and like you said, that training mode is amazing. it's hella easy to work on shit like hit confirms and reversal punishes now.

mechanically, it's probably the best Vanilla version of a Street Fighter ever, with all respect due to SFII.

Vanilla SF4 was cool, but kinda flat and imbalanced.

SFIII: New Generation and SF Alpha 1 felt unfinished.

but SFV gameplay is crack out the gate.

it just really sucks they pissed off all the casuals at launch.
