.....Are you serious? Have you played 3rd Strike?
Coming from someone who doesn't play the game but mainly watches it on tournaments like EVO, I'd say yeah, we need another Street Fighter. Hell, we just need more fighting games in general. This year's line-up at EVO is much the same as the last few years. It gets boring. New games need to come in to mix things up. Ultra is new, but it's not entirely new. Back in the 90's, there were new iterations coming out yearly -- or even biannually -- to keep things exciting.
Again, this is from a viewer, not a player.

I can finally be good in Street Fighter!
Instead of this pay-2-win garbage im reading about, why not work on having non garbage-tier matchmaking so people are paired off with other people at their own skill level? How about looking at the tutorials of games like skullgirls, blazblue, vf5 to explain concepts to new players? Why not have significant single player content like they used to have like in SFA3U's world tour?? Why is it that they got to take the easy way out with this crap?

lol this pay shit sounds terrible
Not even Pay to Win could fix DeeJay breh.
lol. Yeah I see how the statement can be taken a but out of context. I can see it "working" okay
Yeah that's what I'm saying. If there's no way to prevent skilled players from purchasing advantage packs, then they really haven't given casual, unskilled players any advantage at all and have only created an environment where a skilled player that pays will dominate so other skilled players will feel like they also need to pay. And unskilled players who don't pay will be at an even greater disadvantage than before.
In other words, their reason is bullshit if a skilled player is capable of buying the advantages.
I did and it was (and still is) the GOAT

They should just replace some players with crappy CPUs if someone loses enough.

I would be outraged, but THIS IS CAPCOM. Capcom has fell out of relevancy for a long time now. They proved that they hate the customer and just want to make money. It is like mini-EA.
Is this post forreal?

It doesn't matter if it's set in stone or not. Having this kind of consideration while actually greenlighting the game says a lot for their future plans.
They might not go with a pay to win model, but I can be sure they'll try to scam people somewhere else.
Capcom confirmed for not learning a damn thing from SFxT.
That would require an expectation that players to actually learn how to play the game -- can't have that!!! Just have them mash on money to become godlike instead. Me and my credit card is going to body Daigo!

When you die and go to Hell there is going to be 3S machine there waiting for you & on the other side is going to be an endless line of top ranked Chun Li players to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Maybe instead of shitting in the competitive pool with P2W crap Capcom could offer interesting single-player modes and training options for new players to sink their teeth into. Hell, they can go ahead and charge for DLC game modes and individual character tutorials/guides if they're so intent on microtransactions.

pay to win WTF capcom still i looking forward to it.
Nothing. Capcom doesn't care about closing the skill bracket, this is just another BS way to monetize their games even further.
it's the best way to make casuals become interested in your game.
Not this pay to win shit.
Yeah, the pattern of Capcom doubling down on shit everyone is upset about and wanting them to chance is impeccable really.
I had hope with RE6, but it's fizzling away again.

Street Fighter 5? 
im expecting a notification to appear before fights and each players enters an auction, and the player with the highest bid, gets 100% health while the other gets 1%.
Pay 2 win is horrid and I am sooo disappointed they didn't learn from SFxT. Guess I'm going to moba.

You know...
...nope, I got nothing. If the MM system is working correctly, you shouldn't ever be in a situation where you're going to get rofflestomped unless you just don't know how to play the game yet. And yes, the game will have a learning curve. It doesn't need an "easy" button. It just needs to make sure you're not getting stuck in matchmaking facing off against people with vastly more experience and skill on anything but a very occasional basis.
Charging for brass knuckles or a handicap meter boost helps nobody get better at the game.

How to kill a franchise in one step.
YesYes it is.
Hey its this robust single player mode you can play and have a story and stuff and unlock stuff with if you want to not do multiplayer, or even learn the basics before you do.
WAT.
and i hate this logic of unskilled players getting disengaged when playing an skilled player. That's life. TOUGH.
If i challenge Jon Jones to a MMA fight I will get knocked out, you cannot compare someone who trains for a specific thing to someone who is just starting. How about they fix things like matchmaking putting the noobs in one pot and the skilled people in another but this is clearly a way to monetize the genre since Capcom really is'nt doing well.

Last generation Capcom titles? There were a lot of negative reactions to Dead Rising 2, Strider, Marvel 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Devil May Cry 4, and Lost Planet's reveals. When they released, they were all met with really positive reception.
Compare that to Super Turbo HD & RE6's reveals which were hyped to hell, but ultimately lauded by fans.
