Shit, I’ve just purchased the last Ultra iteration… but I’m still excited by the prospect of Street Fighter V coming to PS4 and Xbone 🙂

Updated: Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono addressed Sports Nippon’s report today and said that the “pay to win model is not accurate and isn’t something we’re planning for.

“Sorry for the confusion! We’re still in early planning stages and will
share more at a later date,” added Ono.

Earlier: Although Capcom did not announce a new fighting game at E3 this year, according to Sponichi Annex, the online portal for the Sports Nippon Japanese newspaper, one of the fighting games maker’s top executives did make a few comments regarding the next Street Fighter.

Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said to media representatives in a group interview at E3 that the Osaka-based games maker has plans to develop a Street Fighter 5, and that it would not only fully utilize the unique features of online gaming, but also attempt to broaden the player base by making it more accessible for newcomers, Sponichi Annex reported.

“We’d like to steer away from making the next game such that skilled players will win, but unskilled players will lose almost instantaneously,” Tsujimoto said.
