Eight years have passed since Street Fighter V first hit the scene, and in a heartfelt Twitter post, Capcom expressed gratitude for the ongoing support, along with a sincere apology for any past shortcomings.

Initially, Street Fighter V faced its share of challenges, with a mixed reception upon launch due to its sparse content and technical issues. However, Capcom swiftly addressed these concerns, acknowledging and rectifying the shortcomings, including server problems and issues with player behavior.

Reflecting on the journey, the StreetfighterJA account tweeted (via RPS) a candid acknowledgment of the initial stumbles, expressing genuine regret for any disappointment experienced by players. Yet, the post also highlighted the dedicated efforts of the development team to listen, learn, and improve the game over time.

Ultimately, the story of Street Fighter V evolved into one of triumph,
with subsequent updates, additional characters, and enhanced gameplay elevating the experience. The lessons gleaned from this journey contributed to the success of Street Fighter 6, praised as one of the standout fighting games of the decade, and a commercial success.
