News Hmmm, Street Fighter V Came Close to Having Super Realistic Graphics
Ryu serious?
We don't know about you, but when we picture Street Fighter these days, we don't just think about that time we got beaten up in our very first ranked match - we see vibrant colours and a lot of style. Street Fighter V is perhaps the most stylish entry in the series, but according to Japanese publication Game Spark, it didn't always look...
News Street Fighter V Rage Quitters Are in for a World of Hurt, Says Capcom
Can't run from this fight
Rage quitting has been an issue in Street Fighter V ever since players realised that they could drop out of matches without being penalised. While it's pretty crazy that the game launched with no punishments for such conduct in place, it looks like Capcom's preparing to tackle the problem head on. "Yes, we are well aware...
News It Sounds Like Street Fighter V Is Grabbing an Arcade Mode
Ready for another round?
We've seen a lot of complaints about Street Fighter V - heck, we've done plenty of moaning ourselves when we couldn't connect to our friends for a quick duel or two - but easily the most popular complaint that we've heard stems from the fact that the beat-'em-up doesn't have an arcade mode of any kind. Fortunately, Capcom...

Soapbox Street Fighter V's PS4 Launch Has Been a Bummer
And it could have been so easily avoided
God, I love Street Fighter V. I'm about as good at it as I am guitar – which is to say that I know the major chords, but you can stick your pentatonic scales up your arse – but, like performing a very average rendition of Wonderwall, I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring the basics of Capcom's latest. Cammy's...
News Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4
Ken you believe it
There's a weird bug going on in Street Fighter V right now, only adding to the brawler's somewhat controversial launch. As you may already know, Capcom's latest sports 16 playable characters from Ken and his banana hair to the snot flicking Birdie, but this particular issue actually sees fighters disappear from your available...
News Street Fighter V's Online Matchmaking Now Works on PS4
Flawless at the moment
Many of you may have found that examining your fist online in Street Fighter V was virtually impossible last night. The game's servers could be described as flaky at best, but the biggest problem was matchmaking with other players. We tried for about three hours, but couldn't get into a single game. Fortunately, at the time of...
News Street Fighter V's PS4 Servers Are Proving Flimsier Than Dhalsim's Limbs
Knocked out
A major release with a heavy emphasis on online play: what could possibly go wrong? Oh right, the servers could falter – and Street Fighter V's have been blowing hot and cold all day. The title completely collapsed overnight, prompting Capcom to bring the game offline for an hour while it fixed the issues. Since then, things have been...
News Street Fighter V's Free Cinematic Story Mode Will Take a Couple of Hours to Complete
Gulp
We're going to assume that this isn't going to go down well with the majority of readers, but excitable Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono has hinted that the game's upcoming cinematic story expansion will take between "one or two hours to complete". This is the mode that's coming in June which will presumably mirror Mortal Kombat X's own...
News Dress to Impress with Licensed Street Fighter V Clobber
Geek chic Masters
Street Fighter is one of the few franchises that's more than a game – it's a cultural touchstone. It's no surprise, then, to see merchandise manufacturers go crazy with licensed goods for the latest entry in the fighting franchise. Numskull, known for its seasonal Street Fighter knitwear, has gone particularly nuts ahead of the...
Guide Mastering the Basics in Street Fighter V on PS4
Follow your fist
Street Fighter V is finally here, and we think that the game's easier to learn than ever. This is great news for those who've always wanted to leap into the genre, but it can still be daunting, and sometimes, asking for advice – even with the best will in the world – can simply make things more confusing. The best fighting...
Feature What Modes Do You Actually Get in Street Fighter V on PS4?
Also, a quick content roadmap
For our money, Street Fighter V is easily the best brawler on the PlayStation 4 – and it may just be one of the greatest fighting games ever made. The sequel's peerless ability to fuse accessibility with tournament tier depth is its true strength, but it does come with a caveat: the single player experience, in its...
Round Up Street Fighter V PS4 Reviews Rise Up
Round one
It's time to rise up and be counted, as Street Fighter V is almost here. The latest entry in Capcom's uber-popular punch-up property is being pitched as a sort of pseudo-service, and phase one rolls out this week, exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC. But with a lack of single player content threatening to steal the series' championship...
Feature An Introduction to Street Fighter V's F.A.N.G.
Fangs very much
F.A.N.G. – now forever referred to as Fang, thanks – was the final character revealed for Street Fighter V's release. Not many people know a great deal about the lanky weirdo, as he hasn't been available during any beta tests, so allow us to shine a light on Bison's newest sycophant. First thing's first: Fang's really going to...

News Street Fighter V Scores Console Exclusive Box Branding
It is known
Console makers love to make it known when a game is exclusive to their system, but the 'Only on PlayStation' branding that Sony usually employs doesn't suit every single piece of software. Street Fighter V is an example of a release that will never deploy on the Xbox One, but it is coming to the PC, so it's technically available...
PSX 2015 Street Fighter V Poisons PS4 with F.A.N.G.
F.A.N.G. you very much

And in an interview with GameSpot, producer Yoshinori Ono sent the following message to fans of other formats: "There's plenty...
News Capcom Hopes Street Fighter V Will Attract a New Audience
Company is looking at esports and younger players
We wouldn't say that the Street Fighter series is impenetrable. Just about anyone can pick one of the games up and bash out a few basic attacks - but it's often the massive amount of depth that's to be found in competitive play which is too much for many players to wrap their head around. It's always...

In it, we see the beastly brawler under the tutelage of master Gouken, unable...

More treat than trick
The incoming arrival of Hallowe'en can only mean one thing: an abundance of daft costumes for all of your favourite fighting games.

News S'Not Fair! Street Fighter V Battle Concluded with Booger
Oh nose you didn't
If this doesn't sell you on the upcoming Street Fighter V, then nothing will.

And in the video embedded below, the...
