I think it's pretty hard to complain now, the game is polished, and this version comes with most of the dlc. The story mode is a bit boring but the combos and controls are great

When Street Fighter V first launched in 2016, it was undeniably rough around the edges—barebones content, server issues, and a lack of single-player depth left fans disappointed. But to judge Champion Edition by its launch state is not only unfair, it’s flat-out misleading. This version is the culmination of years of refinement, content expansion, and community-driven evolution. Capcom didn’t just patch the holes—they rebuilt the ship.Champion Edition delivers a massive roster of 40 characters, each with unique mechanics and playstyles that cater to both newcomers and veterans. From classics like Ryu and Chun-Li to newcomers like Lucia and G, the variety is staggering. The game also includes over 200 costumes and 34 stages, making it the most content-rich version of SFV to date.Mechanically, the game shines. The V-System adds layers of strategy, allowing players to customize their approach mid-match. The balance updates over the years have created a competitive environment that’s both dynamic and fair. Online play is smoother, and the inclusion of rollback netcode has made matches more reliable than ****, let’s address the elephant in the room: the claim that Street Fighter V is “stuck in 2016.” That’s simply false. This narrative usually comes from people who either haven’t played the game since launch or are clinging to outdated criticisms and make ignorant masses. Champion Edition is a different beast—polished, expansive, and deeply engaging. It’s like judging a movie by its trailer and ignoring the final cut.Capcom’s commitment to the community is evident. Regular updates, character reworks, and seasonal content have kept the game fresh. The inclusion of a robust training mode, story content, and arcade ladders shows that they listened to feedback and acted on **** short, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is not just a redemption—it’s a celebration of what makes fighting games great. It’s proof that developers can learn, adapt, and deliver a product that honors its legacy while embracing modern sensibilities.

As a big fan of Street Fighter Alpha, this game was pretty alright. Sure the game's had its fair share of bad reviews, but I liked it. The character variety was perfect, and each one made me want to use them again at some point (apart from Abigail). The story however, was pitiful. For them hyping Necalli up so much to be a major threat, he appears for like 1 chapter and gets slammed by ryu. None of the rest was interesting at all. Bad story, fun fighting game.
