I wouldn't bet on Street Fighter for Japan, as the game still failed to show up on COMG 2 weeks before launch while Pokkén is charting for about 3 weeks now already. It's also not doing so hot on amazon japan either, so the outlook for SFV in Japan is not too great right now.
Arcade owners are not happy with Pokkén not because it doesn't attract enough players, but because they can keep on playing for over an hour for their initial money input if they are halfway decent. Compared to other games which will last 15-20m at most before more coins must be invested to continue playing, Pokkén just doesn't make enough revenue unless the price per game would be raised beyond the comfort zone of most arcade players.
