Street Fighter V

This game is very memorable and long lasting. Even after the Street Fighter 6 released this one is still mentioned to be a classic.

[granted] i grew up in the arcade upright tournaments back in the 90's: so anything after SSFIITurbo was really a different game for me. The Alpha Series was fun & had new entertaining/competitive additions [reversals, air-block...]. SF3 & 4 are huge departures for me on many levels, yet they are worthy of respect & i DO enjoy them for new mechanics & characters. SFV is something entirely different in terms of overall experience, direction & intent. CapCom has devolved from what they had at one time set the standard as the de-facto name of competitive Arcade Fighters, into what is now the same shallow glam fest, cash grab that we see in the other franchises. decades ago, when travelling abroad; i ordered a Coka-Kola in Berlin. it came to me in a glass for 5DM @ ambient temp; without ice. tHE Ice cost extra. "okay" i said. my next drink was a Köstritzer for 80 schilling =) playing SFV, to me; seems like being charged for each individual ice cube, while other games in the series are cool, refreshing & tasty in their own uniquely traditional ways.

This game has the worst UI and intro/tutorial to any game I have ever played. You can even manage to remove the binding entirely for directions for keys so you cant remap your bindings at all. Wouldn't accept my num pad as input keys as well. Its so, so bad. Never buy this...

It is overall a worse game than Ultra Street Fighter IV. Not terrible, but rather meh.

When Street Fighter V launched in 2016, it was a paradox—a brilliant core fighting engine wrapped in a surprisingly barebones package. Nearly a decade later, with multiple updates, character passes, and the Champion Edition and Season 5 content, it has evolved into a deep, competitive, and feature-rich fighter worthy of the Street Fighter legacy. At its heart, Street Fighter V is a more aggressive, offense-oriented fighter than its predecessor. Gone are the Focus Attacks of SFIV—replaced by the V-System, which brings V-Skills, V-Triggers, and V-Reversals into play. These mechanics inject personality into each character and allow for unique strategies, comebacks, and playstyle variation. The combat is fast and snappy, with a focus on reads and pressure. That said, SFV initially received criticism for simplified inputs and reduced execution barriers, which some veterans saw as a step back. But as the meta matured, the depth and nuance emerged—especially with later balance patches and character additions. What began as a trimmed-down roster has since ballooned into a rich cast of over 45 fighters, ranging from series staples like Ryu and Chun-Li to inventive newcomers like Menat, G, and Luke. The character design is one of SFV's strongest aspects—everyone has a unique flavor and gameplay identity, and there’s truly something for every playstyle. Each fighter’s V-Triggers can drastically change their capabilities, encouraging experimentation and giving matches a dramatic flair, especially in high-stakes rounds. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Street Fighter V is vibrant, stylized, and expressive. The character animations are fluid and cinematic, and the stages are full of energy and life. While the early UI and menu design felt undercooked, later updates polished the overall look and feel of the game. The soundtrack is a mixed bag—some remixed character themes hit the right nostalgic notes, while others fade into the background. Still, the audio design in fights—impacts, announcer cues, and special move effects—feels crisp and satisfying. Here’s where the road gets bumpy—especially at launch. Street Fighter V was heavily criticized for launching with minimal single-player content, unreliable online matchmaking, and a shaky netcode. Over time, Capcom addressed many of these issues, adding: -Story Mode and Character Stories -Arcade Mode (a fan-demanded feature) -Challenges and Trials -Training Mode with excellent tools -A robust Ranked and Casual Matchmaking system The CFN (Capcom Fighters Network) improved over time, though online play remains hit-or-miss depending on region and connection quality. Street Fighter V is the ultimate redemption arc in the fighting game genre. From a shaky, incomplete launch to a full-featured and mechanically rewarding fighter, it stands today as a competitive juggernaut with a global community and a legacy of high-level play. Its aggressive pace, colorful roster, and unique mechanics offer a different flavor from IV or VI, and for those willing to put in the time, it rewards both newcomers and tournament veterans alike. Not perfect—but powerful, passionate, and pure Street Fighter at its core. Rating: 8/10

Still plays great and even better that its on sale. Character design is good, and the only rainbow is Mika!

i brought every fighters pass only for street fighter 6 to come out (both great games btw)

A great game that when I'm done playing street fighter 6 I wind down on this game has something for everyone ^^

Initially it was just a game to wind up after being tired (of playing other games), but recently I've tried notching up the difficulty and it feels very competitive and fun. Highly recommend, even more than SF6.

Visually, my favorite Street Fighter game. And while I suck buns at it, I can admit that even then, just trying to play is a very fun experience every time. #BringBackLucia

Street Fighter V is a fun and exciting fighting game that delivers solid gameplay and hours of entertainment. One of the things I enjoy most is the wide range of character choices — each fighter has their own unique style and abilities, which keeps the matches fresh and competitive. The game also offers lots of options and different modes, from story and arcade to online battles and training. Whether you’re a casual player or looking to get competitive, there’s something here for everyone. Overall, Street Fighter V is a great pick for fighting game fans. It’s fast, fun, and packed with content to keep you coming back for more.

tldr: this game is aging better than i expected, i like the art style now and it feels good to play. I was able to find matches in ranked and this game does have cross platform support. Barring the low playing numbers, this is a good bang for your buck when its on sale. Costumes galore, soundtrack is pretty good, i find the colors to pop in this game. Menu UI is a little bloated but i like the battle UI, its clean. It has a survival mode and a huge amount of combo trials thats about all i can ask for casual solo playing.

Very good game would recommend if you are interested in the story of street fighter, if not i would say to just get sf6

street fighter 6 but with mad amounts of booty

This is my first street fighter game. Good game.

A lot of value with champion edition when on sale

How could I recommend a game that pushed a rootkit to a live product?

Incredible game, I played it on PS4 first and I NEEDED to get it on PC.

Not much of combos, tekken is better

miss my childhood with this game back then..

The last good Street Fighter.

Capcom is full of COWARDS for not making me good

Uninstalled SF6 and got this one instead. Great game.
