Sfv flopped so hard it almost killed the series with fans so embarrassed by it they migrated to other games to avoid being made fun online and at locals
Despite this sf6 managed to not only bring the series back but also reinstate sf as the undisputed king of the fgc, destroying games like tekken 8 that had a huge momentum carrying over from the last gen, unlike sf6

Boasting the highest peaks in players and views in fighting game history and With over 5 millions copies sold in 2 years, more than doubling its predecessor and comfortably knocking out its competitors, this game is ushering a new golden age for Capcom fans worldwide
