"Overly complicated points and levelling system, a lack of character diversity, locked modes, poorly designed UI, massive lag and server issues, and a very small leap forward in graphics and gameplay features makes this the least interesting Street Fighter game in ages."
Seif from Gameondaily reviews Street Fighter 5
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!!
Yikes! Can't help but wonder if Capcom just would have took their time with the game and not excepted Sony's money(!!) to push it out quickly on the PS4, would it have been a more complete/finished product at launch.
Don't forget the grab spammers when you try to play online😡
Ps4 version here, the lag makes the game unplayable, i regret buying the game, Capcom fooled me one more time.
I've only had one match with lag and I've played easily over 100 matches since release.
