i get being disappointed by it.

but arcade mode being a MAKE OR BREAK feature all of a sudden is hilarious, because it's not like SFV is lacking challenging single player content. in fact, my biggest problem with SFV is that costume colors are locked behind single player content that's way more challenging than it has any right to be. if you can beat survival on extreme you're ready to get platinum in ranked, easy.

and it's not lacking story content either. there's more story content in SFV than any other Street Fighter title.

so if it's not lacking story, and it's not lacking single player challenge, what's the big deal?

to each their own, though.
