What's in it

Spending real-money purchases
High

An in-game store sells additional characters, alternate costumes, and stages that can be bought with real money or with grind-earned Fight Money.

Violence cartoon/stylized
Low

Stylized one-on-one martial-arts combat between human fighters using punches, kicks, throws, and energy-projectile special moves; opponents are knocked out with impact effects but there is no blood or gore.

Nudity revealing/suggestive attire
Low

Several fighters wear revealing attire such as leotards and swimsuit-style costumes; no actual nudity is shown.

Sexual content suggestive
Low

A handful of characters have suggestive designs and taunts, most notably R. Mika's cheek-slap intro pose, but nothing beyond mild innuendo.

Spending pressure optional
Low

Extra characters and costumes are sold as optional paid content, though they can also be earned with in-game currency over time.

What it is

Street Fighter V is a competitive one-on-one fighting game where two characters from an international roster face off in best-of-three martial-arts matches, online against other players or offline against friends or the computer. Combat is stylized and bloodless: fighters trade punches, kicks, throws, and signature energy attacks like fireballs and rising uppercuts until one is knocked out. A few characters wear revealing outfits or strike suggestive poses, but there is no sexual content, gore, or strong language. Additional characters, costumes, and stages are sold in a store for real money or unlocked slowly by grinding an in-game currency.

How it's framed

The game frames its fighting purely as sport-style competition between skilled martial artists, with a light story pitting the heroes against a criminal organization; violence is a contest to be won rather than something cruel or graphic, and there is no reward for harming anyone outside the ring.
