What went wrong?

Shit neutral and shit cast, just like 3s.

Not enough emphasis on Chun-Li's thighs.

>>376799669
Took too many steps appealing to the esports crowd with casual ideas, but nothing casuals actually like, resulting in a very meh game that left very few people happy.

Unless the coming seasons REALLY pull a 180 fast, 5 will probably be a bigger, but still sour, footnote right next to SFxT in "good idea, TERRIBLE execution.

>>376799669
They changed the fundamentals of SF to make most of the game take place in throw range, which creates a scramble and makes things more random.
The neutral is now an avoidable obstacle to get into that range, as AA are bad and you can't react to dashes.

So the gameplay isn't SF at all, but with SF characters. This alienated a large amount of old school players.

The casual fans got alienated by absolutely zero(0) content on launch. And when they added content later, it was shitty and too late. The UI is awful, netcode is the worst among modern fighters, it's still not in the state it should have been released in yadda yadda.
They really shit the bed.

I don't think so. By removing invincible reversals they really doubled down on their gameplay design in S2. Buffing certain characters showed they only want to "create hype" for stream viewers.

I feel sorry for anyone still playing this game.

Still no arcade mode

That's a shame, because I really wanted to like it more, it's the first fucking time we've had karin in ages, but I'm just not enjoying the game enough.

>>376801275
This.
The replacement survival mode is poorly designed because it takes 20 minutes to get to rounds where the cpu's actually put up a fight but if you lose you have to start over.
Why no arcade mode with selectable difficulty like SF4?

>Huge amounts input lag
>Constant fps loss on ps4 and high end PC's
>Random input drops
>Dumbed down mechanics

Probably a lot more

>make everyone play like Cody and Dudley with even less range

>>376800225
This guy knows what's up. Bring on tekken.

>>376802465
>Tekken shill so fucing desperate they invade other threads like a fucking malignant cancer
GTFO no one cares about that trash, tekken is a shit game with zero depth or complexity, every single one of SFV problems are tenfold in tekken.

why can guilty gear have arcade rooms as lobbies where multiple people can play at the same time and in sf, the so called fg flagship title, i still have to wait an eternity if i join an 8 man lobby.

in a just world, games that have as much love poured into them as guilty gear does would be million sellers

>make free to play game
>sell it for 60$
that's what went wrong.

>>376799669
Ed came too late, in fact he's not even here now

SF V might be the most thrown away potential for the sf franchise ever. the marketing with the #riseup shit was actually on point and got a lot of people talking and hyped. this game could have been really big, but they shit the bed. sucks, but thats what i have come to expect from capcom

Nothing
Ed saved SFV.

>pay full price to get into beta
>game is back in beta

Never ever again

when's the tibet stage going for sale again and also ed?

the problem here is that they wanted to steal everyones shekels, instead of goying them, good example is Overwatch, that's how you goy people

I hate post gen 6 gaming

>>376799669
They made the gameplay more newb friendly while they made the actual game tourneyfag only by completely ignoring single player content. So it was shit for everybody.
