The Tutorial mode was created with beginner "Street Fighter" players in mind. In this mode, players will take control of Ryu to learn the basics of combat and the game's control methods.
Character Story Mode
Those wanting to know the story behind the 16 characters in the game can do so through the Character Story Mode. This mode was announced last week, along with the game's cinematic story expansion.
The Story Mode will delve deeper into each character's reason for fighting. It will also show how each character is connected to the others.
Players who can clear each character's episode will unlock their story costume, making it available in the Shop for purchase. The special costume can be bought with "Street Fighter V's" in-game currency called Fight Money.
Survival Mode
"Street Fighter V" will also come with a Survival Mode for players who want to put their skills to the test by fighting as many opponents as they can. Survival Mode also has extra battle features that allow players to boost their EX Gauge and score. Clearing this mode will grant players new costume colors based on their level.
Training Mode
Whereas the Tutorial Mode is an introduction to the mechanics of the game, the Training Mode provides veteran and newbie players alike with an avenue to practice and hone their skills and techniques. This mode offers players shortcut commands so they can practice combos, too.
Network Battle
This is a multiplayer mode that's available in two types. The first one, Ranked Match, caters to the more competitive "Street Fighter V" players. Ranked Match allows them to fight other players to gain online ranking points. The other one is for casual players who want to play without the pressure of winning.
Capcom Fighters Network
Finally, there's the Capcom Fighters Network. This mode allows players to connect with each other and grants access to a global heat map so they can see who's online. Players can also search for rivals and keep updated with their stats and view replays of fights to aid them in creating a winning strategy in their next fight.
In addition to these six modes already revealed, Capcom has also stated that more modes and features will be added to the game for free after "Street Fighter V" releases on Feb. 16.
