Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a video on Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition?
Hello great vid as always :) plan to do something about ultimate edition?
Seriously bro, you need to stop using clickbait words like OUTRAGE all the time. For the most part, your videos are generally well informed and interesting enough to watch, but it gets tiresome how all these games caused “Outrage”, when most of them didn’t. It reeks of desperation. At the very least, try and find some better / different words
Ok that fighting game naming bit was pure gold
The sfv disc was the most expensive demo I ever paid for, I stopped preordering games after this bad experience.
FANG is one of the worst SF characters of all time imo. Don't like the design.
Seth was Uber shitty also.
Agreed. I don't care for his fighting style, either. But I can forgive nearly everything because Laura is awesome.
Fuckin love Fang but tbh If you hate him I can’t even blame you.
I think FANG is a great design, but he's kind of a lousy Street Fighter design. In a game like Guilty Gear or maybe Soul Caliber he would be a better fit.
Yeah, FANG kinda sucks. I like his personality and design, they're both really silly which I enjoy, and his backstory is really interesting but he is just really awkward to play as.
I passed on it due to lacking the offline experience I look for in fighting games.
Especially when both Arcade Edition and Championship didn't even bother to put the DLC on the damn disc. That alone is gonna tamper the game's longevity.
Well, it is all there now. Arcade modes based on each of the SF series. An art gallery mode. Cpu vs. Survival mode(a much-improved one than the one from launch). Extra Battles(which are just daily/weekly rewards). Story modes for each character(though they are short). And other things that should have come with its initial release.
@@popo237 It's a much better game now. I had it in beta and it was okay, then somehow at release they made the game worse and I didn't come back until I saw everything in a nice cheap package.
@@jamesragsdale3069 Too bad the dlc isn't on the disc
@@blok--head7472 That pissed off so much. I skipped every installment of SFV. I was planning on buying the championship edition until they decided not to put the dlc on the damn disc. I gave up trying to buy the game after that. I got sick and tired that I don't think I will ever buy SF5.
"Imagine if Nintendo released a Super Mario game based on speedrunning, or imagine if Sega released a Sonic game solely for the furry community."
Me: Sonic Forces and Super Mario 35 exist.
Technically, you can't speedrun in Super Mario Bros. 35 as enemies flood your screen thanks to you being attacked by other players that is simultaneously playing with you online and it's an online multiplayer game. Sonic Forces, on the other hand, I do agree with ya on that to a certain extent.
@@videogameadventure 👍
@@GVGINU Yeah Super Mario 35 wasn't a speed runner's game. It was a battle royale. A really unique one at that. Every 3D Sonic after Heroes is furry bait though.
SF5's initial release and dislike suffered from the same reasons people disliked KOF 12. No where near enough content to justify the price
still now. Ultra sf4 had more characters and more content for half the price
You mean kof 14?
@@weabooheaboo1198 Nope. KOF 14 had far more to offer than 12. 12 was really bare bones
If people can learn how to play at least 7 characters then I'll let them justify the price being too high.
@@weabooheaboo1198 KOF 14 is packed with content, even back when it first came out.
Yes, cover the rest of SF5 history, please.
I gotta know the story behind sf5
Loved the puns from 2:41-3:02 😂
Just great writing ✍
Me too, was just about to make this post but it looks like you did my work for me, haha!
Great writing right here
🤣🤣
It would not have Tekken a genius…👍🏻
I'm glad I waited for the Arcade Edition.
I didn't and was very upset that the arcade edition was released only a few months after I purchased the original release sf5
@@BIGGIEDEVIL Uff Da! That's pretty unfortunate. I had a similar experience with the 2019 Summer character bundle which I bought into before they announced the Champion Edition upgrade kit a few short months afterwards. In hindsight I really jumped the gun on that purchase.
Yeah, I think SFv had a come back with CE, which is an excellent game.
@@realmchat6665 essentially the CE edition should have been the game at launch
Im glad I waited for Champion Edition
_'The Street Fighter brand had reclaimed its throne as one of the King of Fighters and was a perfect demonstration of what can be achieved with the Art of Fighting'_
I see what you did there
And that is exactly where I gave this video a like.
the puns kept going for a whole paragraph not sure if you noticed
@@GoldenPickaxe Yeah, I'd give like for each one if I could!
2:47 - 3:02
There was an entire scheme you didn't even acknowledge lol
Just about to make a cuppa and watch this. What a depressing release Sf5 was. Let's go Top Hat!
Careful now, Mr. Nobody and the SFV Defense Force won't like this. 😂
Thanks for saving me a whole bunch of money.
I would love to see a follow up to this. SF5 was such an "interesting" release; I use that term loosely lol. Excellent job as always, Top Hat. I've been a viewer for a little over a year now, and I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work, my friend.
You forgot to mention that sony helped pay to finish the game so that it would be ready for tournament season
Street Fighter doesn't look right in 3d, and to me never will.
For me it also doesn't feel right.
Perhaps that's why I couldn't get into Street Fighter IV as much as well, but love Street Fighter 3 third Strike and Capcom VS Snk 2 to this day over SFIV and SFV.
4 looks amazing
4 looks off to me, but 5 looks great
looks better in 3d imo, SF4/5 are some of the best looking games
@@mondopatrick we are all different. As a person playing SF since 1989, I hate the 3d. The world was always a cartoon to me, which really brought out it's charm. This 3d look feels like a grab for the pixar crowd.
I preordered this and marvel can capcom infinite. Capcom broke my heart with both of them and they’ll never get my money for a fighter again. And this comes after being an avid fan; enough so to have collected up pcb’s or their arcade games from the nineties
I love the new characters but ...meh. I still play ultra sf 4 on 360 over this. :(
Agreed, I Ended Up Buying The Ultra Street Fighter IV On STEAM Over The Street Fighter 5 Game.
---->> Despite The Issues I Had With Ultra Street Fighter IV On STEAM, I Still Think I Made The Right Choice.
---->> They Didn't Have Any Earlier Editions Of Street Fighter IV To Buy, So I Was Stuck With Ultra Street Fighter IV.
@@KenyoMurabu ultra is the best version imo
I won't buy Street Fighter 5 yet. I'm sticking with Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection and Ultra Street Fighter 4 for now. I won't buy Street Fighter 5 not until Capcom is done making a final updated version of the game.
They call me E of the turbulent wind. Especially after a rotten curry and plenty of soda
Capcom short changed early adopters of the game by crippling the game with micro transactions and removing key features that are a genre standard .
apparently demented zoomers "appreciate" these "features", as in "removed features"
Everytime he says “Rayu” I cringe.
never cared for sexualization in games. as long as gameplay is good, who cares. Also, it's just flat out pathetic to concern yourself with such things on fictional characters. They aren't real.
Man, this game was/is a mess! SFIV 4vr! Hoping for some great things with SFVI
Still waiting for that new Megaman game Capcom said it was making.
Totally agree.USF4 is simply the greatest and the most balanced fighting game of all time.SF5 is inferior in every way.I hope SF6 plays a lot more like USF4.
Funny thing he forgot to mention is that the esport community was worried that this game was going to be uncompetitive because it was so easy. 3 frame links were the tightest. This game is easier to play than sf4 but it lacks the sf4 comeback mechanics
I cant be the only one more annoyed that they just wont make it a story finally after part 3. Just make them all older.
SF3 has its own interesting history with player outrage. Most notably, the game originally was going to have no returning fighters. Fans were so furious about it that Capcom ended up adding Ryu and Ken, then Akuma in 2nd Impact, and finally Chunli in 3rd Strike.
Indeed, please cover both the Arcade and Championship Editions with scathing comparisons in relation to this release version.
Couple of things the year it broke 5k at evo was the year it launched and can largely be attributed to being the hype train from the massive success that was sf4. People by in large made the effort to go to that evo because it was the beginning of a new ride they had every reason to expect would be awesome. Most people paid for entry and travel way before the game was out. From a fgc point of view sf5 was also a disaster with not only being a poor street fighter gameplay wise but also it managed to wreak havoc on the fgc community numbers post release. Big websites lost thousands of regulars, local events started to dry up, streamers lost viewership etc.
Also despite this sfv outsold sf4 thanks to the groundwork layed by sf4 and mvc3. In short prior to the release sf5 had everything going for it and it blew it big time for casual (who are the grassroots of the fgc) and for the fgc. God I hope they learn lessons for sf6
This is great stuff! I never knew that there was no arcade mode in the base release of SFV (I didn't start playing it until after Arcade Edition had released). I absolutely want you to make videos about the DLC, Arcade Edition and Champion Edition.
Day one edition was a nightmare. I still feel sick admitting I was a buyer back then. I didn't play it for months. Arcade Edition was an improvement.
Even now with Champion Edition, they are not quite done with V.
@@kadosho02 Yeah, I've read that they are adding more characters in a few months because there was some sort of set back for Street Fighter VI which is going to delay it until 2022.
All those fighting game puns LMAO
I remember that the input lag even in single player mode was insane. You press a button and you could read war and peace twice and finally then technique will be executed. Tekken 7 has one of the best value for money base versions you can come across, but the season passes are more expensive.
Because of this game, I never buy a new capcom game. I make sure to get it used off eBay.
Capcom ripped me off by selling me a demo and season pass for $80.
Why did it cause outrage? Well, the microtransactions (fight money), games-as-a-service model, the questionable new characters (in a few places), a bland & bare bones start when it first got released & the phony voucher codes. 😠
As a side note: certain people rather play street fighter iv or street fighter anniversary collection. Just sayin. ☺ plus i think the next installment will do the same thing. 😑
Great Video Daddy Top Hat Gaming Man!
I tried, but could not get into this one. All others in the series were straight 🔥
My faves were the X-Men crossovers.
Love all the great coverage and the trademark yyyeaahhh at the beginning of each vid!
Thank you much appreciated!
Despite SFV's disappointing release, the game has now fully redeemed itself through patches and further revisions like Arcade Edition and Champion Edition (both of which thankfully didn't require you rebuying the whole game, unlike the past games). Now, I would even go as far as saying it's the best Street Fighter game.
Probably the worst opinion I have but I actually really love playing SF 5 early days, sure it was super super rough around the edges and 16 characters is a bit abysmal for a AAA title but this was the first proper fighting game that I was able to learn at the same rate as the community. Of course not my first SF or fighting game but the first I went a step above being just a casual and well I got to feel like part of a community. I'm glad SF V is definitely in a MUCH better place but those early days are kinds special and nostalgic to me
That goes for just about every fighting game today the developers are cater the so call ✌FGC✌ ugh😝 aka the EVO of the words they make those nobodies the star rather than the game it self the star.
Thanks for the closed captioning!
As someone who bought the game Day 1, there's things I wanted to add of why the game pissed people off:
- The Servers: Everything in the game ran on the servers, even if you were offline. In order to get Fight Money, you needed to be on the servers when completing something. There were times within that first month where the servers would randomly cut on you & if you were in a position where you were in a match or far in survivor mode, you'd have to restart from the beginning or the match was cancelled. In addition, there was no punishment for rage quitting for a long time. So you lost out on Fight Money if you were winning. Apparently, Capcom only had one person working on the entire netcode & server.
- Character Changes & Balance Issues: For starters, there was 8 frames of intentional input lag added to the offline version of the game, making things practically unplayable. In addition, there were changes to characters that shouldn't have happened, Vega is the epitome of this, or balancing & gameplay decisions that made some characters horrible, *glares at Zangief*.
Street fighter V is practically the epitome of what happens when you put more focus on trying to create your own scene over making a game as good as possible. You get something rushed out that had no reason to be released that not only pissed off casuals, but even parts of your hardcore base.
AMEN Brother.......Preach It Loud!!!!!!!
Also,something that i never see people talking about is the fact that there were more than double dlc characters than launch characters;come on, even on the dlc era,starting at 16 and finishing at 46 is just an insult to people's economy
Edit: Yes, I know about fight money,but that is a joke,if you did all that was available,it wasn't near enough to buy even one character
I can even bet that in CE all that is available for the 40 characters isn't equal to the fight money for all season five characters
I bought this second hand for $18 Australian, and I felt ripped off. I look at the recent Championships edition in the store with utter disdain
SFIV is still superior in mostly every way. A shame they added SF3 characters to these last two series.
I want to hear about all the crap DLC and versions toooooooo!!!
2:37-3:02 best part, Imho. :)
Even today the game still feels unfinished and largely barren, the "fighting" part is really lackluster, and there's a certain cheapness present in the story mode cutscenes
@@MaskDeSmith There isn't a whole lot of playstyles you can play as compared to Street Fighter 4, just simple archetypes such as grapplers, shotos, etc.
@@kaiser9321
The story mode is largely badly written and retcons a ton of things that were established in previous Street Fighter game Street Fighter 3 3rd strike: fight for the future. It was said that Chun-Li played a very large role in taking down shadowloo and M. bison once and for all BUT in the story mode for Street Fighter V she barely does anything IMPORTANT and doesn't even finish off bison herself.
Instead Ryu is the one to finally finish off bison and Karin was the one that led the charge to FINALLY take down shadowloo.
@@kaiser9321
Street Fighter V largely disrespects the classic Legacy characters. Both Chun-Li Guile and Cammy don't take down bison or shadowloo themselves, Ryu who has no connection with bison is the one that finally finishes him off, Cammy leaves the story mode after taking down decapre, Juri makes a quick Cameo appearance and doesn't take part in the final battle with M bison or shadowloo,
FANG is the worst Street Fighter character and the most annoying,
Rose doesn't even make an appearance in the entire story mode or even helps the heroes despite the fact that her SOUL POWER was the ONLY thing that has long been established in the lore/history of SF that could take down bison.
Because it wasn't on Xbox?😅
the outrage was simply because they released one empty shell of a game, then updated it months later and kept the best stuff behind a paywall.
The only thing you could buy was characters, stages, and costumes with IRL cash. All the modes and stuff were a free update.
I disagree, the outrage was not simple or due to a single flaw. It was a series of flaws and issues regarding timing and technical letdowns
Street fighter 5 one big freemium 🤬
Not anymore since Arcade edition was released and now moreso with CE. That freemium spot belongs to Tekken 7.
Yes, you should definitely cover the Champion Edition update! That's what made the game worth playing, at least for me, a casual long time fan.
Crappy art direction with ugly models, paywall of characters and unnecessary censorship ( I miss u booty smack Rmika special& cammy sexy intro!) were the disasters of SF5 on launch. Even today, if it weren't for it costumes and additional characters, it wouldn't be as enjoyable as past entries!
So an art style you personally don't like though look at KOF14 and say that again lol. Then just two 1 second scenes in an entire game of fanservice, butt and breast shots and that ruins alot for you. Virgin to the core I see. Nothing wrong with it but its just quite sad.
I remember buying sf5 day one and got refunded the next day not worth buying
Please don't do anymore Street Fighter games until you man up and start pronouncing Ryu's name properly. I have 100% proof it's pronounced ReeYou/Riyuu. That is so disrespectful. Real Japanese people have that name and you and your EGO still refuses to properly pronounce the name. When Japanese say the name the R sound rolls off of the tongue quickly, so it sounds kind of like the D sound. Next, the speed at which it is said makes it sound like Duu or Ruu sometimes, but most often you can clearly hear the person saying Riyuu/ReeYou and definitely not like you're pronouncing it, as Raiyu/Rayu.
I will pronounce words however damn way I please!
I agree though to pronounce Ryu differently only the moment all Japanese people stop calling Mcdonalds - Makudonarudo! If you can make that happen, I will give in to your demands.
I think this is a more than fair deal.
@@TopHatGamingManChannel It's a little harder for Japanese to pronounce some letters properly because of their language by default, which teaches them to pronounce vowels differently.
Also Ryu is a Japanese name and McDonald's is not, so they try to come close as possible. If they speak English on the other hand they pronounce it properly. It's definitely not an EGO thing like the way you do it, because you Pronounce Ryo's name properly.
Oh my gawd! You went ham with the fighting game puns, haha! Brilliant!
To this day I still see Street Fighter 5 as the weakest game in the series.
Street Fighter V DLC Edition. It's all about DLC and Micro-Transaction's now. Imagine they introduced these games with everything at launch the price would easily be $100. Games wouldn't jump off the shelves.
I was prepared to get a PS4 specifically because of Street Fighter V. Then I saw the negative reviews and the approach Capcom took with the Franchise and it was an easy no thanks. I'm not paying full price plus what would probably amount to the cost of an Xbox One X or PS5 on the reseller market for a game that will likely never be complete, despite all the updates and "upgrades".
Paid DLC, Loot boxes and all those other forms of monetary transactions should be made illegal but that's how gaming is now and it's a real shame in my opinion.
I was a day one buyer. Sigh.. it really bites how much was missing. Bare bones, small roster (and inaccessible music) only at certain points , character themes will play.
I just couldn't recommend V to anyone. Back then, and now I still feel honestly sick that I was hyped, it wasn't ready. It was crap. Us day one buyers were actually beta players.
Eventually more stuff rolled in, feature and content wise. But that would take awhile. Biggest downside, most of this was kept away in a season pass or optional out of pocket expenses.
Sure you could acquire FM, the currency in V. But it would take forever, unless you're devoted to online play. Or ranking up.
Censorship. Seriously this part bugs me. If we the players could have an option to turn those features back on. It's just silly. *It was based on their sponsors, which is why they took those segments away, Capcom felt it would not be presentable due to outside audiences. Uh.. it's just dumb, let the game keep it's personality.
V day one, a big disappointment.
Note: I'm not an e-sports fan. I might glance at some things. I just enjoy the game
I look forward to more of your coverage of V, and other recent games this past gen
Excellent video
It is a ok game now. But what a let down even to this day after sf4. Sf4 was a far superior game. well imo. If you love sfv I am honestly happy for you. Not gonna lie I still play it. But it really is probably my least favorite SF game... I mean other then the original SF lol. Even watching pros in tournaments is just not as exciting. blah
It was only on PlayStation 4. Glad they won't make that mistake with the new generation. Because Sony missed that game up. It's not capcom's fault because of the poor net code. Is Sony's fault because of the hardware.
With them cutting the roster of SFIV in half and all the unnecessary censorship they did to Cammy and R.Mika, I had no interest in playing the game
Then my buddy got it for me for Christmas and then I played it, it was fun for a bit but I got bored of it and I haven't really played it since
I play it now and love it, but at launch, it was so terrible, I dropped it and didn't give a second chance until Champion Edition. It took the game years to become what it should have been before launch.
Thankfully I never bought the game until the CE which is a damn good game.
Thank goodness Yoshinori Ono is gone from Capcom he was burying Street Fighter legacy into the ground now we have a great team working on the Street Fighter games now a team that cares about the granchise.
Not releasing sf5 on xbox was the only mistake capcom made,other than that this game is a fucking classic.
This is why a lot of fighting game usually don’t sell all that great , to much focus on the fgc and tournament play.
03:35 The lighting and ambience in the trailer looked so much better than in the same stage of the final game.
They made Claw a boring optionless character with different inputs and a dumb "switching styles"-gimmick. So I ignored SFV and watched the trainwreck from outside. And it proved to become a major disappointment all the way around. Not a single regret here on skipping SFV to this very day. Being a SF fan from SF2CE, BTW.
I'm pretty interested in the other half for Street Fighter V (Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and Street Fighter V: Champion Edition).
years later, the game still doesn't have an infinity timer option. shame the fans couldn't drum up enough outrage to remedy that
This is the only mainline Street Fighter game I have not bought, partially because it wasn't on Xbox, partially because of the issues I kept reading about the PC version, and mainly because everytime I considered getting it, the cost of getting the full game with all the content felt too much.
Killer instinct
I would like to hear more about how the game plays today with all the updates and DLC. Did it finally tick off all the boxes? Or was it too late?
One of the hundred million reasons I've boycotted anything since released by Capcom.
It is true that back in 2016 when it was release Street Fighter V was a disaster of a fighting game...but now if you buy the Championship Edition you will have one of the better fighting titles of this generation
Continue [consider my thumb up to be an inserted token].
I'm a big SF fan, but this game... No.. please just No..
LOL i see what you did there with all those fighting game names
I love Street Fighter and I own this game but I unfortunately haven't played it since they introduced the adverts prior to a battle and the multiple season passes. P robably 2 years or more since I last played it and I have no desire to.
Ive always thought the charactor models in SF4 and SF5 look ugly, when the camera zooms in to their face it looks like they have a touch of Down's, the 2d games especially SF3 look way better and far more appealing. Also why have they replaced the most badass fighter, Sagat, with that limp wristed thing?
I think SFV looks great although I would prefer a guilty gear like art style
This game is a complete cluster fuck, shitting on the legacy the franchise has build over the past decades. I made the mistake and bought this game and the available fighters and stages is just laughable at best. Most of the legendary fighters are not available to play as, and the amount of available stages is poor. I paid full price on this game and yet Capcom expects me to pay more to build the game to its full form? No thanks. Some time ago I calculated the total price and if memory serves, it came close to 200€ to buy all the missing features. As a fan since SFII, I have this to say: Fuck off capcom. I'll never buy another SF game again, if you plan on releasing it in "a skeleton form", expecting people to spend crazy amounts of money, to get the content that should have been there from the get go.
@Rolling Start_90's
Producer Yoshinori Ono shares a lot of blame for why SFV failed, and if you look at his previous work Street Fighter X Tekken (which was just as bad) a game that had a lot of problems and an even WORSE launch, really paints a picture of just how bad Yoshinori Ono is as a producer. Unsurprisingly he also worked on Marvel Vs. Capcom infinite which was also a complete failure and a disaster that KILLED the Capcom Vs series. Thankfully Yoshinori Ono has since left Capcom.
Agreed, SF5 was a disappointing entry in the series. I still think SF4 was the pinnacle of the more modern take on the series. SF5, however, was a stunner visually. That is, pretty much, all I can say about it. I still have faith in Capcom, though.
Even if there's a story mode and arcade mode, I think SFV purpose have been ultimately for competition
Well yeah. The main issues was they released it early for that year's Capcom Cup, and with a full retail price tag to boot.
Street Fighter V will go down for me as the worst Street Fighter in history. The god damn long loading times, 2 years without an arcade mode, the constant clipping through character models, the dumbest way to unlock default colors is to do the time consuming survival mode OR pay for it, the amount of costumes that are $4 a pop, you get no stages with the season pass even though you own the character, fight money is a joke and is unsatisfying getting just 50 when most of the shop require thousands of points, the V system is not good, no variety in supers, some characters feel awful to play compared to their SF4 playstyles. The only thing good I can say is the soundtrack and Capcom costumes. That's it.
Street Fighter VI handled this infinitely better, original arcade intros and endings, rival fights to give you more lore with these characters, focus attacks are the most fun mechanic for the revival, packs of character costumes instead of just CHUN LI WARDROBE THE FIGHTING GAME, yet they went with this free to play motto even though some hardcore fans like me bought it day one for $60, or a hundred with that collector's edition. No matter how many characters they decide to put in, its not gonna change my mind. I even take Street Fighter X Tekken as a better game than V even without the mods.
@Greg Williams
Producer Yoshinori Ono shares a lot of the blame for why SFV failed, he previously worked on the now infamous capcom/namco crossover failure that is Street Fighter X Tekken and was the executive producer on Marvel Vs. Capcom infinite, so really a lot of capcom's failures with fighting games can be blamed on one man and that is Yoshinori Ono. Thankfully he has since left Capcom
I was so disappointed with this game when it was released .
Sounds like an absolute cash cow scheme...
SF2CE and SFA3 are my favs of the series.
Your fighting game puns are gold.
Please review the wrestling game "Ultimate Muscle Leyends vs New Generation" for GameCube.
Those puns are the best!
Gotta love how these publishers explain the reasons for their games platform exclusivity . "We partnered up with Sony because we share the same vision", What a load of tripe. Just be honest and say that Sony knocked at our door and when we answered they had a case full of money and were willing to pay us to not release the game on other consoles.
It’s common knowledge that Sony helped them finance the game and it’s early launch.
Love this channel so much!! Thanks a lot!!
Definitely would appreciate you covering the rest of the SFV update
Great Show mate! Please finish up the game's history. I myself am a Hardcore fighting game fan as well as a Hardcore SF player (from the SF2 days) who found SF5 Highly disappointing!
Keep up the Excellent work Bruv!
Ultra steroid fighter 5...
I'll go with Street Fighter Alpha 3.
SFA3 was definitely the best 2d street fighter game.
Let's hope sf6 is better
Considering Capcom's track record with fighting games between SFxT, SFV, MvC:I, & SF 30th Anniversary Collection (Yes they even managed to fail porting games), I have no faith in Capcom when it comes to fighting games at this point.
Excellent coverage. Yes, please delve into the Arcade and Champion editions.
love the vids dude! Do you ever play SFV? I'm not very good and get frustrated by the game (and my lack of skill) a lot but I still end up coming back to it.
It’s too bad Capcom messed up the release of SF5 so bad, then continued to nickel and dime its core fan base with all the iterations. Saying that, I think it’s a superior fighter to SF4 with better game dynamics. Also the sound track is the best in the series and deserves recognition.
What's makes SFV better then SlV
Wait " then continued to nickel and dime its core fan base with all the iterations"? What? All the iterations? What they hell are you talking about there. In the course of 5 years its only been the original, SFV Arcade Edtion and lastly Champion Edition and that's all but you say it as if there were tons and this is 5 years too. You want nickle and diming look at Mortal Kombat 11, in the course of less than two year, yes you heard that right less than two years there have been 4 MK11 games. MK11, MK11 premium edition, MK11 Aftermath and MK11 Ultimate all without even reaching two years and its still getting standalone DLC separate from the Ultimate edition. Tekken 7 same thing 3 editions and the Ultimate Edition only has two seaon passes when it has 4 of them which means you can buy the ultimate and still need to get season pass 3 and season pass 4 which comes with a game mode and frame data. Now that's nickle and diming you when they sell you modes and frame data to play and learn when Tekken 7 came with the same amount of content as SFV or so. To this day people still call it incomplete and are boycotting it in the FGC because of season 4. Namco is the EA of fighters now. So yeah almost all fighters are worse than capcom but as SFV is more popular it takes the heat while the other worse games get less heat but are as guilty if not moreso. Remember MK11 has more versions in two years than SFV has in 5 years.
Arcade mode still sux 😂
I remember when I got my PS4 on May 1 2016, I picked out Street Fighter 5 and Call Of Duty BO3, I specifically chose SF5 KNOWING it was pronounced as over rused bullshit, I wanted to see it for myself, and oddly enough... despite all the lacking content.. I liked it! Little ass 6th grade me actually throughly enjoyed the game. And I didnt even have PSplus to play online, I would typically do the chapter mode (or whatever it was with those picture cutscenes) and there was this one mode similar to arcade. I grew to slowly dislike the game and eventually sold it. But it was responsible for my SF4 fascination in 2016 lmao
The anemic release was so awful that it convinced me to crack open the UnrealEd and script an ugly “Arcade Mode” that just acted like an automated vs. CPU mode (hidden, poorly, beneath a makeshift UI).
The censorship to appease pearl-clutching Karens was also bypassed by mods. I’m so tired of Marxist-infected western modernism trying impose its sickness on eastern media creators. I had to mod in “Christ The Redeemer” onto the hill in the Brasil map because the metal dong Capcom placed up there to appeased the anti-Christians looks stupid (and I’m not even Christian).
Making it in the Unreal Engine was the best decision Capcom made with this game because it’s exposed the game to community-created content to compensate for its failings.
@Resvrgam
Producer Yoshinori Ono shares the blame for why SFV failed along with game director Takayuki Nakayama and co-producer Koichi Sugiyama (both of whom wrote the horrendous story mode)
If you look at Yoshinori Ono's other work SFV's failure begins to make sense,
The now infamous capcom/namco crossover failure that is Street Fighter X Tekken and Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite,
Both games that were Produced by Youshinori Ono.
@Resvrgam
Thankfully Yoshinori Ono and the team that worked on Street Fighter V have since left Capcom.
Street Fighter V gave us banana-hair Ken, and for that, I will always be thankful. (And also shirtless bearded Ryu)
Don't forget football ken
