Street Fighter V is fun to play, the main issues are some input lag and the net code. Aside of that, it’s a pretty solid game.

They could take inspiration from Mortal combat 11, and Injustice 2, which both feel "fresh" to some degree.
Both which did well not just critially but in sales too.

SF probably needs some form of innovaction that isnt related to the fighting aspect, but the rest of the game.
I dislike swapping fighting games, if SF goes away my will to play a fighter, is probably gone too.

*vomits*

The indie street fighter... no thanks.
Fighters are niche but need a following to really be enjoyable, since its about the online fighting aspects.

Fighting games are not kinde to indies, or vice versa.
Its a bad combo, is what Im trying to say.

Wanting something new with a publisher that's known to want to stick to it's old ways can be a reason for demotion and sometimes even being forced to leave.

For years it has been known that Capcom has wanted to make RE a more action orientated game over what the series used to be, as just one example. Some Japanese companies can be stubborn just as Western ones can, but more so then usual, so this sort of move doesn't really surprise me as much.

Capcom is a publisher that is still far from perfect, so I still see some stubbornness in them.

it is because he was the director of SF6, but due to the game not turning up that great he was demoted and Capcom put another person in charge. Most probably that is why he resigned.

But that's the game now though not when it released in fact pre-CE SFV was a very weak product it's only after CE that it became solid and CE only released this year mind you this is why the game attracts a lot of criticism as it's taken 4 years to get to this point and it still has some issues.

Damn, really?  Not that I played this series since SFII Turbo and Super SFII on the SNES, but that was always my favorite character.
