Capcom celebrates the 8th anniversary of Street Fighter V by saying sorry for Street Fighter V

Street Fighter character Chun-Li.

It's been eight years since Street Fighter V first appeared on the scene, and to celebrate the big birthday Capcom took to Twitter to say thanks for sticking with it—and, y'know, sorry for the whole thing.

Street Fighter V has a "mostly positive" user rating on Steam and a respectable 77 aggregate score on Metacritic, so it's easy to forget that it was not exactly in fighting shape at launch. We found the underlying game quite good for experienced players but "miserably light on content," and "simply abysmal" for newcomers to the series. Server issues (which Capcom also apologized for) and rage quitters were big problems too.
