Over the weekend, pro gamers Daigo Umehara and GamerBee put Street Fighter 5 through its paces. According to some, its leisurely paces. Cue the unhappy folks.
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!!
It did seem pretty slow in the recent demonstrations.
It needs to be as fast as SF2, with the input latency of SF4, and it needs balance but no SF ever had that yet. Hopefully metagame takes priority over combos this time around and defense is as viable as offense. I'm tired of rushdowns, half your life in a single combo with stun gone in an instant, and abusable moves. Also I don't know why SF4 had such stringent combo timing, that was ridiculous.
SFV is looking good to me so far. Honestly I just want a Super Street Fighter II Turbo 4K Remix for PS4 or a full remake in SFV's engine.
