and i don't believe anybody else REALLY finds arcade modes entertaining.

let's be honest about this. we all know how quick casual players stop playing fighting games. they usually run through all there is to see once and put it down until they have friends over to play with.

nobody plays arcade mode as a primer to playing competitive. arcade mode has never been good for that, which is why games with high casual appeal don't necessarily have high competitive engagement (I'm looking at you Mortal Kombat X).

the lack of great single player content is definitely an issue in SFV (and the genre as a whole).

i don't think arcade mode changes that at all, though. it didn't for SFIV.

i'd throw money at another World Tour mode thooooo
