There's plenty we already know about Street Fighter V thanks to the several beta testing phases which have been held in the past months, but there's also much we don't know, especially regarding single player content. Earlier today the game's first review has surfaced online, revealing more details on the highly anticipated game by Capcom.
The Japanese magazine Famitsu has reviewed Street Fighter V in its latest issue. The magazine gave the game a total score of 35/40, with the four reviewers awarding the game a 10,8,8,9. Famitsu reviewers have praised the game's easy controls and V-Trigger mechanic but have also noted the lack of single player content.

SFV Famitsu review (2/3)
-V Triggers help giving chara individualities & easy to know decisive points
-Single player contents not enough— 黒凧 BlackKite (@bk2128) February 9, 2016
One of the reviewers also sees the simple system controls as something not entirely positive, as fights between experts might not be a show of skills.
