However, fighting game fans who aren't big into Street Fighter may find some of the game's shortcomings less tolerable.

There is a ton to do in this game, and the core gameplay is just as satisfying as ever, so for fans of the franchise, Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition is really a no-brainer. Players now have over 30 characters to master on the Street Fighter 5 roster, multiple story modes, traditional Arcade modes, trials, and more. With all of this content, Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition actually feels like a complete experience, which is in stark contrast to the original release. Each character has also been given an additional V-Skill, but otherwise Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition is just Street Fighter 5 with almost all of the original release's post-launch content. The main draw isn't really new content, but the fact that it includes almost all of the content that's been released for the game over the course of its limited-time seasons. Seth is one of the few new additions to Street Fighter 5 that fans will get in the Champion Edition. The Seth character story in Street Fighter 5 will be the most interesting for fans, as it provides some much-needed explanation as to why the character has been gender-swapped since their Street Fighter 4 appearance and provides an entertaining origin story in the process. Most of the stories are generic fighting game fare, with some notable exceptions. The character stories in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition are worth doing for how quick they level up the characters, but from a storytelling perspective, they don't have much to offer. Long load times are also a factor when playing the character stories, as players have to sit through a decent chunk of the cut-scenes while the game loads before they're allowed to skip to the actual fights.

And once in the game, players will have to contend with long load times while waiting for matches to start. Some may even think that their game is frozen on the title screen because of how long it takes for players to be able to get into the actual game itself. The first thing players will notice when they boot up Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition is the long load times. But even though Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition is the definitive version of the game, it still has some issues that keep it from reaching the heights of its critically-acclaimed predecessors. Fast forward to Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition, and the game is in a much better state than it was years ago, with an expanded roster and a variety of game modes for players to sink their teeth into. While the core fighting game foundation in Street Fighter 5 was quite good, there just wasn't much for players to do. When Street Fighter 5 originally launched, the game earned some of the lowest scores in franchise history, largely thanks to a general lack of content.
