, the roster of fighters, as well as adjustments to balance out strengths and weaknesses of the various characters.

    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.
