I doubt arcade mode is the sole reason. That being said trying to replace a traditional fighting game mode for no reason other than "oh we've got a story mode coming" is loving stupid. No one has ever complained about having an arcade mode ever and it offers simple single player content with little work other than having to make a boss fight and tack on a character specific ending.

Like it shouldn't be hard to make a single player mode that lets you run through a sizeable amount of the cast with some sort of reward that isn't painfully boring to play through like Survival or Character stories.

I haven't put too much work into the game, but I'm stuck around the entry point of Silver rank right now.

When I'm under Silver - keep fighting Bronze and below players, the ones that haven't quite picked up the game.
When I'm at Silver - Keep fighting Gold players, the ones that have studied the game quite a bit more than me, which shows in their combo choice and tech.
Fight no Silvers.

I feel so alone.

Those are non-endings, they don't do anything for any character with the exception of like Karin's and are just meant to hype up the story mode.

Like the fact that you can't change difficulty and that amount of fights change depending on character make it really separated from an actual arcade mode.

Capcom should make a special Karin costume, I don't care what it looks like, print a hundred codes for it and put them in random SFV boxes. Then they'll move copies.

Strekken had a good arcade mode.

I guess they thought since Strekken was so badly received that no one liked opening and ending cutscenes with in between character banter and rival scenes.

same here but sadly, training mode and competitive play does not sell a lot of copies, story mode and crazy looking fatalities do

In the western FGC, Street Fighter is utterly dominant, but serious players make up a small minority and most gamers never even go online or go tournaments and just want to randomly mash buttons and watch cutscenes. It really loving sucks, but the most successful games typically cater to the lowest common denominator

I don't think this game really has a 'fun' training mode. I'd say that UMvC3 and KoF13 have fun training modes. I just look at what's punishable, what can be used to punish jab mashers and that sort of thing.

I can't remember where the figures are now, but Blizzard spoke on starcraft 2 a while ago and they explained that a tiny percentage of people even touched the online versus modes. The vast majority just played campaign alone or beat th AI with other people.


I never have a name or flag, I can't make lobbies, I have no idea where people are in searches because no bars or flags. I doubt many people like me are willing to keep searching and joining random lobbies until they eventually find someone on the same continent. Hope they work fine by patch day.

Which is why capcoms decision was very stupid

So I guess this actually removes the throw OS? Having 2 frames to work with before you're locked out of teching means that should you fat-finger a throw attempt and end up doing a kara-throw of sorts (like LP~LP+LK or MP~LP+LK), the game will accept it because kara throws are still just throws. If you take longer though it'll go into dreaded "OS TERRITORY" and you won't be able to tech anymore.

What would a fighting game's version of BGH look like? Also, they should take a page from Nintendo and just include all their marquis characters in every flagship game now. Finally, they should have crates with hats in them for playing multiplayer and monetize it. This would be especially effective in SFV because you could un blonde the banana stricken characters

There, I just saved fighting games :smug:

There, I just saved fighting games :smug:

the equivalent of the huge armies slamming into eachother with no thought that bgh maps let people make is messing around with easy to use and/or flashy looking moves and playing in a bonus mode where the rules are relaxed/changed

games like mortal kombat, guilty gear and marvel 3 all have flashy as heck moves and a (at least initially) low input barrier to throw out effective moves. SF5 gief's super looks like a goddamn normal throw with some camera angles

these games also have modes like test your luck, M.O.M and heroes and heralds which add all sorts of wacky modifiers to matches that make them less about technical skill and more about Strategy, in the sense that johnny Q casual feels really smart & accomplished for picking the right loadout or literally winning with his characters arms tied behind their back by doing jump kicks the entire game

meanwhile SF5 has nothing, and it's only planned big mode is story mode which is unconfirmed if it even has gameplay or if it's just a movie
