if any other series had a launch as bad as this it would have killed the franchise and possibly the company
>>738406651That's the upside of having a legacy to fall back on. It gives you some wiggle room. Also it took like 5 years for them to finally patch it to a playable state
>>738406651it did almost kill the franchise but people bought the microtransactions
>>738406651It's astounding how quickly the Street Fighter series went from consistently releasing some of the best fighting games ever made to being a trash factory making games that aren't ever worth playing. 5 had patches and version updates and shit, but some of those changes were for the worse, and the good ones weren't enough to turn things around.
it did legitimately get good by the end. did anyone here buy this on launch? i did and it legit killed my interest in fighting games for years until tekken 7
>>738406651Cyberpunk survived a worse launch with CDPR being a smaller company and it wasn't even an established franchise
>>738406798Every SF keeps attempting to alienate the previous audience. Eventually you wise up and move on.
Huh?
>>738406651it was legit so bad it made me try other fighting games.I still remember the day when it launched while I was in japan. Iw as literally the only fucking retard who bought the game in a particular store in akihabara at the time. people were trying it out on displays but no one was buying it.I arrived at my dorm to play it and it was just really fucking awful. Went back next day and traded in for something else.
>>738408394its the first and last fighting game i pre ordered. fucking garbage game, i don't care what schizos think nowadays
all street fighters launch with fuck all content and weird balance and get better over time.SF3 was a fucking bomb but but everyone sucks off 3rd strike.Vanilla SFV wasn't even that bad, just reddit hivemind woke up on the wrong foot that day.
>>738408394>it was legit so bad it made me try other fighting games.it was so bad it made everyone try other fighting games. no one would of played tekken or gg (regarding main stream fg audiences) if it wasn't for SFV's massive flop.
>>738406651dont care, best SF.
It seemed to work out fine for No Man's Sky
>>738408827>Vanilla SFV wasn't even that badyes it was that fucking bad
>>738408315>SF6 is already 2/3s of the way through SFV's all time sales in half the time with half the content updates.
>>738406651Pokémon did it.
>>738408827SFV launched with a shitload of imput lag, broken as fuck crush counters and attack priority system and near-non functional online play, it didnt even have an arcade mode so neither people who are fans of this series or casualfags had any reason to play this game.the small launch roster wasnt even the biggest of its issues.
>yes it was that fucking bad
>broken as fuck crush counters and attack priority systemlol
>>738406651Launch wasn't even that bad>no arcade modeWho the fuck plays arcade mode>server issuesoverblown
reminder that launch SFV is better than SF6 will ever be.
>>738406651World's First E-Sports Fighting Game had worse gameplay experience than SF3 and that game killed SF for a decade.
>>738409578They turned SF into Smash.
>>738406651chun's thighs saved it
Capcom is not a western studio to put all their eggs in one basket with the success of a fighting game but I guess we're going to pretend they are.
it's ok, sony paid for V and re remakes and monster hunter paid for 6
>>738406651Really shows you just how many people are submissive fucjs that do what their told rather than make their own decisions. People ignore logic and reason when you point at the big company mistakesPeople LOOK for a the smallest reason for why they wont play the other game(s)
>>738409838TRUKE
>>738406651Unironically.MKfags and Tekkenfags don't know how much worse things can get, not saying MK1 and T8 aren't trash in their own right but SFV on launch was on another level, some of the most absurd shit I've ever seen.
>>738406651I'm so glad SFV is now a distant memory. The shills will never convince me that this pile of crap was ever good.
>>738406798It's not. You just don't know your history. SF has always had its ups and downs. Even during the glory days of the 90s, you still had shit like Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, and the EX titles being launched alongside SF2 and Alpha. The early 2000s gave us Fighting Jam. It's always ups and downs
-capcom were well aware of the game having issues at launch-capcom launched the game with a support road map they strictly adhered to-capcom said they would support the game until 2020 which they did way beyond thatAnyways. Best Street Fighter game.
>>738411989But it was good after a year or two of patches. You sound like one of those many casual fans who played the game at launch, gave up on it because it was a bad vanilla experience, and never gave it another chance. SFV ended up being a great game by the end, better than SF4 and at least on par with the current state of SF6
Why do people keep saying "at launch" when - The game still has terrible Netcode functionality that was built on top of the games frame pacing and it cannot be fixed making it worse than Delay Based Netcode Games- The game was "bad" for 90% of its life. The game is just alright now. It will go down as one of the worse fighting games of all timeShit is still bad today. Who the fuck told you the last patch made SFV good?!?!?!
>>738412257they probably keep saying that because you are full of shit and its way better than delay netcope.
>>738412257Because SFV was fun to play unlike SF6. You can add great netcode, battlehub and online options but SF6 core mechanics and gampelay is fucking trash.
>>738412257Literally nobody played it day one on launch. The game costs like $5 with the upgrade on playstation. The current version is how the game is known.
>>738412257It was bad for about 15% of its life and the netcode is fine. You're a faggot
>>738411729Menat was so over the top galaxy brained for a Street Fighter character that her hour long combos were forgivable. She was definitely the turning point of the game where things began to improve. SF6 has yet to reach that stage and it's reaching the end of its third season.
if any other series had a game as bad as this it would have killed the franchise and possibly the company
>>738412005Consistently as in 2, 3 and 4 were all excellent. I don't care that some typing spin-off for kindergarteners was disappointing. The Movie The Game was literally a movie tie-in and mostly seemed like an attempted cash grab for the Mortal Kombat audience. EX was similarly their attempt at wowing anyone who bought Tekken just because it's 3D. 5 marks the end of ever expecting a mainline numbered Street Fighter game to be worth playing.
everybody who lists SF2,3 and 4 together is a larping 09er who is butthurt that 5 killed his first fighter he watched on twitch.tv instead of playing.bonus secondary larp points for leaving out alpha.
the guy here desperate to convince people 5 is better than 6 is one of my favorite gimmick posters
>>738413680Original Super 2 sucked so much that the devs had to bring back turbo to get people to come back before the series died during its infancy. Alpha was not a competitive game outside of maybe Alpha 2. 3 series sucked dick until Third Strike, and most people still wouldn't even bother because 3 cut most of 2's cast. 4 AE was an overpriced, unbalanced mess that was rightfully shat on from the day of its announcement.It was for these reasons that people continued to stick with 5 even during its worst days and still stick with 6 in its current state.
>>738414171its obviously better. you even posted one great example of a character who got his complete identity raped because everything needs to be butchered to work with moron controls.
>>738414304this is a really good gimmick for farming (you)'s man. mind if i steal it?
>>738414171At least 5 Alex plays like he should. Don't like how he looks? Change his skin. You've got half a dozen to choose from.
>>738414380you wouldnt be able to pull it off because you dont play fighting games.
>>738414410i have 700 hours in sf5, i think i could be pretty convincing. i endured that piece of shit for way too long lol
>>738414171SFV in its current state is better than SF6 in its current state.And that's the double truth, Ruth
>>738414446so you "played" for like, two months?
people didnt even care about the gameplay rape of SF6 alex because it was overshadowed by secondaries talking about muh lore.thats the SF6 audience.
>>738406760SFV was good as early as the end of Season 1 and Excellent by the time Arcade Edition came out.
>700 hours is not enoughhonestly these new larpers are pretty fucking funny. they don't even try to be convincing.there are people here defending how alex played in 3s and 5 as if he isn't one of the worst designed fighting game characters in history, definitive proof of larping
>>738414606>as early as the end of Season 1ehhh as a SFV defender I wouldn't say it was actually good until season 3
>>738414171Final version SFV is better than current SF6. Will SF6 end up being the better game? I hope so, but it's not there yet. And the other anon already beat me to the punch in pointing out the irony in you including a pic of Alex when Capcom absolutely ruined him in 6
>bro i miss when alex's kit made no sense and didn't even function properly. modern capcom RUINED one of the greatest characters ever!
>>738414641yeah its not enough. its something anybody should easily get shortly after launch.you also dont know shit about alex, which you already made obvious with your original post.
>>738414581people always used to doompost about how every character would get ruined in SFV. meanwhile SF6 has raped plenty of characters like bison and sagat and no one cares.
Well, you know>gruntsthe thing about Street Fighter 5>scratches assthat most people tend to forget>pops a squatis while early on it wasn't>clenches the buttholeQUITE up to standard>farts loudlyby the end of its lifetime>sweats profusely and bleeds out the noseit was actually a pretty darn good game>shits the diaper
>>738414736it made sense though.your secondary is showing
>>738414171>UHM ACKSHUALLY 6 is better than V because... because Alex looks bad!OK retard. Meanwhile every single fucking character in 6 looks like a ghoulish, fucked up version of what they are supposed to be.
>>738414743explain to me why sf5 alex is good and why sf6 alex is bad then. what did they rape?
>>738414736How did it NOT make sense you stupid faggot?
5 is better than 6 in terms of gameplay and soul.6 completely blows it out in terms of QoL and netcode though.
dude i love sf5. i definitely didn't shit on it every day during its life span until sf6 came out and then started pretending it was good. this is a real opinion i have
>>738414896That's cool. I've liked SFV since AE and hated SF6 since day 1.
I will forever be mad at sf6 for changing sagat.I fucking hate that the current version of sagat feels more like ken larping as sagat.
>>738414896>I am a contrarian retard who has not had a single original thought in years so EVERYONE must be the same as me!
>>738414818locking the whole character behind a meme gimmick gamble stance just because the original character had too many specials for modern controls is dog awful you shiteater.charge elbow spacing is completely out of the window now.the whole character essence is gone now and you are defending it. whats next? gonna tell me how great the butchering of SF6 sagat was?
>>738414896you know unlike SF6 SFV actually had lobbies and tournaments here.people liked the game.
>>738414935oh you didn't like it since launch? you must be a secondary. they RAPED vega. THEY MOLESTED HIM AND CAME ON HIS FACE. how can you defend the RAPE of a classic sf2 character?
>>738414992>charge elbow spacing is completely out of the window now.only if you're bad
>>738414652Does this mean Tekken 8 has a chance?
>>738415081retarded
>>738406760It's actually a bit amusing how a majority of SF's "goodwill" is built upon millenials/boomers nostaliafagging over playing SF2 one time in an arcade, zoomers probably seeing it through online flash games, one moment from third strike and the rest of it carried by hardcore people during SF4. If I had to ratio it, it'd be like >40% nostalgia>10% zoomers>30% Moment 37>20% SF4
>>738414992>locking the whole character behind a meme gimmick gamble stancebut enough about vega in 5
SF6 is genuinely one of the worst fighting games ever made.
>>738415025>SFV actually had lobbies and tournaments hereI think that says more about the health of the website's community since then.
>>738415092it all depends on the developers' attitude. it helps when the community has a negative reaction like tekken's has, but at the end of the day it's about the devs' pride and competency
>>738415143nah. granblue has lobbies and tournaments still. at least it had them a year ago when I still checked the general.
>>738415092Seeing how people applauded the S3 changes so much they immediately hopped back on hopium AND it led to a Kazuya (read: an actual hard character) winning an actual major tournament for once, this has been more than true.
>>738415132absolute nonsense
>>738415192They still post lobbies regularly in /gbvsg/ too, yes.
>>738415143Strive and Granblue generals still have lobbies and tournaments. Street Fighter and Tekken are just breeding grounds for rampant shitposting now.
SF6 killed so many chargers, TAP/button hold inputs and hands/electricity.Its genuinely fucked up.
>>738415273all the people who liked SF and Tekken stopped playing with the newest dogass entries.whats left are the ones who keep praising those games but dont actually play them, which is fucking bizarre.at least soivers put their money where their mouths are and play.
These threads are just never ending shit flinging with no one making any actual points.I don't like the drive system because it forces retarded hyper aggro.>round start drive rushFuck off with that.Almost every knockdown turns into strike throw shimmy mixup since drive rush lets you close the gap and every character has itWithout a knockdown you can still force a strike throw shimmy mixup because you can just do cr.mk into DR for fireball DR.Parry basically fucking nullifies high low and left right mixup potential because its a unidirectional block button.At least the stuff like this in SFV was locked behind needing to build V-meter
>>738408315SFV was the worst street fighter to ever be released besides 1, which I don't really count.
>>738415395"I never played 3 on release": the post
My biggest problem with SF6 is that there are basically no meterless plus frames. Drive Rush is such a lame and cheesy mechanic, and all the plus frames are locked behind it. Plus, some characters just have a terrible impotent DR and feel awful to play as a result, like Manon.
>>738415367>all the people who liked SF and Tekken stopped playing with the newest dogass entries.sf6 has the highest playerbase in fighting game history and all the veteran sf players still play it to this day. i can watch haitani, tokido, nuckledu, fuudo etc play sf at every single tournament. i don't like drive rush either but cmon don't fucking lie dude lmao
>>738415509I'm talking about 4chan here, retard.And the games situation in the west is pretty dire too. Its just active in japan right now because it blew up with casuals, while the pros have to shill it because they are literally on capcoms payroll.
>>738415509He means the anons who post here, not pros cashing in on SF6's fat paycheck compared to everything that came before it
>>738415509I think he means the people on this websiteBut it's more like they fucked off to play elsewhere if Broski is any indicator. Who wants to be associated with the playerbase here?
>>738415275guile, chun, blanka, honda, bison still have all their charge inputs at least. i do hate that they seem to be moving away from charge in general, but there are still at least a few users in the game. hold inputs were cool, and are still in the game on characters like marisa. i never liked mash inputs though
>>738415395Nope, """Street Fighter""" 6 is, and people are eating it up so it will never actually get any better because retards love their slime and their throw loops.
>>738415601broski just doesnt want to get a real job.him being the biggest western streamer for this game is actually beyond dire and shows how fucked the situation is.
this board is really contrarian on every single topic huh
>>738415435I played 3 only a handful a times when it first came out in arcades before the 2nd impact update came out, but I played it enough to know the game was good. I mean I was 12, but the game was good.
>>738406651Thank God Ono got fired.
>>738415710Can you stop being a vagueposting faggot and actually say something about whatever you are referring to?
>>738415618bison lost his core specials charge input. another raped character.and marisas holds arent anything like TAP or Zonk knuckle. you cannot have those in a game with moron inputs. its the most homogenizing force.
>>738415650It's retarded how bad other content creators are. Like all Broski has to do is act chill and have a sense of humor and meanwhile 90% of other videos have no charisma in how they present information or opinions like cheap self help books.
>>738415806what about ed's hold inputs
>>738415710You can tell how hive minded we are since people are arguing about it.
>>738415817nobody is doing stuff anymore because interest in SF6 is down the gutter.streams and youtube videos are completely down compared to past games until the japanese log on.
>>738415806bison lost psycho crusher?
>>738415710this says way more about you.
ITT: /vg/ cucks seething that their shitty first fighting game died
>>738415393I wouldn't mind Drive Rush if the game had traditional meterIt's essentially just a (universal) command run you can't block in and it's not that bad if you can check it. Unfortunately drive rush into special/whiff throw as well as some hitboxes make that super fucking annoying.>>738415449The few plus on block normals that are in the game fucking suck as well (except Sagat standing medium punch)If you get a spaced +2 then pressing anything is a gamble and even pressing nothing hoping they whiff so you can punish is rolling the diceI don't understand why moves that are so commital give so little plus frames
>>738415367I remember the people who wouldnt swap to sf5 when it was objectively actually a dogshit game. Their careers literally evaporated and they became literal whos trying to stick to USF4(the best street fighter of all time)
>>738412627>Literally nobody played it day one on launch.you're so fucking stupid bro
>>738406651fighting games are dead and this piece of shit was not a success. selling it for $2 every other week does not make it a sales success.
>>738415132Yeah, it's the same thing. Capcom seems determined to change their charge characters into unnecessary stance characters. They did it to Vega in SFV, and now they're doing it to Chun and Alex in 6. I don't know who at Capcom thought this was a good idea or why it keeps happening, but someone needs to remind Capcom that "stance" is offputting for most people and should only be reserved for highly technical, advanced characters, not your big dumb fan favorite brawlers like Alex
>>738415449I honestly hate frametraps, so at least with drive rush you have to spend resources.
>>738415850also different, because he is rooted in place and locked into that move.TAP and Zonk are different because they require you to hold and thus sacrifice buttons while charging the buttons.With TAP that is three punches, and with Zonk its one button. Now with how modern works with its single row of buttons you'd have to sacrifice twice as many buttons for the same moves. They will obviously never let that fly.>>738415908scissors is his main special and thats motion now. psycho crusher is way more situational but that one is charge still.
>>738415940ITT: anon gets mad at differences in opinon
>>738415973nobody stuck to sf4 lmao
>>738415973>USF4(the best street fighter of all time)lmao
>>738415940honestly this makes sense that a lot of peoples first fighting game would be 5 or 4 considering the average demographic of this site is probably mid 20s-early 30s. i know i'm an 09er for sure. but its still weird to see people who think 5 is better than 6 because outside of this place i have never seen anyone share that opinion. i like 5 too for the most part, well not on launch. but by arcade edition it was pretty fun. i think the v-system is way more cancerous than the drive gauge though and i'm surprised people think otherwise here. like drive rush is clearly overpowered but its about on the same level as alpha 3 custom combos or fadc
>>738415618Blanka doesn't matter when they turned the motherfucker into a setplay character. WHY? He couldn't stay as the more agile defensive character? He just HAS to have traps now?
>>738415797>a sound guy who got over promoted beyond his competency level to where he is now directing entire SF titlesHe's a real world Michael Scott
>>738416127>on the same level as alpha 3 custom combosso, insanely broken?
>>738416051dont be retarded the vega "stance" has fuckall to do with that.vega was already two different characters with claw and clawless and they simply made them more different.
I miss when SF had fireballs
>>738416104There are plenty of pro sf4 players who simply refused to play sf5.
>>738416115Was watching Kemonomichi stuff just before the big Daigo vs Mena match and I got to Tokido vs Kawano. I was laughing my ass off when they kept whiffing buttons in front of each other. Stubby wasn't an understatement.
>>738416115get a job nubi
>>738416234yeah, there definitely were plenty of SF4 wash-outs who couldn't keep up
Anyone who can't accept that late stage SFV is mechanically the best SF has ever been doesn't play fighting games
>>738416125It really is the best of everything, minus el fuerte.
>>738416229>vega was already two different characters with claw and clawlessHe never had different moves between claw and clawless until SFV. He would just lose a little bit of range and defense. Have you never actually played SF or are you just retarded?
>>738416206broken on the same level as mechanics have always been in sf games, yes. every sf game has always had overpowered centralizing system mechanics outside of maybe 2 (unless you count stun)
>>738416127you gotta be retarded if you think drive is better than anything and completely out of touch if you never see people call 5 better.
>>738408315It's crazy that the topic says launch and your retarded ass is talking about year 7 sales.
>>738415940>retarded dixxer tries to pull the "le first fighting game" gotcha while defending an even NEWER gameYou people are truly beyond fucking stupid.>>738416127V-Triggers were realistically usable once per fight, were completely unique to each character and by the end of the game's life you had 2 to choose from.Slime shit is perfectly capable of robbery, it is universal and homogenizes the cast and their play style, it is available the second the match starts and it automatically recharges itself, and last I heard it was literally broken in the sense that it ate inputs (doubt they fixed that)Explain to me how the fuck is the latter supposed to be better.
>>738416297You mean all of the SFV pros that instantly jumped to SF6 and trashed on SFV the entire time? Maybe I'm biased because the people I watched would constantly talk about how bad SFV is/was, and I simply was never exposed to people praising and missing SFV.
COTW won.
>>73841642316er meltdown
>>738416358saying that FADC and V-ISM are on the same level is ludicrous. you're literally just stringing words together with no understanding behind them. you are an LLM. I choose to disengage.
>>73841644923er asshurt
>>738416423>(doubt they fixed that)they did fix it and also nerfed drive rush overhead in the last patch, its still strong but its not nearly as bad as it was
>>738416290remember reddits favorite, poongko?fucking lmao.
Id rather deal with any other mechanic besides crush counters.
>>738416358no SF game ever had universal mechanics as overbearing and as game smothering as 6.its not even close.
>>738416458i was just naming the system mechanics from the previous games before 5 to explain that every game always had strong system mechanics that the game was centralized around. obviously v-ism is 1000x more broken than fadc in actuality though. i worded it poorly. my bad
My biggest issue with both SFV and SF6 is that the games tease you with brief moments of "real street fighter" gameplay.You have to either burn meter or use a install mode super to get access to the version of your character that plays like their prior incarnations. Or in the case of SF6 both players would be in burn-out before they can play a traditional SF style of gameplay. I really wish someone would do a massive mod/hack of either one of the games.Also personal gripe: the rounds are just too damned long.
SF6 is one of the worst fighting games ever made.
>zoning is now about convincing the opponent to hold down back so you can set up your tool to get in with +frames so you can force a strike/throw/shimmySF6 has homogenized characters even further than SFV has.Everyone just wants to get in and force a strike/throw/shimmy 50/50
>>738416502they didnt actually fix it.they only let you buffer jump out of DR freeze but DR will still eat most inputs.
>>738416591>both players waste Heat>you can finally play Tekkenwhy are modern devs like this?
>>738416430Sandford Kelly is not an "SFV pro"
>>738416591>Also personal gripe: the rounds are just too damned long.the main complaint about sf6 is that the rounds are short as fuck though lol. like bo3 sets end in like 5 minutes lol
>>738416652sanford also admitted that he only championed 6 despite not playing it and when he did play it he dropped it really fast lmao
>>738406651people still played it because at its core it was still street fighter6 is truly a piece of dog shit coated in gold paint to fool casuals
>>738409473Spent decades playing this series but this was the point where I just couldn't stomach it anymore.
>>738416606what a beautiful neutral game being played out. Maybe fighting games aren't for you. None of those actions are free. They are spending a resource.
>>738416591>You have to either burn meter or use a install mode super to get access to the version of your character that plays like their prior incarnations.nonsense.
>>738416606>parries and command dashes are bad nowno one tell sf3 players this
>>738416793terrible bad faith dogshit post.kys asap.
>>738416606>turn-based RPG.webmnobody tell this retard about frame advantage
>>738416869I think you're out of your depth here.
>>738416869SF6 has no plus frames outside of green slime mode.
>>738416840sounds like you can't refute it. sf6 is your ideological enemy. you are like the japanese soldier who still thinks he's fighting in ww2
hate sf6
>>738416927and thats a good thing. You don't get to spam your overpowered normals and abuse constant plus frame pressure without spending a resource or risking a slow move.
>>738416297I feel like Makoto has the strongest feet of all the SF characters.
>>738416932kys
what fucking command dashes in 3? ibuki? lmao retards just throwing around terms.
>>738416754SFV Akuma is this exact thing
>>738416793sf3 players think parries are retarded toobut the game is fun
>Retards bitch and moan about then recent SF title>Yet somehow refuse to play other fighters.Someone explain this shit to me.
>>738417518KOFXV is the only modern fighting game I would play and the online is deader than disco unless you want to play against 50 year old mexicans that TOD you
>>738409473Jesus that looks like the game hasn't fully loaded yet.
>>738417518thats because you are low iq.
>>738417606your imagination is supposed to fill in the gaps
>>738417518I play FC titles and occasionnaly hop on usf4/V/+R (I'm actual poop at this one tho) when a friend pings me for games
>>738417597How this is different from discord fighters?
>>738406651There are tons of examples of worse launches where that wasn't true. Final Fantasy 14 immediately comes to mind as one, particularly because they actually managed to turn it into one of their core profit generators.
Does Fightcade drop inputs? I keep getting stuff like doing button -> EX special and getting non-EX to come out. I'd be happy to assume the input is just more strict and it's a skill issue if I was playing stick, but I'm on pad and using shortcuts. It should be literally impossible for me to not be hitting both buttons at once for the EX.
>>738418840training mode in fightcade has input display enabled see if you mess stuff up there.fightcade shouldnt be dropping inputs for turd strike. its just common in super turbo because of frameskip.
>>738406651I wish SF6 had a shitty launch so capcom gave a fuck enough to update the gameI've been playing the same fucking patch for years except now I do a bit less damage as Luke

>>738419849name what you dislike about a bottom tier honest character I'd love to hear this
>>738420036Luke deserves to be bottom tier for the entirety of SF6 to pay for his sins in SFV.
>>738420036>luke>bottom tiershoto retards won't ever stop being hilarious
>>738420181yeah you're every bit the faggot I expected
>>738414896>dude you can't say piss is better than shit because you were saying piss was bad until shit came out
>he's a pissfag
>>738406798you have no fucking idea what you are talking about, both 3 and 4 were trashed at release
>>738406651You're forgetting the whole SFxTekken on disc dlc fiasco? The pay to win gems?That was far more egregious and slammed by everyone, dooming that game to fail. Ironically SFxT is actually pretty fucking good with the final patch and it's clear a fuckload of resources was poured into it unlike V.
>>738414171It's like everybody forgot every fucking thing that was added to SFV had to get emergency patched later. Even the fucking character models. I still remember when V Skill and Trigger 2s were added everybody acted as though Capcom personally shot their dog because of how horribly balanced or awful they were initially. The only mechanic V added that people didn't hate off the jump was V-Shift and V-Break and that was 6 years in.>>738414397I'm an Alex main. Every time I saw his stance in V I wanted to off myself. 6 is a god send by comparison.
>>738414992As if V didn't gate him bad enough already removing moves or locking them behind fucking V Triggers.>the whole character essence is gone now and you are defending itGiven how awful he was for most of V, I'll deal. Nothing's stopping me from playing him in 3rd Strike or TvC, the latter of which is arguably the best his old moveset had ever been utilized.
>>738414674>Will SF6 end up being the better game?It won'tAll the things you rightfully hate about it are also the reasons thousands of retards love it. It is never getting better, what you see is what you get.It will also have less characters total in the end since shit eaters accepted 4 character season passes """"because the characters are very high quality in comparison"""" or some other idiotic excuse.
>>738422456>6 is a god send by comparison.I'm an Alex main as well, and while he certainly LOOKS much better in SF6, I feel like Capcom completely ruined him with the redesign and I can't stand his new moveset. This is the first game where I genuinely don't enjoy playing Alex. I would take french fry hair and backward limb SFV Alex over this stance faggotry any day.
>>738422808>tvcI like how he fucks gold lightan's face when he does stun gun headbutt on him
>>738416741Here's a pity (You) Anon, I think this was an OK shitpost even if a bit too obvious.
