    Do not buy this game as of now. There is virtually no single player content because the bulk of the game takes place online (PvP multiplayer).

You would think that Capcom would ensure a solid connection for players and no connection issues because of this. But no! The game's online DOES NOT WORK!!! Capcom keeps saying that they've fixed the problem (I've lost count of how many times they've come up with BS on their twitter account in response to player complaints) and yet most people are STILL having server issues. Another problem with the game is that it does not punish rage-quitters. If a person quits before the game has a chance to record the result, this result does not count - either for the winner or loser, which totally sucks. The game really does feel like a half-finished product that was rushed to release. Shame on Capcom for this and shame on the reviewers (IGN - I'm looking at YOU!) who mislead their readers into thinking that they were getting a game that worked when they parted with their hard earned $60!

    The game has terrible online servers. A small roster. And it has no story or arcade mode. The game is also extremely slow paced. The graphics are not up to par.

    Un juego que no vale ni para adornar la estantería.

    Es injugable y no tiene modo offline.

    Recomiendo el ULTRA SF IV o el Guilty Gear xrd.

    Un saludo.

    The combat in this game is enjoyable, but the little mini single player stories aren't that good and are very short.

I've already put this game down after just a day of playing it, at least until some more of the content is released. Once it is perhaps I will revise my score. Until then, I recommend waiting to purchase this game. Expand

    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.

    Un early access que no funciona. El "singleplayer" es nulo, pocos personajes, sin MODO ARCADE, sin historia (aunque venga en un par de meses). Centrado en el multijugador i es injugable, muy mal planteado. Una pena porque su jugabilidad y artísticamente pintaba bién.

    jogo faltando conteúdo, servidor offline, quando online ouve quedas de fps, aceleração do personagem e travadas, promessas para o futuro, aumento de preço na véspera do lançamento, querem o dinheiro para fazer o jogo, querem fazer o jogo com o dinheiro do usuário e ainda cobram a mais por isso, zero mesmo !!

    Absolute pile of trash. Unfinished, missing characters and modes. This game has no legs to stand on for the future updates. Capcom is deluded if they think that it will sell. They underestimated the market, and I hope this will be their last time doing it...

    No arcade mode. Tons of bugs. Took back my rental in protest. All these companies are forcing multiplayer on us in order to provide more reasons for us to purchase additional content. They don't want you to have single player, or story mode, or basically any sort of offline play. We need a revolution!!

    This is all your faults!! Everyone HAS to have these games day of release.

    This isn't a complete game. Have to be logged in for Single Player. I got kicked off the server in SINGLE PLAYER modes. No arcade. Was lucky enough to get my $65 back from GameStop because the guy felt so bad about my disappointment.

    this is an insult, it is not even close to a finished game, is just a base to put content, it will be " acceptable " if the cost was like 15$ but for a fighting game, without single player and no campaign yet, it is an insult to the comsumer.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME; Is a complete scam, Online game is alway crashing, matchmaking is a headache, and maybe you think "oh I can play offline" well theres no OFF LINE GAME MODES only survival mode, really really boring because you fight a 100 time the same 16 characters over and over, no story mode.

    Great mechanics, great characters, great game-play...
    But offline mode is so sad, the highest level in survival mode is so easy, you could finish story mode with all the characters in 3 hours.
    The on-line doesn't work as I expect in a game focused in this mode. The only way to really enjoy this game is playing locally with friends. In few words: Early access game with price of full

    You had one job capcom, don't make this game awful. What we got was a broken game with half the content missing, there was a time that a game company had to release a full game because there was no way to add more content, but now with patches and dlc greedy companies are able to make what ever bs game they want.

    si buscas el juego en amazon no encuentras ninguna calificacion por parte de los medios ni nada por el estilo , solo al usuario que califica con 1 ya que no se puede poner 0, lo peor es que en pokken tournament tienen que poner cuna calificacion sercana a 7 para vender algo cuando en realidad merece como minimo un 9

    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.

    I know this game will be updated. But my score won't change. Its an average title. Get Mortal Kombat XL - its out now, complete, fun, polished, entertaining, lots of different characters, modes etc. My oppinion is that SF5 will never be better than MKX was at launch.
    And for fans of Street Fighters franchese - I really dont see so much improvement from SF4 (super ultra freekin turbo

This is the first time that the game while getting new number in main series didnt improved. SF5 is to SF4 what SF Alpha was to SF2. Which is not much, especially for this price.

    Un juego con un online deficiente, sin modo arcade y su salida sin modo historia marcaron un inicio bastante malo para este Street Fighter 5. Despues de 5 meses de su salida,lanzaron un DLC gratuito con el modo historia que es bastante malo,pudiendo omitir TODOS los combates.
    No voy a hablar de los DLC ya que son malos y caros.

I can't believe critics are kissing on this boring game:( .What really kicks it to a 2 is that now EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO PAY 30$ SEASON PASS FOR NEW CHARACTERS AND STAGES BUT I PAID 60$ AT LAUNCH GIVE ME ALL THE CHARATERS NOT GRIND FIGHT MONEY (Yes that's another way to get the extra stages and characters) TO UNLOCK THEM GREDDY BUISSNESS PRACTICE STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT IF YOU ARE A CASUAL FIGHTING GAMER :(

    -Nice fighting styles especially with the v-trigger
    -Nice graphics

  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.
