Despite being heavily anticipated, the game was met with rather mixed reviews, as its polished gameplay and graphics were not enough to compensate for frequent technical issues and what many deemed a lack of content. Street Fighter 5 failed to meet its initial sales targets, and the title\u2019s producer Yoshinori Ono even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbull.com\/us-en\/yoshinori-ono-street-fighter-5-interview-cpt-na-finals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitted<\/a> that it was not a finished product at launch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the developers responded to users\u2019 needs by gradually improving the quality of Steet Fighter 5 through subsequent fixes and new content updates, successfully dealing with most of the issues that caused the initial disappointment. Now, 8 years later, Capcom gives a refreshingly honest take on the whole ordeal, expressing regret for the initial problematic state of the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30b9\u30c8V\u304c\u767a\u58f2\u304b\u30898\u5468\u5e74\u3092\u8fce\u3048\u307e\u3057\u305f\ud83d\ude4c<br><br>\u30ea\u30ea\u30fc\u30b9\u5e8f\u76e4\u301c\u4e2d\u76e4\u306b\u304b\u3051\u3066\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30af\u306e\u554f\u984c\u3084\u30b3\u30f3\u30c6\u30f3\u30c4\u4e0d\u8db3\u306a\u3069\u2026\u591a\u304f\u306e\u307f\u306a\u3055\u307e\u306e\u671f\u5f85\u3092\u88cf\u5207\u308b\u5185\u5bb9\u3067\u672c\u5f53\u306b\u7533\u3057\u8a33\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002<br><br>\u591a\u304f\u306e\u53cd\u7701\u3092\u3057\u3001\u554f\u984c\u3092\u51fa\u6765\u308b\u3060\u3051\u89e3\u6c7a\u3059\u3079\u304f\u4e2d\u76e4\u301c\u7d42\u76e4\u3001\u30b9\u30c8V\u958b\u767a\u30c1\u30fc\u30e0\u306f\u5168\u529b\u3067\u53d6\u308a\u7d44\u307f\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iqDHB7sGL4\">https:\/\/t.co\/iqDHB7sGL4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b9\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u30c8\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30bf\u30fc \/ STREET FIGHTER (@StreetFighterJA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StreetFighterJA\/status\/1759198714332406176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 18, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>Street Fighter celebrates its 8<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. The initial phases of release betrayed players\u2019 expectations in many ways, including network issues and a lack of content. This is something we are truly sorry for. After much reflection, the Street Fighter 5 development team worked hard to tackle all issues, and the final game had 45 playable characters, as well as the addition of the Battle System, V-Skill, V-Trigger II and V-Shift. Thanks to that, the number of Street Fighter 5 players grew greatly from Season 4 onwards. We still remember the happiness we felt at the time, and even now, hundreds of thousands of players continue to play Street Fighter 5, which makes us very happy! And above all, we were able to utilize everything we learned from the experience and apply it to Street Fighter 6. We can feel the progress we made together with all of you over these past 8 years.
