It’s also only on PS and PC.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, just play GG Strive.

Do you play? Let’s battle. I bought it on release and not played much. Need to get used to it. Love that vampire samurai guy.

Don't have Strive unfortunately, glad people are enjoying it though, unfortunately I have less and less game time these days because painting my little plastic space marines is very nice for my brain and fun to do.

I need to build a new pc at summer point so will try to take a peek at Strive then, get on the Bedders now they are back in the game or something.

The thing that appeals most at the moment is getting in on day one and maybe getting some good matches in with badgers. Jumping into other games and getting stomped online by people who’ve been playing for ages isn’t really what I’m after.

The Badgers who played SF already will stomp you Day 1 on 6 unless they're nice and go easy. Tbh, the way to enjoy fighting games imho is to not worry about the win, say small goals in games and try to accomplish those while you're finding your feet in a particular game. Hit a particular bread and butter combo consistently, block or punish something consistently, maybe labs a combo into super consistently.

Although most Badgers in any game I've ever played will accommodate anyone new and not put the pressure on a new player, be that SF, KoF, GG or Tekken/SC, all of which I played with Badgers, and in the case of SF4, KoF and GG all of whom were really great showing me the ropes the first time I played with them when I was finding my feet in those games.

I guess I'm passionate about it because there are things that people enjoy in SF that you can find being done better in the other games available right now.

Want team battles? KoF, Skullgirls and DBFZ all got you covered.
Like to punch and kick and poke and block and play footsies in neutral? Tekken 7 boiiiii.
Want to pop cool supers and flashy moves? DBFZ or SC6 will get you going.
Do you want a lot of character variety? Smash Bros or GG or SC6 or Mortal Kombat have diverse rosters to keep you at the buffet.
Do you want to have the opportunity to really cute loose and go buck wild on someone when they really drop the ball? GG and T7 will let you really style on someone if thats your bag (GG even has a "get off me button" for use one or twice a match if youve had enough of watching your character getting the shit kicked out of them).
Want to play offline and unlock stuff and do single player stuff? MK or SC6 got that big big single player campaign content.
Do you like to play dress up? T7 or SC6 will keep you occupied like me and Escape for hours on end.

And so on and so forth. So many other companies, many smaller than Capcom have put so much more effort into titles and are so much more deserving of your time and money and than Street Fighter is currently. Capcom don't deserve your time or your money when it comes to their fighting game division at this point. Never forget these guys hid a rootkit in the anti cheat patch of SFV, never forget the gems in SFxTK, never forget the entirety of the first couple of years of SFV as a full price early access feature stripped title, never forget how they went from MvC3 - one of the most popular fighting game franchises ever and had MvCi dead on arrival. That have spent the last 5+ years just shitting out mistake after mistake for the most part.

For me I will mostly pay attention if you actually generate some intriguing character designs, which that SF6 leak roster is absolutely not really doing at all. Dry as fuck.

Buff Mary Portas is definitely the pick, but I'm also down for Bad Boxart Hugo.



Who looks a bit like a pained Chris Morris from a post-radiation British satire.

If the Caliburs logged hours I'd be horrified. I regret nothing.

One of the few I could approximate his voice for, with his Ooh, baby! and WHAT?!

I tried the Beta and didn't enjoy it, so won't be getting it.

And the backgrounds on these SF6 stages? Pretty decent. Much better than the character designs, anyway.

Fo sho'.

When fan art, based on a franchise spin-off, looks better to me than the franchise itself?
The fan art in question:



I don't even think the Street Fighter Duel art work is that good (Alpha 2 is still the peak for me). But it bricks on SF5 and 6.

It's all subjective, I guess. Many people are out here praising the SF6 art direction.

Even strive has taken a dive these days

Facts.

Evo, anyone?

Yeah that's brilliant!

Yeh. I’m meh. Right now anyway. Might catch up on best matches / Grand Finals of SFV and Strive once it’s all over.
