Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Reviews
If you felt like the previous iteration of Street Fighter V felt a little anemic, this one is easily an embarrassment of riches. With more new features than is reasonable to recap here, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition is everything the original game should have been, and much more.
The Arcade Edition added features give it a lot of meat for sure, but the irony is most of it is ultimately filler to the core gameplay experience that was first available in 2016. This leaves Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition in a curious middle ground of being an excellent niche product, but only a “good” video game.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is a shining star in the Street Fighter family. Everything about it feels refined, smooth, and it harkens back to a more concentrated fighting time where the bells and whistles of the fighting experience purely relied on characters and moves. It's good, folks, especially on the PC.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition finally looks and feels like a game it should have been a long time ago. It has depth, lots of content and a superb fighting system. It is a right choice for rookies and veterans alike, and at the same time it’s the best beat’em up of current generation.

In sum, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition is precisely what many gamers wanted two years ago. The roster, balance, modes, and amount of content are now fleshed out and in a convenient complete package. For anyone that has been waiting for this release, you're not likely to be disappointed.
Long story short, Street Fighter V was never a bad game, just a lacking game, which Arcade Edition corrects.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is getting much closer to the throne and it's becoming the best entry in the series. The quality is high and the future is bright in this one!

It took nearly two years to get the game we should have received at launch. But what we now have is an incredible experience.
The Arcade Edition certainly makes up for all the criticisms tossed at the Street Fighter V for lacking content. This is a damn fine fighting game now, it's just a shame everyone had to wait two years to get it.
After two years, Capcom has finally delivered on what they set out to do the first time they released Street Fighter 5, the created a fast, fun and featured-rich fighting game, with a large roster, new modes, and crazy combos.
Street Fighter V Arcade Edition it's the best way to jump into the world of one of the best fighting game in history.

While it's taken us nearly two years to get to the point where Street Fighter V probably should have been soon after it launched, in a way, seeing the game grow into what it's become in Arcade Edition almost makes the experience just that much sweeter. The core of Capcom's latest Street Fighter entry has always been great, but now, everything surrounding that core has finally reached an equal level of quality.
Judging purely on the current state of Street Fighter V, with the new additions and inclusion of the season 1 and 2 characters in the Arcade Edition, it is most certainly one of the must-own fighters on the market right now. The arcade mode is enough to warrant anyone picking this up, even if it has arrived far too late. The FM changes are unfortunate, but the biggest peeve is that Arcade Edition itself is an extremely limited package, since everything here, barring the previous DLC characters, are free updates for owners of the original. The least Capcom could have done is put a few extra costumes and stages in there because, otherwise, the only reason to pick this up is if you don't already have SFV and want a cheap way of buying it and the first two character packs. SFV will have plenty more years in it, but being so tight and not turning this release into a current ultimate edition is disappointing, even if it's not surprising.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition needs a hearty round of applause.
When it was released, Street Fighter V featured an interesting gameplay and it was set to receive a lot of content. The first year was solid, while the second year is debatable. However, the third season has already begun in the right way with the launch of the Arcade Edition. The game got even better with the new modes and gameplay options. For those who were afraid to check out the game, it is time to do it. The only problem, for now, is the changes made to get Fight Money.

We have a gorgeous game with fantastic fighting gameplay complimented by a solid roster with a variety of satisfying modes. Better late than never?
SFV: Arcade Edition is the most complete version of Street Fighter V that brings in great single-player and local multiplayer additions.
The true potential of Street Fighter V has finally been reached with the Arcade Edition, making it the most content rich release of the series so far, with a deep and engaging gameplay system that tests the limit of your skills.
Since coming out two years ago, a lot of improvements and additions have been applied that strengthened the game's solid foundation, and this edition addresses the game's biggest remaining complaint, enriching its content immensely.

It’s not the deluxe edition that people were hoping for and doesn’t entirely fix any of the problems present from the vanilla version. It could’ve been amazing, but it just falls short of a great comeback.
