Definitely worth $15. People seem to always forget that the fighting engine in the game feels excellent. Just look out for online. Very difficult since most people are near professionals to very solid.

not even close man...

Bronze, Silver leave and gold are very populated and still fairly beginner level players

Also buy this game!!! $15 is a steal! You can get the rest of the characters playing through Sp and casual matches, doing challenges and trials. Pretty easy to get half a million fight money

Not as good as the $10 amazon deals obviously, but not bad.

Maybe I am playing the wrong online modes because I never fight players at a beginner level. 1800-3900BP is the average skill level players I play. Maybe I am worst than I thought?

 

[Renekton]

If I can get decent Bronze/Silver matches at South East fking Asia, you guys should have no issues too

 

[Village]

PS4 version btw, should be in OP.

Oh nevermind,

 

[Danis Saur]

Thank you for advising us OP!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Just in time for the Akuma announcement

 

[Ovid]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

 

[Zafir]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

There's the story mode which is a free download. Lasts about two hoursish and has single fight rounds.

Otherwise you have to turn the AI on inside training mode to play against an AI.

 

[Omnistalgic]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

Story mode has been added already, vs CPU as well. Official arcade mode where you go through all the characters is still on the way

No you don't you can versus CPU now just like you're playing another person and set it to any difficulty.

Story mode also takes longer than two hours to beat because it has another difficulty after you complete it once.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Also there is the trials

 

[Omnistalgic]

Also there is the trials

And Easy/normal and maybe hard survival??

Hard is pushing it though if your not playing with your main. 50 rounds is crazy for that insane Bison to come
Out with instant reads and combos lol!!

 

[hollomat]

I got a copy during the Amazon price glitch for $10. Still felt like I overpaid.

 

[Ovid]

I might pick it up then.

I still don't get why those basic modes weren't included upon intital release.

 

[Lucky Seven]

Oh. PS4. That's my family console for kid friendly stuff. Can't expose kids in the house to waifus just yet.

 

[Zafir]

Fair enough, that must have been in the most recent patch I guess? Not played it recently as there's just been too many other games out.

I think your second point is silly though. Just because there's another difficulty mode doesn't mean you can up the hours of it taking to complete it.

Just because there's like five difficulty levels of Uncharted doesn't mean I can say it lasts 50 hours, lol.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

You can fight the CPU in Vs. mode.

Also, there's survival and story mode.

 

[Crayon]

Pick it up but don't you dare go online.



Have fun guys!

This is absurd. It's awesome online.

 

[Leona Lewis]

This is the lowest the game has been, no? Kinda tempted... Hopefully a deal like this can come to Canada soon. How's their international shipping?

It's been $10 three times on Amazon, and I missed it all three times. This is the first time in a while it's been this cheap, though, which bodes well for even lower BF prices if you're patient.

 

[Neoxon]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

• The Cinematic Story Mode has been available since July
• Vs. CPU has been available since September
• Arcade Mode was leaked to be in development about a month ago

 

[Acerac]

What an odd thing to say. What do you mean by this?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

What an odd thing to say. What do you mean by this?

Skill level of online competition will be very high considering how badly it flopped with casuals.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Your getting up there on points if your playing people with that amount of LP, maybe you're better than you think mate ;-)

Also there's beginners that pretty much stay beginners, they just play a lot, don't mean they are really good even with a decent amount of LP

 

[TheTylerRob]

This isn't true. Lot's of people still playing that are beginners. Rankings mean very little from Rookie to Ultra Bronze.

 

[MillionStabs]

Is there no skill based match making? Wouldn't new players be matched with other new players or is there a smurfing problem?

lol yeah that's fair...just wanted to point it out since so many ppl called it too easy. Also dunno why the rounds aren't set to two lol.

@Millionstabs yeah there's matchmaking, usually setting you up consistently in your bracket. Silver, Bronze gold etczzz

 

[Kashiwaba]

Match making working well now I'm gold league and i only get matched with people at gold league or ultra silver.

 

[Crayon]

I don't think there is another fighter right now where you will find such a full base of players with a range of skill levels. I play casually and I'm usually hanging around the bronze-super bronze level (that's low) and I get mostly good matches. Tons of learners and really bad scrubs who are playing for fun.

 

[Aenima]

Yes there is and it works great. In Ranked online matches you only play with players that are close to your league points.

In casual matches the matchmaking is the same, but in casual matches you dont win or lose league points, so if a pro player never touches the ranked mode he can stay in the rookie league bodiying the real rookies. Thats why i always recomend to play ranked matches to play against players close to your skill level.

 

[VariantX]

Is there no skill based match making? Wouldn't new players be matched with other new players or is there a smurfing problem?

Im a silver player and I never fight anyone higher than an ultra silver and no one lower than a super bronze. It's far better at matching you at the appropriate skill levels than it used to be.

 

[panama chief]

Anyone feeling friendly enough to gift it? My video game budget is in shambles. 😓

 

[LincolnTunnel]

What does Bomba even mean anymore?

 

[CrispyBoar]

What does Bomba even mean anymore?

Means that a game has very terrible sales that causes prices of games to be lowered a lot sooner than later.

 

[LincolnTunnel]

This game has been out for like 10 months, and is only this cheap with a site wide 50% off coupon. That seems like a pretty normal price drop to me.

 

[Tizoc]

But there isn't a single player/arcade mode, right?

There was always single player mode in the game since release
There was no traditinal arcade mode tho

 

[CosmicQueso]

Is this the relaunch of SFV?

 

[deadscreensky]

There's the story mode which is a free download. Lasts about two hoursish and has single fight rounds.

Otherwise you have to turn the AI on inside training mode to play against an AI.

It's important to be clear that the vast, vast majority of time spent in that mode is on (kind of middling) cutscenes. In terms of actual time spent playing the game it's maybe equivalent to an arcade run or two in Third Strike.

It's technically single player, of course, but it's not a gameplay-orientated experience and I think that's what people are really asking about with this sort of question. Like sure, SF5 actually launched with solo content -- it included a badly designed and incredibly slow survival mode which hasn't been improved at all -- but it's not something anybody is going to enjoy spending serious time with. Still not a lot available on that front.

I'm not suggesting people stay away from the game, but whatever reasons have kept them away so far are probably still an issue. SF5 today is essentially just launch SF5 with some more characters, some small tweaks, and a story mode with bad gameplay. Any major changes are going to come in 2017. It's a better product, but it hasn't been transformed or anything.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

What do I get in this (I assume) vanilla game? Is there a season pass and what would I be missing without it?

 

[lucebuce12]

What do I get in this (I assume) vanilla game? Is there a season pass and what would I be missing without it?

You get the 16 original characters. You don't get the 6 DLC characters, but by clearing through a lot of the (very easy) single player stuff, you can get enough FM to get at least 5 of those characters.

And those characters also have those single player things.

The season pass only gives those 6 characters, a premium costumes for each of those characters, all the colours for the 6 characters and Guile's stage.

All the other stages and alt costumes aren't included in the season pass so you're on the same level as season pass owners in that regard.

EDIT: Check out the new OT for Street Fighter 5 for more information

Awesome. Will probably get it.

I might pick this up again then for such a cheap price. My early experience sucked and turned me off.

 

[RedAssedApe]

also instead of playing ranked maybe try joining some lobbies
