I think you're comparing the original Arcade release of SFIV to SFV. But obviously most people didn't play SFIV until it came to consoles.

Hence, most people didn't play SFIV with only 18 characters. Either way, 16 characters for SFV at launch is fine assuming new characters come relatively soon.

"Most"?  Street Fighter 4 is mostly played at the arcades in Japan.  I'm not sure if you're watching Evo, but the Japanese players destroyed the competition.  I personally played Street Fighter 4 first at one of the only 2 arcades left in the Toronto area.  But yes I am comparing the arcade release to Street Fighter 5 cause this technically is the "arcade" release.  It's just a technicallity that there isn't one.  A shame too cause of what I mentioned in Japan.

I call bullshit. Sure, a lot of people in Japan play SFIV at arcades. But more than the the amount of people playing SFIV on consoles or PC? I doubt it.

Also, SF is more popular in the west.
