Don't get excited, it's ages away however whilst killing rumours of players paying for advantages Ono has confirmed that Street Fighter V is in early planning stages at Capcom. Presumably that puts it as 2016 at the earliest, it's shocking that SF4 is already 6 years old. Hopefully they take a fresh approach with SF5 given how milked 4 has been.

It's difficult to anticipate what they'll do with 5.
Whilst it did many of its own things, 4 started life as being closer to 2 than 3, in my book. For starters, it features the entire 2 cast, though several from 3 did work their way in (along with a fair few from Alpha). I'm not talking about the gameplay meta here but more the identity of the product; they lead with adverts showing fan-favourites like Blanka, Guile, Chun Li etc.
5 could break away and try something new, like the Alpha/Zero series or 3 but I think they've hit onto mass market again and Capcom will want to keep that.
Personally, I'd love to see them go 3D/2D in a vein similar to the new Guilty Gear.

To be fair, he's a "named figure" - in that many people around the industry know who he is by name. He's in the perfect position to go to a stupidly highly paid job at a mobile gaming company, then succeed or fail he'll earn half a million in two or three years (potentially many times that if he strikes it lucky), and if/when it tanks, go back to Capcom or someone similar. It seems to be the trend right now, if you have a name and background big enough to prise a couple of million quid out of a venture-capitalist's wallet by saying "CANDY CRUSH MILLION BILLION DOLLARS" a lot.
