Not working
iPad Pro 12.9 M1 iOS26. Can’t get past the Terms of Service screen. The confirmation button is off-screen. Refund. Maybe next time.
★★★★ eggimage 9/21/2025 v1.08.02
glaring issues still not fixed
this literally takes *less than one minute* of gameplay to spot the problem. several months ago an update broke the game and it’s still not fixed. at round start & end of round, the virtual control glitches out and it’s impossible to keep holding any button, meaning any charge character cannot start charging before the timer begins. it had always worked fine since the very first version of mobile sf4 back in like 2011, and it’s now broken and kept unfixed for no reason. just what 3rd rated team did capcom hire to manage their games
★★★★ sjm1009 7/19/2025 v1.08.01
What…
I really paid $5 for unacceptable lag…
★★★★ Omarokx 7/11/2025 v1.08.01
Latest update is HORRENDOUS
As an old time player ever since the Volt version. I can say this is the worst “update” ever. The bugs are frustrating and game wrecking. Charge moves characters cannot even charge their moves before the round begins because the directions pad won’t stick in place until the match starts. The app launching time takes forever. And the WORST of all. You cannot even play this game without an internet connection anymore. It keeps demanding you to sign in to Game Center in order to proceed. I have completely stopped playing this game since the update. An absolute garbage DOWNGRADE. Fix this ASAP please.

Needs internet connection to play
Why do we need internet connection for solo gaming?
★★★★ antipsychic 4/23/2025 v1.08.01

★★★★ Nemesis1031 4/19/2025 v1.08.00
Best Game Ever
Honestly one of the best games out there, but with the latest update connection has been rough. Can’t really play anymore, and the good players get punished because of bad connection and people quitting.
★★★★ Hyper jooh 4/7/2025 v1.08.00
BOO CAPCOM
I’ve had every copy of street fighter on iOS and this is by far the buddiest and worst one not to mention it’s completely unusable on iPad os ….but yeahhh wonder why they have a Netflix one too.
★★★★ gjfhtf 3/28/2025 v1.08.00

Update a week ago was aweful
Wow… this new update made the game very slow, unplayable, and laggy. Not sure what developers did but it’s not the same. The loading screen takes forever and finding players to play with takes FOREVERRRR. I play this everyday but not anymore…
★★★★ llcooljayyo 2/28/2025 v1.08.00
Recent update ruined the game
I’ve been a longtime Street Fighter mobile player, but the latest iOS update has completely ruined the experience. Frequent disconnections in free and ranked matches make the game unplayable, and overall performance feels sluggish and glitchy. The long black screen delay after every match is frustrating, and the new font size is hard to read.
On top of that, removing the ability to comment on walls and replies has hurt the community aspect of the game. This update has also encouraged more rage quitters, making competitive play even worse.
This update is disappointing and needs urgent fixes. If these issues aren’t addressed soon, many of us will be forced to leave the game. This game went from 5 stars to 1 star after the update.
★★★★ Photahnics 2/28/2025 v1.08.00
Latest update ruined online connection stability
This last update or a better term to call it would be a downgrade. A lot of matches end after the first round and left to play with NPC. Strangely some matches will have no lag but then the next match it will disconnect during one of the rounds. Some transparency would be nice from developers about what’s currently happening

There needs to be a new street fighter
This is the only one with controller support and the frames per second is crawling on modern hardware. It’s just the game engine. When are we gonna see a modern street fighter run on a modern iOS device?

★★★★★ JoeyFN661 2/26/2025 v1.08.00
Online issues/Lag
Ever since the 2025 update this has made The IOS version Seem like Android Version with Online. There’s way too much Lag and Lag in between rounds. Please Fix this because it doesn’t feel the same online then it did last month.
