Jonathan White of KnowTechie could complain about this game all day, because in truth it’s so mind-blowing that Capcom would drop the ball this hard on their cornerstone franchise.
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.

By Jason Monroe: Join me as I rank the best Street Fighter games of all time, taking into account their impact on the genre, gameplay mechanics, character rosters, and overall fun factor. Let’s get into it…
Round One: FIGHT!!
I had been reading that the game was rushed to make the pro tour. A better thing for Capcom to have done was make the version for the Pro tour but continue to work on the retail release to be done either later in April or June.
But the way that it is leaves the door wide open for them to re-release it later in the year as a super or ultra edition.
Everyone seems to forget its street fighter. Expect half a dozen revisions in the next couple years. 4 was deeply hated on launch.
Over Dramatic Battle is Over Dramatic.
Bison wins.
Give it a rest and go play the kardashian game!
I don't see what the problem is, fans have been asking for a new Alpha game for years now and we got the next best thing, a SF game in Alpha!
