"The first thing that got my attention was that this game was faster than Street Fighter IV. SFIV had a certain sluggish feeling to it, and while SFV has a bit of this as well, it isn’t as immediately noticeable and it certainly doesn’t hurt the game in any way. The other things that stood out was that the camera is slightly pulled back; making the characters appear smaller on screen. This is actually something I appreciated as I felt the characters in SFIV were too big. As far as presentation goes, this felt like the SF games of old and I loved that."
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.
