Capcom Cancels Street Fighter V Panel, But Says Announcements Are Still Coming at Evo 2017

Funny enough, I recently got interested in SFV again. The combat is as top notch as its always been but there is just so much lacking in comparison to other fighting games. I look at Injustice 2, Guilty Gear, and Killer Instinct and just see so many great ideas in these games that Street Fighter could desperately use.

I know Capcom said they wouldn't do a SUPER Version, but with all the bad press this game has been getting I say go ahead and do it. Make it a reasonable price and put it on Xbox One if possible.

I am way more interested in the SNK announcement but as usual SFV gets all the coverage. Sometimes it feels like launching an incomplete version gave them more exposure.

@sinalefa It's really a case of waaaay more people caring, but no doubt the negative press helped with exposure, too. That said, SFV would have been much, much better off being popular for the right reasons rather than the wrong ones.

I already give up on the game and bought ultra street fighter 4 instead , it's surprisingly still fun playing the single player arcade mode.

@sinalefa It gave them exposure all right, a bad one. The game only sold about 1.5M which is disappointing and below capcom expectation.

@shonenjump86 but only if it really is "super" they need to open up the combo system a bit more. Too many restrictions on what normals can combo. Would be nice to have dedicated backgrounds for everyone. Costumes for ALL characters when theres a new costume theme. Give ryu back his donkey kick. Add arcade for the weirdos that care about that And of course add MAKOTO!!!

More micro transaction b*ll*cks, fighters and racers have been terrible for it in recent years.

Time for Super Street Fighter 5?

I expect Abigail and maybe extra battle mode.

@ShogunRok for what it's worth, I would definitely be interested if guys did cover more SNK news. I'll be nice and even comment on them. 👍🏾

@ShogunRok @shonenjump86

Sometimes I wonder if SNK games would be more popular if indeed there were more news about them. You cannot be interested in something you don't know exists.

As an example, Push Square recently made a review for Superbeat: Xonic on PS4. I have a PS4 and I love rhythm games but if not for that review (for the record, still the only one on Metacritic) I would not even know the game was ported from the Vita. Apparently a Switch version is on the way too.

The idea of news outlet is precisely to inform people so I definitely appreciate when you go out of your way to write about niche and indie games even if they won't get a lot of hits. It is one of the reasons I don't frequent big news outlets as they tend to mostly focus on AAA games.

@sinalefa @shonenjump86 Yeah, that's fair enough. In an ideal world we'd cover absolutely everything, but sometimes we have little choice but to prioritise and SNK games aren't high on demand.

But okay, I'll try and branch out our coverage a bit if you guys want more niche stuff.

I'm hoping for a Resident Evil 2 Remake announcement and release date.
I bet it will be more micro transactions, DLC garbage or an upgrade to " super" or " turbo" pack though.

@ShogunRok

Sounds great, thank you so much Robert!
