Street Fighter 5 wants you to have fun. It is fully aware of just how much giddy, gratifying, intelligent, enriching enjoyment it conta...

As inviting, accessible, and explorable as Street Fighter has ever been, Genuinely endless fun in local vs; multiplayer, New systems bring down the learning hurdles

Very limited single-player content at launch; Online performance is highly inconsistent

In my nine years of reviewing video games professionally, I've never wanted to not score a game as much as I do for Street Fighter V . For all intents and purposes, this launch version of Street Fighter V is as ready to be reviewed in full as an Early Access game on Steam.

Robust fighting system that rewards skill; V-Skills; V-Triggers; V-Reversals; Satisfactory roster so far; Strong training options; Survival mode; Generally smooth online performance

Story Mode is an afterthought; No Arcade mode or Versus CPU option; Minor clipping issues; Tags

The story has never really taken the forefront in the Street Fighter franchise and Street Fighter V is definitely not going to be bucking that trend – at least not yet. The game takes place between the events of Street Fighter III and the more recently released Street Fighter IV – giving Capcom more...

1 - Would I recommend this to people Yes of course, it's street fighter through and through. 2 - Would I purchase this product again No, two copies of the same game won't help me against really good players. Must train more. 3 - The only thing I would change is the exclusivity deal.

I will get right to the point; If you like the street fighter series, get it; It's fun and when it works well it is a blast to play; It does feel bare bones at the moment, but getting a fighting game early will help master the mechanics and have a head up over those late to the party.

The cons however are considerable right now; The game feels bare; It is plagued with server issues, but appear to be improving compared to how things felt on launch day; I recommend playing casual matches online as sometimes results cannot be uploaded to the server after a match.

When Street Fighter V is at its best, it's untouchable. A fantastic fighter with layer upon layer of depth. At its worst, it feels hollow and cheap. A work in progress that hasn't quite managed to complete the parts that are there.

I have had a week of tearing my beard hair out. I have been waiting a long time for Street Fighter V (SFV) , but this isn't what I was waiting for. Not by a long shot. The fighting itself, the actual game part that, by most people's standards at least, is all that really matters, is amazing.

Beautiful game | Amazing combat systems

Lack of content | Server issues

Capcom has released Street Fighter V for PS4 and PC. The new release marks the next generation in martial arts fighting games with free content continuously being released all the time. Let's check it out!

It seems as though Capcom primarily targeted the hardcore, competitive Street Fighter players, rather than casual fans, like myself. While I'll certainly delve online here and there, I'm not nearly good enough to go up against the hardcore SF players that occupy that space on a daily basis.

Let's get the visuals out of the way first, as they're easily one of the game's best assets; This is a gorgeous game; From the individual character animations and costumes, to the breathtaking background environments, this game is a looker, I'm no Street Fighter or fighting game veteran, but even I...

Upon the game's first boot up, it will force players into a tutorial, that teaches everything from movement to performing basic combos; While it can be helpful to new players, the fact that it's forced might be off-putting for fighting game veterans.

You might have heard that the launch version of Street Fighter V lacks an arcade mode, a fighting-game standard that gives players the opportunity to go best-out-of-three rounds with the computer and hone their skills through trial and error.

We don't doubt that Street Fighter 5 will be more than it is today at some point, and it may not even take long to get there. The most important skeletal elements of a strong fighting game are here, and they set the stage for a fighter that should have the legs to carry it years down the road.
