* ChristmasRushed: Part of the reason for the game's bare-bones feature set at launch can be laid at the game having to be released in February 2016. The release window can be chalked up to three major factors: making it in time for the end of Creator/{{Capcom}}'s financial year in March, having the game out in time for the Capcom Pro Tour series of tournaments that kicked off two weeks after the game launch, as well as giving the general UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity enough time to study and adapt the new tech in preparation for said Capcom Pro Tour.

** The game was meant to conclude with Season 4 as the final pass of content and the team transitioning on to working on ''Street Fighter 6''. However, changes within Capcom's fighting game division (chief among them the departure of series director Yoshinori Ono) led to a delay in production for ''6'', and thus, in turn, led to the creation of a final fifth season of DLC. This notably saw the debut of ''6's'' protagonist Luke as the final new character; his inclusion was finalized after his design for ''6'' had finished and was tweaked to resemble the environment of ''V''.

** When the second beta was announced, the initial time frame would have given PC players only two days to play the game, at most. After a rush of backlash from PC players feeling they were being shafted, the final times were extended to give both [=PS4=] and PC players an extra day of beta testing.
** Many fan favorites such as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Karin Kanzuki]] and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Alex]] made their long-awaited returns, and the game places more emphasis on footsies and fundamentals than the high execution vortex insanity that was ''Street Fighter IV''. The music has been well-received in ''SFV'', with a higher selection of instruments and progressive rock elements added leaving more room for variety in the atmosphere, pacing, and energy of the soundtrack, even more so with the reveal in soundtrack page listings that several other composers joined Hideyuki Fukasawa in making the game's music. Masahiro Aoki in particular is being praised for his rock arrangements of several of the classic themes carrying a big-fight, bombastic atmosphere in contrast to the reintroductory vibe of Fukasawa's ''SFIV'' rearrangements.
** ''Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition''. The lack of an arcade mode in the initial release has been addressed by adding ''six'' different arcade modes, each one themed around the various entries in the ''Street Fighter'' series. The update is free for everyone who already has the game, and people who don't can buy it in stores and get every character from launch up to the end of Season 2 for only $39.99. Other changes include a UI overhaul and the addition of Extra Battle, a new mode where players fight against special NPC enemies, and the return of the BonusStage. Arcade mode even has over ''100'' different endings.
** After the final ''SFV'' match for Capcom Cup 2017 ended, a new gameplay trailer for Sakura was shown. Of course, many were happy with her return, along with her ''Alpha 2'' stage.

** Some fans accused Capcom of whitewashing Sean in ''Street Fighter V'' due to Laura's Story Mode art showing him with a much lighter skin tone than he had in previous games. The new artwork for Arcade Mode in ''Arcade Edition'' depicts Sean with dark skin again, seemingly responding to the complaints.
** The announcement of Cody in June 2018 came with numerous changes to the maligned Survival Mode, including a save feature for the higher difficulties, power-ups that don't drain your score meaning you no longer have to worry about having low health and a bad supplement for the harder fights, and the opportunity to continue at the expense of some in-game currency.
** Massive controversy came when LootBoxes were added; while they took only Fight Money, FM is notoriously hard to come by, especially for those who want the entire game's contents for free. That was mitigated by the announcement that reaching a score above par in Survival Mode would win you a free box, for twenty boxes a month. Not only that, the Survival Mode power-ups, unlike the supplements, do not reduce your score, and you get some for just completing the mode.
** After a multitude of complaints towards Vega's new costume, which has him wearing a shirt for the first time in the games without an option to remove it, a Classic option was added to let players use his older, shirtless look.
** After the lukewarm reception of Kage, the Summer Bundle of Season 4 characters brought back some familiar faces. E. Honda returned with his original bathhouse stage, finally completing the original ''World Warrior'' roster. Along with his reveal came [[FairCop Lucia]], one of the protagonists from ''[[VideoGame/FinalFight Final Fight 3]]'', as well as fan favorite Poison, complete with a new look and whip. All characters came with plenty of new costumes (four for Honda, five for each girl), all in one $15 bundle.
** ''Champion Edition'' and Season 5. Not only does the package include the vast majority of items you can buy in the Shop (barring some exceptions like the Capcom Pro Tour DLC), but the new balance changes have been incredibly well-received by the player base, with mostly buffs all around to characters as well as new V-Skills and options for every single character. First impressions appear to be that this is the most open-ended, fun, and balanced version of the game yet.
** After being relegated to non-''SF'' crossovers for nearly two decades, ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has been given justice with the inclusion of Akira Kazama, finally making things full circle since Sakura's guest appearance in that series.

Bruce Lee's estate clarified that they made no such comments

** Fei Long's inclusion would've been business as usual for the dev team when deciding the roster, except that [[https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2022/may/08/sf5-composer-fei-long-never/ The Lee family started cracking down]] on the BruceLeeClone trope and told Capcom that Fei Long isn't a strictly honorable portrayal of his character and wasn't allowed to be included.

* FanNickname:
** It didn't take long after Charlie's reveal trailer for [=FrankenCharlie=] to catch on due to his stitched together appearance. Other names includes [=FrankenNash=], Charliestein/Nashenstein, or [[JustForPun if you're feeling a little bit punny]], [[MonsterMash Monster Nash]]; all of these seem to have been [[FandomNod acknowledged by]] Capcom actually giving him [[http://shoryuken.com/2016/10/11/get-a-sneak-peek-at-street-fighter-vs-spooky-arena-and-halloween-costumes/ a Premium Halloween Costume]] based on [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein's Monster]] (and possibly [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Victor]]). Given his story in this game, and as per MemeticMutation due to his much darker nature, he is also referred to as [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain Punished Nash]].
** Within minutes of Necalli's reveal, fans were already calling him a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Pillar Man]] or [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Woolie]]. Among wrestling fans, he's also been called [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Finn Bálor]]. In addition, his SuperMode is referred to as [[Franchise/DragonBall Super Saiyan]], because he looks like a non-blonde Super Saiyan.[[note]]"Super Saiyan [[Franchise/XMen Sabretooth]]" was a minor spin-off from this, given Necalli's wild behavior and general appearance.[[/note]]
** Rashid is often called Vegeta or Raditz because of his "scouter."
** Ryu's pre-order alternate costume, the one where he's topless and has a beard, quickly gained the nickname "Hot Ryu" because... well, [[MrFanservice he's freaking hot]] (to the point where EvenTheGuysWantHim).
** The game is referred to as ''Blonde Fighter V'' since a lot of the playable characters (Charlie, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, R. Mika, Karin, Alex, Guile, Kolin, Ed, Falke, Cody and G) are blonde. It's also being referred to as ''Street Fighter Alpha 4'', or some variation, due to the large amount of characters returning from the ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha]]'' series instead of ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII III]]'' or ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV IV]]''. This was subsequently twisted into ''Street Fighter Beta'', [[ObviousBeta due to the title's incomplete state at launch]].
** Among [[UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity the competitive community]], it's referred to as ''Honest Fighter V'' due to the developers stating that the game would focus more on fundamentals and commitment than ''Street Fighter IV''. In an ironic twist, Season 2 is sometimes referred to as ''UNGA Fighter V'' because of the gameplay design at that time being about little risk and high reward due to defensive options being weakened and offensive options, mixups in particular, becoming stronger, making the game feel more akin to an anime fighting game like ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', the very series where the term "UNGA" originates from and that the game's battle director Woshige was a prominent player of.
** Red Body for Zangief's V-Skill, being a much more defensive alternative to his Banishing Flat (a ki attack that protects Gief from projectiles when timed right, dubbed Green Hand because his hand glows green). Alternatively known as "[[VideoGame/BlazBlue Real]] [[VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}} Soviet]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Nanomachines]]."
** Fans refer to F.A.N.G as WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck due to his wide-brimmed hat, purple color scheme, and bird-like attacks. In a joyful example of complete sarcasm, they also refer to him as [[FunWithAcronyms Friendly And Nice Guy]].
** [=Boobs McGee=] for R. Mika, coined by Creator/{{TotalBiscuit}} for obvious reasons.
** Buzz Lightyear for the robot in the backdrop of the Lair of the Four Kings stage, also for obvious reasons.
** In the competitive scene, there are a trio of Ken players within the California region: Chris Tatarian, Julio Fuentes, and Brentt "Brenttiscool" Franks who are dubbed "The Trinity" by players. When one member of the trio plays, the other two are next to the player for moral support and coaching. The Trinity's coaching practices have been the subject of [[TakeThat a coaching ban at EVO 2016]].
** Laura is often called "Bonita," in reference to her story mode costume.
** Cody has been dubbed "Codell Traverson" because of how debonair he looks as a BadassInANiceSuit.
** ''Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition'' quickly became known as ''Street Fighter V: Abigail Edition'', due to various buffs turning Abigail into a TierInducedScrappy.
** Upon the reveal of Seth's new design, namely that he now has a [[AttractiveBentGender female body]], the name "Beth" was quickly coined.
** "Luke Paul" for Luke, due to his primary costume appearance resembling that of Creator/JakePaul.

Replacing dead link.

** Capcom's original plan was to replace Cammy with Decapre in the game's launch roster. However, this idea was scrapped after Decapre's debut in ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'' was met with massive negative backlash, so they kept Cammy instead and Decapre was relegated to being a story mode NPC.
