I have always played against people who live and breath the franchise, so I get my ass handed to me a fair amount. It’s one of those fighting games in which novices can’t really rely on button-mashing and luck to win.
That’s why the news that Street Fighter 5 is changing its gameplay to become more appealing to a “newer, younger” audience is a breath of fresh air to players like me.
In a statement, Capcom had this to say about the new direction of the franchise.
In the statement they also said how they are refocusing the franchise, and trying to avoid any confusion, so don’t expect to see any random iterations like “Super Ultra Street Fighter 5”.
