The Fighting is still the Star of the Show If your question isn't answered here, defer to our original Street Fighter 5 review. Given this is a review of an updated version of an existing product, I'm going to break it into sections based on complaints around the original release. That package includes the up-to-date version of the game plus the first two years of character DLC - 12 additional characters for a total of 28. If you skipped SF5 the first time around there's a new Arcade Edition release meant just for you. All of the new modes and the balance changes are included as part of your original purchase, so if you reinstall SF5 you're ready to go. The most important piece of information before we even get started is that if you already paid for Street Fighter 5, Arcade Edition is free. Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition isn't without fault, but it now feels like a complete and compelling package that stands as a testament to why even 26 years after its groundbreaking second entry Street Fighter is still the best the 2D fighter genre has to offer.

Two years later and Capcom is back with a new and more complete version of the game, allowing SF5 to finally push past being a product full of frustratingly squandered potential to arrive at something truly special. Updated and expanded, Street Fighter is fully fighting fit again - and the result is a must-play title.īack in 2016 I wrote that Street Fighter 5 could've been perfect if it didn't lack single-player content.
