That would&#8217;ve led to better sales&#8230;but the game&#8217;s rush for CPT has been well-documented. It&#8217;s also known that Capcom underestimated the percentage of people who actually want an arcade mode\/any single-player content. A majority of folks who own <b>SFV<\/b> would say that any developer time dedicated to single-player content is an utter waste.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are with a few basic facts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Capcom said they won&#8217;t repackage a Super SFV or anything. (I think it would be a good idea to refresh reviews and let people feel it&#8217;s a new start, but that&#8217;s a different discussion.)\n<li>Developer time is going to CFN, S2 re-balancing and four more S2 characters as well as another twelve Chun-Li costumes. Note that characters &#038; costumes make Capcom money.\n<li>After that will hopefully come season 3 characters. And another dozen Cammy costumes.<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, I don&#8217;t see why Capcom would waste any more dev time on the small percentage of current owners who want single-player content. Without a repackaged <b>SFV<\/b> to draw in new buyers, I think it&#8217;s time to give up.<\/p>\n<p>Time to give up on a basic arcade mode. Time to stop wishing they&#8217;d do anything with the dolls they already have mostly developed. Time to give up on anything but the Vs. CPU &#8220;feature&#8221; they gave us. There will be no Extra Battle. No Dramatic Battle. Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>I get that I&#8217;m in the minority and I guess that&#8217;s what&#8217;s frustrating. I spent the same $120 as many of other gamers. But my import of Street Fighter Zero 3 for half the price almost 20 yrs ago gave me more replay value. (That&#8217;s unfair, I realize. The online component and continual development cannot be compared). But this is just the final acceptance that we won&#8217;t likely get any single-player content because it doesn&#8217;t make much sense financially for Capcom to work on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had SFV launched with the full Story Mode, it likely would&#8217;ve gotten slightly better review scores.
