Literally all that DryEyeRelief does in FGC threads is troll. I actually don't think I've seen him do anything else on GAF. Good job taking the bait, everyone.
Are you surprised that GAF loves to talk about SF5 but not play it?
Fun fact: Not only does SF5 bridge the gap between SF2 and SF3, but the final battle BGM bridges the gap between Ryu's SF2 and SF3 themes. You probably won't notice it in game though because the fight ends too quickly.
It's the reverse: the timeline is hamstrung by the roster.
Fighting games tend to get a lot of pushback from fans if the popular characters from previous installments don't return. So, you'll see a lot of the same faces return time and time again, hardly anyone dies, and even those who do can be brought back. As a result, the motives and relationships between the characters don't often advance forward in any meaningful, permanent capacity, and both the roster and the story itself tend to stagnate quite a bit.
SF4 and SF5 occupy the space between SF2 and SF3 because that gives the most canonically consistent access to the entire roster.
It definitely flopped in the arcade.
It was supposed to be the flagship title for Capcom's CPS3 arcade board, but it was such a non-starter that they actually went ahead and made another entry in the Street Fighter Alpha series after SF3's release just to continue supporting their far more successful CPS2 board.
