That's what the character stories are for, arcade mode style content that explains the backstory of each character;

It's launching super early I'm pretty sure. It's not slow, just early!
Anyway, as one of the people who was pretty sure we were just getting those stupid still pictures, I'm really happy about this!
Aw man, don't get my hopes up!

Let's explain better...
SFV will be launch with story mode like SFIV launched (or every SF before it).
SFV will receive a new cinematic story mode in June never saw in SF game before.
Now it is clear?
But there is a story mode to dick around with:

Even though it might disappoint, good effort to capcom for putting some effort in the story department. I demand a chun li vega apartment fight scene.

Nothing about it even really suggests its her other than shes talking to Charlie.. I'd be more likely to think it was her if thats Charlie after he gets revived but we can't tell from that angle.
Probably because they're treating it more as a service and they want to get a good foundation out as soon as possible into the gen and add on to it with dlc/updates.
Fuck story mode. Capcom focusing this game on competitions and tournaments. Where is a decent mode where you can learn the game properly that isn't as barbones as Trials. Teach newcomers how to play mind games, cross ups, when to throw, jump, anti air and etc. Teach best normals to use, best reach, etc. Have challenges where you can defeat the opponent with only a certain criteria so you learn the game.
This should be Capcom's priority and I hope they have done this.
They can even add custom user created trials/challenges for intermediate players.
As for Story it's fine for the casuals, however I'm wondering how interesting they can make it with the small roster and lack of background stages in comparison to Mortal Kombat. They don't have much to work with.

This nuts how well Capcom is doing right by this game. I seriously can't believe it. It...it like almost makes me emotional. Street Fighter is one of my most beloved franchises. This makes me so happy.
It's been a long time since I've felt the need to say this, but thank you Capcom.

These aren't things that you can teach in a tutorial because they are things the community will develop with experience. How the hell do you teach someone yomi?
There has been rumors about some people already play testing Balrog, so everyone imagines he would be the first. Guile showing up as a picture is more than any other DLC character that we haven`t seen anything (aside from Alex in a stage).
There`s also a big change I am completely wrong and, in a completely delusional twist, they decide to launch Ibuki and Urien first, because reasons.
I am waiting for Juri and I hope I don`t have to wait too much.

The same story that has always been in SF is still there. This is an extra that takes the series on par with MK9/X
Its not a staple of the series or even the genre. People should not be buying these games for story mode. They will get their ass kicked very quickly (even by the default cpu) and regret their purchase.
Also fuck what Angry joe thinks about a fighting game, sorry.
Offline multiplayer, Character story mode, challenges, training mode..nah not at all.
By putting in characters that aren't playable yet like Decapre.
It's not like MKX had a ton of screen time for everybody, anyway. It was nothing but cameos for the majority of the characters in the game.
I am happy with everything Capcom has done however you gotta admit the game is barbones.
If they delayed this game for June it would have launched with cinematic story mode as well as a 18-20 character roster. I'm not mad though as I want the game ASAP.
How about we fucking wait for the game to come out first before we call it barebones, huh?

Everything does especially with the story now ties SFV to SFIII. Charlie's Gem on his head points to him being a agent for the Illuminati. Kolin is Gill's personal assistant and in the Udon comics was the one that found Charlie for Gill. We all know Charlie isnt working for Bison or the US Special forces anymore.

What difference does it make having the game now and getting the content in june as opposed to just... waiting for june? lol Also barebones based on what? Character number? How is 16 characters barebones but 18 ok?
Releasing in june would mess with EVO and that's worse than any story mode inconvenience.

It's probably better to get it out now since if the story mode is free and you can work to get the characters for free, theoretically you could just wait for June, get the game used/on sale and still get the same experience while paying way less.
Very nice move though. Not the kind of thing I'd have expected from the Capcom of a few years ago. If this expansion's as significant as it looks it's a great way to draw people back in after the honeymoon period.

Ooh, really? Don't care too much about Guile but I really hope that Balrog is first. It just makes too much sense you know?
Also weird comparison, but is this game starting to remind anyone of Splatoon?

We don't have a boxer in the starting lineup for the first time.. So I would say balrog is up first.
People forget that SFV is supposed to be an evergreen title for the entire generation so it doesn't matter if some casual players won't buy it at launch because they want a bigger story mode, Capcom will continue to add content to the game so people will be enticed to buy it even later (see Ninendo's games like Mario Kart and Splatoon).
And as Destiny showed addicting grinding is more important than a big story mode.

C'mon capcom 
not again with this.
Splatoon was barebones at release. Now look where it is along with it's community.
If the updates are free, honestly I don't really give a fuck and would rather have my Street Fighter sooner than later.
Also this.

I'm open to the idea because it's the first time we don't have a boxer in the roster, other than that I could careless if he was played behind close doors.

Can we step back for a moment and really appreciate the state of the fighting game genre?
It's actually gotten to the point where having a great fighting game isn't enough to be considered a great fighting game. Now, you LITERALLY have to produce AN ENTIRE FULL-LENGTH MOVIE on the side, or people will call your game "barebones".
That's crazy.
And, this is coming from someone who loves fighting game stories and characters. Personally, I'm very excited for this content. But, I'm not taking it for granted, because I've been a fan of this genre for decades. I know where we came from.
In regards to SF5, I never want to hear another person say "remember the good old days when games were launched complete?"
In the "good old days" fighting games weren't required to create full length animated movies just to be considered "worth the money". In the "good old days", fighting game tournaments didn't see annual infusions of half a million dollars from the company creating the game (even before the Sony deal, Capcom did this in 2012). In the "good old days", new characters didn't get patched in as free earnable content post launch...you had to buy upgrades as new games, for full price. In the "good old days", broken overpowered crap stayed broken and overpowered. In the "good old days", we didn't get to beta test SF2 in our homes multiple times before release.
The expectations are higher than ever, costs of making the games are higher than ever, yet we still pay the same price we paid in the 90s for SF2. Perspective is a mo fo.
The state of the FG union is undeniably better than it's ever been, and people need to appreciate that. A four month wait for free, additional, high quality content when the launch game already IS high quality content? This is not a problem, in the least.

I'm well aware of all of that. I'm saying that specific shot from the trailer doesn't. We don't have the context for it. We can't even tell if its zombie charlie. Could be a quick flash back or something. Nothing about that design looks like Kolin who still has her old design in the recent comic.

We didn't even know this cinematic story mode existed until this morning. Combofiend says there will be other single player modes. Why admit something when we don't know what the game is going to launch with?

Yes based on the clothing... considering Kolin dresses nothing like that.
and one of the Judgement girls turned out to be Necro's girlfriend... so yes they are part of the story.

They expect now because almost all of the competition has had it. Things change, expectations evolve.
People should stop trying to compare the casual fan of today to the casual fan of the 90s or 2000s.
