Since its launch,Street Fighter Vhas drawn praise for its excellent gameplay. However, its questionable monetization and early lack of content have brought a fair helping of criticism. However, the 2018 release ofStreet Fighter V: Arcade Editionis generally seen as a solid step forward, with 2020’sChampion Editionfollowing in that path. Though,many would arguethat thenetcodestill needs work.
The season five update adds five new fighters, three new stages, and, presumably, several new costumes. While no fighter has been confirmed, there have been rumors about Rose, Makoto, Fei Long, Oro, and Maki joining the roster. Of course, take all of that with a grain of salt.
