IGN - 8/10

When I'm playing Street Fighter V with friends, I'm completely lost in the heat of the moment. Win or lose, I'm attracted to the thrill of its action-oriented combat system, which discourages overcautious behavior and keeps fights moving along. There's an excellent foundation here, and for now, I am going to keep playing until I can put the servers to the test on launch day.

Destructiod - 8/10

It’s hard to criticize something that seems like it was tailor-made for a wannabe competitive player like me, but I just can’t ignore how little Street Fighter 5 does for the average fighting game player. It sports a wonderful, diverse cast of characters, places a clear emphasis on strong fundamental play, it gives competitive players a great online experience, and it does it all while looking gorgeous. Strictly in terms of mechanics and competitive features, Street Fighter 5 is just about peerless, but it has quite a ways to go before it stacks up against other fighting games - including its own predecessor - in terms of overall content.

EGM - 8/10

In many ways Street Fighter V is unfinished, but as a platform, it has strong legs. If Capcom sticks to its word, this could have just as long of a lifespan as IV, if not more.

Shacknews - 7/10

Street Fighter V paves the way for the future of Capcom’s legendary fighting game series—but it’s also a release that’s relying on near-future updates in order to feel like a finished product. Once they come, however, this should really be something special.

Hey guys,

I asked a couple of times about us having a PS4 community specifically for this game, no one answered and there is no news of it in the OT, so I spoke to a couple of guys here and we thought it'd be a good idea to make one.

I know there is one for the neogaf FGC already, but I thought it might be nice to have communities and channels of communication, for this game specifically.

I've also made a SFV group chat for Neogaf members, if you join this and favourite it, you can very quickly see everyone online, who you have in friends and who you don't, and message quickly everyone asking if they'd like to fight etc.. We use these group chats very successfully on other OTs like the Rainbow Six Siege OT. It can be handier when grouping people together.

If you'd like to join either group, just send me a message on PSN and I'll add you to both. If you only want to join one, then just leave the one you don't want to be in. My PSN is Chronospherics.

In addition, for ease of sharing CFN IDs between PC and PS4 players, here's a neogaf userlist you can add your CFN onto.

[Whales]

I hope the ''Failed to connect'' server messages are gone after the maintenance, it's the only reason I don't play ranked more.

(well, that and ragequits .-.)

 

[Tesseract]

hot ryu for all, capcom !

 

[KingBroly]

You forgot the V

I guess it makes sense.

 

[Robot Pants]

Sorry can a mod add the V in there for me? I just woke up and scrambled to make the thread when I saw it was over 20k

 

[E_Darkness]

We just burned our way through OT1. Another 5 days until I'm free from uni work for awhile and can get back to the grind of SFV.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

OT2 we in there GAF!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Leggo

 

[StriKeVillain]

That's a Capcpom title if I've ever seen one.

 

[Skilletor]

Thank you for not doing another troll title.

 

[entremet]

Does LP work on per character basis?

Or is it for your fighter ID as a whole?

I wanna mess around with another character on ranked, but I'm afraid of going down in points. Mostly because I'm getting good match ups and don't want to grind back up by bodying inexperienced players.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Superb OT.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

The "Street Fighter 4 Alpha" title was better

 

[Ouren]

This OT is OP

 

[Windforce]

I'm in! OT 2 here we go.

It's account wide, so if you risk a new character you will lose LP. Only level is character based.

Try casual matches so you do not lose points until you feel confident with the new character.

 

[Orcastar]

I wonder if battle lounges will finally start working after the maintenance.

Spoiler

Not holding my breath.

 

[def sim]

Ah I thought Garrett was making this.

The latter.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Ah, out of all possibilities you chose that one

Anyways, my errors are ready! Lets do this!

It's just for your account. Maybe get some casual action going before you jump into ranked with a new character.

 

[JayEH]

Thank you for not doing another troll title.

seems like a troll title to me.

 

[Rhaknar]

[Garrett Hawke]

[Smo21]

[Nephtes]

Let's hope this OT isn't 200 pages complaining about the servers like the last one.
The severs were finally as expected by Sunday night. Whew!

Enjoying the online aspects of the game since the servers stopped being garbage. Really enjoying Karin's moveset. Had no idea I would be maining Karin before Ibuki releases...thought it would be Ken all the way, till you jerks blew up my Ken gameplans. :C

 

[Piccoro]

The "Street Fighter 4 Alpha" title was better

seems like a troll title to me.

There's no need to have another negative thread about SFV. There's enough of them elsewhere.

Good title, OP.

 

[HabeeNo]

V has not come to

 

[mekes]

Couple fights I had an hour or so back. Karin makes me play a little more defensive than I'd like, I enjoy the match-up tho.

Karin V Ken

Ken V Karin

 

[AdmiralMikey]

Good title, would briefly read again. Could use a "V", 9/10.

 

[V_Arnold]

Yes? Coincidentally, I could not get into lobbies and had multiple DC's in ranked as well. Sunday night

 

[Basketball]

[Piccoro]

Wonder how long all these Bisons can hang on to their top rankings.

 

[Mington]

Just noticed there's a season pass dlc item on PSN which lists the 6 characters in order

Alex
Guile
Ibuki
Balrog
Juri
Urien

Could that be the order we're getting them (did we already know that?)

It's not 100%, only time will tell.

 

[Hasney]

Damn, that title is brutal. Mocking everyone who has to wait ages for a fight. Way more savage than OT1

 

[Marvel]

Sweet new thread.

Prefer my salty title though lol.

 

[Rhaknar]

dat feel of making a Ken go down a rank

edit: and right after I get destroyed by a Necalli. Yup, still no idea what to do against that character.

 

[Bakoery]

More like "Another fight is coming your way in March!"
