News Capcom: Street Fighter V Taught Us We Need to Launch a Fully Featured Game
Publisher won't repeat same mistake
Street Fighter V is a great game, there's just nowhere near enough of it.

News Street Fighter V Scores Capcom Cup 2017 Content As Single Player Wilts
Revenue to go towards tournament prize fund
Can we safely say that Capcom is all in on e-sports at this point, and won't be responding to the complaints that single player fans had with Street Fighter V? Probably, because the game continues to bloat in content, but virtually all of it seems aimed at the more competitive players enjoying it online...
News Street Fighter V Still Kinda Sucks, But Capcom Pro Tour's Back
Yay?
A year later, Street Fighter V is still very much a shadow of the game that it should be. That's not stopping its maker from forging ahead with Capcom Pro Tour 2017, though – the Champions League of fighting game competitions. Or something. We were going to explain the qualification process here, but it's so complicated that we're just going...
News Kolin Plays it Cool in Street Fighter V Later This Month
Chill
Street Fighter V's next additional character has been revealed, proving that the recent leaks - and copious amounts of speculation - were right.

Soapbox Street Fighter V Is the Best Worst PS4 Game of 2016
Sammy's losing faith in Capcom's fighter
I love Street Fighter V, but it doesn't love me. That's a bit of a cliché, I suppose – but I'm struggling to dream up a better sentence that best describes my relationship with Capcom's brawler. Here is a game that's both breathtakingly brilliant and mindbogglingly awful all at the same time; the Japanese...

News Street Fighter V's Festive Holiday Costumes Are Not Made for Cold Weather
Brrr
Capcom's released the above trailer for Street Fighter V's upcoming downloadable content pack, and, well, the only thing that we've really taken away from it is that it includes a lot of skimpy Christmas costumes. Oh, and it's got an amazingly cheesy rendition of Jingle Bells playing over it. Apparently, we're getting a release date for all of...
News Capcom to Remain Committed to PS4 Exclusive Street Fighter V Until 2020
Shoryuken handle it?
By all accounts it's sold disastrously, but Capcom isn't giving up on Street Fighter V anytime soon. It makes sense, of course – while the PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive may have struggled to appeal to the mainstream market, it still has a very committed and dedicated core fanbase. And speaking with Famitsu magazine, producer...
News Street Fighter V's New Stage Takes Off Today
Plane and simple
Capcom's continuing to plug away at Street Fighter V, despite the fighter failing to significantly grow its player base since launch. Today a new stage will be released, which takes place on the wings of a plane. The level – named Skies of Honor – can be seen demonstrated in the video embedded above. We're not convinced that...
News Akuma Is Street Fighter V's Next DLC Character
Playable at the PlayStation Experience
Recent sales data would suggest that Street Fighter V hasn't been performing well at all over the last few months, but Capcom's still marching on with its downloadable content plans.

News Street Fighter V PS4 Finally Gets Features That Should Have Been There at Launch
Play against the computer at last
Street Fighter V: the best game ever made that doesn't want you to play it.

Finally, though, things will improve in September with the addition of a VS CPU mode. Well, it's a start,...

You had me at Hadoken
Bearded Ryu, previously known as Battle Costume Ryu, apparently, is now officially called Hot Ryu, according to Capcom.

News Capcom Is Trying to Make Street Fighter V Less Mind-Numbingly Tedious
A different kind of grind
Let's not dance around the issue here: Street Fighter V's survival mode is crap. Single round matches against up to 50 opponents in a row, always in the same order. And if you lose, you have to start over from scratch. If you win, however, you get a lovely new colour for your chosen character. No pain no gain, etc. Players...

News Street Fighter V Wants Your Cash for Capcom Pro Tour 2016
Help fund a tournament you'll never enter
Capcom's not the first publisher to sell content to help fund its game's eSports league, and it won't be the last – but given the current state of Street Fighter V, it's got some "brass neck" as they say in Ramsey's part of the world. Available right now from the North American PlayStation Store for a...
News We Hope Street Fighter V's Story Mode Is as Good as Its Trailer
Rise up
Street Fighter V's finally getting some dedicated single player content tomorrow in the form of a free downloadable story mode, and judging from its official trailer, it actually looks pretty good. Sure, the writing's as cheesy as you'd expect and it seems suitably mental, but it's a well worked video all the same. Having said that, we've...
You gotta watch this one
Fighting game tournament CEO 2016 ended with a bang last night as arguably the two best Street Fighter V players in the world went head to head in the grand final.

The good news: Balrog is now busting onto the Street Fighter V scene alongside previously revealed kunoichi Ibuki as part of the game's free story mode update.

News Capcom's Missed Its Target of Releasing One Street Fighter V Character Per Month
Poor Ibuki
Ever since Street Fighter V launched in February, Capcom's had a tough time trying to communicate with fans. The brawler is meant to be a platform that's constantly growing and evolving, but between content delays, communication cock-ups, and a supposedly stretched post-release development cycle, the Japanese company just can't seem to...
News Here Comes a New Challenger! Ibuki Blows Up Street Fighter V

The trailer above demonstrates just how fun this new challenger can be – we...
News Capcom: Street Fighter V Needed More Polish and More Content
CEO admits the brawler deserved better
We've said it a million times before, and we'll say it again: Street Fighter V is a bloody good fighting game - but its prowess as a brawler hasn't been enough to disperse the air of negativity that's surrounded the title since it launched earlier this year. Recently, Capcom revealed that the game has actually...
News Street Fighter V Has Not Flopped As Hard As You Think
Brawler's doing okay
And breathe. Street Fighter V is not the commercial catastrophe that many predicted – in fact, it's doing pretty damn well all things considered.

News More Single Player Content Is Coming to Street Fighter V, Says Capcom
The basics
Much to the disappointment of many a potential buyer, Street Fighter V launched in February with minimal single player content. Aside from the insultingly short character stories, survival and training were, and still are, the only options when it comes to facing off against the artificial intelligence. That's going to change soon,...
News Tekken x Street Fighter Has Been KO'd for the Time Being
Makes sense, we suppose
When Street Fighter x Tekken turned out to be a bit of a disappointment, the hype for its sibling, Tekken x Street Fighter - which was originally announced all the way back in 2010 - died down a little. The two titles were supposedly going to sit side by side, but news of the latter slowly started to fade away over time. And...

Ramsey reckons Capcom's latest is a joy to watch
I stayed up until 07:00AM this morning watching the last eight of a Street Fighter V tournament. When I told editor Sammy Barker about my shenanigans, he looked at me like I was a complete lunatic [I believe I said I'd rather eat my own fecal matter than engage in such an activity - Ed] – but I...

It probably should have had some kind of...
News Capcom: We Underestimated Street Fighter V's Single Player Popularity
You don't say
Street Fighter V, when you're in the midst of a bout, is an unbeatable experience.

Now, producer Yoshinori Ono has admitted that the publisher missed the mark with regards to...

News Street Fighter V's Mega March Update Is Finally Happening
About time
When Capcom announced that Street Fighter V's first big update would arrive in March - adding some much needed content to the game - we probably would have put money on it being out by now, but what the publisher really meant was that it'd be out right at the end of month, and that it'd be split into two parts. We're glad that's all...
News Former Street Fighter V Rage Quitter Is Now Ranked 29th in the World
F.A.N.Gtastic
Last week, we reported on a Japanese Street Fighter V player known as World_Combo, who was one of the first two players to reach the Super Platinum rank online.

News Capcom Knocks a Super Platinum Rank Street Fighter V Player Down to Bronze
Ouch
Capcom wasn't lying when it said that there were going to be some harsh penalties for quitting out of unfinished matches in Street Fighter V, and a fine example of the developer's effort to rid the game of quitters comes thanks to the case of Japanese player World_Combo. World_Combo was one of two combatants to first reach the Super Platinum...
