You guys learned that "mistake" from SFIV? How about from SFII and every fighter that came after it back in the 90s, this isn't anything new. Why buy SFV and not wait? Because that's when the game will be new and fresh, all the others are expansion packs, which IIRC Capcom actually offered relatively cheap upgrades for those who bought the original. You can ask yourself about every other AAA game that is released, why not buy it a year alter and get it for 20 bucks instead of paying 60 with a bunch of patches you need to download because you are being used as a betatester? Playing it Day 1 and the online community that comes with it is what you pay for.
For me SFIV had too much nostalgia pandering but I was ok with it. I just hope that this one isn't the same, or it'd just be a new gen version of SFIV. SFIII was a bold move and maybe it didn't give Capcom what they wanted but it was a great game because of it. I'd hope that at most only the original 8 World Warriors make it and everyone else is new and the only returning characters being the ones that didn't return in IV or were new characters in IV. The other "fan favorites" can make it in future "Super Turbo Remix" versions. But from the looks of the trailer this is another "Before SFIII" timeline.
