In February 2016 Capcom released Street Fighter 5 to mixed reviews. Although fans had been excited to use the new V-Gauge system, many felt let down by what was on offer.

In particular, fans said that Street Fighter 5’s story just wasn’t substantial enough. The story content was also said to be so simple that even a baby was able to complete it. The game’s online content was also slammed for having no penalty system (and therefore there were many rage-quitters who made the gameplay unenjoyable).

Understandably, fans were upset by the Street Fighter 5 situation and felt disheartened by Capcom’s work on the series. Thankfully though, the company has taken steps since to remedy this and get back into gamers’ good books.
