Maybe people should play more TvC instead.
Nowhere in his reply does it state the game will come out in 2018, he's simply using the gaps between the previous mainline titles to indicate when it would come out if you used them as a basis. It's a non answer, it's when it's done it's done. You and several other people in this thread are going to look stupid when @ captivate or wherever in a few years time they unveil SFV and say they've been working on it for years already. As Stone Ocean said "What a subtle way of saying "stop fucking asking we don't know"."
It's hilarious anyone would even take this seriously considering the reason for the gap in time between 3rd Strike and IV no long exists and that the series is strong once again.

Exactly, but a lot of people which I doubt play the game won't care and will complain anyway.
I fully believe it has been worked on for years, In fact I believe a lot of the work in XTekken was done directly to 'test the water' as it were before committing design ideas to V. I'm thinking the gem system/character customize design was certainly planned for V but given the community reception to XTekken will have be refined or removed.
I don't mind looking stupid by venting my frustrations, I am passionate about the game and hope that this is just dismissive talk and an announcement will be made sooner or later.

fuckin' called it, man
I read the post as sarcasm.
Raises an interesting idea, will Capcom attempt to push out an SFIV varient on PS4/XBO, perhaps digital only or some type of re-skin.
It's more important for Capcom to get SFV right than to have it in early.
SF is in a similar position to Tekken in that they threw everything at folks this gen, and are going to have to revamp things on their sequel.
They're definitely going to have to spend some good time on making some new characters- they might have to SF3 roster it again, despite the shudders this probably causes in Capcomland and pushback from the players (I don't mean make it play like SF3- hell no to that crap, but they're going to have to make it different enough to feel new without turning off the folks who started with SFIV)

Development of my most anticipated or favorite games always seem so slow. I love some SF4, but 2018 has to be a joke and SF4 is so old now no matter how many times you try to resurrect it. I might not even care about video games by then IF 2018 is legitimate which I am doubting. This is like the next COD or Assassin's Creed coming out in 2020. This cannot be real.
Jesus fucking christ Ultra is coming out. What the hell is wrong with you people. What are the letting die? They are continuing to support the game and the scene + they are working on putting together anther tournament, the Capcom Cup.
Also, your 2nd point is beyond moronic. Yes! You;ve figured it out! Man, it's so simple, thank you for dropping this amazing truth bomb and revealing exactly what a company should do with one of it's important IPs.
I hope to god you don't work in the industry.

Yeah it is probably a non-answer and GAF does care too fucking much about every little non-answer found in interviews, but the logic is way off, because Street Fighter Zero was a mainline game/series. They only stopped for a long time between III and IV.
IV has plenty of life in it..... I dont need V anytime soon. They should work on getting SF4 closer to Dota/League levels. 25th anniversary tournament series was just epic.
The game has the quality/depth and potential. Perhaps the retail model is whats holding it back.
And I dont get all the hate here. There has always been just one SF series title every gen. Why make it an early launch title. 2018 seems a bit too far, unless the team is working on another FG after USF4. Perhaps another Alpha title. Ono did say he wanted to work on it

Maybe some higher up at Capcom will realize that 2017 is the 30th anniversary of the series and try to have something out by late that year.

Tekken Revolution tells me that's a good idea. It's the obvious solution to get more people into playing fighting games.

So what you are saying is that you do not plan on buying a game to play with it, but you plan on buying a game to simply *HAVE* the complete package?
In which case, stay away from fighting games, please. They are not made for you, clearly, and i mean this without any malice. These games are the anthithesis of non-evolving story-based packages.

Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty get scheduled yearly releases. People complain.
Street Fighter decides to hold off the sequel until the time is right. People complain.

You mean another compilation of the old ones? Quite possible.

As long as we get:
Elena in, it's a sale.
Is that Dhalsim's daughter?
Not familiar with Street Fighter? People still play Super Turbo. Playing SF4 until 2018 wouldn't be anything new for the series.

Elena's boobs look really weird here.

A lot of people here are too young to remember the SF2 days, I guess. Gotdamn they milked that one forever.
Exactly, 4 still has so much life in it, why throw that all away with a hurried sequel?

So, you don't like that it has become a better game?
UDON's Street Fighter art tends to be like that.
I dont like a game that's too focused on setups and wakeups.

Compared to: "I just want a new flashy new fighting game that I'm going to get tired in a few weeks."
Ask yourself, Why do you want a new SF? and Why are you not playing the current one?
And you can see why we feel that way about when people like you comment like this.
It is an either or, because why would capcom develop 2 self competing products at the same time. SFV will cannibalize SF4, which is still thriving to this day.
That might be a possibility. And very likely, but not set in stone yet. F2P have many permutations. Hopefully they follow the DOTA2 model, instead of the KI one.
Since USF4 only comes out in 2014, I didn't expect SF5 to come out before 2016 at least anyway. Had they said they would be releasing SF5 in 2014/2015 people would not buy USF4, or at least, considerably less people would shell out the money for it. From my point of view this "decision" makes sense.
Fair enough, even though those things were already quite present in the Vanilla days.

They're to busy making iOS games and killing the Breath of Fire franchise.
