IGN - 8/10

When I'm playing Street Fighter V with friends, I'm completely lost in the heat of the moment. Win or lose, I'm attracted to the thrill of its action-oriented combat system, which discourages overcautious behavior and keeps fights moving along. There's an excellent foundation here, and for now, I am going to keep playing until I can put the servers to the test on launch day.

Destructiod - 8/10

It’s hard to criticize something that seems like it was tailor-made for a wannabe competitive player like me, but I just can’t ignore how little Street Fighter 5 does for the average fighting game player. It sports a wonderful, diverse cast of characters, places a clear emphasis on strong fundamental play, it gives competitive players a great online experience, and it does it all while looking gorgeous. Strictly in terms of mechanics and competitive features, Street Fighter 5 is just about peerless, but it has quite a ways to go before it stacks up against other fighting games - including its own predecessor - in terms of overall content.

EGM - 8/10

In many ways Street Fighter V is unfinished, but as a platform, it has strong legs. If Capcom sticks to its word, this could have just as long of a lifespan as IV, if not more.

Shacknews - 7/10

Street Fighter V paves the way for the future of Capcom’s legendary fighting game series—but it’s also a release that’s relying on near-future updates in order to feel like a finished product. Once they come, however, this should really be something special.

Hey guys,

I asked a couple of times about us having a PS4 community specifically for this game, no one answered and there is no news of it in the OT, so I spoke to a couple of guys here and we thought it'd be a good idea to make one.

I know there is one for the neogaf FGC already, but I thought it might be nice to have communities and channels of communication, for this game specifically.

I've also made a SFV group chat for Neogaf members, if you join this and favourite it, you can very quickly see everyone online, who you have in friends and who you don't, and message quickly everyone asking if they'd like to fight etc.. We use these group chats very successfully on other OTs like the Rainbow Six Siege OT. It can be handier when grouping people together.

If you'd like to join either group, just send me a message on PSN and I'll add you to both. If you only want to join one, then just leave the one you don't want to be in. My PSN is Chronospherics.

Aside this, would it be helpful if we had a spreadsheet with everyones Capcom Fighter ID also? That might make PC/PS4 crossplay sessions more viable as everyone can have everyone added in advance, if they so wish to.
