| 4 | ''Street Fighter V'' is a TwoAndAHalfD FightingGame developed and published by Creator/{{Capcom}} as the fourth NumberedSequel and sixth main entry in the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise. It was announced on December 5, 2014 and was released on February 16, 2016 for the Platform/PlayStation4 as a console exclusive as well as Windows PC, with crossplaying avaliable for both platforms. Capcom further clarified that the game would not be released on Platform/XboxOne due to a development partnership with Creator/SonyComputerEntertainment. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The game takes away the Focus and Revenge mechanics from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' and replaces them with a new Variable system centered around a V-Gauge that is filled using character specific V-Skills. The V-Gauge in turn can be used to power moves called V-Reversals and V-Triggers. The game also features interactive arenas, with special animations when a player is defeated in a certain part of the arena. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Storywise, it marks the debut of a more thorough Story Mode. Characters have their own individual prologues in the style of [[VisualNovel visual novels]] with fights in-between, similar to what Creator/ArcSystemWorks are known for; Bengus is providing the artworks for the character prologues, this being his return to the series 18 years after his work on ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3''. A free update released in June 2016 adds a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hErMjWLphng cinematic Story Mode]] (think more along the lines of [[Creator/NetherrealmStudios NetherRealm Studios]]), titled "A Shadow Falls," which bridges the gap between ''Street Fighter IV'' and ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII''. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | As for future updates, Capcom will forego their [[CapcomSequelStagnation usual practice]] of [[UpdatedRerelease updated re-releases]]. Instead, all gameplay updates will be free. Characters can be unlocked either with earn-able in-game currency called Fight Money or bought with real money. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Capcom plans to support the game with additional characters and content for at least five years, with Alex, the first character of "Season 1" of downloadable characters, being made available a month after the game launched. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | On October 5, 2017, a new version of the game was announced; ''Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition'', both as a new release and as a free update for those who already have the game, allowing new players to hop in with all of the extra content and also keep their promise of players only ever needing to buy the game once. ''Arcade Edition'' not only adds in arcade mode, but ''six'' different arcade mode styles, each one themed around a past ''Street Fighter'' title.[[note]]Some select routes have [[AssetActor counterpart stand-ins]] to keep the size of the roster adequate, such as Balrog acting as Mike in the ''Street Fighter I'' route, or Laura for Sean in the ''Street Fighter III'' route.[[/note]] There's also Extra Battle mode, where players fight against unique NPC enemies for Fight Money rewards and special costumes. Additionally, there's now an art gallery, a complete revamp of the UI, and each character is now has a second V-Trigger that can be chosen before the match begins. ''Arcade Edition'' was released on January 16, 2018. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | On November 17, 2019, yet another new version of the game was announced; this time titled ''Street Fighter V: Champion Edition'', similar to ''Arcade Edition'', it will be both a new release and a free update for previous owners of ''SFV''. It will be released on February 14, 2020. This version also added a second V-Skill in the form of V-Skill II, which was made available in a December 2019 update. ''Champion Edition'' included 40 characters, including the latest DLC characters Gill and Seth, 34 Stages including the new stage Sun Chase Moon, and over 200 costumes, with the exceptions of Fighting Chance, Capcom Pro Tour, and Brand Collaboration costumes not included and either have to be unlocked or bought separately. ''Champion Edition'' was made available both physically/digitally as its own individual product, and through a slightly lower priced DLC bundle labeled as an ''Upgrade Kit''. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The same year ''Championship Edition'' launched, an arcade port of the game co-developed by Creator/{{Taito}}, titled ''Street Fighter V: Type Arcade'', launched in Japanese arcades. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | On May 27, 2020, it was announced that the game will receive a final season of content. Billed ''Season V'', it features six additional characters and three new stages for a grand total of ''46'' fighters -- the highest seen in any previous iteration of the franchise. Of the six characters, three of them are returning from previous titles: Dan Hibiki, Rose, and Oro. The remainder consists of Akira Kazama, the first character from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' to make a playable appearance in a ''Street Fighter'' installment, Luke, a brand new original fighter connected to the future of the series, and a mimic character named "Eleven" that takes the random fighting style and form of a member of the cast each match. The cast of ''Season V'' was released over time between Winter 2020 and Fall 2021. Season V also introduced another new V-System mechanic called "V-Shift", which allows a character to use their V-Gauge to evade an opponent, either to counter at range or to strike back with a V-Shift-specific move. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | The game has since sold 5.2 million copies as of December 31, 2020. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | On February 20, 2022, ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' was announced. |
| 25 | |

| 79 | !!The game provides examples of: |
| 80 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 81 | ** Ken's cosplay outfit puts him in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]]'s duds. Both characters are voiced by Creator/ReubenLangdon in the English version of the games. |
| 82 | ** Creator/TomoakiMaeno voices Luke in the Japanese version, the HotBlooded [[EarlyBirdCameo up-and-coming]] {{Hero}} of what would eventually be ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6''. [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersHeroes Deja]] [[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters vu]]... |
| 83 | * AllThereInTheManual: The [[http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/columnlist.html Capcom Fighters Network]] website is a godsend for fans who care about the history and lore of the ''Street Fighter'' franchise. It includes profiles for a vast majority of the characters, telling what they're doing during the time frame of ''SFV''. For example, [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Geki]] is revealed to be a LegacyCharacter, while [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Crimson Viper]] is said to be investigating [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Q]]. |
| 84 | * AndYourRewardIsClothes: Clearing Survival Mode earns a character a new color for the outfit they wore when they won. Unfortunately, you have to do this with ''every'' costume on ''every'' difficulty to get all the variations, not just once per character. |
| 85 | * AntiRageQuitting: Disconnecting from a ranked match several times in a 24-hour period will result in a loss in LP. |
| 86 | * AprilFoolsDay: The CFN website tends to celebrate the holiday with minigames: |
| 87 | ** For 2017, it was a ''Street Fighter'' themed trivia game set in a high school, with Ryu, Chun-Li and Juri in school uniforms acting as opponents. The outfits they wore in this mini-game ended up in ''Street Fighter V'' proper shortly after. |
| 88 | ** For 2018, it was a game called [[VideoGame/{{Hearthstone}} "Hado Stone"]], a luck-based card game with Ed acting as a spokesperson and taking on a role similar to [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi Muto]]. Bison, Sagat, Vega and Balrog acted as opponents, and defeating them rewarded the player with a "Face of Defeat" picture, which is a [[StylisticSuck (usually poorly drawn)]] picture of the opponent, with [[https://imgur.com/a/G77dw#walzM3j 100 to collect]]. Collecting them all rewarded the player with [[spoiler:a sensual looking Ed wallpaper]]. |
| 89 | ** For 2019, it was a ShootEmUp game starring G called "[[VideoGame/NineteenFortyTwo 2019]]: World President Challenges A STG". The game is introduced by the characters from ''Manga/HiScoreGirl'', and features G battling against the forces of Shadaloo. Balrog, Vega, Sagat and Bison act as bosses. [[spoiler:Doing well enough causes Bison to be replaced by Akuma, and doing well enough against Akuma leads to an additional stage, with the final boss being a [[HumongousMecha giant Mecha-F.A.N.G]].]] |
| 90 | ** For 2020, it was a puzzle game called "Neco Drop ~Cat Friends Nation~", where the player collects cat versions of the ''Street Fighter V'' cast by solving puzzles unique to each character. |
| 91 | ** 2021 continued the theme with "Neco Drop 2", a slightly expanded version of Neco Drop with eight new cats, slightly easier puzzles, and the ability to earn extra moves or special items by watching clips of ''Street Fighter V''. The game returned in April 2022, and is still up as of August 2023: https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/necodrop2 |
| 92 | * ArcWelding: ''V'' basically ties the Shadaloo plotlines of ''Alpha'', ''II'', and ''IV'' to the events of ''III'' by revealing [[spoiler:TheIlluminati has a major role in engineering's Bison's downfall]]. |
| 93 | * ArmedFemalesUnarmedMales: The two playable members of Neo Shadaloo are Ed (male) and Falke (female). Ed is a BoxingBattler while Falke fights using a staff. |
| 94 | * ArtEvolution: Bengus being back made many fans cheer, though his current art style has evolved in ways that made some discontent; the characters are more expressive and the action seems more dynamic but the level of detail on the characters is of arguable quality. It seems that Bengus sacrificed detail for flow. |
| 95 | * ArtShiftedSequel: As opposed to the inky style ''IV'' had, ''V'' has a more creative art style (some of the moves being highlighted with watercolor-esque particle effects and the characters looking like they're made of clay). |
| 96 | * AssetActor: Not all of the fighters throughout the series are present, so the closest equivalents had to be used for the {{Nostalgia Level}}s. |
| 97 | * AsYouKnow: In the story, Balrog wonders why the other moons haven't gone off yet, so F.A.N.G gives him a refresher on the events leading up to it, conveniently filling the audience in as well. |
| 98 | * AscendedExtra: |
| 99 | ** R. Mika's tag team partner, YamatoNadeshiko, actually dates from the ''Alpha'' days, too. She is seen in an artwork for ''Capcom Secret File'', where her name is given. It also states that she and R. Mika are from the same promotion, and they occasionally work together. |
| 100 | ** Zeku originally appeared in Guy's ''Alpha 2'' ending, and that was it. He was onscreen for a mere few seconds back then, and now he's a fully-fledged character here. |
| 101 | * AscendedMeme: |
| 102 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8u7px_GzWQ For you, the day Bison's official character reveal was posted by Capcom may have been the most important day of your life.]] [[ButForMeItWasTuesday But for him, it was Tuesday.]] Charlie Nash, Cammy, and Birdie were also revealed on [[Film/StreetFighter a Tuesday]] (Charlie's trailer hinting that Bison would appear), and ''the release date itself'' was on a Tuesday. |
| 103 | ** The in-game currency for ''Street Fighter V'' is [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Fight Money]]. |
| 104 | ** The premium currency Capcom initially planned to implement was Zenny, depicted by [[Film/StreetFighter a coin bearing Bison's image]]. |
| 105 | ** It would seem that "Hot Ryu" has officially gained traction over at Capcom. There is a special edition of the game exclusive to Japan, that comes with both Ryu and Chun-Li's alternate costumes, as well as a new box cover that features both of these "hot" costumes prominently. What's it called? [[http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2015/dec/09/street-fighter-5-hot-package-edition-set-hit-japan/ The Hot Package.]] Ryu's Pop Asia figure that features this costume is just straight up called [[http://media1.eventhubs.com/images/2016/07/18_funko02.jpg Hot Ryu.]] |
| 106 | ** At one point during Ryu's story, Ryu is hesitant to fight. Gouken quips that Ryu always says, "The answer lies in the heart of battle," which was his ''IV'' intro. |
| 107 | ** While it's done in a roundabout way, part of Nash's story involves him effectively telling Guile to go home and be a family man. |
| 108 | ** You know how Guile's theme goes with everything? It's the first to be paired with its character's trailer. Not only that, but the game has ''two'' versions of Guile's theme. One that plays when you fight against Guile, and another when you fight on Guile's stage, the Air Force Base. |
| 109 | ** In the cinematic Story Mode, Bison's reaction when he sees his subordinates squabbling with each other is "[[WesternAnimation/StreetFighter This is delicious!]]" |
| 110 | ** In the final chapter of Story Mode, Charlie's BondOneLiner before attempting to kill Bison is "[[Film/StreetFighter Game over]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bastard]]!" |
| 111 | ** Players started making videos where they [[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017/aug/19/new-street-fighter-5-bomb-challenge-explodes-popularity-here-are-some-most-creative-submissions-so-far/ do tricks with Ibuki's bomb V-Trigger]]. Shortly after, Capcom released [[http://tamaya.capcom.co.jp/ Tamaya: Ninja Fireworks Education]], an Ibuki-themed four-player online game on the CFN website, where each player must gather the most bombs to win. |
| 112 | ** Zeku's win quote against Juri includes the line, "Your sadness, profound." This references [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-ANnjvrlA Guy's rather odd defeat cry]] from ''IV''. |
| 113 | ** Balrog and Ed's ''V'' Arcade Mode endings both show [[Film/StreetFighter Bison Dollars]]. The ones in Balrog's ending even have the actual face of Creator/RaulJulia on them. |
| 114 | ** Blanka's story in ''V'' has him become the subject of a line of plush toys that look like a SuperDeformed version of him. This is no doubt a reference to series producer Yoshinori Ono's fascination with a Blanka toy that he got from a [=McDonalds=] in the Phillipines, which he often takes pictures of whenever he's teasing a future announcement. |
| 115 | * AssKicksYou: |
| 116 | ** Some of R. Mika's attacks use this, which is a given considering the fanservicey nature of her character. Her Peach Assault Critical Art even involves her and Nadeshiko inverse-MarshmallowHell their opponent into a piledriver. |
| 117 | ** Laura's jumping HK has her turn around and thrust her ass at the opponent, rather than perform any kind of kick. |
| 118 | ** Even ''Seth'' does this when he copies R. Mika's Flying Peach. |
| 119 | * AttackReflector: |
| 120 | ** Bison can perform one now ([[NonIndicativeName sort of]] [[note]]the move involves Bison nullifying any single hit attack with his hand and then sending back one of his own; its name, Psycho Reflect, is a mistransliteration of the kanji, which spells out the more appropriate Psycho '''Reject'''[[/note]]). |
| 121 | ** Urien's Aegis Reflector returns as his V-Trigger. |
| 122 | ** Abigail, when powered up by his V-Trigger, can charge up his Abi Blaster attack to reflect projectiles, including Critical Arts. |
| 123 | ** Menat's V-Skill is Soul Reflect, which reflects projectiles if she is holding her crystal ball, otherwise, it absorbs them. |
| 124 | * BadassLongcoat: Bison has replaced his traditional cape with a trenchcoat, and also wears it in combat. |
| 125 | * BadGuyBar: The Underground Arena stage. Whilst it's the main hangout of Zangief and R. Mika, who aren't villains at all, some of the characters that appear in the background are a bit questionable, such as the man and woman wearing ski-masks and carrying assault rifles. The more aristocratic looking patrons are apparently involved in illegal weapon and art trading. [[spoiler:The main story mode also uses this stage as the meeting place of choice for Helen and the various fighters working for her. Not all of them are bad, but Helen ultimately works for the Illuminati, so she isn't exactly a good person.]] |
| 126 | * BigApplesauce: A New York City stage based on Wall Street, City in Chaos, was revealed at New York Comic-Con. |
| 127 | * BigGood: [[{{Ojou}} Karin Kanzuki]] takes this role in the story mode, being the driving logistical force behind most of the fighters getting together to combat Bison. |
| 128 | * BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Shadaloo is left in ruins, the Dolls have recovered their senses, and Bison has finally been killed. However, Rashid was unable to save his friend and was left with a final message from her, then there's Helen, whose true name is Kolin, is actually working for the Illuminati and they plan to conquer the world. Also, supplemental material says Bison no longer needs a body to survive, having returned as a ghost.]] |
| 129 | * BookEnds: The tutorial, and the post-credits fight, are sparring matches between Ryu and Ken. |
| 130 | * BootstrappedLeitmotif: Played with. As is par the course for most ''Street Fighter'' titles, the majority of the returning characters keep their stage music from ''II'' and/or the ''Alpha'' series as their individual themes. Even the fighters with comparatively less longevity retain their most recent tunes, such as "Prismatic Stars" being heavily remixed for R. Mika, Alex receiving another version of "Jazzy NYC," and Ibuki's theme being a rearrangement of "Twilight" from ''3rd Strike'' like in ''SSFIV'' as opposed to "Sharp Eyes" from ''NG/2I''. The sole exception so far among the vets is Karin, though her new theme [[MusicalNod sneaks in]] the opening notes from ''Alpha 3''[='s=] "Simple Rating" right before the song loops. At the same time, the [[NostalgiaLevel retro stages]] from ''II'' and ''Alpha'' also use arrangements of the classic themes as the stage BGM, as was originally intended. |
| 131 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: |
| 132 | ** There have been a number of cases of the game being censored throughout development and even post-release, with a lot of inconsistency over what is changed and what remains uncensored. The reason for much of the inconsistent censorship can be laid upon the fact that big tournaments for the game are broadcast on Creator/{{ESPN}} (and in the case of EVO, it was also aired on Creator/DisneyXD, surprisingly). Certain outfits and moves couldn't get past the MediaWatchdog, leading to some things being changed, but some {{stripperiffic}} outfits remained untouched, since they are optional and can easily be banned from TV broadcast. |
| 133 | ** One of the beta updates altered camera angles to put a crotch shot of Cammy during her intro and R. Mika's butt slap when using Peach Assault offscreen. Yoshinori Ono stated the changes were due to an internal decision to avoid offending people. However, another source at Capcom said they were changed so the game could keep a Teen ESRB rating. Since then, it's obvious that the change was made on ESPN's request. Since the move is an integral part of Mika's moveset, they can't just tell a player to not use it, since that would put them at a disadvantage. Because of this, the camera angles were changed so that they can more broadcast friendly. |
| 134 | ** When Juri showed up in Cammy's Story Mode, her costume showed a ''lot'' of skin, including NavelDeepNeckline. When she made her playable debut months later, the same costume now had a skintight black body stocking underneath it. This change was made since this is her default outfit, and would therefore need to be seen on the character select screen at some point during broadcast, even if the player switched to a different outfit. This was also deemed to be the case for R. Mika's default outfit, with one player being asked to switch to her Story Costume after playing a match in her default. However, the outfit remains unaltered, presumably because the censors problem lies with the outfit showing off too much of Mika's butt, which isn't visible on the character select screen. This is ''also'' a problem for Cammy's default outfit, with one player being asked to wear her much less revealing [[LittleBlackDress CPT outfit]]. |
| 135 | ** Nipples outlines were done away with, notable on Cammy and Chun-Li, with the July 2016 update. |
| 136 | ** When the Temple Hideout stage was released, it was quickly pulled from sale to have the music replaced, since the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsgEtkHWTgE original track]] contained Islamic chanting. However, there is some debate over whether this is a case of them being afraid of offending Muslims or if they removed it because it doesn't make sense for there to be Islamic chanting in a level based in ''Thailand''. |
| 137 | * TheBusCameBack: |
| 138 | ** Nash, [[NotHimself though not quite as fans may remember him]]. |
| 139 | ** Birdie is [[BigEater also not quite as how fans may remember him]]. |
| 140 | ** R. Mika makes a return, but unlike the other two, she hasn't changed that much though she did [[AmazonianBeauty bulk up]] a bit. |
| 141 | ** Karin is back as well, but she's no longer a schoolgirl. |
| 142 | ** As far as DLC goes, neither Alex nor Urien have been seen in a main installment of the series since ''3rd Strike'' (all the way back in ''1999''), their only consolation being appearances in ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'' (both) and ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'' (Alex). |
| 143 | ** [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Juni]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Oro, Sean]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Abel and C. Viper]] have also returned as story mode [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]]. |
| 144 | ** From outside ''Street Fighter'', Lucia Morgan appears after her lone appearance in ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3'', and Akira Kazama after appearing in both ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' titles. |
| 145 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: A meta example with the {{Trope Namer|s}} himself. Bison was both hinted at (in Nash's trailer) and revealed in his own trailer on Tuesdays. Some news sites even [[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/05/19/for-you-it-is-m-bison-reveal-day-for-street-fighter-v-but-for-him-it-is-tuesday.aspx acknowledged this.]] |
| 146 | * CallBack: Several characters flashback to a vague time period, strongly implied to be around the time of ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 2]]''[[note]]The beginning of Charlie's story mode is his ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' ENDING.[[/note]] |
| 147 | * CallForward: Chun-Li is introduced looking after a young girl named Li-Fen, offering to teach her martial arts. In ''Street Fighter III 3rd Strike'', she's become a martial arts instructor and is looking for a young girl who was abducted by Urien. |
| 148 | * TheCameo: |
| 149 | ** In the Bustling Side Street stage, a bus in the background drives by featuring a promotion for a new [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Fei Long]] movie. |
| 150 | ** The Union Station stage has a banner that features the ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' cast, including Haggar, Cody, Guy, and Maki. Haggar also again in both Zangief and R. Mika's ''V'' Arcade Mode endings, where it's set up that there's going to be a tag-team wrestling match of Zangief and Mika versus Haggar and Nadeshiko. |
| 151 | ** Gouken appears in the game's prologue, as well as in Rashid's ''V'' Arcade ending. |
| 152 | ** [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Rose]] makes a cameo appearance as the Queen of Hearts in the beginning of Nash's Story Mode. She also appears at the end of Menat's Arcade Mode ladder. |
| 153 | ** Rashid's Story Mode has him using a chat app on his phone, and he's got a lot of ''Street Fighter'' characters in his contacts. Replaying it changes the names that show up. Cameos include [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Fei Long]] (FEILONG_DRAGON), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Dan]] ([=IamSaikyoRyo=]), [[VideoGame/FinalFight Poison]] (H.W.A_EPIC), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Abel]] (Abel), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Rufus/Candy]] (Galaxy_My_Honey), [[VideoGame/FinalFight Guy]] ([=NinjaGUY=]), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Mr. Gotch]] ([=Mr.UKButler=]), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Necro]] ([=FreedomTraveler_Ilya=]), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Hakan]] (Hakan_Oil), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Kolin]] ([=honeysunnygilly=]) and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Crimson Viper]] (effiepurpnight). |
| 154 | ** Crimson Viper appears in M. Bison's story, Juri's story ''and'' Urien's story. |
| 155 | ** Dhalsim's Story has him encounter [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Oro]]. Karin's Story also makes mention of him, and he shows up again in Menat's. |
| 156 | ** In Alex's Story Mode, he's kidnapped by F.A.N.G and put into The Grid, where he's forced to fight against holographic simulations of other characters, a few of whom are unplayable, including Dan ([[PromotedToPlayable who would be added later in the game]]), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII E. Honda]] and Hakan. |
| 157 | ** Abel accompanies Guile in his Story Mode, having evidently [[DressingAsTheEnemy gone undercover as a Shadaloo soldier]], but is left unable to fight after an encounter with F.A.N.G. He appears again in the cinematic story mode, as an informant for Guile and the heroes. |
| 158 | ** Tiffany Lords and Hinata Wakaba from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' appear in the background of the Kanzuki Family Beach stage. Four of the Judgement Girls from ''Street Fighter III'' (Julia, Anna, Rifa, and Tonfa) also appear. |
| 159 | ** [[spoiler:Gill appears at the end of the Story Mode, "A Shadow Falls."]] |
| 160 | ** Necro and Effie appear in the background of the Spooky Arena. |
| 161 | ** Gen is BackForTheDead in Akuma's story mode. |
| 162 | ** ''Arcade Edition'' brings back the barrel breaking BonusStage, with barrels being thrown by [[VideoGame/FinalFight Two P]]. |
| 163 | ** Abigail's ''V'' Arcade Mode ending has him on the phone with [[VideoGame/FinalFight Sodom, Rolento and Belger]]. |
| 164 | ** El Fuerte gets beaten up in both Zangief's ''IV'' ending and R. Mika's ''V'' ending. |
| 165 | ** Mike, after having been missing since the first ''Street Fighter'', makes a cameo in Balrog's ''SFI'' Arcade ending. |
| 166 | ** Geki (or rather, his disciple) appears in Vega's ''V'' Arcade ending. |
| 167 | ** The CPT 2019 DLC stage Ring of Justice is a veritable ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' festival. Taking place in a wrestling ring in the middle of Metro City, the fight is watched over by every Mad Gear boss (including Abigail if he's not in play), a good chunk of Mad Gear underlings, and even former Metro City Mayor Mike Haggar is there. |
| 168 | ** With the addition of Akira, more ''Rival Schools'' characters have made appearances. Edge and Gan appear in the new Rival Riverside stage, and Yurika and Zaki appear in Akira's ''V'' Arcade ending. |
| 169 | ** The Ring of Arcade stage added in 2022 includes cameos from a number of older Capcom games. These include Morrigan and Demitri from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', Jin Saotome and Princess Devilotte from ''VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}}'', Ingrid from ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'', Kenji from ''VideoGame/RedEarth'', June Lin Milliam from ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'', Bred from ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', a Servbot from ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'', and even Scott and Max, the two combatants from the original ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' intro. Additionally, images of VideoGame/MegaMan, VideoGame/CaptainCommando, [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Arthur]], Blodia and Hauzer can also be seen. |
| 170 | * CameraAbuse: Balrog is back at it again. Just like in ''SFIV'', he punches the camera in his winning animation. |
| 171 | * CanonImmigrant: The Capcom Fighters Network website provides profiles that fit characters from other media into the game universes, most prominently the [[Film/StreetFighter Bison Troopers]] (who are said to come from Shadaloo's American division) and Captain Sawada. |
| 172 | ** Dan's sister Yuriko, who previously only appeared in Dan's ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting''-spoofing ending in ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter'', is now running the shop as of the Dojo mode update. |
| 173 | * CanonWelding: With Akira Kazama's inclusion in Street Fighter V as part of the final season pass, this firmly connects the VideoGame/RivalSchools universe as part of the canon world alongside VideoGame/FinalFight rather than just being an alternate continuity as originally intended. |
| 174 | * CastHerd: Arcade Mode has 6 different paths to choose from based on each game series, each of which has players going against characters who were playable in those respective series, with the ladder themed on this very game having players face off against the entire roster. Due to the imbalanced roster, each path varies in the number of fights and amount of selectable characters, some of which don't accurately reflect the original games: |
| 175 | ** The first ''Street Fighter'' has a shorter ladder because only five characters from that game are playable here. Balrog acts as a stand-in for Mike, since the two characters are already so similar. Also, since ''Street Fighter I'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' took place at nearly the same time, Cody, Abigail, Zeku[[note]]Even though he technically never appeared in ''Final Fight'', Zeku's connection to Guy is what qualifies him.[[/note]], Poison and Lucia are also playable here. |
| 176 | ** The ''Street Fighter III'' ladder features Kolin as a possible opponent, even though she was merely a background character there in Gill's intro, and Laura is also featured as a stand-in for her brother Sean. Poison is also here, since she was featured here as Hugo's manager. |
| 177 | ** The herding is also strong to the point that a player cannot choose a character if they aren't an opponent in the designated ladder. For example, Alex and Ibuki are not in the ''II'' or ''Alpha'' ladders, Balrog and Bison are not in the ''III'' ladder, etc. As such, Ryu and Ken are the only fighters to appear in all 6 possible paths. |
| 178 | ** The "bosses" in Survival Mode when the character order is set to random are themed around this. On Easy, it's Necalli (a LoneWolfBoss), on Medium, it's the Illuminati (Nash, Kolin, and Urien), on Hard, it's Shadaloo (Birdie, F.A.N.G, Balrog, Vega and Bison), and on Extreme, it's the hero team from the game's story mode (Ibuki, R. Mika, Zangief, Dhalsim, Guile, Karin, Cammy, Chun-Li, Ken and Ryu). |
| 179 | * CastingGag: |
| 180 | ** This isn't first time Creator/RomiPark (Kolin) has voiced someone who [[Manga/{{Bleach}} controls]] [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara ice]]. |
| 181 | ** This isn't the first time Creator/HiroyukiYoshino (Ed) has voiced a SuperSoldier [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 before]]. |
| 182 | ** Cute Egyptian-based Menat gets [[Creator/AoiYuuki the same]] [[Creator/EricaLindbeck voice actresses]] for both languages with [[VideoGame/Persona5 someone who was involved with Egyptian palaces before.]] Additionally, in the Japanese version, it's not the first time we hear Creator/AoiYuuki voicing a very cute dark-skinned girl [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} before]]. |
| 183 | ** This isn't the first time Creator/RichardEpcar was involved in a ''Street Fighter'' [[Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie installment]], albeit this time, he voiced Akuma, not E. Honda. |
| 184 | ** This isn't the first time Creator/NobuoTobita (Zeku) [[Manga/{{Naruto}} has voiced a ninja]]. |
| 185 | ** Curiously enough, this is not the first time Creator/KazuhiroYamaji (G) has voiced someone related with the ''Street Fighter'' franchise, as he voiced both Vega in the home video dub of the first live-action ''Film/StreetFighter'' film, and M.Bison in the Japanese dub of ''Film/StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi''. Also, this not the first time he voiced characters with [[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} big]] [[Film/Scarface1983 ambitions]] [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in mind]]. |
| 186 | ** Creator/FumihikoTachiki voiced a character (Gill) who is the leader of a mysterious, secret organization dealing with an AncientConspiracy dating back centuries, and he also hold almost divine-like powers. [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Does that sound really familiar for anyone?]] |
| 187 | * CensorshipBureau: Capcom Pro Tour events have had a mandated banning of "sexy" costumes, such as Chun-Li's "Battle Outfit 1", the swimsuit costumes, or any of Laura's alternate costumes. This even includes R. Mika's ''default'' costume. |
| 188 | * CharacterShilling: |
| 189 | ** Lots of it in character stories, with almost every hero heaping tons of praise upon other heroes. For example, Alex, Rashid and Laura, despite being outclassed by some of the A-listers in the game, are still given nothing but praise and encouragement even when they lose. |
| 190 | ** Karin gets a mountain of shilling in the Cinematic Story, with her basically assuming the role of BigGood--a role previously reserved for mystic and mysterious characters like Rose, or wise and powerful characters like Gouken. She also never even loses a match, despite other characters who are supposed to be more skilled, motivated and experienced (like Chun-Li) at least taking a few defeats. |
| 191 | * ChristmasEpisode: December 2016 saw the release of a set of Christmas themed DLC, available for a limited time only. This includes a snowy holiday version of the City in Chaos stage called Frosty Boulevard, as well as Christmas/Santa themed outfits for Zangief, R. Mika, Laura, Ken, Karin and Juri. |
| 192 | ** 2017 saw costumes for Alex, Cammy, Kolin and Menat. |
| 193 | ** 2018 added costumes for Blanka, Cody, Falke and Sakura. |
| 194 | ** 2019 adds costumes for G, Poison, and Lucia, as well as a new Holly Jolly Beatdown stage set in Abigail's Bay Area auto shop, complete with snow and a smiling inflatable Abigail decoration. |
| 195 | * CloseKnitCommunity: The ''Street Fighter'' community has become an unusual version of this. In this game, it seems that every fighter knows one another or KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy, which [[OneDegreeOfSeparation in some way links them to almost every character]] in the ''Street Fighter'' verse. Further, on the good guys' side, almost every meeting between characters is saccharinely sweet; characters rarely have anything other than kind words for one-another and heap constant praise about how much stronger and more skilled every single fighter has become since their last meeting. The sole exception is Birdie, who has become TheChewToy. |
| 196 | * ComebackMechanic: The V-Gauge works on a similar principle to ''Street Fighter IV''[='s=] Revenge Meter in that you must take in damage to power it up. Unlike ''Street Fighter IV'', however, players can also fill up the V-Gauge by landing special moves called V-Skills. |
| 197 | * ContinuitySnarl: Several characters, like Ryu, Ken, Charlie and M. Bison, during flashbacks, use outright versions of their appearance from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'', but other characters, like Vega and Chun-Li, use completely new costumes, despite strong suggestions they are remembering roughly the same time period. |
| 198 | * CoolBigSis: |
| 199 | ** Cammy's story preview has her protecting Juni, one of the former Dolls, from Shadaloo. She also vows to free the other Dolls from their enslavement, no matter what the cost. [[spoiler:Her determination in being such actually leads her to abandoning the World Warriors and going on the run with Juri in order to protect Decapre. Luckily the Illuminati had similar goals to the World Warriors and thanks to Rashid's efforts against F.A.N.G, the Dolls break free from the control of Shadaloo and immediately start fighting against them (though Decapre had broken free earlier as well).]] |
| 200 | ** Chun-Li's story preview has her looking after a young girl named Li-Fen while reminiscing over the events of the ''Alpha'' series, and offers to train her in kung fu. |
| 201 | ** Laura Matsuda's story mode shows her as one to Sean, with her hugging him at the beginning and him wondering where she's run off to at the end. |
| 202 | * CostumeInertia: The ending of Karin's Story Mode [[spoiler:shows Sakura [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV once again]] wearing her school uniform. This despite the game taking place during a time when the latter should be grown up just like the former.[[note]]Though this was previously {{Hand Wave}}d by Capcom themselves, who revealed that Sakura wears the outfit because she personally considers it appropriate fighting attire. Meaning, Sakura really is [[https://twitter.com/Yoshi_OnoChin/status/698717306143248384 forever high school girl]] and it's by choice.[[/note]]]] |
| 203 | ** Notably, when Sakura was finally playable, she's no longer using her school uniform. She now has a proper training uniform, in a similar style to Ryu, and her primary costume is now a pachinko parlour attendant's uniform, which is her ''work clothes'', with the school uniform being more her iconic look. |
| 204 | * CounterAttack: The V-Reversal allows you to block and counter a single attack, similar to an [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha Counter]]. It uses up a stock of V-Gauge to do so. Unlike Alpha Counters, though, V-Reversals are not guaranteed and must be used early enough in an animation to catch the opponent's recovery. If you do one with incorrect timing, it can be blocked and punished. Also not every V-Reversal will hit the opponent either (Nash, for instance, just dashes away when you use his V-Reversal). |
| 205 | * DarkerAndEdgier: The ''Street Fighter'' series has never been ''that'' light of a story. Multiple character deaths, the topic of darkness, and let's not get into the Dolls. However, "A Shadow Falls" ramps things up to 200% and doesn't look back. A good example of this is when [[spoiler:F.A.N.G melts Rashid's friend within the first 30 minutes of the story and ''licks the remains''.]] |
| 206 | * ADayInTheLimelight: This game takes place at the height of Bison's Shadaloo Empire. [[spoiler:However, it's also the story of how he finally falls before the events in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII''.]] |
| 207 | * DeadlyForceField: G's V-Skill "G Barrier" has him creating a force field momentarily that covers his body. It can deal damage if done at close range, and if he has activated his [[SuperMode V-Trigger 1]], he can also launch the barrier forward as a projectile. |
| 208 | * DeathbringerTheAdorable: [[spoiler:Neo Shadaloo is this. The name makes it look like a revival of Shadaloo, but it is really a group of survivors of Shadaloo's experiments whose members support each other and is not a criminal organization. It was named by someone who is by all rights a child and is a child in mind but was subject to ArtificialAging, giving a child an adult's body.]] |
| 209 | * DecoyProtagonist: For "A Shadow Falls," we're led to believe either Ryu, Nash, or just outright both would be the protagonists of the story. [[spoiler:Nash does have a central role but ultimately suicide bombs Bison to no effect late in the story and his role amounts to little other than exposing Helen's darker tendencies. Ryu is barely present at all for the story, mostly off-screen training and eventually succeeding in supressing the Satsui no Hado before showing up to deliver the ''coup de grâce'' to Bison. The ''actual'' protagonist in the story is Rashid. He's the bridge storywise between the Illuminati and the World Warriors and frequently floats between them, his storyline of trying to save his friend (and being too late to do so) and all the emotional beats in-between are a big part, and ultimately it's his storyline that defeats Shadaloo once and for all.]] |
| 210 | * DifficultButAwesome: F.A.N.G, Zangief, Karin, and Dhalsim are considered the most difficult characters to use, but extremely troublesome to deal with in the hands of a master with good knowledge and execution. |
| 211 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: |
| 212 | ** Ken, while still possessing the same fighting techniques as before, has a much different execution and flair to his moves from Ryu.[[note]]For example, his HurricaneKick now has an arc rather than going straight, reminiscent of his appearances in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series starting with ''[[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter MSHvSF]]''.[[/note]] In addition, his physical appearance is changed, with a new hairstyle and a new set of threads (a black training shirt with his traditional red gi top just hanging from his waist, similar to Paul Phoenix in ''VideoGame/Tekken4''). |
| 213 | ** Nash started off as a near direct clone of Guile in ''Street Fighter Alpha'' before diverging as Guile was brought back for the console ports of ''Alpha 3''. This time, however, Nash has a much different moveset while Guile sticks to the classic two special moves formula. |
| 214 | * DoubleUnlock: Each character has a story-related costume. After beating that character's Story Mode, it's made available to buy with Fight Money. |
| 215 | * DownloadableContent: Unlike ''Street Fighter IV'', ''Street Fighter V'' will deliver all its improvements and long-term additions slipstreamed into the base game. Also unlike ''IV'', ''V'' will allow players to unlock most features like new characters, costumes, and stages through use of Fight Money earned in-game; however, players still buy them outright with real money. |
| 216 | * DubNameChange: As per all previous versions of the series available outside of Japan, some characters go by different names; Vega, M. Bison, and Balrog, for example. |
| 217 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Of the six initial DLC characters announced, five appeared in the initial version of the game in non-combatant capacity: Alex (at the background of City in Chaos, fixing a car or watching the fight), Balrog (at one point in Bison's story, as well as his statue at the Lair of the Four Kings), Guile (in flashbacks of Chun-Li and Nash's Stories), Ibuki (at the end of R. Mika's story) and Juri (at the end of Cammy's story). Before Urien was made playable, he would only appear in Balrog's story, which had the side effect of making the Illuminati's involvement more mysterious. |
| 218 | ** For Season 2, we have Kolin (as Helen in the general story mode), Ed (accompanies Balrog in his story and in the general story mode), and Menat (appears in Ed's story mode). |
| 219 | ** For Season 3, we have Sakura (in Karin and Ibuki's stories), Blanka (in Sakura's story) and Falke (in Ed's story). |
| 220 | * EasterEgg: Holding down a certain combination of buttons (LP + MP + HP + LK + Up) before a match starts alters certain costumes in some way. For example, Alex will gain a jacket when wearing his Nostalgia costume, while doing the same with Birdie's Nostalgia costume removes his jacket and sunglasses while also changing his hairstyle. |
| 221 | ** Urien has a special button combination (LP + MK + HP) which changes his character intro and has him burn off his business suit in order to fight in his classic thong outfit. |
| 222 | * EnemyRisingBehind: Seems to be the end of Nash's new Judgement Saber Critical Art where he dashes at his opponent, causes the world to go black, then appears from behind his opponent through the darkness without them realizing it. |
| 223 | * EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: If some of Capcom's [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz7/game/sfv/concept/2/zombie/sfv-concept-art-zombie-bison.jpg concept]] [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz7/game/sfv/concept/2/zombie/sfv-concept-art-zombie-cammy.jpg arts]] [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz7/game/sfv/concept/2/zombie/sfv-concept-art-zombie-chunli.jpg are]] [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz7/game/sfv/concept/2/zombie/sfv-concept-art-zombie-dhalsim.jpg to be]] [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz7/game/sfv/concept/2/zombie/sfv-concept-art-zombie-zangief.jpg believed,]] we may end up having an undead mode here too. Or maybe that was done just for kicks. Guile receives a zombie costume for Halloween 2018, as did Poison in 2019. |
| 224 | * EvilOldFolks: Bison's reveal trailer shows that his hair has finally gone gray. |
| 225 | * ExcusePlot: Some of the individual story plots are like this, basically having the selected fighter have some run ins and fights with no real advancement on the character's story arcs. |
| 226 | * FacialProfiling: Something of a first for the series, with the advances in character modeling. Many of the in-game character models exhibit the facial features common to (or at least associated with) the characters' countries of origin. Cammy and Kolin provide a very clear example, and as opposed to being designed as generic, blonde, Caucasian girls, they each exhibit very different facial designs. Kolin has the angular features, feline eyes and large, triangular nose of a SensualSlav, whereas Cammy has the gentler beauty, dewy, peaches and cream skintone and bee-stung lips of a classic EnglishRose. Likewise Menat, a young Egyptian woman, sports a subtle, yet noticable aquiline nose, befitting her Egyptian heritage. |
| 227 | * FailedASpotCheck: In Blanka's story, Sakura only realized the guy causing trouble at her arcade workplace was Blanka after fighting him. You know, given how many people in Japan and elsewhere in the world have unkempt bright red hair down to their knees, oh, and are ''green''. |
| 228 | * FanservicePack: |
| 229 | ** Cammy's gone up a cup size or two in this game. |
| 230 | ** R. Mika is as well-endowed as ever, but her already {{Stripperiffic}} LeotardOfPower has been altered in a way that somehow bares even more skin than before. |
| 231 | ** Ryu's infamous "Hot Ryu" alternate costume has him [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] and sporting a full beard. |
| 232 | *** This would get one-upped with the inclusion of his DLC [[VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}} Jin Saotome]] costume; using the EasterEgg button combination sheds Ryu of ''[[{{Stripperiffic}} all of his clothes]]'', leaving him [[BattleStrip in just a fundoshi]].[[note]]This being a direct reference to Jin's taunt animations from the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' franchise, where he loses his clothes momentarily to rub his back with a bath towel[[/note]] |
| 233 | ** One of Chun-Li's alternate costumes has most of her hair down and puts her in a skimpy Chinese dress that focuses heavily on her [[AmazonianBeauty well-defined legs]]. |
| 234 | ** Laura's regular outfit shows some serious cleavage; her {{Stripperriffic}} alternate outfits takes it up to eleven and beyond. |
| 235 | ** Added in the June 2016 update is a new stage, the Kanzuki Beach, and Karin was given a bikini costume to go with it. In the background of the stage as well, you can see [[VideoGame/RivalSchools Tiffany, Hinata]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Julia, Anna, Rifa, and Tonfa]] in bikinis. Swimsuit outfits were added for the rest of the female cast, sans Juri, throughout July. Two years later, the rest of the female cast (Juri, Kolin, Sakura, Menat and Falke) got swimsuits of their own. |
| 236 | * FlippingTheBird: When Nash stands up after losing the fight against Bison in the latter's story, he fits his glasses with his middle finger. |
| 237 | * ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:While Ryu is prophesized to be consumed by Necalli, it's canon that it's not going to stick (considering he appears in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', which takes place after ''V'')]]. |
| 238 | * FormFittingWardrobe: Almost ''[[{{Fanservice}} everybody]]'' in at least one of their costumes. It's a wonder how some of them move around without tearing their clothes. |
| 239 | * FreeFloorFighting: On several stages, if you perform a hard knockout hit on the edge a special cinematic occurs to rub in the humiliation. For example, on Bustling Side Street, a knockout on the left blows them into a restaurant, or into the kitchen where a bowl of noodles falls on their head if the restaurant is already broken through. |
| 240 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: |
| 241 | ** On Guile's stage, Air Force Base, there is a lady who makes [[http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/may/04/dirty-easter-egg-found-street-fighter-5-background-character-new-air-base-stage-looks-shes-well-see-yourself/ blowjob motions.]] |
| 242 | ** Certain background characters will have things happen to them if the fighters keep knocking each other over: |
| 243 | *** The janitor in the Union Station stage will fall over and end up with his bucket on his head. |
| 244 | *** In the Kanzuki Estate stage, Ishizaki, the butler who accompanied Karin in the ''Alpha'' series, will get smacked with a dinner tray by the maid standing next to him, as she gets more and more annoyed by Ishizaki's excitement over watching the fight. |
| 245 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: |
| 246 | ** The game gives Chun-Li a lot more outfits that emphasize her role as an Interpol agent, such as a beat cop uniform, special forces gear, and a more conservative look called "Undercover Cop". |
| 247 | ** When Nash remembers his past in his Story Mode, Bison appears with brown hair. However, when the fight starts, Bison has gray hair, possibly due to the lack of a model of him sporting brown hair in gameplay. Also, when the fight is reenacted in Bison's story, Nash is sporting his current stitched-up appearance. |
| 248 | ** When Birdie runs into Ken, the latter remarks he recognizes him despite the two hundred or so pounds he's put on since they last met. However, Birdie is obese even during flashbacks to events years in the past, where he was still a member of Shadaloo. However, Ken could be talking about Birdie's appearance in the original ''Street Fighter'', as concept art shows that Birdie's RaceLift between then and ''Alpha'' was retconned and that he wasn't fat at the time. |
| 249 | ** F.A.N.G's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} traits. In gameplay, his fighting style is very wacky, with some odd winquotes to match. In Story Mode, he is portrayed as a far more sinister and ruthless character with a SocialDarwinist mindset. |
| 250 | * GloriousMotherRussia: Being set there, the Underground Arena stage has numerous hyper-Russian elements: a bar with Russian text above it, a bear wandering around, furry-hatted men doing ThatRussianSquatDance atop giant matryoshka dolls... Oh, and two red banners, one with a yellow hammer and the other with green wheat (alluding to the sickle). |
| 251 | * GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand: The gigantic statues of the Shadaloo leaders in the backdrop of the Shadaloo stage portrays this. |
| 252 | * GrandFinale: The game is presented as this for the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' story arc, chronicling the seemingly ultimate defeat of Shadaloo. |
| 253 | * HalloweenEpisode: 2016 saw the release of a special limited-edition Halloween-themed stage variation on the Underground Arena, featuring pumpkins, gravestones, undead Russian dancers, and a giant cauldron being stirred by [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Necro and Effie]]. Along with that, six characters received special costumes, with Ryu in [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Bishamon-like samurai armor]], Nash in a [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Victor-like Frankenstein outfit]], Cammy as an undead bride, Vega dressed like a Victorian vampire, Alex as a demon, Necalli as a WolfMan, and Juri as a [[HotAsHell sexy devil]]. |
| 254 | ** 2017 saw the addition of more Halloween costumes. These include Dhalsim as an [[Literature/TheInvisibleMan invisible]] {{mummy}}, M. Bison as {{Satan}}, Urien as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Gill]], Birdie as a [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974 Leatherface-like]] [[TheButcher butcher]], and F.A.N.G as a MadDoctor with [[PlayingWithSyringes syringes on his fingers]]. |
| 255 | ** 2018's costumes include Abigail as a {{cyclops}}, Falke as a {{shinigami}}, Kolin as a HotWitch and Guile as a zombie. |
| 256 | ** 2019 features a new stage that sets a massive graveyard inside Union Station, as well as costumes of Honda as a {{Kappa}} and Poison as a punk rock zombie. |
| 257 | * HarderThanHard: Survival Mode has four difficulty settings. The first three, Easy, Normal, and Hard, gradually ramp up the difficulty, requiring you to complete 10, 30, and 50 stages, respectively. Extreme ([[IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels originally called Hell]] before an update changed it) has you fight through '''100''' stages. |
| 258 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Happens during some story fights. For example, in Rashid's story fight against Ryu, you have to win to advance, but then Ryu defeats Rashid in the scene afterwards anyway. |
| 259 | * HighAltitudeBattle: The Skies of Honor stage, where you fight on top of the wings of Rashid's jet in mid-flight. [[AllThereInTheManual According to the CFN's release notes]], Azam is such a good pilot that the fighters don't even feel any shaken as he flies about with them on top of the aircraft. |
| 260 | * HitStop: Similar to ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha 3]]'', counter hits with heavy attacks (called in-game Crush Counters) cause a brief pause and increased hitstun to the opponent, allowing for otherwise impossible combos. |
| 261 | * HomeStage: Most, but not all, characters have a stage or two associated with them. Some returning or remade from previous games: |
| 262 | ** Air Force Base (U.S.A.) for Guile and Charlie Nash. |
| 263 | ** Apprentice Alley (India) for Dhalsim. |
| 264 | ** Ayutthaya Ruins (Thailand) for Sagat. |
| 265 | ** Bustling Side Street (China) for Chun-Li. |
| 266 | ** City in Chaos (New York City, U.S.A.) for Alex and Ken. |
| 267 | ** Dojo for Dan. |
| 268 | ** English Manor (England) for Cammy. |
| 269 | ** Flamenco Tavern (Spain) for Vega. |
| 270 | ** Forgotten Waterfall (New Zealand) for Necalli and Nash. |
| 271 | ** High Roller Casino (Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.) for Balrog. |
| 272 | ** Hillside Plaza (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) for Laura and Blanka. |
| 273 | ** Kanzuki Beach (Malaysia) for Karin. |
| 274 | ** Kanzuki Estate (Japan) for Karin again, Ibuki, and Zeku. |
| 275 | ** Kasugano Residence (Japan) for Sakura. |
| 276 | ** King's Court (Thailand) for Sagat. |
| 277 | ** The Lair of the Four Kings for F.A.N.G and to an extent Bison, Balrog, Vega, and Sagat. [[note]]Whose statue is switched out for F.A.N.G.'s, depending on the stage version.[[/note]] |
| 278 | ** Metro City Bay Area ([[Videogame/FinalFight Metro City,]] U.S.A.) for Abigail. And probably to an extent the other ''Final Fight'' characters. |
| 279 | ** Port of Genoa (Italy) for Rose and Menat. |
| 280 | ** Shadaloo Base for M. Bison, Vega, Balrog, F.A.N.G, and Ed. |
| 281 | ** Skies of Honor (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) for Rashid. |
| 282 | ** Sun Chase Moon for Gil. |
| 283 | ** Suzaku Castle (Japan) for Ryu. |
| 284 | ** Temple Hideout (Thailand) for Bison and Akuma. |
| 285 | ** Temple of Ascension (Japan) for Akuma. |
| 286 | ** Underground Arena (Russia) for Zangief and R. Mika. |
| 287 | ** Union Station (London, England, UK) for Birdie and Cammy. |
| 288 | * HotterAndSexier: Despite the early attempts to cut back, or alter, some content that was perceived as too sexual, as the years went by the game still groomed new outfits and new characters that are quite suggestive, ''[=SFV=]'' is the easily the most sexually charged entry in the franchise compared to its predecessors. |
| 289 | * IconicOutfit: |
| 290 | ** Notably Ryu, Chun-Li, and Zangief are the only returning characters not to be visually redesigned in some manner. |
| 291 | ** R. Mika keeps her old wrestling garb with a slight modification. However, since she's only ever been in one ''Street Fighter'' game, changing her outfit might not have turned any heads (or it might, but [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks for the wrong reasons]]). |
| 292 | ** Cammy has her classic Delta Red look from ''II'' and ''IV'' (as opposed to her Killer Bee attire from ''Alpha''), with her only differences being the loss of the camo paint on her legs and the addition of gun holsters on her shoulders and right thigh, similar to her appearance in ''VideoGame/CannonSpike''. |
| 293 | ** Ken is back in his red gi while in his ''Alpha'' costume, coupled with a younger face and longer hair tied in a ponytail, of course. |
| 294 | ** Chun-Li's alternate costume is her [[LittleBlackDress black evening gown]] that served as her first DLC outfit in ''IV'', which is probably her third best-known outfit behind the usual qipao and ''Alpha'' tracksuit. This time, however, Chun-Li's wearing her hair down. |
| 295 | ** Cody has his prison outfit from ''Alpha'' and ''IV'' as his nostalgia costume and his classic ''Final Fight'' outfit. |
| 296 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Thanks to the art style in all cutscenes, almost every female character that shows up in the game's story mode sport wide hips and large busts with wasp-thin waists. Special mentions go to Ken's wife, Eliza, Laura, and even R. Mika, who is noticeably less muscular compared to her 3D model. |
| 297 | * AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: Dojo Mode. Registering one's account on the [[https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/ CFN website]] and joining a dojo allows the player access to a special dojo stage. Through the website, this stage can be customized with various decorations earned through Fighting Chance. |
| 298 | * {{Interquel}}: Unlike ''IV'', however, ''V'' finally starts bridging the gap between ''II'' and ''III'', with [[spoiler: M. Bison supposedly being KilledOffForReal]], a cameo by Gill, and the addition/return of characters with ties to the Illuminati like Urien and Kolin to the playable roster. |
| 299 | * JapaneseSpirit: [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Zangief, R. Mika (and Azam) are all about "Muscle Spirit."]] It's loosely defined as confidence, spirit, and training that one develops which is then transformed into muscle that assures victory. But it's basically just another version of the JapaneseSpirit trope substituting "muscle" for "ki." |
| 300 | * JumpRopeBlunders: [[TheQuincyPunk Birdie's]] Super Move involves tying the opponent up in [[ChainPain chains]] and playing jump with it, slamming the opponent to the ground over and over. |
| 301 | * LethalJokeCharacter: Dan, who was added in Season 5. While he still retains the traits that make him a joke character, he gained a number of buffs, including a number of tricky cancels that give him access to good damage and pressure. That's on top of a situational, but damaging infinite combo. |
| 302 | * LetterMotif: The letter "V" shows up in quite a few places; there's the Variable System with its V-Skill, V-Trigger, and V-Reversal mechanics, the stage and character select is separated by a V down the middle, Necalli has scars which form V shapes all over his body, and so on. |
| 303 | * LevelsTakeFlight: Skies of Honor, set atop the wings of a plane. |
| 304 | * LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The interface can be a slog to get through. Some of it is legitimate loading times, and some of it is unskippable pomp and ceremony. For example, finishing a match on Ranked takes you through the unskippable win animation, then the post-fight quote/stats screen, then the adding/removal of points, then the option to fight again, and then ''finally'' back to the match. If you can't or don't choose to fight again and were in training mode, it then takes you to the Versus splash page, where you have sit through ''that'' cutscene until you can at last get back to what you were doing. |
| 305 | * LongSongShortScene: All of the routes in ''Arcade Edition''[='s=] Arcade Mode have unique character select themes homaging the games they came from. However you'll probably just roll through the select screens too quickly to hear anything but the beginning of each one. Particularly the ''Street Fighter IV'' and ''Street Fighter V'' routes have select themes that last over two minutes (the ''V'' theme being the original character select from the "vanilla" version of ''Street Fighter V''). |
| 306 | * MeaningfulName: The cinematic story is titled "A Shadow Falls." [[spoiler:By the end of the story, Shadaloo is in ruins and Bison is ''finally'' [[KilledOffForReal dead for real]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII setting the stage for the Illuminati]].]] |
| 307 | * MisplacedWildlife: The New Zealand level features a tuatara prominently sunning itself on a log next to the sheep herd. Tuatara are extinct on all but a few small islands where there are no sheep (or any other introduced mammals). |
| 308 | * MrFanservice: Surprisingly, Ryu becomes this a lot in one of his alt. costumes. A WalkingShirtlessScene [[http://36.media.tumblr.com/89801fb3c759e3c4002242185ceb2a1c/tumblr_ntyt35WZbo1scncwdo2_400.jpg complete]] with a [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/2005516e4e6f21320084093e2935d28b/tumblr_ntyt35WZbo1scncwdo1_400.jpg beard]] and all. This eventually led to this alt. costume garnering the name of [[http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/09/01/street-fighter-v-twitter-is-losing-it-over-hot-ryu-3512857?lt_source=external,manual "Hot Ryu."]] |
| 309 | * MsFanservice: |
| 310 | ** R. Mika. Not only is she very busty, her costume reveals a lot of skin, and her fighting style incorporates a lot of AssKicksYou (plus she slaps her butt right before starting her Critical Art). |
| 311 | ** Laura is also quite buxom and isn't afraid to show it with her top's ludicrous CleavageWindow. [[MaleGaze The camera devotes a lot of focus to her chest and rear for her intro pose]], and Laura's posing before and after battle [[ThirdPersonSeductress is very suggestive]]. Her Story Mode outfit is even skimpier, consisting of a cropped T-shirt with serious {{Underboobs}}, a tiny pair of Daisy Dukes, and a noticeably visible pair of {{black|BraAndPanties}} thong underwear. |
| 312 | ** Chun-Li, especially with her black gown alt. returning from ''IV'', this time with her hair down. Additionally, her 3D character model seems to be more curvaceous compared to her ''Street Fighter IV'' and ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' character model. |
| 313 | ** [[InstantWebHit Y'all we really need to talk about Menat]];-- her costumes, lithe acrobatic movement patterns and even her ''crouch'' pose qualify her, but it's her sashaying SupermodelStrut that led her to pick up a veritable army of new fans. |
| 314 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: Zangief's new Critical Art is just a {{suplex|Finisher}}. A really, ''really'' hard-hitting suplex. Aside from the dynamic camera angles and high damage, there's nothing about it to even make it seem less mundane than his normal command grabs. |
| 315 | * MurderIntoMalevolence: Downplayed with Charlie. Back in ''Videogame/StreetFighterAlpha'', he was murdered by getting shoved off his helicopter by one of his fellow Air Force comrades... who turned out to be a disguised Shadaloo member. Then Urien and Helen, members of Illuminati, brought him back to life (albeit LivingOnBorrowedTime) with a single mission: to stop M. Bison, leader of Shadaloo. Charlie, who's filled with rage and grudge due to what happened to him, simply obliges; he also becomes a cold and dead serious guy who won't hesitate in killing people if they hinder him and has nothing good to say for his old friend Guile. Despite all that, however, he's still one of the good guys, and later come to the realization that he can't do all this alone. |
| 316 | * MythologyGag: |
| 317 | ** Chun-Li's Critical Art has a total of 37 hits when unblocked, in reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM EVO Moment #37.]] |
| 318 | ** If the player selects Urien by pressing Light Punch, Medium Kick, and Heavy Punch together, it [[BattleStrip unlocks his classic]] ''Street Fighter III'' outfit; this was the method used to select special color palettes in ''3rd Strike''. |
| 319 | ** One of Bison's Faces of Defeat has him annoyed with a distinctly Creator/RaulJulia-like face. It even says this was how he looked on a Tuesday. |
| 320 | ** Many moves in Cody's moveset are taken from the ''Final Fight'' series [[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2018/jun/12/codys-move-set-full-references-final-fight-and-other-capcom-titles/ including his Double Kick, Final Combination, Final Combo Throw (FF1) and Tornado Sweep. (Mighty Final Fight)]] |
| 321 | ** In addition to the cameos mentioned above, the Ring of Arcade stage features some non-character shout-outs, such as a piece of meat from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', Edward Falcon's plane from ''VideoGame/PowerStone'' and Osaka Castle from ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}''. |
| 322 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[spoiler:When Ryu finally takes control of the Satsui no Hadou, after Bison is done with, when he, Guile and Chun-Li escape the falling base. Chun-Li is lagging behind due injuries and carrying Li-Fen on her arms. She's about to be caught up in the fire but then Ryu throws a Hadouken with unspecified properties that goes past Chun-Li and Li-Fen, putting the approaching fire away and seemly giving Chun-Li the energy to be back on her toes.]] |
| 323 | * NintendoHard: Extra Story Mode can be living hell to experience, even as early as the first fight against Necalli (in which he has his full powers unlocked from the start). Heck, even the fight against [[JokeCharacter Peter]] gets more challenging (although you can still get past him easily). |
| 324 | * NonchalantDodge: Season V's new "V-Shift", which allows you to burn a bar of V-Gauge to backstep away from an opponent (kind of a combination of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''[='=] Dodge mechanic and the Emergency Evade). From there you can either hang back then retaliate out of range or perform a canned response, similar to a V-Reversal (called a "V-Shift Break"). |
| 325 | * NonIndicativeName: Each character has a "Story Costume" that can be purchased with Fight Money, but for several of the characters (M. Bison, Akuma, Abigail, Menat, Sakura, Cody, G, Kage, E. Honda and Lucia), they're never shown wearing these costumes at any point in the story. Blanka also never wears his, though his is at least relevant to his story, it being a costume version of the plushies he's trying to sell. Rashid is also only ever shown wearing his in E. Honda's story and Sagat during one of his arcade mode endings. |
| 326 | * NoSell: Story Mode takes this to extreme levels: |
| 327 | ** F.A.N.G's poison doesn't work on Bison, who even says as much. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Only in the story, though; during gameplay Bison is just as susceptible as everyone else]]. |
| 328 | ** Ryu's Satsui no Hado punch to Dhalsim. ''At full force.'' |
| 329 | ** Zangief: |
| 330 | *** He was able to withstand Balrog's Gigaton Punch. This is the same move that killed one of Dhalsim's elephants. |
| 331 | *** He takes a Psycho Power-boosted slice to the pecs from Satsuki via Murasame, and shatters it with [[PecFlex a tiny flex]]. |
| 332 | ** R Mika was able to take a Balrog punch to the face. |
| 333 | * NostalgiaLevel: |
| 334 | ** Guile comes with his own ''Street Fighter II'' stage, completely redrawn in the style of ''V''. Even the bystanders' movements are the same. |
| 335 | ** Balrog's High Roller Casino stage is another one, also being a recreation of his Las Vegas-set home stage from ''SFII'', and just as with Guile's Air Force Base, most of the features and people are faithfully recreated except for some changes that were induced for WritingAroundTrademarks: the Golden Nugget's sign was changed from "Golden Nugget: Nin-Nin Hall" was changed to "Golden Bullion: Shadaloo Hall". |
| 336 | ** M. Bison's Thailand Temple stage from ''II'' has been added as well. |
| 337 | ** Vega's Flamenco Tavern stage from ''II'' also returns, and it even includes the cage in the background that only Vega can climb. |
| 338 | ** Abigail's Bay Area stage from ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' has been recreated inline with his debut in season 2's DLC content. |
| 339 | ** Ryu's Suzaku Castle stage from ''II'' returns, which also appeared in ''3rd Strike'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. |
| 340 | ** Cammy's English Manor stage from ''SSFII'' returns, complete with twinkling Northern Lights. |
| 341 | ** Sakura's ''Alpha 2'' stage, Kasugano Residence, returns alongside her. |
| 342 | ** Sagat's classic ''II'' stage, King's Court, was teased in the ''Arcade Edition'' intro and eventually came out at the same time as him. |
| 343 | ** Field of Fate is a classic stage from ''Alpha 2'', and also the setting of the opening scene from ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie''. |
| 344 | ** Marina of Fortune, a beautiful reworking of Rose’s Venetian stage from ''Alpha 2'', returns to the series alongside her as part of the fifth season of DLC characters. |
| 345 | ** The entire Arcade Mode counts, as the music reverts back to remixes of themes hailing from each particular sub-series[[note]]In particular, ''Alpha'', ''III'' and ''IV'' are represented by their fan-favorite installments: ''Alpha 2'', ''[=3rd=] Strike'' and ''Super'' respectively while the ''V'' ladder reverts back to using the original pre-''Arcade Edition'' music[[/note]] and the opponents (mostly) representing said games' rosters. |
| 346 | * NumerologicalMotif: The number 5 within Japanese wordplay and culture shares the same pronunciation as karma or destiny, being ''go''. A lot of the game's thematic scheming is based on destiny and fate, as evidenced greatly by sense of change much of the cast presents in the story and their character. Storywise, V comes to tie up loose ends and wrap up the Alpha/Zero, II and IV era, showing where life will now take everyone into the future. When it comes to III, everyone is beginning to pop out of the woodwork as well, helping to also emphasize its installment's theme of "Fight for the future". Additionally, the game wrapped up its post-launch support with its fifth season (fittingly called Season V). |
| 347 | * ObviousRulePatch |
| 348 | ** At the finale of Season 1 of the Capcom Pro Tour, Capcom unveiled several changes for existing characters. Though the changes have yet to be finalized, the ones that playtesting fans were most fond of were the buffs to Zangief and F.A.N.G and the nerfs R. Mika. But, contention arose from the reveal of ''buffs'' to Chun-Li and ''nothing'' involving Nash, who round out the top five of the tier Scrappies. |
| 349 | ** The introduction of the V-Shift mechanic in Season V also inspired Capcom to turn Necalli's V-Trigger into a timed state like other V-Triggers instead of having it permanently enabled once triggered. This is in response to the addition of the V-Shift mechanic, which gives characters a new way to use V-Gauge and Necalli's permanent V-Trigger would make him too weak against characters who don't surrender their V-Gauge once they use their V-Trigger. |
| 350 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: The characters' various prologue Story Modes reveal that the international fighting circles are smaller, but far more connected, than expected: |
| 351 | ** Due to his new ButtMonkey role, Birdie meets and/or gets his ass kicked by almost half the cast. [[spoiler:This is largely due to him going on the run from Shadaloo and getting hired by Karin.]] In a nod to the ''Alpha'' series, he recognizes Cammy on sight, and nearly gets arrested by Chun-Li when they bump into each other by chance. |
| 352 | ** Nash, Guile, Chun-Li, and Cammy are reunited years after teaming up. |
| 353 | ** Cammy is helping rehabilitate Juni, encounters F.A.N.G, and is being spied upon by both Vega and Juri. |
| 354 | ** Zangief trains with both R. Mika and Laura, is glad to see Karin when they cross paths, and is old friends and possible former rivals with Azam. |
| 355 | ** Azam is in contact with the other fighters' butlers via text messaging. |
| 356 | ** Rashid receives text messages from Hugo and Poison's HWA and Hakan's oil company, and keeps in contact with ''many'' other characters in the ''SF'' universe through social networking. |
| 357 | ** Dhalsim is on friendly terms with Karin and [[spoiler:''Oro'']], of all people. |
| 358 | ** Karin knows just about ''everyone''; part of the Kanzuki Zaibatsu's business involves arranging parties, meetups, and tournaments for strong fighters. This extends to talks with Ibuki's ninja clan, sponsoring R. Mika (as established in ''Alpha 3''), and knowing Ryu's exact location. The only people she ''isn't'' associated with are those of Shadaloo, [[spoiler:but she hires Birdie after he defects]]. |
| 359 | *** Her network is so great [[spoiler:she can call a ton of World Warriors to her mansion within a day. She also commands such respect that she is essentially the ''de facto'' leader of the World Warriors against Shadaloo, impressive when you consider both Chun-Li and Guile are under her command when they are also part of the military.]] |
| 360 | * OptionalBoss: [[spoiler:[[SNKBoss Shin Akuma]] is an optional boss for both the ''II'' and ''IV'' themed Arcade Modes; In the ''Alpha'' path, players can trigger a fight against a character-specific rival under the right circumstances; In the ''V'' Arcade route, G will also fight you under specific conditions, much like how Q served as a Bonus Boss in ''Third Strike''.]] |
| 361 | * OrWasItADream: The ''Arcade Edition'' intro has Ryu go into a meditative state, where he fights Akuma. He ends up with a scratch on his cheek, and when he wakes up, he's still got the scratch. |
| 362 | * OurFounder: [[https://www.jp.playstation.com/blog/20151209-sfv-04.jpg The Shadaloo stage,]] called "Lair of the Four Kings," has gigantic statues of Bison, Vega, Balrog and F.A.N.G in the background. When you fight F.A.N.G in Bison's Story Mode (a fight that takes place in a flashback on how F.A.N.G joined Shadaloo), there's a statue of Sagat in F.A.N.G's place. |
| 363 | * OverdosedTropes: The ''Street Fighter'' series has, in the past, avoided use of the "PartsUnknown" trope (bosses notwithstanding), preferring to assign its characters with recognizable nationalities, and a variety of associated archetypes. However, of the new characters depicted in ''Street Fighter V'', at least ''six'' [[note]]Necali, Rashid, F.A.N.G, Kolin, Ed and Falke[[/note]] have "unknown" listed against "nationality" in their official bios. Whilst some of these characters' designs strongly allude to certain cultures (e.g Rashid = UAE, Kolin = Russia), they have shifted hard toward keeping some characters' national identities ambiguous. |
| 364 | * PaperThinDisguise: Zangief's Fighting Chance costume is supposed to be a disguise, but it's merely his default outfit but with the addition of a luchador mask. In this outfit, he goes by "The Gief", which certainly doesn't help hide his identity. |
| 365 | * PartsUnknown: This is rarely used in the series generally, and in the past it has typically been restricted to boss characters only. However, this game takes it to new extremes, with ''seven'' new characters (Necalli, Rashid, F.A.N.G, Kolin, Ed, Falke and G) having an ambiguous nationality. Laura, definitively presented as being Brazilian, is an exception. This cycle of ambiguity was thankfully smashed towards the end of the second season of DLC characters, following the debuts of both Abigail (Canada) and Menat (Egypt), who incidentally represent brand new nations depicted in the series. However, it's back again with Season 3's Falke and G, although Falke has extremely obvious German traits and G is deliberately without nationality and considers himself to be above the idea, wanting to merge all countries together into one and rule as President of Earth. |
| 366 | * PermanentlyMissableContent: Seasonal stages and costumes are only available for a limited time. This includes the ''Capcom Pro Tour 2016'', ''Halloween'', and ''Holiday'' content. |
| 367 | * PlayEveryDay: Sort of. There are missions you can complete to earn Fight Money. However, one mission that gives a little bit of Fight Money is updated every ''two'' days, while three missions that give large amounts of Fight Money are handed out every week. |
| 368 | * PlayingWithFire: Ken's Fierce Shoryuken and his Shoryu Reppa normally lights foes ablaze but his V-Trigger Mode will give ''all'' his special attacks fire properties. |
| 369 | * PostFinalBoss: The epilogue of the Story Mode has one last sparring match between Ryu and Ken. |
| 370 | * PowerCrystal: In the teaser trailer, Nash is seen with one embedded in his forehead, implying its significance in his return. |
| 371 | * ProductPlacement: |
| 372 | ** The special DLC stages released in the yearly CPT packs (Ring of Destiny, Ring of Pride and Ring of Power) feature Capcom logos everywhere, created to commemorate their own Capcom Pro Tour tournament series. During Capcom Pro Tour events, the stages change the logos used in the background to reflect those of the tournament occurring at the time. |
| 373 | ** Ryu and Chun-Li have hip-hop style DLC costumes that feature Red Bull branding, a sponsor of the Capcom Pro Tour, among other e-sports. There was also a promotional where players could unlock special colors through codes on cans of Red Bull. |
| 374 | * RandomEventsPlot: Abigail's story consists of him freaking out over his missing car, while characters who just happen to be passing by either mistake his noises for rudeness and attack him, insult him so he attacks them, or in the case of Alex fight him for literally no reason. |
| 375 | * RegionalRiff: As with most games in the series, the soundtracks for the various stages in the game often contain musical nods to the countries depicted (and, in many cases, the characters associated with them): |
| 376 | ** The Brazil stage, Hillside Plaza, has a samba-style, upbeat track in the spirit of ''Carnaval do Brasil''. Laura's theme goes in the same direction, but with a more pop-oriented sound, similar to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGov-KH7hkM modern Brazilian pop music.]] |
| 377 | ** The London stage, Union Station, combines rousing classical strings with a zinging, Music/IronMaiden-esque rock guitar and the chimes of Big Ben. Birdie's theme is a post-punk rehash of his ''Alpha'' theme, in the vein of more artsy English punk bands like Music/{{The Damned|Band}} or Music/PublicImageLtd |
| 378 | ** The game's second England stage, English Manor, is a remake of Cammy's classic ''SSFII'' stage and the familiar accompanying score features a medieval-style lute (to complement the castle setting), but also includes nods to England's much more modern punk heritage via a grinding rock guitar. |
| 379 | ** The Kanzuki Estate theme, whilst having a classically orchestral score, also includes the ''shakuhachi'' (Japanese flute) and a thumping baseline provided by ''taiko'' drums. |
| 380 | ** Both the themes for Apprentice Alley (India Stage) and Dhalsim himself primarily feature the prerequisite Indian sitar, though the prominence of guitars alongside the stringed instrument hearkens back to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo2XdfAGMBs "Heat Wind,"]] Dhalsim's theme in the ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX EX]]'' games. |
| 381 | ** Vega's theme is a rearrangement of his original theme on flamenco guitar, like in ''IV'', but slower and somewhat more threatening. |
| 382 | ** As usual, Chun-Li's theme has a very Chinese sound, even more so than the theme for Bustling Side Street (the Chinese stage). |
| 383 | ** Menat's theme (despite the modern rock guitar) sounds inherently "middle eastern" to Western ears due to its use of the double harmonic major scale, also known as the "Arabic" or "Byzantine" scale. |
| 384 | ** Zeku's theme blends jazz with traditional Japanese instruments, reflecting his status as a modern-day Japanese ninja. |
| 385 | * RememberTheNewGuy: |
| 386 | ** Laura is revealed as a sparring buddy of Zangief. |
| 387 | ** Azam, Rashid's servant, is another old friend of Zangief. |
| 388 | ** Rashid himself has a lot of the cast as contacts on his phone. |
| 389 | * RevenueEnhancingDevices: Similar to Compendiums for ''The International'', a portion of the money from purchases of any of the ''Capcom Pro Tour'' DLC go towards each year's ''Capcom Cup'' finals. |
| 390 | * RiseFromYourGrave: The CGI Trailer features a shot of Nash waking up in a stone casket, before tearing the (already cracked) stone lid apart with his bare hands and sitting up. |
| 391 | * RivalFinalBoss: Cinematic Story Mode ends with Shadaloo defeated. However, after the credits there is one last fight, as Ryu and Ken have yet another rematch. |
| 392 | * RobotMe: Mech-Zangief returns as an alternate costume earned through Extra Battle mode, but the mode also introduces Mech-F.A.N.G, Mech-Juri and Mech-Abigail as new costumes. |
| 393 | * RuleOfCool: The downloadable Skies of Honor stage appears to run on this. How else would you qualify fighting ''on top of a jet plane as it flies around Dubai''?! |
| 394 | * SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Multiple characters have received school uniforms as downloadable costumes, including Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash, Cammy, R. Mika, Ibuki, Juri, Ed and Menat. |
| 395 | ** ...and obviously, of course, Sakura Kasugano ''still'' has, as a legacy costume, her school uniform from way back in Street Fighter Alpha 2, [[LampshadeHanging despite the fact it barely fit in]] VideoGame/StreetFighterIV, never mind now! |
| 396 | * SequelHook: The addition of Luke in Season V DLC was all about introducing one of the main characters of ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6''. |
| 397 | * SeriesContinuityError: A very minor one. The tutorial is set at some point prior to ''SFI'', with Ryu and Ken engaging in one of their usual friendly sparring matches after Ryu is defeated by their master Gouken. However, the Uppercut Bros. have the appearances of their ''Alpha'' selves, as evidenced by Ryu's lack of slippers and Ken's ponytail. Furthermore, in what may be a case of HairColorDissonance, Ryu's ''Alpha'' outfit in ''V'' gives him brown hair like in ''II'' instead of the auburn hair he actually had in those games to signify a gradual transition between his ''SFI'' and ''SFII'' designs. |
| 398 | * ShockAndAwe: |
| 399 | ** Ryu's V-Trigger which affects any Hadoken and Shoryuken he performs, notably transforming the Shinku Hadoken into the Denjin Hadoken. |
| 400 | ** This is part of Laura's abilities; her V-Trigger adds extra stun damage to all of her attacks, and even without it, the Thunder Clap and the Inazuma Spin Hold already have electrical properties. It is said that she employs chi-infused static electricity (generated by rubbing her hands on her cornrows). |
| 401 | * ShoutOut: |
| 402 | ** Among Nash's new attacks is the Sonic Scythe, a slashing kick not unlike Rugal Bernstein's Genocide Cutter from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. His Critical Art has the same startup properties of Iori Yagami's Maiden Masher. |
| 403 | ** Chun-Li's Houyokusen Critical Art now does exactly 37 hits, in reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM Evo Moment #37.]] |
| 404 | ** When Cammy does her Hooligan Combination, she says "Allons-y"[[note]]French for "Let's go"[[/note]] just like [[Series/DoctorWho another famous Brit]] in pop culture. |
| 405 | ** R. Mika's [[CounterAttack V-Reversal]] is a [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Stone Cold Stunner]], complete with the gut kick. |
| 406 | ** Ryu's pre-order skin for [=GameStop=] gives him a look who resembles the bearded [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro from the first animated movie]]. |
| 407 | ** One of Laura's colors turns her clothes black, her hair blonde, and her skin pale. Considering her [[ShockAndAwe lightning abilities]], this is very likely based on Trish from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''. |
| 408 | ** The steam locomotive in the background of Union Station appears to be a blue E2-Class 0-6-0T, with a yellow number 5 painted on the sidetanks. Co-incidentally, there's [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends a famous steam engine]] with almost the exact same appearance... |
| 409 | ** In ''A Shadow Falls'' [[spoiler: Bison's death at the hands of Ryu may be similar to Shao Kahn's death in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', as both villains are defeated as their bodies explode in a flash of light, [[DeadHatShot leaving behind only their signature cap or mask]].]] |
| 410 | ** Numerous costume colors for the characters act as shout-outs, with the CFN website pointing a lot of them out: |
| 411 | *** Chun-Li's Battle Outfit 1 color 14 resembles [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]]. |
| 412 | *** Cammy's Battle Outfit 1 color 15 resembles [[ComicBook/XMen Cyclops]], referencing the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series. |
| 413 | *** Birdie's Battle Outfit 1 is similar to an [[http://www.fmspiritoffire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Freddie.png outfit]] worn by [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]]. |
| 414 | *** Ken's Battle Outfit 1 color 15 resembles [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank West]]. |
| 415 | *** R. Mika's Story Costume color 14 resembles [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]. |
| 416 | *** Rashid's Battle Outfit 1 resembles WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}. |
| 417 | *** Karin's Story Costume color 2 and Ibuki's Story Costume color 15 both resemble [[VideoGame/MegaMan Roll]]. |
| 418 | *** Zangief's Battle Outfit 1 is reminiscent of Wrestling/RandySavage, and color 12 resembles Wrestling/HulkHogan. |
| 419 | *** Laura's Default costume color 15 resembles [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Trish]]. |
| 420 | *** Menat's Battle Outfit 1 color 13 resembles [[Film/TheFifthElement Leloo]]. |
| 421 | *** Cody has several costume colors resembling characters from ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', including his Default costume colors 11, 12 and 13 and his Battle Outfit colors 11, 13 and 14. Cody's Battle Outfit color 8 also resembles the [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]]. |
| 422 | * SidelinedProtagonistCrossover: This game features characters from ''Final Fight'' and Akira Kazama from ''Rival Schools'' as playable characters, but neither Guy nor Batsu. Downplayed with the former since it at least has the co-star, Cody. |
| 423 | * SkillGateCharacters: |
| 424 | ** As always, Ryu holds this position. As the staple {{Shoto|clone}} that fighting game players are familiar with, he can help them get used to the game's mechanics. |
| 425 | ** Necalli is a simple character whose tools are easy for a player to grasp. His V-Skill is simply a ground-based "projectile." His V-Trigger lasts an entire round and upgrades his entire moveset. His moves and combos are also very simple, but require a moderate amount of practice to get down. |
| 426 | ** R. Mika is the simplest grappler in the game. Her throws are either hit-throws or only require a half-circle rather than a full 360. Her V-Skill is simple and her V-Trigger allows her to summon an AssistCharacter for a sneak attack. Even her Critical Art super command grab only has a double quarter-circle input. Despite this (or because of it), she became the most feared character in the early months of the game's release. |
| 427 | ** According to the developers, Rashid was designed to be this. He is well-balanced and has moves that are easy to learn (none of them even have the Shoryuken motion, for instance), plus his particular dash mechanics allow for command inputs to certain moves. Also, he has two different V-Skills (one of which is performed while he is crouched), and both can be followed up with other moves. |
| 428 | * SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: |
| 429 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtIVKDplsSI A general tutorial]] is implemented when Ryu recalls his younger days under Gouken's tutelage, Ryu requesting a sparring session with his partner Ken to review the basics and to reflect on what Gouken just told Ryu that he was lacking. |
| 430 | ** One of Bison's Character Story fights is the fight that originally ended with him recruiting F.A.N.G. As this was before the latter was recruited, in place of the statue that normally bears his likeness is a statue of Sagat. Also, when fighting F.A.N.G in Bison's story, which takes place before his recruitment, his defeated quote of "MY LORD BISON!", is replaced by a generic scream. |
| 431 | * SNKBoss: For a limited time, players can fight [[VideoGame/MarvelVSCapcom Shadow Lady]], who fights like she's in that game rather than in a ''Street Fighter V'' game. |
| 432 | * SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: The trope returns after the ''Alpha'' series got rid of it. When any of the fighters is close to losing, the BGM becomes faster-paced and more frantic until it stops at the end of the round. Only applies to stage themes, however; character themes (heard when playing Survival) just get cut altogether when the fight ends. |
| 433 | * StageFatality: More humiliation than Fatality, but on some stages a special cinematic occurs if someone is knocked out at the edge. For example, in the Bustling Side Street stage, you're knocked through a restaurant on the left and taken off in a bus on the right. |
| 434 | * TheStinger: [[spoiler:Gill appears during the credits, setting up the events of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII''. Ryu and Ken also have a sparring match following the credits.]] |
| 435 | * SuckingInLines: The world map in the background of the Character Select screen does this just before the battle starts. Bright lines all begin to converge and get sucked into whatever spot of the world the selected stage is located in. |
| 436 | * SuperMode: The new "V-Trigger" system works like this for some characters, imbuing them with unique properties once the gauge is full (Ryu's Hadoken and Shoryuken attacks become electrified, Chun-Li's basic attacks can add extra hits, etc.), or in certain cases a utility move, such as Nash's [[FlashStep teleport.]] |
| 437 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: In the 16 Launch Characters trailer and CGI Intro, Ryu is shown tapping into the Satsui no Hado when fighting Necalli. Ryu's Story Mode has him struggle ([[HistoryRepeats for a]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha third]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV time]]) to suppress the influence of the Satsui no Hado or find a way to use it for good, with Evil Ryu -- who is reverted to his ''Street Fighter Alpha'' appearance -- acting as an EnemyWithin. |
| 438 | * SuperSpecialMove: Luke's Thermobaric Thrasher is the boosted version of Rock Smasher, a RapidFireFisticuffs type of move that fires a series of Sand Blasters in rapid succession. |
| 439 | * TheTag: [[spoiler:Gill is revealed at the end of the story, having watched all the events unfold through the butterfly manifested by his powers, possibly lending a hand to Nash's given Illuminati powers as well; Gill expected and bet on Bison's defeat to further the plans he has for ''Street Fighter III'', and the woman who presented herself as Helen was actually Kolin, Gill's trusty secretary.]] |
| 440 | * TagTeam: R. Mika will occasionally summon Nadeshiko, her tag team partner, to bring the pain. |
| 441 | * TemporaryOnlineContent: |
| 442 | ** ''Arcade Edition'' has Event Battles, which are special fights that are only available for a limited time. They cost Fight Money to try, and winning can earn you things like experience, titles, or even special costumes. |
| 443 | ** Red Bull ''Street Fighter 30th Anniversary'' limited edition cans could be redeemed from November 2017 to April 2018 for Red Bull themed costumes exclusive to the Platform/PlayStation4 version. |
| 444 | ** Several stages that represent the real-life Capcom Cup tournaments were available, all of which fit the naming convention "Ring of X". |
| 445 | * TheThunderdome: Two story-related ones and several ones representing the real-life Capcom Cup tournaments were created. This makes sense since this game represents Shadaloo's last overt attempt to TakeOverTheWorld and the fighters' response to this including LaResistance that Karin organized, and did not involve an in-game tournament at all. |
| 446 | ** Only two that fit in the story were made for this game: the Underground Arena and Flamenco Tavern. |
| 447 | *** The Underground Arena is an arena that is built out of metal. It has an audience area. It is Zangief's HomeStage, and he needs an arena as a professional wrestler. |
| 448 | *** Flamenco Tavern is a remake of Fighting Barroom from VideoGame/StreetFighterII, which was Vega's HomeStage in that game. Vega has these, having these to show off his fighting to an audience in a background due to him being TheFightingNarcissist. Due to giving Vega an unfair advantage due to having a fence that Vega can climb in fights, it is banned in tournaments. |
| 449 | ** Several that use the naming convention "Ring of X" were created to represent the real-life Capcom Cup tournament were created. They obviously do not fit within this game's story. These are all TemporaryOnlineContent. |
| 450 | * TimePassageBeard: Dhalsim has grown an impressive white beard in the time since ''IV'', which was probably to be expected, Dhalsim (b. 1952) being the oldest of the World Warriors. Ryu gains one in his alternate costume. |
| 451 | * TorosYFlamenco: Vega's NostalgiaLevel, ''Flamenco Tavern'' is a perfect example, being set in a Spanish taverna complete with female flamenco dancers, guitar players in cordobe hats and a huge mural of a bullfight in the background. |
| 452 | * TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Used a lot in the Cinematic Story mode. Characters just go from country to country as if they were going around a small neighborhood, and they appear at the exact time some commotion is happening almost uninterrupted. This is taken to ridiculous levels when Juri somehow takes Cammy and Decapre from Brazil to England ''on a motorcycle''. |
| 453 | * VersusCharacterSplash: Naturally, it returns in the game that [[TropeCodifier codified it]]. Only this time, it also doubles as the character select screen. |
| 454 | * WearingAFlagOnYourHead: |
| 455 | ** A subtle variation; the slipstream effect that accompanies certain special moves is colored with the red, white and blue of the ''Union Flag'' for Cammy, and with the red and gold of ''la Rojigualda'' for Vega, in tribute to the colors of both characters' national flags. Curiously, for Falke (who speaks German and has a movelist written in German) the effect is coloured with the black, red and gold of the ''Bundesflagge und Handelsflagge'', implying her to be German, though this is never confirmed in her bio. |
| 456 | ** Laura, a native of Brazil, has a variant of this; she wears a green and yellow ensemble, with the blue vapor trail seen in her Critical Art completing the colors of her national flag, the ''Auriverde''. |
| 457 | ** Abigail's hair, when viewed from the top, is shaved into the shape of the Canadian maple leaf. |
| 458 | * WhamLine: Rose's story has her encounter G and get a glimpse into a future that's apparently cataclysmic. After she rest from the encounter, she notes that, if she can't save the world in the future, she needs to do so in the past. |
| 459 | * WholeCostumeReference: There are a number of costumes in the game in which the fighters basically {{cosplay}} as characters from other Capcom games. Most of these are prizes earned in Extra Batte mode, but some are available for standard purchase in the shop. Examples include: |
| 460 | ** ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': Kage as Asura. |

| 470 | ** ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'': Ryu as Arthur and M. Bison as Astaroth. |
| 471 | ** ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'': Cammy as Fiona. |
| 472 | ** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'': Zangief as Mech-Zangief, Akuma as Cyber-Akuma and Rose as Ruby Heart. |
| 473 | ** ''VideoGame/MegaMan'': Ryu as [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]], Sakura as [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Roll Caskett]], Rashid as [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Air Man]] and Balrog as [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Guts Man]]. |
| 474 | ** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': Ken in Rathalos armor, R. Mika in Zinogre armor, Ibuki in Kirin armor and Blanka as a Nergigante. |
| 475 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'': Ibuki as Akane Yagyu. |
| 476 | ** ''VideoGame/RedEarth'': Alex as Leo and Zeku as Kenji. |
| 477 | ** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'': Cammy as Jill, Urien as Wesker and Kolin as Ada. |
| 478 | ** ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'': Chun-Li as June Lin Milliam. |
| 479 | ** ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'': Rashid as the titular Viewitful Joe. |
| 480 | * WokFu: Part of the first unveiled stage takes place in this. As an added bonus, fighters can be knocked into the kitchen and have a bowl of noodles stuck to their heads. |
