Capcom UK community manager: I can't wait till you see what we have in store for Street Fighter 5
Many of us were hopeful about big announcements for Street Fighter 5 from Capcom at the conclusion of Final Round 2019 — the first tournament of the 2019 Capcom Pro Tour. Needless to say, the lack of a character reveal following this event left a damper on the mood for many.
At this very moment, Capcom's statement about "doing things differently" this year has mostly been viewed as a negative thing since there's been no communication as to what this might mean. However, recent statements from a Capcom community manager have been very interesting.
If you enjoy watching and playing Street Fighter 5, Capcom's lack of communication isn't necessarily a reason to stop
If you've listened to our latest podcast episode, you can tell in the first few seconds by my tone alone that I've been fairly demoralized by Capcom's lack of announcements for Street Fighter 5. No doubt that makes me just one of many experiencing that sentiment of lack of acknowledgement and even disrespect by a company we've tethered ourselves to in multiple ways.
What I'm hoping we avoid here is a falling into the trap that says "Street Fighter 5 is incomplete because Capcom isn't talking or updating in the way we expected." That's a very low-resolution, emotionally-centered reaction that I've found growing within myself, and I figure if I'm experiencing it then others likely are as well.

No Street Fighter 5 announcement at Final Round 2019, let's discuss why, how the community is reacting, and where we should go from here
"Maybe not in January, maybe not at EVO Japan, but then surely at the kick off event of the 2019 Capcom Pro Tour we'll get something in the way of character announcements for Street Fighter 5," was the community's general speculation surrounding Capcom's radio silence on this matter.
Final Round 2019 has come and gone, and though the production was thoroughly entertaining with its wonderfully unpredictable results, little to no streaming issues, and very exciting matches throughout, here we stand on Monday still with no more information in the way of SF5's fourth season.

Sus404308's Street Fighter sketch art is simply beautiful
We've featured galleries from Sus304308 here on EventHubs before, but it's been a good while and the incredible artist has been hard at work generating new content.
