Street Fighter V producer Tomoaki Ayano has said that we will have to wait quite a long time before Street Fighter V comes out.
“Game development is a long and arduous process,” he said. “If you look at the history of the series, it took six years to go from Street Fighter II to Street Fighter III, and nine years to go from Street Fighter III to Street Fighter IV. Purely based on that it would probably take us until the year 2018 before Street Fighter V comes out [laughs]. So I hope everyone will play Ultra Street Fighter IV for a long time.”
That’s at least three years from now, meaning we likely won’t be getting a lot more information soon.
Ayano did put some fans at ease by guaranteeing that these characters won’t just be ported Street Fighter X Tekken characters. In fact, he has said that if they were just ported over from Street Fighter X Tekken, they would be overpowered, specifically because of their ability to use boost combos. These were combos that canceled light into medium into heavy and then allowed characters to tag back and forth. One could assume this means that Street Fighter V won’t have a chain combo system.
