I thought it was fun enough but it is pretty disturbing that it took THIS long to get what we got. Do they have like 10 people working on this game lol.

seriously, why did we play as Vega/Claw and FANG so much? it was even worse when they were being super pervs/douchebags in the Story and we STILL had to play as them. makes zero sense.

Considering there was literally one guy working on the network side of things at their offices, it's possible.
The development team has now most likely increased after the retail release though.

SFV story is also the most funny and over-the-top of the three. Unfortunately it fails in everything else. A character like Rose would have been mandatory for more serious development.
What irks me was that they tried to dumb down M.Bison in favour of Gill. As if the Shadaloo cast were the ridiculous ones, while Urien and Gill were the cool and serious guys. At least SFIV treated Shadaloo more seriously when compared to V.
I'd never have expected Cammy to ally with Juri, the person she hated the most.
They could have idk....explained why he left
His face is on the statues of one of the stages at one point. I just really can't take FANG, he is more like a court jester than a General
And Balrog....Chun Li.....Cammy.....why are they not in street clothes or some police authority clothes??
Idk whatever, they have until October to give me arcade mode.

gief definitely is the MVP of the story mode lmao

It was explained in Alpha 3. Sagat only joined to get his rematch with Ryu. He wasn't big on what Bison was doing.

Statue? It's bison, vega, rog and fang
And alpha 3 explained why he left.. He was never a bad guy nor he is.

I think in FANGs story mode there's a Sagat statue instead.

So my brother tried to load up the SFV story, couldn't. Told him he needed to download the story DLC from the store. Only problem is, he couldn't find the DLC in the actual PS Store on the console and had to download it through the PlayStation Store on the PC.
The story was just greyed out on the menu with no prompt or anything saying you needed to download something else. Is that just a weird bug? Or is Capcom really expecting folks to figure out how to download the story DLC through other sources.

Really? Probably overlooked it
It s because at that point Fang had not yet replaced Sagat.

The story mode variation in Fang's story has Sagat in it.
The game doesn't really make clear that variation of the stage was before Fang joined and rose up the ranks and Shadaloo got around to changing it.
I get all my street fighter lore from the super best friends. But yeah, I think Dhalsim is supposed to be like one of the stronger dudes in some comic or movie Bison freaks the fuck out because he doesn't want to get into a match with Dhalsim. I think Dhalsim is also supposed to be really pure and maybe he gets strength from that... Isk
Bison is super strong, Oro is so strong he needs to tie an arm behind himself or people just die, Cody is insanely strong but he just has no discipline, Nash is incredibly strong, Gill is also strong, Ryu has the potential to be that strong and in one of his SF3 endings he is training with Oro.
The dream is that if they pick up from 3 that maybe Ryu does the hand behind his back thing and maybe he has a beard or something, you know, something to not just make him karate protagonist hobo man.

Some of you don't seem to understand that "fighting community and export" leads to MORE sales. The CPT is basically a year long advertisement for SF5. CEO just had 83,000 people tuning in. EVO will have even more.
Heck, EVO top 8 is going to be on ESPN2 BECAUSE of "fighting community and export".
That's even MORE exposure, which leads to more sales.
This is why the SF4 series went on to sell more than 8 million after vanilla SF4 sold 3 million.
The competitive scene is VERY important to the long term success of Street Fighter.
Well his body was weak, shouldn't we blame the person who thought zombication was the way to beat bison.
Also if you have character files, why not just get cody.
" Oh we need to fufill the prophecy to beat bison "
" fuck the prophecy get cody to take the cuffs off "
Cody is just walking up to bison
" Did that guy just take his cuffs off , hmm this might be a.... did he just pick up a knife? Fuck this I'm out "
You have saved the earth.
It loads p fast, but I suffered a slow down at the start of each fight cause the fighters would have a sound bite.

Just finished, loved it
Only thing I didn't care for is most of the time the AI was pretty much braindead, and a couple of fights are like OH YEAH RIGHT huge spike
Bison v Nash lol, stay away so you don't get comboed to hell. Was easy with Ryu but as someone who doesn't play Nash it was rough
Never thought I'd care about the story mode, really surprised how well done it was
EDIT: Also Ken looks fine in this. Not sure why he looks weird in the normal game

I can't believe that Capcom's writing is worse than "dweebenhiemer" era SNK...this is one of the worst stories I've played through in terms of plotting in any genre.
It's was like fan fiction that threw in everyone while really just wanting a few fighters to look strong and set up for SF3 (which is odd, seeing how little most SF3 characters have been seen in subsequent games).

No such problems for me, but I'm running it on SSDs and was still annoyed what load times there were.
Yeah, I thought so, too. I think it's the smile. Ibuki has a similar problem.

Finished it yesterday and I really liked it. It wasn't the greatest thing but it was fun for what it was, the loading times(PS4) were a bummer though. Didn't expect much honestly and it was pretty decent for a first try I'd say. Pretty cheesy here and there but those who liked SF stories in the past will enjoy a lot of the little touches they had throughout it. The fighting scenes could've been better and some characters didn't get to do much in the plot which was a let down. If anything, I would love to see another story mode or something for Season 2 if they can make it.
Also I definitely didn't expect Rashid to be the "main" character but it was a nice surprise. I guess that makes him SFV's main character like how Alex was in SF3/Abel in SF4. Biggest surprise was Zangief lol! Loved the character before but man, dude was just unexpectedly awesome in this. The guy is doing lariats, blocking Balrog punches and even katana's like nothing. Also patting brainwashed Abel's back after his failed attempt to throw Gief was hilarious as he proceeded to SPD Abel into unconsciousness. Seeing and fighting all the dolls were fun, nice to see them use character specific moves and Decapre seems to have most of her specials it seems. Ryu on the other hand finally seemed like SF3 Ryu at the end there, he was much more calm and he even can shoot Hadouken beams like his VS series version. Sucks that we didn't get to see him train or anything though
.
And did anybody like the different/remix of stages there? Hopefully they add those for sale in the shop as some of them were pretty cool.

I had the exact same thought. What's the point of his alt then, right?
Haha, yeah, I'm on PC, but whenever there is an update, everything gets replaced back to original state (and i didn't use to see the bikini before the update o-o)
I don't remember exact model numbers but it's a i5, 8gb ram, a 660 and it s loading from ssd.
It doesn't happen in regular fights as far as I ve seen. Only history mode.
Settings are med everything except filtering and shadows which are high, iirc. Tried high everything but I got slowdowns during the fights
Does anyone have any ideas about this? It's really pissing me off.

are you on ps4? make sure the region of the game matches with the region where you download the story dlc. I had asia region disc of SF V and I had to download the dlc from asian store even though I always play on my US PSN account. even worse, in asia store, there are 2 version of story dlc, one with English/Chinese languange and another one with English/Japanese.
I had to download the dlc twice because I get the wrong version.
the best way to make sure you get the right dlc is to go to PS4 main screen, go to your SF V icon and check 'related items', it'll show the available dlc, including the story dlc. it will bring you directly to PSN store. but make sure you're using the PSN account with the same region as your game region.
Yeah I just beat it.
It was honestly kinda bad. I guess Capcom gets A for effort for releasing something. I've never cared about SF "lore" (lol), and this certainly didn't make me start caring. I liked Gief the best, he was funny.

Yeah this is nowhere close to MK9 in terms of a good jump-in point for the story
They give zero fucks about whether you know the characters or not, so if you haven't played too much or don't have much knowledge of the characters, you won't care

Doesn't seem like it, though you can choose to skip battles when they come up.

Shush it with all those facts. it didn't cater to all my needs at launch therefore it can never cater to me.
Well it's the most cohesive Street Fighter plot.

30k Fight Money for finishing Story mode the first time, 50k for finishing it in Extra difficulty.
There is. 50k FM.
i only played the MK reboot, but i honestly don't remember anything special about the story mode

The irony is that MK has sorta been doing this focus on its story stuff since its inception, but it took up to MK9 for people to finally give a shit.
Then again, presentation is everything. Most people still don't realize Sagat was never a real part of Shadoloo.
Do we see Shin Bison in the extra difficulty or is just the same old stuff we saw with the normal fight.
This might sound silly but is it simply because there's no arcade version of the game?

Same stuff, extra hard.
Reminder everyone, that you can skip through the cutscenes for extra difficulty and only play the fights and it'll still give you the 50k FM at the end.
