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!… Expand

    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 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.

So, with the exception of the survival mode, there is no game here. I read that they may add an arcade mode. Gee, what a thought! Just like every other fighting game released on home consoles in the past 25 years! A good story mode is coming out, in June! I'm typing this in February. I think by June I would have been playing something else. God, what were these idiots thinking!?

    This game is not complete. Do NOT purchase until they have at least included an Arcade Mode! Anything you unlock, CANNOT BE ACCESSED until the Capcom Store update comes in March. The game also only comes with 16 characters, and is a massive step down from SFIV (although the gameplay is arguably better). This is a glaringly weak and bare-bones game when compared to MKX, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear Xrd.

    I'm opting to take the time to write this review in the hopes people will not be fooled by others who give this game a good review.

    I've been playing fighting games for most of my life. I keep up with every gens fighting games, whether it be watching or playing them myself. I can say with no real hyperbole that SFV is absolutely one of the worst fighting games ever made. There's so much wrong with it that I don't even know if I can accurately sum it all up.

    This is a game designed with no care, love or heart at all. It was designed to make E-Sports money and that's about it. As a result, gameplay is severely dumbed down and simplistic, the only strategy employable being brain dead rush down. Even characters like Dhalsim and Guile, previously very strong zoners/keep away characters are reduced to rush down tactics simply because it's the only effective strategy. This wouldn't be so bad if characters had any real defensive options but all there is is V-Reversal which imo, isn't particularly effective nor worth spending half the time since your V-Trigger is a huge part of your kit.

    V-Trigger is also a terrible mechanic. It's like they looked at X Factor from MVC3 and said "How can we make this wildly inconsistent?" Some people have incredibly strong v-Skills and others might as well not even have them period.

    Normal strikes have incredibly stubby hitboxes as well as lacking in active frames. There is also a total lack of close normals and the neutral game just feels entirely random. This whole game feels entirely random and inconsistent.

    Capcom has also taken the time to neuter every character and make them all feel incredibly boring. There's not a bit of freedom of in this game whatsoever. I've played First Person shooters with less linear gameplay. You basically guess on every knockdown. Do they throw? Do a meaty attack? Or do they throw bait? That's it.

    Everything in SFV feels like its been tested extensively. No combos, meaties, pressure, resets or knockdowns that Capcom doesn't approve of. If this was Capcom years and years ago this might result in something good but unfortunately, not. This is the Capcom that thought DMC: DMC and Dead Rising 4 were acceptable games.

    They also put a root kit in the PC version at a point. It was removed but I feel like this isn't something you can't just ignore. They willingly jeopardized your computers safety because they were stupid enough to put colors behind survival mode.

    Colors being locked behind survival mode is also just assinine. To unlock colors for your characters, you have to slog through survival mode. 10, 30 and 50 matches a piece for every character and costume you want colors for. I guess now you can use Fight Money to unlock them but am I crazy in feeling like I should be able to earn them in some non idiotic way? Like, pushing a different button? Or by just playing a character in arc...Oh wait, Arcade isn't in this game. Still. For some reason. Don't worry though, plenty of SFV turbonerds will tell you that that's ok. You shouldn't have an utterly basic feature in your game. A feature that's been in existence since, oh, I don't know, Street FIghter 1?

    Netcode is also still atrocious. A 5 Bar connection is not consistent at all. One fight it could be perfect, another you get a ton of roll back.

    There's also artistic problems with this game. Some of the 2d art is absolutely terrible (See Lauras pinched torso in story mode or Pregnant NecallI) For alternate skins, Ibuki doesn't pull her mask down like she does in her default. Guile also combs his hat in his 30th anniversary skin and clipping is a constant. Even on the select menu. This typically isn't a problem for me but when its right in my face, I take issue with it.

    S2 DLC characters are also a waste. Kolin, Ed and Abigail are incredibly boring and dull. Menat is exciting but if I'm being honest, it's just because she's fetish fuel. Costume distribution is also entirely out of whack. Birdie and Fang still only have their default 3. Guarantee Menat gets one before both of them.

    This game is also a cancer that is slowly rotting the FGC from the inside out. Attendence at events is down across the board because of this game. It killed the Excellent Adventures of Gootecks and Mike Ross. Barely any YT channesl survived the transition from 4 to 5. That's how bad this game is. Its bringing everything down with it.

    I hope if you read this review, you'll sincerely consider playing literally any other fighting game. Play Tekken. Play Injustice. Play Guilty Gear or Blazblue. Play Arikas new fighting game. Play DBZF. Play Dong Dong Never Die. Play near anything else instead of SFV. Don't make the same mistake I did and think this game was going to be good. It's not and no Super Update will save it.

    It was **** day 1 and it's still **** now. Don't buy or play this game. It's utter fetid garbage. Play anything else.    … Expand

The hype leading to the next iteration of Street Fighter is upon us. Unfortunately, Capcom has severely destroyed and broke gamers hearts with this release. First and foremost, SFV is lacking significantly in content and that is an understatement. No Arcade, No gallery, No ladder, Online is currently broken, REQUIRES INTERNET CONNECTION TO EARN XP AND CAPCOM CURRENCY. Which is big considering that ONLINE is broken. Additionally, Story mode is 4 matches long and the cutscenes are longer than the actual matches. This is due to the cpu setting which is on EASY, and there is no ADJUSTING the DIFFICULTY. So I ask, WHAT IS WORTH 60 bucks?? Not this PRE access game with only 16 playable characters, and I believe eight stages. Now, when we see a limited amount of characters, one would believe that each character would have depth. Unfortunately, the characters are very bare-bones as well. Newcomers are short on specials and each character has ONE SPECIAL ART. I am not sure if more special arts are unlocked but at this current stage of the game, that is it. One positive note, is the graphics. While only slightly better than SFIV, it does possess some upgrades. It is terrible that such a revered franchise has been done so wrong and what is even worse, CAPCOM AND SONY were behind this. What was SONY thinking to see this game go GOLD and say "Hey, this is great! Lets release it!" And on top of that, Critic reviews MAKES NO SENSE!! How can these critics say this game is anything above ONE, when everything about this game is shallow and broken. I am truly disappointed in CAPCOM AND SONY ANNNND CRITICS for their negligence in releasing this title and reviewing it so high. As a REAL REVIEWER, I stand by the gamers and say wait six months until most of the content is released then pick it up at a reduced price. I doubt with this type of poor User input, the game will have legs. On my final note, I do not recommend this product CURRENTLY.

Controls feel nice, music is enjoyable, and characters look amazing, even if they do sometimes phase through their own clothes. All of the pieces are there for this to be one of the biggest fighting games out there. Instead, it's one ofStreet Fighter V is a good game. I mean that at the basest level, because there isn't much content to talk about as of today. The gameplay is excellent. Controls feel nice, music is enjoyable, and characters look amazing, even if they do sometimes phase through their own clothes. All of the pieces are there for this to be one of the biggest fighting games out there. Instead, it's one of the smallest. As a disclaimer, I understand that Capcom has stated that they'll be bringing a bunch of content to the game over the coming years, and I am looking forward to that, but I'm not reviewing their promises for future content, I'm reviewing the game that they shipped out.

    With my experience with fighting games over the years, there are a handful of things I've come to expect when it comes to content. Namely, two of those things are an arcade mode and a versus mode. SFV has half of one of these things. There is no real arcade mode. There is a "story mode" where you get to enter a handful of fights peppered with sometimes passable art explaining why the characters are fighting. You may notice that with all of these, it's something they could've had one minute long cutscene explaining it at the beginning, and then a proper arcade mode. As to versus mode, like I said, it's half there. If you happen to have a friend who lives nearby who also likes fighting games, you're fine. But if you aren't so lucky or just want to practice bouts against a single character, you're out of luck, because there is no player versus computer function. I find it weird that there is no way to actually properly fight the computer. You never enter an actual match with the computer, and that just seems backwards. Even the worst, ugliest, most broken fighting games have had arcade modes and pvc functionality. It feels weird saying that Street Fighter of all things, is missing it.

    Outside of the lackluster story mode, there is also survival mode, which is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I really enjoyed the challenge of fighting an onslaught of opponents on one life, occasionally getting boosts to go on. My only issue is that I've occasionally gotten 20-30 rounds in, and the servers decide to collectively eat the dirt, and I'm booted from the game. I then have to reconnect, and start all over. Or, as is the case with certain characters, you only fight them at the very end, with a stronger cpu level. But you don't have any experience fighting these characters in proper fights because the only way you could even try to emulate this is in training because there is no pvc mode in versus.

    A small point to make, I'm talking about this game almost a week after it's come out. I'm being nice and not reviewing the day one experience, because there wasn't one. Like I mentioned, even to this day I still get dropped by the servers. On day one it was a miracle to stay connected for longer than ten minutes. Now this would be fine if there wasn't a baffling requirement to be connected online to use any mode outside of training, or else you get no rewards for it. So basically, people like me who were suckered into buying this game out the gate had actually purchased a glorified training mode with a versus mode if you had a friend nearby. But as I said, not reviewing the day one experience, but that was something I wanted to mention.

    I will say that now that the game's online connections have stabilized, Street Fighter V is a much more enjoyable game. Online matches are tons of fun, and I do enjoy the survival mode now that the hanging threat of disconnection isn't looming over me. But this game isn't done. This game feels like an EA game, which makes my skin crawl having to say that about any other company. It's a skeleton of a game with good promise and visuals, but quality over quantity only works so well, and things being released further down the line don't make the original game a tiny, incomplete experience. Speaking optimistically, I hope that Capcom fixes this. I hope that they add in a proper arcade mode patch in pvc for the versus mode, and to apologize to early adopters for such a pathetic release to a game they've hyped into the atmosphere, they release some of the DLC this year for free. Hopefully if that comes to pass, my score will jump up maybe 2-4 points and bring this into the green. But just like I said before, Street Fighter V is a good game, and that's it.

    Pros
    -great visuals and music
    -enjoyable characters and gameplay
    -strong multiplayer components

    Cons
    -barebones features
    -heavy reliance on upcoming content
    -disappointing single player experience    … Expand

    Sigh. Capcom has gone and ruined street fighter. The game feels like a demo. 12 fighters!? And a bunch of modes are absent. Online mode isn't working. Story mode is a joke. I cant even write anything more because there is no game here. Its a blatant ripoff. Insert expletive here @ capcom. I want a refund. Dont buy this game. Wait il its $10 or less in the clearance bin. Or free on PS plus.

    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

    They forgot to put the game in the game. There's nothing there! Buy buy gaming industry, because with all the zombies walking around nowadays this is going to be commonplace. I mean games are released broken all the time, but this isn't only broken, three fourths of game isn't even there! One small step for corporate greed, and one giant leap for screwing everyone!

    Being a huge Street Fighter fan this game was a major let down. For starters there was a day one patch that weighed in just under 6GB. This was supposedly to add new modes.

Well im not sure what they added because there's so little content to begin with. No arcade more, a tacked on story mode which consist of a few boring still-shot intermissions and about 3 fights. Each character has one, but each won't take you more then 5-6 minutes to beat. Even then you'll spend more time watching the intermissions then anything. Then next we have a tacked on survival mode, and your standard training mode.

    So I figure i'd try the game online in hopes that its better, but wait, I can't. the game gives me a tough time connecting to servers to begin with and refuses to even connect to any matches. So I go back to the Story mode and decide to test a few characters. After each fight the game gave me a message saying I was disconnected from the server and I couldn't earn some kind of points or experience or whatever.

    About the only thing positive I can say about this game are that the graphics are really nice. However Capcom even managed to screw these up. Although its not too noticeable in screenshots, the game has some rather ugly shadowing on the characters. If you've ever played an old Sega Saturn back in the mid 90s you may remember the screen-door transparencies. Well Capcom seems to be a fan of these since they used them here too. While they do look a lot smoother then anything off the Saturn, it still looks downright ugly for a PS4 game and takes away from the rest of the graphics.

    In the end this game was a waste of $60. If you don't own it already, invest in Ultra Street Fighter 4 on any other platform instead. You'll get far more content, deeper gameplay and an online that actually works. Of course the PS3 still has the slightly annoying input lag, but at least the game is playable in online and offline modes.    … Expand

    I'm a huge fan of the SF series since the original SF2. As soon as I saw the release trailer with Ryu and Chun-Li, I wanted to buy the game. I pre-ordered this game to pre-load it.

I said to myself, well that happens all the time, I'll give it some time. The next day I try again, this time I can log into the servers but I have to create a unique name (for some reason you can't use eternal, aeternalis, or any derivative of Eternal, just 'cause. I tried names I know people would have for sure and it gave another error. So for some reason, it doesn't allow you to pick even the most mundane names)

    After that got resolved, matchmaking didn't work. Casual, Ranked, or Battleroom, all three didn't work. Tried the story mode (it's super thin and the AI sucks). Then, tried arcade, doesn't work out since you can't play against the CPU?

    Ono (creator) says that he wanted to focus his efforts entirely on matchmaking and netcode because having a good foundation is key to a fighting game nowadays. I agree entirely. However, if SFV is to be judged by that standard, his whole team failed the three years he's been working on it.

    What pisses me off the most is that they're going to fix it and call it Super Street Fighter V next year.

    First game I ever wrote a review about and asked for a steam refund.

    An incomplete game, a lot of features missing and no real story mode either. Seems this is a beta released for $70. Total rip off, wait few years once the complete SFV comes out and it might be worth $40.

    Second biggest issues are the servers on PS4, they are crap and crash like crazy.

    -Rest of the characters being sold as extra DLC, one coming in a month proving he's already finished, cut content (which you can also use earned fight money to buy, but grinding for it will take forever)
    -New costumes cost $6 (This is more than entire characters in other fighters)
    -Story mode costumes that you use aren't even unlockable - you have to wait until later when you can buy them in the store

    Final Thoughts: This game is basically online only, which is the same thing Titanfall and Battlefront got criticized for. If you don't have reliable internet, there's scarcely any single player content here for you.

    Capcom strikes again. Would request a refund but GMG won't give them after they give out keys.

    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.
