1) Righteous and deserving heir to SFIV, my favourite fighting game of all time. Points!

2) Characters are evenly balanced for the most part, gameplay is fun, flashy stuff! Points!

3) Gameplay slightly simplified. That's kind of a shame, I loved grinding combos in Training. No points.

4) Too expensive! Come on, with or without the DLC it costs way too much. No points.

5) Game is still developing at a nice steady pace. Metagame is advancing, a year later. New characters being introduced excites me! Urien looks fun to fight. Points!

6) Netcode is alriiiiightish. I have a good connection, so I don't get issues on that front! However, a lot of people do. No points.

7) Character design and visual design is outstanding! I love the costumes. Points!

8) Much more demanding towards one's computer than its predecessor. MUCH more. No points.

9) Great ranking system design! People with dedication end up right where they belong. A step up from SFIV's stressful PP system. Points!

10) Great community, as always in the FGC. Points!

11) Tournaments are hype! Capcom is doing well in supporting the competitive events. Excited for CPT! Points!

Overall, I'm ready to stuff at least another thousand hours into the Street Fighter franchise, all thanks to this game! I'm really pleased with it. However, the cost and some of other people's complaints cause me to lower my rating a little bit.

MY MORE OBJECTIVE RATING: 7.5/10

MY PERSONAL ENJOYMENT: 9.5/10

OVERALL: BUY THIS GAME IF YOU LOVE STREET FIGHTER, FIGHTING GAMES, THE FGC AND SUCH! And... if you have the funds, of course. It's well worth if you're willing to put time in!
