Street Fighter V story mode key art, screenshots

story mode will have interesting cutscenes I guess? lol

I didn't know story mode was being directed by the creative force behind Deadly Premonition.
 
I mean that could be the case, or it could also be that they set it to one so that they could demo more of it within the preview times they have with the press.
Of course, just like "character story mode is probably the arcade mode replacement,
and
"versus cpu with best of 3 matches are at demo stations before launch, so this option will definitely be available in SFV at launch"

At this point, capcom doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me.

True, and I don't fault you for thinking that way.
 
This looks pretty cool. Almost makes me wish I didn't sell my $15 amazon copy for $33 before playing through this mode.

It is still not a replacement for a proper Arcade mode though... which would give MUCH more than 4 hours of playtime...

ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE PLAYABLE IN STORY MODE!
Holy shit I wasn't expecting that! Amazing news!

Worth mentioning: All six DLC characters will be playable in story mode. They still need to be balanced for competitive play so they're not final but still, that's cool.

Also, they said it's 3-4 hours, which is a bit longer than the 1-2 that was originally going around.

Is that really that big of a deal? To get to play them for 2-3 matches each, with basically zero difficulty?

I think it kinda is.... we will be able to see how character looks in the actual game, as well as learn some of the character moveset and overall feel. Even if it's not the final version of the character...
 
Sean reacting to the server being down was really good. He looks like an NPC model though, Azam looks complete though.

Bengus in 2015/2016 is still terrible. Akiman is a phone call away Capcom.
 
The complaints don't resonate with me AT ALL. I don't give a shit about playing multiple vs. CPU matches in Story Mode. Hell, I enjoyed Guilty Gear Xrd's -SIGN-'s story, which had literally zero fights.
Agreed. I think Guilty Gear Xrd got story mode perfect for fighting games. Just treat it like a mini series inside the game.
 
That artwork isn't even bad. It's not the best Bengus art I've ever seen, but it's a lot better than the actual in-game cutscene stuff.

nah me either, I just want some cheap boss battles like Shin Akuma or Seth with crazy health.

Versus CPU is coming and I dunno what extra battle mode is, between that and "targets" it should be a nice boost to SP content. Those other modes need to come like soon though, hope July after evo at the latest. I need my daily challenges!!

Also why is there 2 threads ?

Once they stop giving them away for free, this will be the only way to try before you buy. So it seems like a large gain for players, even if the mode itself ends up shitty.
 
Holy fuck, this seems really good. I didn't have high expectations but this update might get me playing a lot more.
Decent looking story mode, ALL DLC characters playable in it, no more zenny system, more stage transitions and stage versions.
Urien also looks fucking dope.
I'm really hoping this update will be the start of this game turning around. Still got more to fix.
It's also pretty sad to see the usual people that just have to complain no matter what
 
Yo this is sick. All six characters? I am so hyped for this update. Also the story mode complaints are weird, is their any fighting game that has more than 1 round story mode fights?

Anyways people are mad, people are salt, but for me this update is exactly what I wanted and more.

Karin <3

I'm a big proponent of extra content for single player but I really don't see any appeal in a mode with little to no actual gameplay. Xrd's story mode may as well not have existed for me. Thankfully it does still have an arcade mode and a mission mode though so I still got a lot of playtime out of the game.
 
It's not a good sign when I'm taken out of the moment every time a female character besides Karin or Chun-Li shows up on the field.

Cammy needs to pull out her wedgie and put on some trousers. R. Mika shouldn't even exist. Laura needs new pants and a proper gi. Ibuki... well, I can give her a pass because she's cute, but this armor-directly-on-skin thing really needs to stop.

But hey! Nothing new here. The story just makes it that much more obvious how idiotic the designs are. Sigh. Business as usual at Capcom, I guess.
 
Wow Urien finally looks good

We needed just to remove characters (or sheep) from the stage to get something beautiful. Can't wait to have my Night Hillside Plaza

If the AI is braindead you can just repeat the chapter to get an idea as to how they play despite them being unfinished. It's not hard to expect that the characters have their movesets finished, but just need parts changed for balance.
