MWEB GameZone Writes: "Street Fighter V’s cross-platform play will pit PC gamers against PS4 owners when it is released.
PC gamers will likely dominate the leaderboards and show the world once and for all that they are more skilled than console gamers, all while Xbox One owners sit on the sidelines.
Here are both sides of the argument."
Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.
Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.
SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.
SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.
I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.
SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.
Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.
So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.
Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.
SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.
Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.
It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.
I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

Round One: FIGHT!!
I agree that PC comp players are generally superior, BUT when it comes to Street Fighter PS4 players might have the upper hand.
Most people who play on PC use Xbox 360 controllers. Basically playing on and Xbox 360 vs. PS4.
I would have more fun playing againint a PC gamers than PS4 gamers. Just b/c its a PC player I'm playing against makes me even more eager to fight them.
This is a win-win for Sony. How many PC players will end up purchasing DS4s for this game? I've already picked up a white one for PC as the MS pads have inferior dpads.
Wasn't even aware the fighting game community was significant enough on PC to be discussing this. I guess the general crowd could go either way, but all the top fighting gamers all play on console. Why does any of this matter is the real question.
