Street Fighter V story mode key art, screenshots

I can't post new topics at the GAF, but if I could, I would title it: "Polygon basically says SFV story mode is going to suck ass"

I hate namby-pamby kid-glove previews like this. Just say it's going to suck. Call Capcom out. SFV has been such a wreck in terms of managing fan expectations, and that's what "game journalists" can actually go to the trouble of calling out. Sigh.
Are you asking him to be a good "game journalists" or not? Comments like that confuse me.
 
I'm glad they gave up on the Zenny store. Let's focus on other shit.

And playing all the DLC characters before they launch sounds straight up dope.

Eh, I dunno. I really don't trust Gies' opinions on things, especially fighting games which I'm pretty sure isn't his forte, but I will say I was hoping for two round fights. It would be nice if that was a setting or something.

Daily Challenges are currently being re-tooled and optimized for the game, and we will share the new timing of this feature as soon as we more details. The feature will now be called “Targets,” and they will still be daily goals for players to complete and generate Fight Money, which can be used to purchase in-game content like new characters and costumes.
New single player modes including Extra Battle and Versus CPU are also in the works. We’ll share more details on these modes and features as soon as we can.

Guessing Extra Battle is basically the Arcade mode but probably without the intros and outros.

"That said, my time demonstrated some problems. The most superficial and likely to be unremarked upon is the continued fan-service present throughout. In case you didn't notice, Street Fighter 5 is extremely interested in detailing its female characters' asses. It's particularly creepy with upcoming DLC character Ibuki, whose canonical baggyish ninja outfit has been replaced with a short-skirted schoolgirl thing that still includes a ninja mask because why not."

This article is a joke.

One-round fights in the story modes with undoubtedly brainless AI. Only two difficulty options in the new story mode.
Can't be bothered to implement a simple ladder mode with multiple difficulty options. Seems they're only going to patch in a "Versus CPU" mode, which I assume will be a single fight.

I've reached the obvious conclusion that Crapcom really doesn't want people to play this game offline, which is a bit at odds with the fact that the entire game is oriented towards offline high-level tournament.

Anyway, fuck Capcpom.

Still better than GG Xrd Sign's story mode.

Capcom made a big post about the late June update: http://www.capcom-unity.com/harriso...v-cinematic-story-and-additional-june-updates

-Daily challenges are being re-tooled and will be released later
-All of the DLC characters (including Ibuki, Boxer, Urien, and Juri) are playable in the story mode
-The in-game store will go live with the June update
-They're removing Zenny and just doing cash transactions through Steam and PSN's built-in systems
-Story is 3-4 hours (in devspeak; so probably 1.5-2 hours)

Also that Balrog image is bordering on Mr. Popo.

I'm sure Vs CPU will be just like any other vs mode where you'll be able to set up CPU difficulty, number of rounds and time. IIRC they already have CPU settings programmed, so they'll probably just used those. Then again this is Capcom and common sense hasn't been integral to this game's development, so we'll have to wait and see.
I'm just excited to finally see Urien in action.

Thank you for summing up what I wanted to say after reading this stuff

I'm detecting large amounts of salt!

I'll probably be moving to Ibuki once she's available though.

That's what I meant, just a single fight against the CPU, instead of a ladder with an increasing difficulty.

Avatar bet?

Nah.

Holy fuck so much new info, can't wait for story mode! That art is fantastic btw. Also, FUCKING URIEN!!!!
 
That first piece of art looks like the guy who drew it didn't give any fucks but the guy who colored it in gave too many. If that even makes sense.

Anyways, have they set a date for this story mode yet? I couldn't find it anywhere.
