Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Reviews

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is ranked in the 79th percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
May 5, 2020

Money aside, Street Fighter V: Championship Edition doesn’t do much to fix a long list of problems that the fighting game community has pointed out about this game since the beginning and doesn’t look like they’ll do anything about it either. Long term fans will know to avoid this like the plague, diehards would have all of the content already at triple the price, and newcomers are smart for waiting out to buy this game cheap.

Street Fighter V is more than capable of holding its own in a fight, especially the new Champion Edition; it’s just not an all-time great like its dad.

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is the version that every fan of the fighting games was waiting for, 40 fighters, 34 stages, and more than 200 cosmetic objects complete a game that already has all its modes in full - in the absence of the already announced Online Tournament Mode - And it has also been able to touch up the gameplay with the inclusion of a second V-Skill for each fighter, which will make the fighting somewhat more interesting and unpredictable. If you like the fighting games, this is your game.

Street Fighter V Champion Edition is definitely the "definitive" version that all fans of the beloved Capcom fighting game series would have always wanted. "Immense" Roster, lots of clothes with which you can personalize your favorites and different game modes offline and online (although rarely continues to suffer from latency problems). The price of the stand alone bundle is perfectly in focus, with around € 30 you take home the base game plus 40 fighters, 200 costumes and many other interesting features. Completely different matter regarding the cost of the "upgrade kit", too high for those who already own one of the previous versions of Street Fighter V.

The final dragon punch to our collective genitals: 2018 saw in-game advertising come along and it still irritates us in this version. Prepare to marvel at your screen as SFV tries to up-sell you the very content that's come free with your copy of Champion.

This is exactly what Street Fighter players have wanted. A game where all of their favorite characters and skins are available, and not having to wait for Capcom to release them when they see fit. The fighting is engaging and rewarding. Each fighter feels unique and offers a wide array of offensive attacks that land as intended. But with most modes locked behind the PS Plus service, it's a hard buy, even if you are looking to upgrade from the base Street Fighter V game.

If you don't like the price, wait for a discount. If you can't stomach a couple of problems on the technical side of things, the most serious of which being the bad netcode, wait for a patch. If you consider yourself a fun of fighting games, however, do get Street Fighter V: Champion Edition. It's a highly enjoyable title that will manage to please newcomers and veterans, and it has tons of content for those who aren't into the online aspect of it all. It's Street Fighter V as it always should be.

Undoubtedly, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is one of the best and most complete fighting games of this generation; Exactly what it should have been in the beginning but didn't get to be due to Capcom's policies which didn't let the game to have more time to develop. But Capcom is now completely different from then, it stayed true to its word and supported the game up until now and has managed to give a new life to the 5th installment of one of the oldest and most popular fighting series of all time.

If you have failed to play SFV, now is a good opportunity to experience this title along with all its released content and a reasonable price. SFV CE, with more than 40 characters, 34 stages, and more than 200 outfits, as well as various modes in the singleplayer section and appropriate balance changes, certainly has a high value. However, The online section should have seen some improvements as well

Although the loading times do not really throw a spanner in the works, Capcom must do something about it. In addition, it would testify to fan service if the game is enriched with the fighters who are still missing. Just like the previous edition of the game, the Champion Edition is worth buying, unless you already have blisters and (digitally) bleeding knuckles. Then you have probably already played the most with your in-game money.

Four years after the release of Street Fighter V, it has become the game it should be. Things like core gameplay mechanics and art were good from the beginning, and they also improved a lot during the years. The main problem of the game was lack of content, which has been resolved in these years, and now we have a well-made Fighting game that’s full of content in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is a must-buy for Fighting game fans.

It's not perfect, and it is unlikely to win many new fans this far down the road, but finally Capcom's delivered the completed vision for Street Fighter V.

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is your best choice for buying SFV if you haven't invested in it yet, you’ll get a lot of content out of this edition. however, the price is very controversial especially for previous owners of the game, as all that you get is old content mixed with skins with no additions to the gameplay or new features.
