According to Capcom they will sell 6 new characters a year, everything else is free with price of admission. No more Super/Ultra/Hyper/Alpha/Turbo/Arcade/Tournament etc... This is what they say.

Or just delayed the stupid tournament? I wonder if the PR debacle was worth it just to please a bunch of hardcore fans.

Who says anything about a cabinet. A PS4 + a half finished game will do just fine. Most tourneys have been held on console hardware for years now anyway. There are no Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Smash Brothers or Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 cabinets either.

No arcade mode, no proper tutorial when they said it would be newbie friendly... no buy for me.
Well it's about one event a week for an entire nine months--it's more like a season of a sport. Not trying to justify the decision or anything, it's bananas, I'm just trying to explain the context.

I think it is okay to release it in this state if they already planned a tournament around it, but they should say upfront about the missing feature. I've seen the description on Steam and they haven't mentioned about it. If they don't mention it, people will assume that the standard stuff that you expect from a fighting game is there in the game (arcade mode, story, etc), and since it isn't there they basically deceiving their customer. It is like buying a car, but it doesn't come with radio, AC, and other basic stuff that you expect from buying a new car. Better yet, they should just release this as a versus only game (SFV versus only) and price it cheaper or ask a full price, but make the full game a separate game which those that buy the versus only version can get free upgrade to the full version.

To be fair: they did release a trailer which detailed all the day1 features. I think the problem is simply how undercooked some of those features turned out to be. For example, I expected the story modes to be somewhat comparable to the arcade modes in the older games; ten consecutive fights with some short in-engine cutscenes towards the end and a ridiculously cheap final boss. Instead we got two to three single round bouts against a brain dead A.I. per character, and a bunch of artworks looking like they've been thrown together in a day or two. Even the survival mode stinks: once again the A.I. is a total pushover. Well, that is until you reach your 29th fight and it suddenly becomes the input reading bastard we all know from the past. It's no fun to sleep walk all the way to the second to last battle, only to get wasted by Necalli or Bison.
I expected a quick rematch button, or at least a proper post versus menu to either rematch or character select. I don't think it was much to ask lol

Got myself a Hori RAP4 Kai, by the way. Lovely piece of kit. Also decidedly less overpriced and much easier to obtain than the Mad Catz sticks. The Hayabusa joystick is every bit as good (if not better) as the classic Sanwa JLS built into the Mad Catz TE sticks, and the Kuro buttons are wonderful as well. Some people complain about squeaking noises coming from the buttons, but everything's perfect on mine. It's super easy to mod as well (plug-and-play away to your heart's content), and the price differential between the Hori and a new TE stick (if you manage to find one at all) is at least big enough to buy you a spare stick plus a complete set of extra buttons of your choosing. Works flawlessly with PS4, PS3 and PC. Unlike the TE sticks it even has a touchpad - very handy for accessing shortcuts in SFV's training mode. The share button is safely tucked away to the side of the housing, so you won't accidentally hit the wrong buttons during heated throwdowns.
Overall a great product for a sightly less outrageous price tag. Seriously, 230€ for a SV5 Chun Li stick? - The stick is 20€ and the buttons are between €2,50 and €3 a pop. That's less than €50 in total, meaning €150+ plus for a plastic case with a PCB and a USB chord - absurd.
And lest I forget: I payed €130 for a slightly used one, but at €150 it's not an awful lot more expensive if you buy it new.
