Story Mode was campy fun as others have said; kinda wish some characters had more play like Necalli being a metaphor for Ryu's struggle and being solved together rather than, say, being the one to kill Bison forever. Also, every time Juri showed it it was one spectacular entrance after another. :allears: Can't wait for her to come out.

My personal pet peeve with the sf5 client is how the game won't read your inputs if the window isn't focused which defeats the purpose of windowed mode. It's always been like that since the beta :|

The best part of story mode was when Juri, Cammy and Decapre escape from Brazil on a motortricycle, only to reappear in England and Juri proclaimed "I think we lost them."

Yeah Juri, I should hope so...

The extra wheel makes it go really fast, okay?

No way Akuma is going to be out of this game forever, I imagine the only reason he's not in now is because they cant figure out how to nerf his air fireball.

Well, I enjoyed the story mode. Looked and ran great on PC. Much more effort than I had expected; new stages, new characters, new music, etc.

Juri felt awesome to play, can't wait for her to release.

2 1/2 to 3 hours, if you do all the fights. Longer if you have trouble with some of the later fights or want to experiment with Juri and Urien.

It's extremely epic that colors 3-10 are only obtained through probably the shittiest game mode I've ever seen, even for costumes you spend real money on.

I'm sorry, but Dhalism casually throwing people out of helicopters is the best thing SFV has brought us. That, and every scene involving Zangief made the story mode bearable for me.

Alright I done figured out the Balrog BnB's so you didn't have to:

Now with that said, I think rog is gonna wind up being fairly heavy on the setups. I already got a couple that give you super meaty moves if you tech and the like, so who knows what the future will hold.

I wish you had separate ranks for each character. Because it is really hard to learn how to play Ibuki, a character I have literally no real experience with yet, when the server is matching me up with the same people I fight with my Vega I've put 100+ hours into.

Story done. It really was about what I expected. Not a lot going on, and the pacing is extremely abrupt all along the way. You're just sorta dumped into scenarios all day. MK9/10 definitely had a better flow about it, and the kung fu scenes in those games were really nice to watch. Wasn't much of that going on here. There was some impressive looking parts visually, especially with all the particle effects during the more flashy scenes. [Ending spoilers] With Gill showing up at the end, I got pretty excited. They've just about stepped up to the door of SF3 in terms of the story, and I'd be down for more Story DLC that either re-tells what happens or even a re-imagining. It could also cover what's up with Necalli more completely, Ryu's fun times with Oro and so forth. A neat thing I suppose, if it comes about.

I guess people that really wanted offline content finally have something, and at 40 bucks the game does seem kinda reasonable if that's really all someone wants to get out of it. Really bummed about not having Survival colors purchasable. The new stages look nice, but I haven't given the newly tweaked online a try (servers died like a minute after I finished). Curious what the next project is gonna be besides getting Juri/Urien out proper.
