This game started off as a husk of Street Fighter IV. It looked worse, played worse, had a worse roster, but over time Street Fighter V has gotten updates with better characters, more interesting playstyles, more content, crazy costumes, and consistent improvements. By the end, Street Fighter V is a pretty damn good Street FIghter installment - but it is ultimately held back by certain factors that updates could not fix, like an ugly visual style, an embarrassing story mode, and disappointing netcode.
