Executive producer of the Street Fighter series Yoshinori Ono said in a tweet that Street Fighter V is not possible due to lack of budget and staff.

In a separate tweet, Ono revealed that Capcom currently does not have plans to bring Ultra Street Fighter IV, which was announced earlier this week, to next-gen platforms “at this moment.”
PS3/360/PC at this moment. Thanks 😀 RT @warmlettuce: will Ultra Street Fighter IV be available on the new Playstation/Xbox systems?

Ultra Street Fighter IV will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC either as an update to Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition for $15 or as a standalone game for $40. Ultra Street Fighter IV will feature five new characters, new stages and rebalanced gameplay “based on fan feedback.”
With the announcement of Ultra Street Fighter IV, many wondered why a fifth installment wasn’t in the works. What do you think? Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook to let us know.
