How does it feel that we've been an entire console generation and Capcom put out two (2, II...

SF5 does kind of look jank.

The gameplay is also hit-and-miss. I have a greater appreciation for it now than I used to but there are still issues with its depth and general flow.

No that would be SF3's design. SF4 is like taking SF2 and exaggerating it because "this is what they'd look like in 3D".

Name a bigger downgrade than sfiv juri to sfv juri
also why did you pick the ugly ibuki costume for sfiv she's got plenty of actually good ones

SFIV is literally just a bastardization of SFII spires in 3d.
Its literally Zig Forumss definition of soulless.
At lest SFV had the decency to make them not just 3d versions of SFII characters.

Nobody said SFIV looked good until SFV came out, that tells you everything you need to know.

>Nobody new is picking up fighting games
>When entrants for big tournaments like evo, eco, and combo breaker has been growing every single year without exception
Why is it always niggers who don't play that spout this meme?

>4 looks even worse so everything that looks better is okay without exception.

SF4 is the ugliest game in the series. Why do you 09ers obsess over it.

5 is better than 4 desu.

They're eternally butthurt that they're not good enough to enjoy fighting games.

Not him, but that just means esports are bigger, not that new people are getting into the genre.

Because it's free replies from retard streamboars like you

>There's a reason smash is so popular
Autism. I’m a complete casual and can wreck smashfags in a game that actually requires combos

>There's a reason smash is so popular
>*opens Twitch*
>*sorts by viewers*
Fighting games are ded, but literally nobody gives a fuck about Smash. You have to scroll out of top 200 to find the game

See Those entrants aren't new players, but rather experienced and veteran players that are coming into the esports scene.

And still this shit looks worse than any other FG series out there.
Just admit nu-Street Fighter is trash.

>thinks twitch is an accurate measurement of popularity

People would rather play the game than watch it
Owned lol

She looks fine to me.
But i do admit her new game-play is hit or miss and her theme is the worst in the game.

Banana hair sucks, but I don't like Smash Ken, he looks like Simon Belmont in a gi.
I hope Capcom continues learning from their errors, and SF6 looks as good as it should without falling for the realism meme. The jump from 4 to 5 was nice, so they know what they're doing.

It is for e-sport games. They survive by their communities.

>sfv training mode picture uses tr4sh ryu render
what did they mean by this?

>"This literal measure of popularity isn't a measure of popularity."
kek
Turbo cope, the online is ded

I'd put my money on that Capcom will use RE Engine for it. I wonder why they didn't continue to improve MT Framework though, that engine was glorious.

What is it in that case?
I'll wait for this answer.

Ummm fighting games are the most alive they've relatively been since the actual golden age of SF2.

I can't even log in SFV because it doesn't recognize my keyboard for some reason and wants me to use a controller that I've never owned.

The most popular and most played trash apparently.
Explain to me why Smasho Kof And gran-blue are all dead right now.

Iv played all of them and at the end of the day SFV has the most solid mechanics and game-play of any non air-dash 2d figther.
Only game nearly as popular is DBFZ but thats entirely because of the DBZ name. Even MK despite selling a ton is not played as much it only got a resurgence of players recently because of the big update.
And SFV had no major updates in almost a year and still has comparable palyerbase.

but theres a huge growth in population from sfiv to sfv, from ttt2 to t7, to GGAC+R to Xrd. literally everything substantial points to fighting games growing every year and every release. the
>fightans are ded xD
is only spread by people who don't play them, and never will. since if you actually play any single one of them, you would see the growth year to year in every single metric imaginable.

>the follower counts
yikes! mental gymnastic replies incoming.

Smash Ultimate outsold every fighting game ever and the only one that's close is SFII which counts all versions across all platforms.

As long as they don't try to turn Street Fighter into diet Kekken, I'm fine with it. The engine itself is good. And the art team was autistic enough to make hands and feet of characters as large as they were since Alpha because muh visibility, so I doubt they'll ever deviate from the cartoonish look.

what kind of degenerate watches fighting games outside of tournaments?

no one is online, why don't you look again when people are on?

Mango alone had like 6k the other day.

So more people liked Smash for 5 minutes due to character meme shit? Wow. Where are all these people now?

Considering how much Smash Ultimate sold, it's only natural. You'd better ask yourself why it doesn't dominate others in day to day viewers, as it damn should.

they survive by their tournements and irl matchups. Granted, the pandemic has put a wrench in most of those lately.
a measure of twitch shill funds and how popular individual twitch 'personalities' are. It's far more reflective of individual channel popularity than it is the popularity of the games themselves.

And nobody plays it or watches it.
Wow. What a great and popular game!

?
6k is still garbage

Nigga work on your bait, you can't go
>DBZ is only popular cause brand name
And willfully ignore that about fucking street fighter.
