Street Fighter V finally gets the story Capcom promised

If you walk up and tell me that narrative is the most important part of Street Fighter, I won’t be able to control the violent spray of spittle flinging from my lips as I make the most condescending raspberry known to humankind. Yet Capcom painted itself into a corner when it showed footage of an involved 3D animated narrative mode for Street Fighter V, and wound up releasing, well … awkward illustration theater instead.

The story mode the publisher delivered, when placed under the most flattering of lights and viewed with the rosiest of glasses, looked rushed at best.
