Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Dont worry everyone…it only works on cammy (she has the lowest stun)…sorry all cammy players :frowning:

Im firing up SF5 now…its been a while!

Ihave they released any other character models such as Juri or Ibuki?

Nope.

And whats great right now is both Alex and Guile are free to everyone! until the Zenny store is up and running you get them both or free. I played Guile last night and man he looks cool and is fun for a minute but he only has 2 special moves. The rest are like command normal. Takes a while to memorize all of those type moves.

Cool. I really want Rashid new genie pant costume

After looking and comparing tier list amongst a lot of SF5 pro/high level players (Such as J.Wong, F.Champ, PR.Balrog, Infiltration etc.) This is what a general based on what these people think tier list for Street fighter 5

First the two guys butt-humping in the bus on the China stage, and now this?!

Looks like a stage-designer at Capcom is having some fun. XD

Just as an update, it looks like SFV is indeed not selling very well.

Street Fighter 5 Misses Sales Target

This is not a gloat - I find this really troublesome. But since it’s been the topic of conversation here I thought I would post the link.

Word of mouth spreads faster than any advertisement they can produce. all it takes is someone at game stop to say “oh man it has zero content and this and that is lame”…or a few comments on here with the same criteria. Boom… tons of people dont buy the game and say “they will wait.”

SF did this to themselves… the hype was huge before the game was released… but the lack of content just let all the hot air out the balloon…FAST!

I’m not sure that there was a single reason for this. I think SFV is beloved in the FGC - look at the EVO numbers. But the response to the multiple beta tests among other gamers (I hate to say “more casual” because it has a connotation) was mixed at best. The visuals, and especially the gameplay were not super well received. The “honest” footsie based gameplay isn’t super appealing for people who want to play with their friends. I think it’s this - combined with the lack of features- that’s caused this problem.

In any case, as I’ve said before, I think this is bad news. If you are getting ready to go pitch a new fighting IP or a revival (like KI was in 2013) it will be tough to drag this into the room with you. The FGC won’t care. That community has dragged far more obscure and unsupported IP with them through the years. But I don’t see any real way that SFV is going to come back and capture the rest of the market. Without that it’s tough to imagine Capcom’s next fighting game happening at all.

It just proves you cant release a game with half the content missing. Players don’t like that and they remember these things. All these season passes selling for 25-45$ and nothing to show for plus half the game is missing.

At the SF release at game stop the lady game around trying sell the Season pass to all of us and not one person bought it…everyone was like phhppphh! Hell no! Im paying 60$ for a game right now and it doesn’t even have VS CPU! Plus you can unlock with Fight money.

I wanted SF to succeed becasue it helps KI, but they sjust shot themselves in the foot man.

I am not surprised…since you know
.Arcade mode, Player vs CPU and trials should be day 1
.‘Story’ mode should be half decent at the very least (not a 2 fight slide show)
.3 betas and still a shambles net code
.Stupidly easy AI to Unbareable unfair AI in survival

But they did say if they fail to get 2 million copies they might not be a season 2 of DLC…if that’s so then farewell Sean, Q, Viper, Oro, Akuma, Sagat etc.

Worst call in fighting game history.

Makes me sad. I wanted to see this game do really well.

Kinda feel bad for having not touched it since S3 launch - but hey, CEO’s a thing and I need to train.

Still really looking forward to Juri. Hoping a second DLC pack is announced.

Season 3 is on hold until…the next guest character arrives

If they released it free to play like KI did, I think they could’ve avoided this problem.

Agreed. KI was released with even less content, but since it was priced so cheaply everybody forgave it for lacking content.

I will say though, 3 seasons later & $120 into it it’d be nice if KI had a traditional arcade ladder…

I know right? Im tired of making my own arcade ladder…its so labor intensive lol

Super good game, fluid, fast, great looking, SF is the king of fighting games for a reason. Solid netcode. Where’s the single player? That was my only knock on the game. Hoping Capcom continues supporting the game as well as they have, I’m seeing great things in its future.
