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

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

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

    Great game overall combat is amazing the art style and visuals are amazing the execution is overall great....but... the arcade mode is missing...online so far is **** cause the servers are always down or just not working well but im sure that will be fixed in time. that being said its a great game overall and u should pick it up in my opinion

    Bueno,en si guarda su gran experiencia con sus mecánicas y diversión (me trae recuerdos a Daigo Umehara),el Single player para mi esta bien,pero lo que no me puedo explicar es pagar 65 dolares para un juego en el cual vivo toda la experiencia en 20 horas,y cuando quiero jugar en linea me tira muchos errores,se quedo muy corto en ese aspecto,espero que mejoren.

    Without Blanka, Sagat, an Arcade & Single player mode SFV is an incomplete online crap,I can't believe what Crapcom did this time, by the way online mode sucks ..!
    This game not worth 60 dollars at all.

    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 a Beta game, you pay to much to play a little battles, its pure garbage! pure trash. Don´t buy this "game", capcom just want your money, nothing more. Can you believe NO ARCADE MODE??? what? this is amazing.

    - 16 chars, srsly ? MKX started with 24. SF4Ultra got 44 chars and Naruto got 100. Yes, number of chars in fighting game is important thing.
    - Just one Super Combo in game per char. It gets boring realy quick and human opponent know what to expect from You after combo bar is full.
    - No Arcade Mode...Yes, i like to finish my fighting games on UBER HARD difficulty without having to watch cliche storylines.
    - Story Mode is so easy it takes You literaly THREE MINUTES to complete on some chars...also, its so childish I cant play it when my gf is in home. Its not even old school "cliche" wanna be childish. Its just BAD joke. Cartoon Network cartoons got more depth in them then this. I understand its made for japanese "kawai" players, but I cant stand so much hello kitty in my go to fighting game.
    - Boobes... usually I dont have anything against the BOOBES... but they made them look so cartonish and totally over the top Im ashamed of myself playing this.
    - Early Acces title.

    This is just a poorly made game. It is not alright to try and sell an incomplete game for full price. Besides the fact that it has practically no single player mode and a terrible online experience. This is a serious step down in quality and gameplay from past cap com titles.

    The adaptability of the engine to nearly any spec of computer within the last 5+ years while still delivering 60 frames is amazing. Granted doing so can make the game go from a 4k masterpiece to looking like it was built for the Atari 2600, but it will still deliver 60 frames if you try to install it on a potato.

    Unfortunately Capcom has totally failed to properly test this game. It is

    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

    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.

    The online mode works good 2 days after release. The new 4 fighters laura, necalli, rashid and f.a.n.g, are great. It has a catchy soundtrack and nice graphics. Sure it has less to offer contentwise at the moment. Also it is a shame that there is no arcade mode in it from the start. It' s undeniable that 60 bugs are much for just a few basic game modes.

    Singleplayer is essentially playing 3 matches with each character on easy mode. Just button mashed through each opponent.
    -Broken Multiplayer, disconnections, lag, not being able to even connect
    -Terrible graphics and art work style. Some bad ass characters like bison just look ridiculous.

    Crapcom chit the bed. Show them what you think by not buying this.
    Also look at the critic reviews, the rating just shows you how bs their reviews are, make your voice heard as we have to show these critics and game devs we are not idiots.

    This game looks and plays great. Awesome graphics and smooth controls. However, there is nothing to play at all. I spent hours trying to play people in the games network, and probably played three matches that lasted less then 2 minutes each. This game would be great if there was a game to play. Worst money ever spent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Really Capcom? An Arcade game without an arcade mode?? oriented for online playing? just 16 players? no history mode? 59,90€?? Where back in Super Street Fighter II era, but at least that one wasn't as expensive as SFV... and at last but not least it's laggy online.... clap clap clap Capcom, you're perverting your most iconic sagas and for sure it will have bad consequences in the future...

    This is a shell of a game, no arcade mode and the "story" mode is a complete joke (no cool cinematics, just images with voice over.) Do not buy Street Fighter 5, wait for a super or ultra edition!

    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.

    I will give this a Zero.
    Here is what you can do with the game as of now: Play online (when it works) play survival. (which for some reason is also online)
    Everything else is missing from the game. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME at this point since you will be getting almost nothing for $60. I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit at some point because of this. False Advertisement?

    Great game for what is there although I admit I have had some online issues, any other game this would be normal for launch week but when the game pretty much doesent have much to do unless you play online its not good.

    I feel like I have paid full price For a Beta which i unacceptable in my eyes the sad thing is Capcom will get away with this as will other companys in the future.

    It's a shame a game like this be released that way. Lousy job of Capcom. Few characters , no story mode without arcade and online that does not work . The tests in various Betas not serve for anything.

    most multiplayer games come out like this. Always lacking in content. The graphics and game play is good. although for $60? i think the price is too much for what we get in the game. Few Characters/Fighters in the game doesn't help at all. Story mode could have been better. Seems they did not hire writers for the game.
