I wish your comment was true but It has been a month and a half and it still hasn't broken under 50 for the standard anywhere. The CE is just pure fluff anyway considering it doesn't even come with the season pass. It's insane the value is still so high considering how hard it bombed selling less than Naruto in February NPD.
Is this game really that bad?
Considering it was hard to practice against anything other than training mode cpu, other features are indeed needed. I'm playing and training for tournaments, but it's hard without humans. Hopefully today changes that some.
The description is vague 
Not surprising, the game is trash, or rather Capcom left it in a pathetic state for over a month before even attempting to fix it's issues.
You should wait until they fix matchmaking. It takes 2-5 minutes to find a match on average and the loading times are hell. A lot of teleporting from rollback/bad server code during online matches needs to be fixed as well, and there is no penalty for ragequitting...
It was most likely launched early for competitive players to start practicing for competitions coming up soon. The features missing are more for casual players or newer players. They drive the game sales at launch, so with those features missing the game did not sell well. Competitive players will keep the game alive for at least a few years, but Capcom missed an opportunity to make much more money at launch. Maybe they could have kept having more betas, but have them actually be the full game instead of launching the game without the casual features.Indarkened said:

Im pretty sure in 6 months we will see a new version with all the DLC included.
Naruto was released on both the One and PS4. Not to mention, it was released almost two weeks before Street Fighter V.
I'm surprised gamers haven't learned yet. I'd say only about 5 percent of the CEs are ever actually rare.
Lack of practice mode? It has training mode with replay recording and trials (although they are pretty useless). It doesn't take very long if you want to unlock alex. Each "story mode" takes like 10 mins at most and are ridiculously easy. Even a child could beat them. Beat 10 of them and you get alex.
I was actually referring to just the PS4 version which was incorrectly reported the first night of NPD that Naruto had sold more than SF5 on PS4 alone. Whodoneit was nice enough to link the corrected article showing that SF5 did narrowly beat Naruto the first month which I hadn't seen. Even so that is a horrendous showing for a (previously) major franchise and reflects poorly since Naruto had its sales split across an extra platform and still almost beat SF5 even when considering Naruto's head start.
The problem is knowing what will be rare. This is still here and cheaper but when it came to SFIV's I couldn't find it till a nice person posted amazon got more. I was screwed out my pre order till that person helped.
We don't (shouldn't) buy it because it's rare, we buy it because it's nifty. I don't regret my MKX CE, the statue was worth it to me.
Thats the way its supposed to be. Its a collectors edition which never implies that it is rare. If there is a small production run of a game, then it most likely would be called a limited edition, but even then some of those can be had easily as well and arent as limited as one is led to believe. Buy for the game itself and not for rarity.
