Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Reviews
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.
After two years of additions and tweaks, Capcom has finally gotten Street Fighter V into the state it should've launched in. What was only a tournament-ready fighter is now a robust package. A roster of 29 characters, the long-awaited Arcade Mode, Extra Battle, Challenges, a great Training Mode, and solid online play add up to a release that shouldn't be missed for avid fighting game fans.
A variety of offline modes, a fresh coat of paint, and a big new gameplay addition gives Street Fighter V a new lease on life.
Street Fighter V moves up several weight divisions, as it puts its launch problems behind it and finally becomes worthy of its iconic name.
Street Fighter 5 Arcade Edition marks the completion of a transformation from bare-bones fighting game with a rock-solid core to a fully featured example of the genre at its best. The new V-Triggers are sure to shake up the competitive scene, while the nostalgic new modes breathe new life into the single-player fighting.
Arcade Edition is a breath of fresh air for Street Fighter 5, which is finally the game it should have been at launch.
