SF 5 currently has no penalty for rage quitters either.
Since servers are sketchy, no Arcade mode against the CPU means you have to play other modes, like Story or Survival.

Have Capcom shot themselves in the foot with Street Fighter V?
February 21, 2016 TheReviewSpace
This past week saw the release of the much anticipated Street Fighter V on both PS4 and also PC. The reviews so far for it have been excellent, but the game itself isn’t without its faults.
Granted, the server issue in that people cannot join an online game is one which can easily be fixed and it will be one that will be getting updated regularly. However, unlike the previous iteration of the franchise, there is now no longer a penalty for those that ragequit out of the game.
This seems rather off, and for a game that has been in the works for years this is something which should have been one of the most basic aspects of the online multiplayer. Even Nintendo (who many criticise for their somewhat backwards approach to online gaming) have a system in place with their games in that if you ragequit it has a negative impact on your rankings.

Both issues mentioned above can be easily fixed with a patch update. However what cannot be easily fixed is the complete lack of an arcade mode within the game. For a game that has a strong emphasis on its arcade roots, it seems odd that they didn’t include this game mode in the final build. Instead, players are given a much more simplistic story mode (I’m pretty terrible at Street Fighter and even I got through it with more than a few characters without breaking a sweat). To me this is a major slap in the face.
Capcom have been keen to point out that there will not be
Hyper, Turbo or
Super iteration of the game, and that’s fair enough, but don’t omit one of the biggest parts of the franchise. They have suggested that they may look into making an arcade mode, but for the people that have forked out £45 for the game on Steam (and on the Playstation 4), it is leaving many with a bitter taste in their mouths.
Usually if there were issues with the servers you could jump into a challenging arcade mode as shown in SF4. In this case though that just isn’t possible and until such time it gets fixed people won’t have much to do with the game.
I do believe that Capcom will address these issues, especially the online complaints and there is word that it has already improved immensely. However during this transition, it might actually be cheaper to buy the game elsewhere away from Steam such as on
Kinguin.
