The video examines the progression and improvements of "Street Fighter 5" since its challenging launch in early 2016. Initial issues included bugs and a lack of content, but solid core gameplay contributed to decent sales. Over subsequent years, Capcom released multiple updates and patches that enhanced the game’s balance and complexity. The Championship Edition provides extensive additional content, such as costumes, modes, stages, and new characters like Gil and Seth, transforming it into a more complete experience.
Despite improvements, criticism remains regarding the fluctuating difficulty levels and the shallow, uninnovative game modes compared to competitors like Mortal Kombat and Tekken 7. While online play has improved, it still falls short of these standards. The review appreciates aspects such as fast animations, vibrant character designs, and the ability to play older game structures with updated graphics but points out occasional framerate drops and lackluster dialogue visuals. The Championship Edition is considered a worthwhile update for both fans and newcomers, provided they manage their expectations about the game's limitations.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses the fluctuating difficulty levels in Street Fighter 5, noting that it can suddenly become very challenging, which might surprise newcomers. Despite this, core elements like fast animations, a colorful cast, and bonus stages remain strong. The ability to play older game structures with updated graphics is highlighted as a positive aspect. While the game has a mixed reputation, many bugs have been fixed, although occasional framerate drops still occur. Some pre-and post-fight dialogue visuals are criticized for their lack of polish. The reviewer points out that many game modes are shallow and lack innovation, unlike those in Mortal Kombat.
