History YMMV / StreetFighterV

** Vega's return to Street Fighter V was surprisingly well received, thanks to a flashy trailer showing Vega receiving a bunch of new moves and animations, on top of a redesign of his outfit. But THEN the word came out that Vega, like Nash before him, had become a Motion Character instead of his traditional Charge (for those who don't know, SF tends to have special moves performed with either Quarter/Half/Full Circle motions on the analog, or by holding a direction for a certain amount of time before moving in a different direction, Vega up until SFV used the latter denomination). Debates, rants and arguments immediately erupted all over any place that discussed SFV. One side believes this is a welcome change for the character, expressing that his Charge based gameplay was ill-suited to his design previously and note how well the change has worked for Nash. The other side believes this is a complete betrayal by Capcom, say the character isn't really Vega and demand a return to his traditional roots since there's no reason to fix what wasn't broken. Adding fuel to the fire was WordOfGod stating that the change to Motion isn't final and may very well change back to Charge based on feedback and balance. If nothing else this is certainly the most emotion and reaction Vega has ever caused, even harking back to his S-Tier Super Turbo and Capcom vs SNK 2 days.

*** Many long-time fans were [[{{Understatement}} very concerned]] about Ken's official redesign, with a majority criticizing his "spaghetti" or "banana" hair (which was not helped by the animation looking like clay or Play-Doh).

* CaptainObviousReveal: By the way his teaser was presented, you wouldn't be alone in thinking that Creator/{{Capcom}} had forgotten that [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV they had already revealed]] that Charlie was still alive.[[note]]Granted, [[AllThereInTheManual by means of]] [[http://www.capcom-fc.com/sf4/thumbnail/SF4.pdf a character relationship chart,]] though [[http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2009/sep/01/street-fighter-4-plot-chart-diagram/ that had been making rounds]] since late ''2009''.[[/note]]

* MemeticMutation: There have been many jokes about Necalli's V-Trigger being him going [[Franchise/{{Dragonball}} Super Saiyan]].

Her face is more in line with real life proportions than the beefy, almost made-of-clay look of the other characters. As a result, some fans find it off-putting.

* DuelingGames: With ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct (2013)''. Both are fighting games coming to one console and [=PC=], with crossplay between PC and their respective console, and have unique business models for DLC.

** Fans were excited for the online beta that was offered as an incentive for pre-ordering the game. When it finally came time for the first beta, it was riddled with connection issues, and had to be shut down early and postponed. This also led to something of a BrokenBase, split between those who understood that this was a beta test and that there would be issues, and those who feel angry at Capcom that they didn't get to play the game, as promised.

* HypeBacklash: As soon as Charlie was revealed, [[BrokenBase three camps of opinion arose]]; The first believes that his new design is awful and that if Capcom wanted to bring Charlie back then his old design was just fine. The second camp believes that Charlie should have been left a mysterious background character, and bringing him back ruins one of the story's hooks. The third is just happy to have Charlie back in some form, and is more angry that Capcom disregarded him for so long.
