daily reminder Capcom expected it to sell over 2m copies by the end of March 2016

FGs are more popular than ever right now and the game sold less than UMvC3 and half of vanilla SFIV

serves them right for making that turd and releasing the game when it was incomplete as fuck

I do. Id rather they not shelve the series because of this, even if it is there fault. I want them to learn from their mist-

*remembers that MVCI just came out where they half assed most of the game*

Goddamn it.....

LOL Cuckcom

Taking pleasure in the failure of a game is pretty dumb, but that being said here's hoping that it sends the message that fighting game fans don't like being sold an obvious incomplete package. I mean... it didn't have what many consider to be the Street Fighter mode.

1. Censored R. Mika -- first major sign of bad decisions, many people canceled right then and there.
2. Graphics for females was terribad ugly at first. To their credit, they fixed this.
3. BS Fight Money system.
4. Season Pass sorta deal. Most people who bought three versions of SF IV were like lol... no.
5. Despite fanboys saying there would be no Super version... fast forward a year and here we are.
6. FGC is **** and the game isn't good enough for casuals to ignore this fact this time around. I was talking about SF IV online shenanigans recently, true story.
7. Game is on a system with a low install base (real legit reason). People like me don't own a PS4 and were going to just to play SF V but nope (see point #1... they lost a lot of business with that stunt).
8. Bad business practices -- no one trusts Capcom right now. This cannot be understated.
9. Low fighter count at launch.
10. The game engine low key sucks. It's a set back from SF IV and Third Strike, even.

I could go on. Basically bad management and decision making by Capcom. If DBZ Fighterz comes on the PC, I have zero reason to own a PS4... and even less to want SF V. I would buy ten copies of the new game from the creators of Street Fighter Plus Alpha before I paid for one copy of SF V. If someone gave me a copy of SF V right now, I'd give it back or give it away. I'm kinda done with Capcom right now.

Should've released it for all consoles.

Sony footed the bill for the game. Wasn't going to happen

- free DLC
- free balance patches
- best graphics and artstyle
- best netcode
- best crossplay support
- best FG that incorporates both neutral and rushdown gameplay
- most active fighting game

sf5 is objectively the best fighting game. Only dead anime game fans and casuals would disagree

Poison, when?

A million copies sold is a lot dude.
