Vappas getting rowdy again, huh? Today, too, I will remind them. Remind them of how 2 of the best USF4 players in the world at the time faced each other in the final and most polished version of that game and this was the result:

In case you need a guide to parse what's going on there, you're watching a vortex monster VS. a pure gimmick character. These players both have world-class SF fundamentals, yet the nature of SF4 urges them to play this way. Such a sad waste of raw skill. Now, let's compare that to the same players on the first version of SFV, before any rebalancing and before good players had the time needed to hone their skills.

Notice that, even then, the game resembled traditional Street Fighter clearly. You see more reactions, reads, players finally being rewarded for dedicating so much to this series for so long. One recognizes the other's strength, win or lose, on an even playing field, and with coherent rules. You are not wrestling against the game's bad balance or its poorly implemented mechanics. It's a battle of wits and reflexes, you versus the enemy. To think that SFV still got exponentially better over the years, yet some people still don't recognize its merits, only because their perception of fighting games is forever warped by a bad entry in the series, is almost depressing. I truly hope time and maturity reach you eventually, vappa, and you stop being so angry and delusional.
