Street Fighter 5: 10 Essential Tips All New Players Need To Know

10. Complete The Single Player Mode Before Anything Else

Street Fighter V's single player mode currently, is extremely short. So much so, that you can complete the story mode of all 16 characters in under an hour. The most fights you will encounter is 4 in a single story, and the AI barely puts up much of a fight. This is the perfect opportunity to get to grips with the very basics of the game, and because the AI lacks any real punch, you can spend some time learning your special moves, basic combos and practicing how to chain some moves together. The real advantage of completing the single player mode now however, is the fight money you gain. You will level up extremely quickly, gaining thousands of fight coins which will be used to buy DLC once it's released. On top of that, the higher the player level you are at, the more points you gain for victories once you finally take the plunge into online mode. Spending some time in single player levelling up now, will pay dividends in the long run.
