Yeeeeeah, the story mode in SCV was incredibly disappointing. I would've been much more satisfied if they just gave us rival fights and arcade endings like the good ol' days.
It doesn't help that there's nothing else in the game to convey story or explain, well, anything.
I can forgive Namco for this, I think, since they focused more on great gameplay and a fantastic netcode.
