    All of the "0" reviews are really disappointing. Gamers constantly argue that magazines are giving them fraudulent reviews for games.

"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.

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.    … Expand

    With this new update and new characters I'd say this game is shaping up nicely. I find myself playing this hours on end even though I keep getting wrecked. The new cinematic story mode was pretty fun and I hope to see more, as well as more characters and costumes.

    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.

    O jogo é bom, afinal, é Street Fighter, pelo menos na caixa. Chega a ser lamentável a ausência de um modo arcade e o jogo praticamente te forçar a comprar personagens. Pelo menos temos a opção de jogar com alguns personagens clássicos de novo.

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.    … 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

    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

    Sacar el juego en esas condiciones fue vergonzoso. Sin luchadores ni modos de juego, que posteriormente ya te irán sableando año a año.

    Easily the worst and most boring sf game in the entire series.
    The graphics look so bad its like something out of a childs fairytale book.
    The actual gameplay itself is soo weak boring and tedious as well, not even close to as good as sf4.

    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.

    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!"    … 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.
