Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.
Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.
SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.
SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.
I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.

Round One: FIGHT!!
Makes sense to me...
I wonder why the author is so angry? If he owns all consoles as he mentioned in the article, he can simply buy the game on the platform it is available for or just sit it out.
I have to wait one year for the next Tomb Raider. I waited for Fallout 3 DLC and even more for Mass Effect. And if they don't release it on my platform of choice (PS4) I simply play it on the XBOX.
I would understand the frustration of someone who does not have the money to buy a new console to play the game or is a die hard fan of the franchise. But just let us wait and see. Maybe it is just a timed exclusive like TR or exclusive to Japan like many games are already.
