The Best Fighting Games on PS4
3. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
Back in 2015, Capcom released the barebones skeleton of a good fighting game. Solid technical mechanics were practically the only feature Street Fighter V had to its name. Many players were turned off because of this and adopted indifference for the fighter’s beginning lifetime.
But everything changed with the release of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition back in 2016. Adding new offline arcade modes, new characters, and a slick new UI, Street Fighter V re-took its rightful place among the fighting game elite. For the first time, Street Fighter V showed a glimmer of hope for fans tired of the fourth installment’s re-releases.
Two years after the Arcade Edition’s release, Street Fighter’s community of players seems stronger than ever. With one of the most lucrative competitive scenes available, Street Fighter V players experience thrilling skill-based adrenaline rushes. Without a shadow of a doubt, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition remains a fitting fighting game for the modern era.
A fair warning though – Street Fighter V’s complicated technical moveset may put casual fighting game fans off more than other titles. But for those willing to master its deep combo system, however, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will provide a worthy experience.
