When did Street Fighter stop being the best fighting game in the world?
never happened
As far I know no 2D fighting game is better than 3S.And I say this as SNK fan.
At no point that counts as retro, that's for sure...
KOF 96
>>11507923Some time around VF2 and Tekken 3
It never stopped being the best fighting series.
>>11507923When Virtua Fighter 2 came out.
When Samurai Shodown came out. It's truly a better game in every single way.
>>11507937is makoto getting fucked
>>11507923Probably during the EX days. I loved those games but they weren't great 3D fighters.
>>11507937no
>>11507923When you lost your innocence
>>11507923When SF3 first appeared in arcades and bombed hard.
>>11507923Never happened, that's you being a super homo.
>>11508232>Sean naturally BTFO
>>11507923Seriously speaking, which of the two has the best fighting games?
>>11507923Friday the 13th, October 1995
>>11507967Correct answer.
>>11507923>When did Street Fighter stop being the best fighting game in the world?With the release of Dead Or Alive 2 or Super Smash Bros. Meleeobsoleted Capcom's and traditional fighting game design philosophies
>>11508536SNK fighting games look like shit and sound like shitRunning is a good mechanic and better than being limited to dashes
>>11508392That graph is from before Pachikasu became relevant in newton oyama
>>11508629Neo Geo is old hardware, you must understand.
>>11507923nothing's gonna stop us 'cuz it's 1998. lmao
>>11508629Before i judge you, tell me one SNK fighter that sounds like shit.
>>11508745KOF '98 and earlier for exampleI'm talking sfx and audio, not music (although they are indeed using primitive-sounding soundfonts, which is pretty much the problem)
>>11507923After Zero 2.
As a MK fan I would say they were neck and neck in 2d but by the time Deadly Alliance came out, SF may as well have disappeared. I couldn't tell you off hand what games they had at that time. My only experience with the franchise since has been rewatching youtube shorts of latest game's foot fetish character teasing chun li
>>11508232good thing tier lists aren't based strictly on tournament results
>>11509128that chart still accurately represents the Top 5 characters
When my brother didn't want to play it anymore.
>>11507923Tekken 3
>>11509190>>11509128That chart was all the tournament results on liquipedia.If it had been only tier 1 and 2 results it would have even less diversity.And tier lists are based on tournament results.
>>11509429>tier lists are based on tournament resultsno they aren'tthey're informed by tournament results
>>11508045thread over, this guy got it right.
>>11507923When Tekken, Virtua Fighter or Soul Blade/Soulcalibur came out. 3D fighting games mog 2D fighting games so hard, it's not even funny.>>11508056Yes, by me
>>11510947>3D fighting games mog 2D fighting games so hard, it's not even funnyThen why is Street Fighter more popular than Tekken these days?
>>11510953Popularity != Quality.
>>11509515at the end of the day winning is all that matters, and tournaments are the ultimate test of that.
>>11510957Tekken's clunky ass molasses gameplay is quality? Yeah fucking right. Shit's boring and slow.
>>11511268Tekken 8 has sped it upalso normalfaggots love soulsborne so this doesn't work how you think it does
>>11507923i always felt capcom fighters were kinda bland.but to answer your question around street fighter 3 as the series went on hiatus until SF4's resurgence but they were never able to properly capitalize on that resurgence outside of MVC3...>SFxT was a flop>nobody but tourneyfags cared about SF5>movie synergy killed MVCI
>>11508045The Last Blade > Samurai Shodown
When they started caring about long complex combos that have more place in an anime fighter rather than neutral
>>11512447The two aren't mutually exclusive (see the KoF or early GG series) but neutral was indeed ass in 5 especially.
They should go ahead and make a SF game where you can only play as Ken. All Kens through the years.
