I wouldn't play it again but it was way better than 6.
Release 5 was worse than 6 at the same time. But where we're at now, 5 was a way better game by this point.
By this time in 5, we were on a new edition. We had MAJOR changes such as DPs becoming meterless, input delay being almost halved, throw loops removed, new vtriggers and a bunch of other shit.
I'll tell you as a competitive player who has won many tournaments, we are still playing the same fucking game as day 1 for sf6. It's the same shitty broken ass fucking game. We have had ONE (1) major balance change in 3 fucking years, which is the recent parry change (actually a great change).
The only thing that gets changed in this game is character balance, which nobody should give a fuck about. Because it's all an illusion. The system balance is fucked. The reason character balance feels good is because the game is so offense-heavy and the system mechanics are so strong that as long as you're a top 15 or so character you can win. Because anyone can touch you once and put you in a death loop after they carry you 2/3rd of the screen off any touch.
The game is complete shit. It could be the best sf of all time if they just actually tried to rebalance system mechanics but they absolutely refuse. I talk to many pros from all over the world, some of the jap ones, america, europe. literally 9/10 of the guys you would recognize think it's a bad game. The 1/10 like it because it gels with their brainless playstyle. Problem is the Japs especially will never say this publicly because it jeopardizes the money they make from sfl. Dogura almost got cancelled just for saying he thought the game was bad. They started a petition to ban him from streaming because he could discourage new players from trying the game because he criticized it.
