Many of you may have found that examining your fist online in Street Fighter V was virtually impossible last night. The game's servers could be described as flaky at best, but the biggest problem was matchmaking with other players. We tried for about three hours, but couldn't get into a single game. Fortunately, at the time of typing, things have been fixed.
We've just booted up the title and got into three matches in a row; for those curious, we won one and lost two. Yeah, it seems like we need a lot of practice yet. If things remain like this, then your humble host can only echo the comments made in our review – the netcode is sublime when things work. We encountered zero perceivable lag during our tests this morning.
This is all good news, of course, because without online play, Street Fighter V is a bit of a shell. Slather it on top of the scant single player options, though, and it becomes something much more enjoyable – the fighting here really is top drawer. Have you had better luck with Capcom's latest this morning? Kick us like Cammy in the comments section below.

I'll wait on this for a bit and come back, the 4-7 minute long story modes were the deal breaker, along with survival being OK but not enough.
Capcom, smh. I've never seen such a bare bones fighter post 2000 to be honest. Presentation and game play are great however, I just expect more.
Was on this morning. Had no problems online. Defo need to practice though.
Been on since first thing this morning & everything is fine, in fact it logged-in a lot faster than yesterday.
@sub12 Those two things will keep me busy for a while, much like Splatoon, the updates are coming for free. Albeit I do agree on the lack of a arcade mode is poor, but the continuous updates will keep the game fresh, AS LONG as ALL the DLC is attainable through the in-game currency and all gameplay updates are Free, which seems to be happening. I'm sure Capcom will add an arcade mode next month due to the demand.
Flawless like Karin?
Hopefully this doesn't become a major problem. Otherwise SFV will have been the most disappointing fighter in recent memory.
last night was BAD!!! I got 4 fights in 3 hours!!!
I need the practice time as I have a round two of a national street fighter v tournament to play on Saturday this week to qualify for Insomnia 57!!!!!
