GamerKnights have done a full review of the new fighting game "Street Fighter V" by Capcom. Any good or just the same over and over again?
More:
"Fights are a fantastically paced affair that makes every action and reaction an important decision. Rather than locking into a long combo and letting muscle memory do the talking, Street Fighter V asks you pay attention, take your time and not do anything rash. To outsiders it might seem slow paced, but inside the fight is, more often than not, a tense battle that relies on mind games, zoning and split-second decision making as much as it does dexterity and reaction time."
Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.
Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.
SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.
SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.
I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.
SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.
Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.
So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.
Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.
SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.
Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.
It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.
I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

Round One: FIGHT!!
Fair review. I'd give the game a 7.5 in its current state.
If you know the game (like if you know how to play SFIV or Fighting games) you can get it now. If you are a noob, wait till June. Unless you're fine with learning the game just by playing online
Capcom totally mess up with all the Arcade, Training, Story modes, but damn! they sure know how to make a fighter.The gameplay feels just about right; so much fun!
SFV is gonna rule the fighting scene once again, and it would be the crowning jewel of EVO this year. The true one and only king of fighters: Shoryuken my friend!
It was just unfinished.. shouldve been delayed a month so all the modes were available..
7.5 or 8/10 because of all that.. IDK why they'd do something so stupid.
I just hope this precedent doesn't become contagious to other fighting games. I mean if you went to any of your retailers and paid them 20 dollars now but tell them "Its okay you'll be back with the difference in June", they won't give you a copy so I am not going to feel more sympathetic for minuscule content.
8 is way too generous for this half baked game. I'm a fan from the second game on, but Arcade mode has always been my favorite part of the game and where I like to train before taking on real players. With no arcade mode, this is a no buy for me. I'll stay with USF4 until when and if 5 is updated to a full SF game.
