Back with Button Mashers this week, Hi3i discusses the direction for Capcom and Street Fighter V. Have a look at the video below and leave your comments on where Street Fighter V might be headed and how it will effect the series.
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.

Woot new Button Mashers!
It's definitely to early to tell how the actual game play may be and unfair to base how it's going to be off trailers made to showcase certain moves of characters. Until they release a full on match highlighting how the combat is going to be all we can do is look at these videos and be hyped about certain characters and the kind of moves they can do.
I hope they don't screw this up. My fellow PS4 gamers have had more than their fair share of high profile games that fell way short. Established franchises like this and in X1's case Tomb Raider, are supposed to be know quantities as far as expecting a quality product at the end. But if the developers do not go in with a well conceived plan, and instead just focus on getting something out there quickly to make some money, the games can easily fall short.
I don't think capcom would turn SF5 in to a game for the casual(button mashing) b/c they would probably lose the hardcore players whom have made SF a popular franchise.
Remember, capcom doesn't do much marketing for their games so they're going to need to keep the same support system(players) to make the next installment of SF a hit.
One things I have noticed... SF feeds off of good players to be successful in the gaming industry. Lose the players and surely they will lose the popularity, at least hardcore ones.
This is the only game in Capcom's portfolio that I know they won't screw up. Not worried at all.
