Shoryuken writes:"Earlier tonight, unconfirmed reports (not trying to pick on Joe, the original article is down!) began to surface regarding leaked Street Fighter V information, stating characters such as Alex, Urien, Abel, and C. Viper are scheduled to return alongside two newcomers. There was quite a bit of information on these debuting cast members, one being M. Bison’s right-hand man and the other a young woman pursuing her mother’s kidnapper, but we won’t get into too many details because, unfortunately, it’s all untrue."
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've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.
SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.
Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.
So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.
Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.
SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.
Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.
It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about 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.

Heh well don't those ppl on that article feel salty -_- told em
Edit: @ashen122 bout to? He did!! Lol
Why gotta lie? I feel like uuuuuultraaaaa combooooo somebody
Even if that was not true, I hope Capcom understands, that type of roster being small as it is and missing characters is a bad move reputably. Gotta be at least 20 characters.
MUST HAVES & PROBABLY THE MOST NOSTALGICALLY POPULAR
1. Ryu
2. Ken
3. Chunli
4. Guile
5. Akuma
6. M Bison
7. Charlie
8. Cammy
9. Sakura
10. ZangieF
11. Sagat
VERY POPULAR NEW CHARACTERS IN COMPETITIVE PLAY
12. Rufus
13. C. Viper
SHAPE OF REMAINING ROSTER
14. New Character
15. New Character
16. New Character
17. Unknown Return Character(probably Alex)
18. Unknown Return Character
19. Unknown Surprise Return Character
20. Unknown Surprise Return Character
The rest could be DLC,
Balrog was very popular
And This list is being kind to Capcom actually at this point, to restore their reputation to the fans they should go all out, but I'm being fair businesswise.
I'm gonna take a screenshot of this, and anyone who disagrees with me, and let's see what happens if Capcom releases a small Roster with missing characters, and the amount of Backlash it gets, so we can see who was right.
