SFV “A Shadow Falls” and Two New Characters Release

Hey everyone! On July 1st, we will release a major new update for Street Fighter V. The update will include a ton of new content, including the highly-anticipated cinematic story mode titled “A Shadow Falls” as well as the next two characters to join the roster: Ibuki and Balrog. The story mode will be available to all players as free downloadable content, and all released post-launch characters can be purchased using in-game earned Fight Money or real currency.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cinematic Story Mode

The Cinematic Story Mode must be downloaded as a separate update from the PS Store or Steam Store. All players will have to first patch Street Fighter V with the 1.04 update by logging into CFN and then download the Cinematic Story Mode update for it to be accessible in the game.

Server Maintenance

We will be conducting server maintenance starting June 30th at 14:00 PT / 10 PM BST / 11 PM CET with the update going live on July 1st at 00:00 PT (midnight) / 08:00 BST / 09:00 CET.

“A Shadow Falls”

The Street Fighter V cinematic story expansion is divided into five acts and takes place between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III, bridging the events that happen in between the two stories. “A Shadow Falls,” depicts the ultimate battle between the evil Shadaloo organization and the heroic World Warriors who rise up against them. As the story unfolds, players will enter battles using each of the core 16 characters, in addition to the 6 (released and unreleased) 2016 DLC characters, each with their own unique contribution to the epic clash. “A Shadow Falls” is free content available to all players and it marks the first time in franchise history that consumers will be able to play through this type of cinematic experience in a Street Fighter game. The epic battle between good and evil begins soon… who will RISE UP?

Balrog

Announced earlier this week, Balrog is one of the most iconic characters in Street Fighter history, first appearing as a boss character in Street Fighter II. He’s always been one of the most vicious characters to ever appear in the series, using his devastating boxing style and questionable tactics to do whatever it takes to win a fight. Balrog’s playstyle in Street Fighter V puts the focus on his powerful punches, and with the use of his V-Trigger, he can chain these attacks together to deal some serious damage.

Ibuki

Also being added to the SFV roster, Ibuki is a very tricky, technical character with loads of new ninjutsu tricks up her sleeve. Ibuki is a mobile character with various target combos, but now she has even more ways to mix-up the opponent with the ability to glide through the air and toss out ninja bombs, making it very difficult to predict where she will land and where her next attack will come from.

In addition to “A Shadow Falls” and the next two characters, the update will also include:

New stages – Balrog’s Las Vegas stage and Karin’s Kanzuki Family Private Beach stage are brand new and will be available to purchase using Fight Money or real currency. Additionally, three new alternate stage options will become available.

New costume options – Premium Battle Costumes for all 20 released characters, as well as Karin’s Premium Summer Costume, will be available to purchase using real currency. Balrog and Ibuki’s Story Costumes will be purchasable using either Fighter Money or real currency.

In-game Currency Shop – The in-game store will be upgraded with the PlayStation Store and Steam real money purchase options, for their respective platform. For players who want to purchase content like new characters, stages and costumes outright without using Fight Money, the process will be familiar with purchases happening through the established first party infrastructures.

Matchmaking improvements – Faster and smarter matching, resulting in higher quality matches and a better online experience overall.

The pricing for the extra Street Fighter V content is as follows:

New Characters
(FM)100,000 | $5.99/€5.99/£4.99
New Stages
(FM)70,000 | $3.99/€3.99/£3.29
Alternate Stages
(FM)40,000 | $1.99/€1.99/£1.69
Story Costumes
(FM)40,000 | $1.99/€1.99/£1.69
Premium Costumes (No Fight Money option)
$3.99/€3.99/£ 3.29

That’s it for today! Enjoy the weekend with all the new content and be sure to tell us what you think by sounding off in the comments or sending us a message at @StreetFighter on Twitter.

Balrog to be included with Ibuki and the Cinematic Story Mode Update

Hello again, Street Fighters! We have a ton of new information to share with you today regarding the latest update to Street Fighter V! As many of you may have seen last night during CPT Premier Event CEO2016, Balrog will also be released with this update alongside Ibuki and the Cinematic Story Mode! The update will go live in all territories on July 1st at 00:00 (midnight) PST after the scheduled server maintenance is complete, which starts on June 30th at 14:00 PST.

That’s not all though! We have even more content lined up for this release including additional costumes and new stages!

Balrog is one of the most iconic characters in Street Fighter history, first appearing as one of the Four Kings of Shadaloo in Street Fighter II as a boss character. He’s always been one of the most vicious characters to ever appear in the series, using his devastating boxing style to knock out his opponents.

Before joining Shadaloo and moving his way up in the ranks to become one of M. Bison’s highest ranking officers, he was one of the greatest boxing champions of his time. His style of boxing, which uses illegal techniques such as head-butting, eventually got him banned from competing due to causing extreme harm to his opponents. In short, Balrog will do whatever it takes to win a fight and with the end goal always being to obtain more wealth.

Outside of Street Fighter II, he also appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter IV, not to mention various cross-over titles such as Capcom vs SNK and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Balrog in Street Fighter V still remains as one of Shadaloo’s top enforcers, working alongside M. Bison, F.A.N.G and Vega. Be sure to check out his Character Story and of course the Cinematic Story Mode to see what sort of trouble he gets himself into this time around.

His playstyle in Street Fighter V puts the focus on his devastating punches, and with the use of his V-Trigger, he can chain these attacks together to deal serious damage. He also has a few cheap attacks up his sleeve to keep the fight in his favor, so don’t let your guard down for a moment!

V-Skill: KKB

A unique move that twirls his body while moving forward. While activated, you can dodge projectiles as well as string together attacks. You can even activate KKB before a special hits you, allowing you to be a technical inside fighter.

V-Trigger: Crazy Rush

A chance to be the aggressor when activated! Steam rises from his body and allows you to string together specials like Charging Buffalo and Bursting Buffalo.

Critical Art: Gigaton Blow

Unleash the fury from your fist with this simple, yet destructive critical art. It can be connected with various moves. Make sure to include it in your combos.

New Stages and Costumes

To ensure this release packs an even bigger punch, Balrog’s story costume and premium battle costume will become available on 7/1, as well as a revival of the classic Las Vegas stage from Street Fighter II! The streets are lined with neon signs as you are cheered on by a fired up crowd.

That’s not all either. This summer, Street Fighter V is about to heat up! The Kanzuki Family Private Beach will now be available as an all new battle stage. This will also be released with the update on 7/1 and can be purchased for 70,000 fight money. Also, Karin’s premium summer costume will be available to purchase as part of this latest update. These can both be purchased from the PS Store and Steam for $3.99 / €3.99 / £3.29.

As a reminder, all character Battle Costumes will be available for purchase on July 1st through both the PS Store and Steam. Check out this previous post for the full rundown.

Juri and Urien

All of you probably saw the teaser we released for both Juri and Urien as part of the Balrog trailer. While they aren’t ready for official release just yet, they will be playable in the Cinematic Story Mode, and we wanted to share their official artwork showcasing their designs. As you can see, they have a brand new look with Urien in a high-end suit and Juri in a biker outfit. Updates on their playstyles will be coming soon!

As always, thanks to all our fans for the continued support. We’re committed to making Street Fighter V the best in the series and value everyone’s feedback as we continue to update the game. We’re eager to hear what you think of the Cinematic Story Mode and all the additional content included with this update coming later this week.

Until then, follow us on Twitter @StreetFighter for the latest news and updates.

Street Fighter - King of Fighting Games since 1991.

Helpful? Yes No Funny

Posted: 8 August

After a shakey release in February to get the game on to shelfs and in time for EVO, it seemed Capcom was off to a ruff start with there oldest series to date. However with the multiple fixes and addition of new characters, game modes and even a free story mode campagin, in such a short amount of time. Things are turning around for Street Fighter 5 after all. The art style and graphics run smooth and can handle just about anything your computer can throw at it. however wait times for PC players are longer than normal and can sometimes drop in preformance in online play when pinned up against someone playing on the PS4 due to cross-play. (thought coss-play is optional) As for gameplay, this maybe the smoothist Street Fighter game to date and can be enjoyed by new players and veterans alike. The game supports Keyboard, Xbox One & 360 controllers and Fight-Sticks/Pads and PS3 Fight-Stick/Pads only, but no PS4 or PS3 controllers are "YET" to be surpported.

I'm Shoryuken give it a try, with a 8/10 KO
-lolsodapop
PS: Now let's show xbox some love Capcom.

it's p good. a few things were implemented really poorly though.

ok, 1st off im new to the PC Master Race. im not use to a keybord and mouse, so i use a controller or a arcade stick. Also, I am late to playing this, and from what i hear it had a very bad release. It has alot of flaws however the combat is so good and refind, it almost makes up for it.... almost...

Also, i cant spell...... You have been warned...

I was ganna split this up in to 2 parts, The Good, and The Bad. but when i tryed to think of all the good things this game does, i relized theres only one thing it does right.

The combat is so damn resposive, and smooth. I personaly feel its the most refind fighting game to date...
unfortinatly thats it.... Thats all the good things i can say about it.

You start with 16 fighters however, all the fighters you want are paid DLC. as of righting now, there is no plan for Blanka, Akuma, Cody, Viper, E Honda. yes they can be future paid dlc, however the game feels half complete without some of these esscental people. there is no Arcade mode, its almost strickly online, each additional DLC fighter is about $10.

They recently released a story mode and spoiler!!!...... it sucks....

In conclusion, this game is not a bad fighting game, however it falls short in content and is almost exclusively online. I would say wait for the next release, unless you are a competitive fighting game freak like myself.

I liked SF4 on PS3 but Capcom dropped the ball with this one.

Pros
1. The graphics are nice
2. Matchmaking was fixed

Cons
1. Linux support was promised before release but there has been no word in months.
2. 8 Frames
3. DLC characters feel unfinished, *especially* Juri
4. 25 dollars for a couple maps and a skin? After I bought the season pass? ♥♥♥♥ outta here
5. No arcade mode? Really Capcom? I know no one played it but really?
6. Lobbies still aren't fixed.
7. It's been 6 months since release and almost none of the issues have been fixed. I guess Capcom is too worried about nickle and diming the costumer to care about the game.
8. Ken's face.
9. They still haven't fixed the character/player stats page. It has been broken since launch and there has been no word on fixing it.

I'll stick to Tekken.

Fix netcode CapCunts

SF5 is a complete train wreck of a game. It's a thrown together fighting game with no soul or heart. From character animations to mechanics, it is a poorly conceived game. Many have already posted about the games shortcomings, but I will highlight two things that stood out to me.

One is the game has zero personality. It's basically an uprezed version of SF4. From the stages, characters, music, animations, menus, it all looks lifeless rather than the next itteration of a storied franchise. Which leads me to my second point; innovation. The game offers nothing new for fighting games. Capcom went down a checklist of what to put in the game and it stopped at online play. At no point did I ever see anything that surprised me from having never seen this in a fighting game before.

People have become so fixated on what should be in a fighting game. I am more interested to see what I never knew I wanted in fighting game. I do know that it will not be found in SF5.

Posted: 6 August

I can't recommend it simply because it has an incredibly annoying but tiny glitch that pisses me off to no end. If you use Family Share, even if you're in the same friggin' house, your save data will be reset every damn time. This issue has been known for months and it's not fixed. F this game.

If you are a die hard fan of Street Fighter, you will enjoy this game. The new mechanics really diversify the characters, making even old stand by characters like Zangief feel fresh again with new tactics. Each character feels like they have the set of tools they need to achieve victory, and I find the characters are very well balanced.

That is the biggest positive this game has, however, you only can really appreciate the fighting mechanics by doing vs human multiplayer. If you just arn't that interested in playing human opponents, then you won't really notice it. Single player speaking, as of this review, you only have a few options to play: Character story mode, which gives you a little comic story around literally 2 or 3 ROUNDS of gameplay vs very simple AI. Survival Mode, which you have to face multiple AI opponents in sequence that get progressively more challenging until you complete the 'set.' The sets of opponents are always the same, and the in-between round bonus you get (Defense increases, Health restoration) are random, which only preserves the frustration of randomness, yet keeps the experience predictable. Have to beat 50 people in a row? Well, when you fail the first time on opponent 35, you have to go back and fight the SAME people in the SAME order and they'll turn the AI back down to lull you back into complacency.

The third single player option is the General Story mode, which is a series of cut scenes using the game engine with you taking control of certain characters at certain points and playing a round of combat. This is very fun the first time through because, for the first time, a Street Fighter game has an actual cannon story with it, and it is filled with things referencing games of the past and future. If you arn't a long time fan of the series, certain plot points will be lost on you, but overall it was fun. Watching the cut-scenes I played through in a couple hours, and you end up playing against some interesting unplayable characters. After you complete it, you can go through it again with advanced AI difficulty. It was fun, BUT at the end of it all it just wasn't enough gameplay. The combat is still single rounds, so even if you face an opponent that beats you, you only need to beat them that one round to progress, so while it is a great addition to the game, it doesn't really showcase the game itself.

It is missing a simple Aracade Mode. The traditional "play a series of opponents in 2 out of 3 rounds, then beat a boss, watch the credits" mode. A mode where you can adjust the difficulty of your opponent, and then face random ones. Perhaps this was intentional, because right now your only option for casual play is vs humans, which perhaps will get more people playing online.

Again, the game mechanics itself, I think are the best yet. Right now, the characters seem very balanced, and it is fun to play people online. If you want to dive in the online multiplayer, or don't mind it, you'll like the game. It's excellent, and I recommend it for fighting game fans. But it does lack many single player features, which they may add on later or may not. So this game, while fun, certainly isn't what I would call a casual experience.

They made some mistakes when this game launched but I been only 2 days playing and my personal experience is been great, and old time player from the early Street Fighter 2 it feels to me like I am back home. People will always complained not matter what but I think Capcom is doing good here, yes and arcade mode is missing but perhaps in a near future we can experience it, the story mode is decent, survival mode is good and a interesting way to earn the colors for each character, the fighting money is bit hard to get specially if you are buying one chararacter at the time which takes many many fights to collect the money or you can always purchase them if you like to. Keep in mind that Capcom has to earn a decent profit to keep the company - game - staff and servers running while keeping continues updates, bug fixes and Street Figther Worldwide events. I feel this game deserves a better chance but for me personally I have not complains, my experience both online and matchmaking is been decent and I can't wait to finally get my URIEN main...Thanks for doing a great job and keep it up Capcom.

Mortal Kombat X:
Has an awful launch, developer abandones the game instead of fixing it. Considered one of the best recent fighting games.
Street Fighter V:
Has an awful launch, developer works hard to fix issues, turning it into one of the most accessable and balanced fighting games of all time. Considered the biggest failure of the genre.

Seems legit.

Insane load times between matches. At least 25% of your time spent will be on a load screen for no reason (SSD etc). Gameplay is nice and clean. Story mode is short and way too easy even for beginners. No classic arcade style. Terrible "Survival Mode" which professional players have stated is too random or difficult (takes 20minutes to hour to do no dying or full reset.).

Loaded with DLC in the form of characters. There's in-game currency but you will not be able to buy them all (50 currency for winning match new character costs 100,000). You get currency for Story and other modes but those are all 'one-time'.

Nearly everything has a massive grind gate in currnecy form or real life money.

Check what stick you have or would like to own and see if SFV recognizes it natively as well.

Several months have gone since the game's release, many, many promises were made since that time so now that the game has more characters and the big "July update" that all the fans were saying we should wait for before judging the game is out ... Street Fighter V is still a joke of a game.

The single-player content is laughable when it's not depressing, the online is barebones, lacking any special modes besides Causal and Ranked matches, there's constant server problems, STILL no system to punish rage-quitting, the big "Story Mode" that took 5 months to make is an absolute joke and all of this is being sold as a fully-priced 60€ game. Plus the Season Pass. And the mountains of microtransactions in the game's store.

So no, it's not worth it. Not when there are plenty of cheaper, more polished games available to buy instead.

One sided roll back, matchmaking is terribly slow, pointless loading times and insane amounts of downtime after a fight due to post victory or defeat animations.

You'll be spending 80% of your time looking at menus/loading/praying you don't get into a teribly laggy game. Busted

Good gameplay and mechanics that are completely marred by the host of problems in the game which Capcom continually refuse to acknowledge (and in some cases aggravate). Inadequate rage quitter punishment, horrifically overpriced dlc (Capcom Pro Tour DLC is $25 on PS4 as a bundle meaning it's likely that it'll be even more expensive on Steam, not that it's worth the $25 anyway), awful survivial mode (which really acts as more of punishment than anything else) and STILL no Arcade Mode 6 months after release.

The way Capcom have treated SFV is abhorrent, a complete lack of content at launch which Capcom have decided will be fixed by introducing more (paid) dlc, they haven't even done the decent thing and added free dlc to make up for the lack of content (a good example of this would be Splatoon). Practically ignoring the community which call for fixes on these issues to instead focus on lining their own pockets.

I want to recommend SFV but until Capcom stops being greedy and fixes the main problems plauging it I simply cannot. I refuse to defend Capcom any longer.

I just spent damn near an hour writing a lengthy review about why I do not recommend this game, and Steam opted to not save it when I clicked "post review." So, unfortunately you will be reading an incredibly shortened version. Sorry.

Positives -
+Characters look good
+Audio is nice
+Gameplay is solid; combat system works well, no issues with controls
+Endless Battle mode is always a welcomed addition to the multiplayer
+The IDEA that Capcom wanted to emulate MK's successful story mode is great. The actual result... well, see below in the Negatives section.

Negatives -
-Clipping is prominent. Ken's hair clips through his neck/shoulder line; Birdie's necklace clips through body, etc.,.
-Limited single player options
-Story mode underwhelming and full of confusing scene cuts, limited character development and overpromotion of characters who offer little in terms of moving the story forward, or are mishandeled and end up being useless to the story (Charlie, Necalli, etc).
-Overpriced DLC - $3.99 for a single promo costume? GTFO.
-Multiplayer matchmaking is wonky (from my experience). Oftentimes get paired up with a guy 3 ranks higher than me, resulting in limbo where I can never move up because I don't play people in equal skill. Hinders multiplayer.

Overall, it's just a really rushed game by a developer who should know better. Single player was ignored prominantly in the early stages, and a lousy story mode was dumped in to placate. Multiplayer is what it is - a screwy matchmaking system and people rage quitting to avoid losing points. There's some fun to be had in it with endless battle. It's a shame, because the core gameplay is great. I love the battle system, the controls are fluid and fully functioning, but there's not enough here, and what IS here is full of half-hearted work. There's no reason the ugly clipping in the game should exist, especially with a major game developer like Capcom. Shoddy work. In a world with MANY options for fighting games, don't waste your time with this when older installments or other series altogether are better.

I cannot recommend the game in its current state, and maybe not at all in this first year. There's a lot of anti-consumer practices in the game, there's no proper punishes for online rage quitting, there's a lack of features for casual players and it's just lacking as a package. No amount of, admittredly good, DLC characters can change the overlying flaws in this game.

While the game plays relatively well when compared to other fighters on STEAM, there's many other options on other platforms that offer more for less of a cost. The game also gouges the user for so little DLC at such a high price, that the people who were against the old update system from Street Fighter 4 are getting what they wanted, but by cutting their nose to spite their face.

Here's a list of the cons I have with the base product:

-The biggest con; NO RAGE QUIT PUNISHMENT
-8 frames of input delay
-Training mode doesn't save settings or have frame data
-Survival mode is a blatant attempt at hair-ripping difficulty just to get people to spend money on colors
-No way to check stats, win percentage
-No messaging between PS4 and PC users even though we have to make proprietary Capcom Fighting Network (CFN) Accounts
-No support for DInput controllers/fight sticks
-PC players can gain an advantage over PS4 players just by alt-tabbing

Now, here's a list of the pros of the game:

+The gameplay promotes commitment and strong decision making

That's it.

Now, we also have a pricing issue with the DLC. You can buy individual costumes for $3.99. In USF4, we were able to get costumers for 5 characters for the same price. You can either play through an intentionally hellish Survival Mode for alternate colors, or buy them with real money. And don't worry, you have to buy or play for the colors multiple times because you don't get them for all costumes the first time through. THEN there's a new CPT DLC that has exclusive content on the PS4, screwing out the PC user base.

If you're looking into a fighting game, I recommend Killer Instinct or Guilty Gear: Xrd. On Playstation consoles, there's Guilty Gear: Revelator.
