Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Reviews
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, as a product, is what Capcom should have shot for in 2016. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, the core game, is a good fighter that's getting better. If you don't already own a copy of Street Fighter V, this is a really nice spot to jump in. If you do already own a copy and the Season 1 and 2 characters, well, the update is free. So have at it.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is about as damn near to a perfect fighter game as you can get.
Long story short, Street Fighter V was never a bad game, just a lacking game, which Arcade Edition corrects.
Updated and expanded, Street Fighter is fully fighting fit again – and the result is a must-play title.
It's a weird situation because people have already been burned by Street Fighter V, so these small Arcade tweaks probably aren't going to be game-changing enough to bring you back. If you're still active, these changes and another season will keep you going. It's that simple.
Arcade Edition is a breath of fresh air for Street Fighter 5, which is finally the game it should have been at launch.
