E3 2014

CAPCOM ON STREET FIGHTER 5
Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said:
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 utilise the unique features of online gaming, but also attempt to broaden the player base by making it more accessible for newcomers.

"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.

Hit the jump to read more on what the Capcom president and COO has to say about Street Fighter 5.

As a means to achieve that (prevent unskilled players from losing instantaneously), Capcom is looking into possibly implementing some kind of pay-for-advantage system in Street Fighter 5 that will allow new players to cover for their lack of skill in matches.

Uh oh.

Wow, its like they dont learn.

The best way to broaden the appeal of a new street fighter would be to
a) Add a much better tutorial system.
b) Make the game much more simpler.

Adding the pay-to-advantage will only shrink the base. Because people that weren't interested in it before still wont be and the people who were interested will be put off by that system.
