Capcom updated the Platinum Titles page. SFV now at 2.9 million.

Per his follow up he's leaving for another opportunity, it's why the CM position at Capcom opened up on the jobs site.
People usually leave in Jan/Feb in the states due to benefits rollover.
Andy Wong always looked dead on those Unity streams. I've never seen a streamer with such low energy. Him and that other dude... haunts? The perfect duo if you ever had trouble sleeping. Watch one of their Unity streams and you'll sleep like a baby.
I got to play a Kage player at Genesis, of all places. I used Gief and forced him to rely on footsies and ended up going even with him in wins. Sometimes I would see his face in my periph and he looked miserable lol
Zangief is straight fucked up this season, and is the #1 character I hope they nerf next to Akuma.The layers and option selects that the character has that all lead into the most terrifying vortex in the game is too much. He's the most powerful grappler this season.
Complaining about Gief in SFV is like complaining about Gen in USFIV. People see two buffs and freak out until they realize the character is still just as hard to play as ever.
Slow ass climb to 3M still unfortunately.
Up from 2.5, right?

I don't have experience with USFIV, but I do have a lot of experience fighting Gief in SFV S4. And no matter how hard he is to play, the character can still do too much under the right hands. Menat was one of the least played characters for a reason last season, but she still got nerfed for a reason. How difficult it is to play a character is only tangential to their core potential.
We're gonna see some shit from Itazan and the like this CPT season unless 4.5 addresses it.
For real. Kage still handed me my own asshole in plenty of those games, and I had to outplay the other guy for each win I clawed for.
You can outplay the character for 95% of the round. Then literally a single mistake can mean you're dead right there. There is nothing scarier in this game.
Hell, it doesn't even have to be a mistake. The fact that his V-Trigger activation can be plus at the right range even if you're just blocking will lead into the vortex, which can lead into immediate death.

Gen has two fighting stance with low damage output.
Zangief takes advantage of SFV's lack of wake up option and the ability to crush counter
Replace like half the roster's name with Gief and this is still correct. That's like saying Urien is good because he has a good VT.
If I was a Ryu main, I would never take this costume off and I would always use the alternate code.
Came here to post a pic of Thong Ryu. You can almost see his nutsack in idle pose. 10/10 troll costume, would use again.
This makes all the hard work worth it.Hell yeah. They did it!
Just in case someone missed the related thread in the news section, Capcom updated their Platinum page. As of December 31, SFV shipped 2.9M units (up from 2.2M that it had a quarter before):

SFV is now 18th best selling game in Capcom's history.

If you become to powerful I'm going to have to call the police
Have you done all the trials yet? The S4 trials are the only reason I've been staying afloat, FM-wise.
And suddenly out from nowhere... Puzzle X Dragon is having a collaboration event with Street Fighter V

That's quite the jump! I would never have expected that.
I know most people will consider it a bad performance, but selling this amount of copies so late in the game's life with such a, let's say, _polarized_ reception online, that's quite a feat.
Not mentioning that selling the game is only one part of the equation. The amount of season pass and costumes probably made them tons of money on top of the sales.
And half of the potential market for the game is missing, which means the SF brand is still plenty relevant.
I hope the fighting game division will be able to prove their worth to upper management.
That's solid performance. Smash blows it out of the water, of course. DBFZ too. Those games are sensations for different reasons.
But I'd love to see the PS4+PC numbers for Tekken 7 and the last two NRS games. I imagine SFV is in the ballpark, even if it still lags behind. 3 million is a hit for all but the highest budget games.
So over on the Gaming side there is a thread where people are feeding video game character portraits to an Nvidia deep-learning AI program that reconstructs facial features with CGI.
Someone fed the machine Ken's character select portrait. Not even HAL 9000 can fix Ken's face:

I think Andy Wong is headed to Marvel Games based on the last tweet of his. Is Combo Fiend poaching Capcom employees? lol

Beautiful! I hope someone mods this in!

Browsing through that thread some more... I think Nvidia put Lucebuce out of a job
Like I said before, I wouldn't necessarily expect anything from Evo Japan. In fact, I think expecting some reveal here is giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't want to make a bigger deal for the S4 launch 2 months ago because they were holding back for this smaller event. Not sure that's how it'd be.
Sold below expectations, has stagnated in many ways, they've shot themselves in the foot in as many ways, and we're basically in the ultimate year of support based on what they had outlined prior to the game's launch. Budget would have been reduced accordingly. Things are dying down. Unfortunately, possibly not with a bang, but with a whimper. A lot of it is plainly reflected (notable reduction in DLC, FM system weirdness, lack of "big" elements in S4, etc.).
Internally, many of the folk behind the scenes have likely moved on to an upcoming project which will usurp SFV in the future. For now, we're going to get some more stuff, but support is definitely progressively being reduced.
The hope is that they take the lessons they learned from SFV to heart, and that the new leadership for the FG division can make a big, positive splash when it comes time for it.
Shocking, but not surprising. My favorite part is that he just calls it "JPN FG event." Can't even bother calling it EVO.

I love SFV, but i hope Capcom is preparing SF6 for next gen to deliver a top notch fighting game from day one.
I don't see any other possibilities for Capcom other then dedicate their full ressources of the fighting game division on this legendary franchise to get where it belongs: on top.
New Capcom will do this. Just make an all around great game, there is no other solution.

I don't have faith in SFVI's longevity if SFV gets abandoned before it hits the 3 year mark. I hope they're working on the next game too, but they can't leave SFV up in the air like this and expect everybody to be all in on the next game.
