![]() ![]() Finally, the third online multiplayer issue is the lack of effort made to pit you against opponents that have similar skill levels. While Capcom did release a patch while I was reviewing this, which improved the lag slightly, it’s still there and often makes for a damn near unplayable experience. I assume this is to cut down on the time it takes to get into a match, but are those extra 10 seconds selecting a character really that big of a deal for players? The second issue is the lag. In previous games, and most fighting games for that matter, you’ll be greeted with a character select screen, but for some bizarre reason, this has been omitted. You have to pick your “favourite” character in a completely separate menu, prior to entering a match. The first issue comes from the lack of character select screen. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer modes, Ranked and Casual, are a huge disappointment for three main reasons. Probably the best multiplayer mode is the game’s local multiplayer. Street Fighter V: Champion Edition features an assortment of multiplayer modes. One thing that really disappointed me through the overall experience was the lengthy load times, both when you’re first booting up the game and before each match. There’s also an extensive training area that teaches all the moves and combos – a perfect place for players to brush up on their skills. Pausing the game will give you access to the Command List which will teach you how to perform the various character moves. There are two special meters that will grow, depending on your performance, and once filled, will allow you to unleash more powerful moves to help turn the tide of a battle. If you played Street Fighter IV, you’ll definitely be at home here, as the game takes a lot of what made SFIV great and polishes it up to make an even more refined fighter. The basic roots of this game haven’t changed much since the early days of the Street Fighter franchise, but that’s not to say the game hasn’t evolved. You’ll hit your opponent with various punches, kicks and special moves to deplete their health bar. Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is a 2D, side-scrolling style fighter where two combatants compete against each other. Note: Capcom also released a free DLC story pack called “A Shadow Falls” the features even more story content, so be sure to download this. I would have appreciated more effort in animating these endings – but considering how many endings are included, I can understand the reasoning behind keeping things simple. The endings again are static images, but there is voicework. You’ll get an intro for each character, 2-3 fights, and then an ending. Here you’ll be able to pick any of the 40 included characters and discover their role in the overall Street Fighter V story-arc. The Street Fighter V Story mode approaches things a bit differently. The ending cutscenes aren’t animated, just static images – but it’s still something and you could probably spend many hours just discovering each character’s endings. But completing each Street Fighter game in Arcade will give you a brief cutscene ending for every selectable character. It’s not perfect since any character that didn’t make the Street Fighter V character cut aren’t included in their respective Street Fighter titles Arcade mode, such as Crimson Viper from Street Fighter IV. For the completely uninitiated, there’s the Arcade mode, which features a retelling of each previous core Street Fighter game. This has been since fixed, and it’s definitely a truly deep experience. One of the biggest complaints about the original release of Street Fighter V was the lack of any real story mode. Is this four-year-old title worth picking up with all the added content? Let’s take a look. The game is still exclusive to PC and PlayStation 4, which might be a disappointment to Xbox One and Switch fans – but a DualShock 4 controller really is the best way to play fighting games anyway. Fortunately, Capcom has seen fit to release the budget-priced Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, which includes the base game, all four seasons of content and a brand new playable character. However, if you were planning on jumping into Street Fighter V anytime over the past couple of years, you’d be forgiven if you thought the entry price was a bit too pricey. However, Capcom kept at it and continued to improve the overall product, including releasing four seasons worth of content featuring new stages, characters and much, much more. When Street Fighter V was first released, some fans felt it was a bit, lacking. It’s been four years since Street Fighter V was first unleashed on to the fighting world. ![]()
