    It started really.......really bad, just some nice designs here and there, but nothing awesome, but the game evolved pretty well during the years, to the point at i really wanted to playing after a hard day at work, it deserves a good score.

    SFV has become an incredible fighter since its flat launch. With updates aplenty and refinements. Champion edition launches this month. Grab it. 40 characters 36 stages, various music etc. It's now a premier fighting game. Looks and sounds amazing.

    Yes but I am really bad. Are there any similar fighting games? Its a Street Fighter game, it feels a lot like Third Strike which has a lot of people excited. Favorite character to use? I like Rashid, my one complaint is his V-Trigger, is slow so I would catch people jumping in on me but it would take so long to come out, I would get punished almost every time.    Was it fun?

    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.

    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 is a reason why this game has won multiple awards for "Fighting Game of the Year" and why people throughout the world play this game constantly - playing for fun and competing to be the best!    … Expand

    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

    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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

Everyone knew content was being rolled out and was provided with the schedule, so how can you buy the Game and complain that you are waiting for content. If you had a brain you would have waited until the content you were hoping for was released buy it then, and have nothing to complain about. I am very happy for the early release as its a great game! and when the story is rolled out, I will be even happier, which is one month away. Stop whining people, the only thing you are achieving is stopping fans of games from getting early access. Which in this scenario means the game would be released in October!!… 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

    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.
