Digital Foundry:
Street Fighter V's beta has been plagued with connectivity issues - particularly outside of the USA, but we did manage to grab a few hours of relatively trouble-free online gameplay last week. There's still a long while to go until the game's out in March 2016, but this analysis gives some idea of how Capcom's next key fighting game is shaping up in the here and now.
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!!
sf5 wil be off the chain.. best fighting game, even though I'm not that nice
Seems very solid.
This is old. Now that the beta is fully up and officially running there are no connectivity issues. Log in and out as you please. Connections are great besides the occasional wifi players. I had a virtually lag free match with a Japanese player and that says a lot. I have reached Beta Grandmaster rank and am loving every minute of it. People that try to play like its SF IV are getting bodied. Game fixes so many problems from so many street fighters. My only hope is that they add a second CA at some point. A second V skill would be cool too. That way you could select them during character select. I just think some characters will get a lot more mileage from their V skills than others.
