you're being lied to by different groups trying to spread what they think SHOULD be true, so I'll give it to you straight.
Street Fighter 6 is 100% designed for casuals and newbies. Everything about the design and presentation is meant to capture people who were aware of fighting games but never really got into them for one reason or another. The slogan might as well be "you can actually PLAY this one!!"

Your opinion isn't worthless, since you're actually playing the game and you're curious about the past games. Before SF6, and before 5 really, fighting games were pretty niche. They were for people who liked playing 1v1 since that was all you could really do. This retard >537801331 doesn't know how fighting games used to be before the big esportification. The people playing these games when the community was small were ONLY playing it for fun, ranked wasn't as big of a deal in most games. It was an option, but people cared more about having fun in a game they like.

Street Fighter 6 saved a lot of niggas who were gameless but still wanted to be in the FGC. That's why you have so many people desperately defending it here every single day. If you shit on a random game like karnovs, nobody will care. Shit on blazblue, well what version? Its got ten years of updates and nobody liked all of them. Shit on SF6, you just fucked up. The people scrambling to tell you how things were in the past are desperately trying to make it look like SF6 saved the genre, because it saved them. They want you to know that SF6 is great and SF6 is good. Praise SF6.

That said, it is more like a product, because they are treating it that way. They created a game that casuals can play and pretend to be playing a fighting game. The balance adjustments are solely for removing fun and skill, and are so few and far between because they don't want to spend money or effort. 99% of content is tshirts for your avatar. The game itself is perfectly shit, they want to coast like this now.
