Are we going the Bayonetta 2 road again?

No, not enough backlash, and "Super Duper Mega Street Fighter V: Turbo Edition" will launch on XBO as a technically different game. 

Thats is the hope, but actually if there is some funding from Sony, won't this game be part their property? Unless capcom did an agreement, after that many copies sold we can release it for others plataforms under other name. Just adding more characters and stages and changing the name, won't make it a different game, from a patent stand point.

No, just because Sony might fund development, hell even if they co develop some parts, Sony still does not own the IP.  This specific game will be exclusive to Sony but the terms of the contract signed by both parties will determine what other iteration happens on other consoles.  Hell, there is nothing stopping MS from funding Capcom to make an exclusive version for their system if they wanted to.

Can anyone tell me why this would be any different from MS deal for Tomb Raider.  Doesn't seem like we are seeing the same level of outcry we saw with the Tomb Raider deal.  Pretty much the same parameters exist since Street Fighter is a multiplat game now made exclusive.  

There is no patent standpoint here.  Capcom owns the franchise and would never give up that ownership to Sony or any other cosole maker it would be stupid.  Instead they could add custom features and characters from Sony but that is just dressing for this game.

Double standards man. GAF is notoriously quiet about this right now. You can bet that if this game got revealed as an XB1 exclusive there would be a shitstorm. Aside from that, and it has been stated before, we still don't know the platforms of the inevitable other versions lol.
