    The game is not completed. Feels like its a demo.

    Obs: All GAMES reviews in this site of actual PLAYERS versus the "professinal critics" have a huge difference!! Why is that? The "critics" review is totally out of place.

    So, what am I missing here? Someone is getting paid to review broken games???? I wonder.

    sad sad sad... Street Fighter doesnt deserve this kind of bad joke made videogame, no arcade mode with The King of the Arcades... its a complete nosense. And well... completely implayable in online? I dont understand the press scores.

    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.

I tell myself ok let see if there is an arcade mode..... NO? Ok then I will try to connect to the servers again.. Wow, I'm online. Let's find a fight. Searching for opponent and disconnected from server messages was all I found.

    Well now, I have some game currency to spend from my "story" mode play. Let's check out the store... I'm sure there are some crazy day one bonuses, maybe skins to buy and of course micro transaction,

    Well, STORE MODE IS COMING IN MARCH!

    YES, THERE IS NO STORE TO SPEND YOUR IN GAME CURRENCY. And no micro transactions? Well that's normally a good thing BUT this was when I finally admitted to myself that this game was about 50% complete on launch.

    Of course, I can get no refund for the game. On the bright side my fightstick works for other games that I own that were not kicked out the door 8 months early.

    PS, In 6 hours, I was connected to one match. After two rounds that;s it. No rematch or followup fights with the opponent. Nope you get kicked back to the title screen to wait for it to find you another match. Let me know when they add the game to this game mechanics demonstration. UGH

    Imagine doing this while streaming, talk about an anticlimactic stream.

    And damn you PSN for no refunds... You are just as guilty as Capcom.    … Expand

    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?    I will give this a Zero.

    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.

    No Arcade mode? 10$ extra to play multiplayer? What?

    In case you are wondering, the "story mode" for each character is four single round (easy difficulty) fights. The "Cutscenes" in the story mode are a handful of medium quality drawings that are reused several times.

    PSN doesn't offer refunds, I feel like I've been robbed.

    Street Fighter. Ahh, good old memories. One versus one in a fight against your friends (or should i say, rivals?). Glory for the winner and enless humiliation for the loser. Now, over 25 years later, with the release of Street Fighter V, we are all on the losing side.

    The gameplay is fun (i took part on the first two official Beta Tests) and there is much new to discover in the game    Street Fighter. Ahh, good old memories. One versus one in a fight against your friends (or should i say, rivals?). Glory for the winner and enless humiliation for the loser. Now, over 25 years later, with the release of Street Fighter V, we are all on the losing side.

    The gameplay is fun (i took part on the first two official Beta Tests) and there is much new to discover in the game mechanic. The look and animations are great. The backrounds are interesting and they have all little details which looks great. So, why do i complain? Seems all fine so far. Well, not quite._.

    First, the lack of singleplayer content . There is a Story mode, with really easy three till four fights for each character. Before and after every fight, you can see only a drawn picture, which explains the story. Then we have the Survival mode, where you can fight opponent after opponent, until your live bar hits zero. Before the next fight starts, you can select one booster which helps you or increases the score (with a little drawback) for your next fight. That's all. Nothing more for Singleplayer at the current state of the game. There are plans for future content, but that will take a while, until then, you can only fight the dummy in training mode or a local friend.

    Now the online part. At the moment, it is not possible to make quick matches. It takes up to three minutes between the matches (i've played 100 approximately so far), if you are one of the "choosen ones", from what i read so far you can't even join a match. Speaking of online part. In order to earn Fight money (which allows you to buy costumes, characters later this year, yes you read right, the shop is not aviable now), you have to be online. The problem is, you get a lot of dissconnets and don't earn anything during the time you are not connected.

    My conclusion, buy the game in june or july, when most of the content is released, if you are willing to spend a lot of time grinding for fight money to buy everything for free. Let's be honest that's how it will be at the end. Capcom made a great job and washes down another franchise in the drain. Try to make as much money as possible with Street Fighter Capcom. You will need it later.    … Expand

I wish I could get a refund but like an idiot I pre-ordered this game digitally and Sony don't refund.

    This is even more of a dissapointment than Starwars Battlefront. I mean there is nothing to do in this game, there's no modes whatsoever after your 5 minutes of story content. No arcade at all and you can earn in-game credits by playing people online which doesn't even work for me to use in the shop mode that hasn't even been included in the game. This comes out at a later date. There isn't even that many characters, there's half of the selection of the good old days of streetfighter! Most of my favorite characters are completely missing which of course will be another £30 DLC to get the rest of the game.

I have no idea how Capcom could mess this up, but I don't have local multiplayer available on my disc. I emailed Capcom Unity, and they told me that (around) 5% of all PS4 copies of the game have a glitch that won't allow the user to access the local multiplayer. So what does that mean for me? Well, my roommate and I are pretty much unable to play the game. The online has been spotty, there's no arcade mode, and there's no local multiplayer (for us), until Capcom puts out a patch. They (Capcom) told us to "hang tight", and that they would fix the local multiplayer glitch during the big June update. Supposedly the PC version doesn't have the local VS multiplayer glitch, so I definitely got screwed and bought the worst version of an incomplete, bad game. Avoid this game like the plague, Capcom should be a shamed of themselves. Anyone who gives this game a 10 has to be working for Capcom.… Expand

    Street Fighter takes on its 5th iteration in its main series but the bare bones content horrible online play, Censorship and DLC plans keep it from being the best around.

    Story: NO SPOILERS The official story mode is not in the game at this time instead it will be free in a patch in the future but every character has a small story like arc in arcade mode, these give backstories to some    Street Fighter takes on its 5th iteration in its main series but the bare bones content horrible online play, Censorship and DLC plans keep it from being the best around.

    Story: NO SPOILERS The official story mode is not in the game at this time instead it will be free in a patch in the future but every character has a small story like arc in arcade mode, these give backstories to some characters as well , for some the stories are hit or miss but i found a few enjoyable

    Gameplay: With Street Fighter 5 they have revamped the combat system to make every fighter unique and different, and they have finally removed all of the copy and paste fighters to help that process, Each fighter has a unique V trigger skill help every fighter in a certain way either by power up your regular attacks or setting up a bigger combo, overall its seems easier to get into then street fighter 4.

    Performance/Bugs/Graphics: On the performance side of things it can be a train wreak sometimes, Lag can be game breaking to the point of flinging the controller across the room or as gently as a baby's bum its random at times but its mostly horrible, I cant see how this is even possibly with how many betas the game had before its launch. So far i have not had bugs there is the occasional crash but other then that nothing, Graphics for the are very beautiful and vibrant I really love the art style that they went with the stages are colorful and every fighter is detailed very nicely and the game runs at 60 fps 1080p which is awesome its stable and it works

    Censorship/Content: Awhile back it was discovered that two of the fighters R Mika and Cammy had been censored, The one for cammy was not as severe as the one for Mika as the one for Mike her supermove was covered up via camera angle, As to why the game was censored President Ono of street fighter stated its was to not offend anyone who may buy and play the game. This is wrong on so many levels for they caved into the SJW movement that has gained a lot of ground lately, Im not bad at the choice they made but more disappointed that they became cowards and decided to censor the game, Content in all is severely lacking especially if your mainly an offline player for there are only 2 modes for offline (not counting training or tutorial) The modes are Survival and Character story mode, and for online There is only 1 mode which is just basic 1v1, as for offline there is no 1v1 mode against the cpu. Such lack of basic modes for both online and offline is criminal and asking for 60 bucks full price for it is mental. And the roaster for this is no different with only 16 fighters out of the gate instead of the expected standard of 24 this game is the most lacking in the series

    DLC PLANS: Capcom has a plan to roll out dlc over the next 5 years a lot of which can be earned in game with fight money or via micro cash/ season pass, but this does not exclude the barebones launch of the game with the insanely lackluster content. Overtime it will just eat up more and more of your hard drive space, Capcom just seems to want to milk this game since they are in financial stress now.

    Personal Thoughts/Verdict: While Street Fighter 5 is fun for awhile you start to see that there is not much to do, With the lack of modes you may feel like your grinding for something that isn't even there, Even now as i write this I feel Like going back to street fighter 4, On Top of the Stupid Censorship and DLC plans i cant help but feel cheated and outright spat on my verdict is a 5 out of 10, It was just one wrong decision after another with Street Fighter 5 and it makes me sad for just a famous series to go down the drain like this. I hope my review was helpful have a nice day    … Expand

    Simply in complete, online is trash, and character back story mode is a joke. Looks decent as a fighting game but without the ability to hone your skills on a 1-10 level comp opponent, the only way to really get better is online... oh wait its choppy and takes ages to find a challenger.

    It is impossible nowadays to pre-purchase a videogame, because 99% of the times, the games tend to be awful. This is the case of SF5, with no VS IA, no story mode, only 16 characters, and an online game that right at the moment makes the gameplay impossible since 2/3 games you get disconnected from the servers.

However, even though I've never been a fan of this new weird claymation looking art style that SF4 and 5 share, I decided to pick up SF5 for my PS4. Boy way I disappointed. First off, there's no arcade mode in the game. If you want to play, you have to play online only. Normally that would piss me off all by itself, but I can't even get online to play the damn game at all. I've only played a total of 15 matches, and I've been trying to play SF5 since last night at midnight. I am tired of the "server is down" message from Capcom. Honestly, this game is such a missed opportunity. I am still shocked at how bad SF5 is. I was never a huge fan of SF4, but at least that game had tons of characters and at least it worked. If you want to play a good 2D fighter, go pick up Guilty Gear Xrd, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat X, or Denki Bunko. I am so done with Capcom now.… Expand

    The game is as light on content as it is on polish. The only single player modes available are arcade/story hybrid, survival and training.

This game has been released in an incomplete state to fuel the upcoming Capcom Pro Tour event. Only buy it if you want to take part in tournaments, as it has barely any value otherwise.
    Why the low score:
    - Severe clipping/physics issues. While not gamebreaking, the character models are ugly and unpolished. You'd get better graphics from SF4 and I'm not kidding. While textures/AA etc is undoubtly better here, the clipping and physics were better in the predecessor.

    - No SP content. SFV has absolutely nothing on its competition. No missions, no challenges, no trials, barebones tutorial, no story, no randomized content (living towers from MKX, MOM mode from GGXrd)

    - Online features, while functional, are incomplete as well. You can't decline match once it's found, so if you play against someone who lags and then get paired again (which does happen even on most restrictive search settings), you can't decline to play. Casual lobbies hold up only 2 players where 8 were available in the SF4.

    Bear in mind I consider 5/10 to be the "average game" and my score is based on that.    … Expand

    Story: Very lacklustre, actually laughable and probably the worst i've seen from the franchise - just 3-4 fights (which are like on very easy) and with no sort of cinematic or cutscene only voice acting played over well drawn but uninteresting pictures, nothing else - zilch i shake my head Capcom. - 2/10

    Gameplay: Still able to succeed with its traditional style gameplay they did try improving it with the V Skill mechanic and i found it okay-ish but still its not a game changer. Still a high caliber fighting game but its failed to take that step further from its predecessor. - 8/10

    Graphics: 6/10 - Not a major difference just a mere improvement from the last, nothing spectacular.

    Fun Factor: 9/10 - Besides the lack of game modes, mediocre story and good online play, you will obviously find most fun fighting against friends and family in Versus.

    Despite being very disliked it doesn't deserve 0s to 3s but i don't blame those who give it that rating because the game obviously unfinished/chopped up or rushed and thats not a good sign for any release.

    6/10 - Above average, a empty game with its content gone missing. Even big fans of the series, competitivie and brave stick fighters would agree with me, WHAT IS THIS CAPCOM.    … Expand

It seems they did nothing during the "beta" progress., all they offer is "Training + paid online MP" and oh yeah an empty disc which is worth for 60$

    For gameplay, this game is clearly designed for casual players. Damage ratio is ridiculous, combos and targets are so easy to perform. Even "brand new" mechanics cannot save the game from being noob-friendly core gameplay, how shame. At this point, the game isn't offer anything that pro players will satisfied with it. Not only lack of offline game modes, but weak core gameplay as well.

    And lastly, did i mentioned upcoming DLCs are already confirmed as "paid" ?? Well this is Capcom game after all, deal with it. *lol*

    Many great fighting games out there which has better online mode such as: Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear..But SF has the most broken online mode atm.

    This is the most bare bones (and worst) SF game I've ever seen ask for full price. The game not even has "vs. CPU" mode, can't believe it. Even the alternate costumes that they recently showed off aren't usable until March, when the in-game store is opened.

    This is a rushed, budget title unfortunately, not like the previous one (SF IV). It's just developed because of Sony's greedy demands. Don't waste your hard earned 60 bucks for this garbage game, try other fighting games which is give you more contents and fun. Play on..    … Expand

A lot faster than IV but not faster than Street Fighter Alpha 3. Advertisement? Annoying and over hyped. Presentation and graphics? Rock solid but could be better. PC port? It works but has issues to frame rate drops when I try to play at max settings on my beastly laptop. Fighter count? Very disappointing. Only 16? :( DLC? It is coming but you can unlock the fighters. (So why is there a pay to win option then) Better voice acting? Meh. Its debatable. Overall final score even with all the updates? 6.9/10 but for now...a 6.7/10. The online in fighting games always seems to need work and patches. Lasting appeal? If you are an overall Street Fighter fan.....still wait for a price drop. The PC version is cheaper. Any thoughts on changing the combat system? Capcom knows what to do. They just need to stop catering to casuals and give us more options like other fighting games do. Time to do some benchmarking Capcom because your not even close. Huge improvement over IV when it comes to fighting BUT lacking in every other area that makes the Ultra edition of IV (please ignore the other useless editions) look like a gold mine and Third Strike... look like a rare jewel.

    $60 for part of a game. I would have rather that they released the game at a later date with all the features. As for the game I cant really give it that great of a score. I have read many things about revamping all the characters and to make the game more balanced, but this is not the case. I have yet to see Capcom release any fighting game that was balanced; this game is not exception. I$60 for part of a game.

    An incomplete game, wrong in many levels and hopefully the end of this series. A shame for the players who can't play offline in a correct way or neither online mode.

    Broken, flawed, censored. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong with Street Fighter V.

    Shame on Capcom for taking the franchise to this dead with their greed and SJW pandering.

    As of the Capcom update the game does offer much more but that isn't saying much since the game had essentially zero content to begin with. The mechanics, balancing, story line, game play consistency, are still probably the worst I've seen in any video game, clearly very little thought or effort went into making/testing this game.

    Man I wish I had read before buying this piece of **** Bad Capcom! BAD! You sold me a pre-beta of a game. This might have well been a demo. There is nothing here. This game sucks so bad it makes me want to cry. I will NEVER fall for this gain. I trusted Capcom. That was my fault.

    Story mode is way too short and way too easy. No Arcade mode in the first place, no versus CPU. Only Survival for a single player game (like anyone wants to play that mode) Matchmaking is very unbalanced online.

    Edit:

    Almost a year later: Still 16 characteres. No Arcade Mode. Broken Online. Expensive DLC. I just hope Capcom gives for free to everyone at least 12 characteres and 10 stages, arcade mode and fix the online. Note: If you bought the game at launch 60 USD and 60 USD for Season Pass 1 & 2.

    Original Review:

    I love Street Fighter, but it's so sad to see one time and another time and another time how Capcom is ruining it. They just launched an incomplete game. 16 characteres ??? like 6 scenarios ??? No Arcade Mode ? No Adventure Mode ??? Just compare this mediocre game with Mortal Kombat X. In fact, Street Fighter Alpha 3 have a lot more content than this. This is just a shame. I think the only way of fixing all this would be sending the half of money or giving for free at least 12 characteres and 20 scenarios and all missing modes. I cannot believe they ask 60 USD for this BETA.

    ===

    Editado:

    Ha pasado casi un año desde que lanzaron esto al mercado. Apenas 16 personajes, sin modo arcade, el online funciona como la mierda, y todo el contenido extra se compra y es ridículamente caro.

    Espero que Capcom para comensar a todos quienes creyeron en este juego, haga lo siguiente: 12 personajes gratis y por lo menos 10 pantallas gratis, que arreglen el modo online y agreguen modo arcade.

    Nota: Si compraste el juego en el lanzamiento, más los season pass1 y 2, son 120 USD. Una fortuna por un juego incompleto y roto.

    La reseña original dice en resumen, que Capcom ha arruinado esta franquicia. Es cosa de comparar esta verguenza de juego con Mortal Kombat X o King of Fighters o cualquier otro juego de lucha.    … Expand

    There are two things which make me puke while watching this game, the voice acting is terrible and it doesn't fit the chars, the backgrounds have really animate objects but they aren't really interesting, I would of preferred seamless backgrounds which aren't so animate. Here's hoping KOF14 turns out better.

Seriously it takes 10-15 minutes to get into a match so basically you are buying a load screen simulator with fighting game commercials. Designer must only play 3 characters as anyone besides Ken,Ryu or Cammy is broken and doesn't have much of a chance. Then there's all the characters that are gone that you have to wait and buy back in typical Capcom greed whore fashion. I could go on about other things that were cut or half assed but what's the point? Capcom is ruining their franchises one by one. WAKE THE **** UP AND CURB STOMP YOUR UPPER MANAGEMENT.

    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.
