    Despite a rough first day the game is working perfectly now. Don't get too caught up in the negativity dog pile, the game is silky smooth and the online is the best ever seen in a fighting game.

    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.

    It's the most fun I have had playing Street Fighter since Super Street Fighter 2 on my SNES.

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. I have already had 10 hours worth of entertainment out of Street Fighter V as the gameplay and online has been so enjoyable - so it's already working out better value for money.. £3.80 a hour and it will only get cheaper over time..    … 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.

    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.

    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

    Is the single player lacking? Yes, who cares. The multiplayer is solid, and that's what fighting games are for. Not to mention this game is going to be supported fir a while, with new characters, game modes, and more. If you wantto play Street Fighter, then yes, pick this game up.

    The servers are also working now, so that's a plus.

    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.

    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.
