Should I purchase this game? I'm tired of Tekken 8 and it's bullshit.

Anyone playing it?

https://youtu.be/CyZmKChZBV4?si=HUa3u27j5psMfOUn

if you hate mixupslop and constant pressure this game isn't going to help you, you better off dropping fighting games until tekken 8 season 3

>>715976727
>until tekken 8 season 3
Why? Did they make another empty promise the game would improve?

no. it wasn't really made with fun in mind. if you're not total dogshit, you're gonna get bored and annoyed real quick

>>715976979
they supposedly fired dei hires from the balancing team and rehired the oldheads, so it might get better in season 3, who knows

>>715976313 (OP)
This game has the same problems as T8 but for some reason people don't care about it in this game.

SF6 a really, really gay game. No artist there can do masculinity for some reason. Maybe a gay manager of art hired only gays. Maybe a gay exec said he wants to be able to transition any character at any time to a different gender. Maybe both.

>>715977330
capcom cultism is real

No. It's not a fun game and you'll hate playing games in general if you force yourself to like it.

The DLC characters are usually broken on release so unless you buy them and use them, you can expect to lose a lot until they are patched (and Capcom made their money).

Just stick with Tekken, SF is basically the same shit at this point.

>>715977330
More than double the players online at any given time. I guess you're right

>>715976727
>>715977330
SF6 doesn't have degenerate left right mixups and is almost entirely footsie based and doesn't have thousands of moves to learn like Tekken. It's objectively the best fighting game if you like neutral

It's kinda fun as a beginner and then it starts getting increasingly annoying until you're kind of consistent at it.

Very stressful game. There's like five different reaction checks you need to be constantly ready for on top of the constant tug of war in neutral, and being on defense at any point is a nightmare. People still love to overstate how bad it is- you're rarely 100% obligated to hold pressure, you still end up playing neutral a lot of the time, but there was clear effort to nerf turtling and force some interaction.

>>715976313 (OP)
its the worst fighting game ever so i would not recommend it

>>715980940
>It's objectively the best fighting game if you like neutral
LOL

>>715980940
>>715977438

>>715981278
I mean you can stand still the whole round and win.

>>715980940
SF6 has zero footsies and neutral. Stop using terms you don't understand, Capcom dick sucker.

>>715980979
I also think it feels really good to play, though. It looks great and feels very responsive. I'd say, fun to pick up casually, if you REALLY try to git gud you're going to live in misery for a bit though

>>715981418
t. never played SF6

>>715981507
I am glad you used this without the meme arrow

I play exclusively single player World Tour and I enjoy it

Is there a single current fighting game people are actually satisfied with? You guys don't seem to like anything at all goddamn.

>>715977330
if you unironically believe that statement you never played either tekken 8 or sf6 for more than 5 hours

>>715981928
Literally no lol

The ones people claimed to like mechanically that would Save Fighting Games all flopped and all of the ones remaining have either modern controls, are otherwise simplified or have coinflip aggression which makes people mad

>>715981928
the current ones are garbage, so no wonder people are angry all the time

>>715981928
afaik people like uni2 but when someone wants to win the argument they say it's a dead game

Strive was cool, but the netplay permanently turned me off.

>>715982447
What's wrong with the netplay? I was thinking of getting it.

>>715982835
It was kinda shit last time I played. The room would always desync out, if not that, then just full blown lag in floor 10-11, trying to get to the top of the Dojo in ranked.

>>715976313 (OP)
do you like 50/50's and homogenous rosters?
do you like being financially exploited while devs cut development corners and lower the quality of your product?
do you like glacially-paced updates and support?
do you live in Asia? because that's where 75% of the players are, and SF6 is region locked?
does the cheap looking World Tour mode look worth your time?

>>715981928
the only current gen fighter i've supported is Granblue Versus Rising, and most of that came down to; art direction, launching with like 25 characters, running 5-6 character seasons while other games were only managing 4 characters, inoffensive gameplay, and it being the first ArcSys game to try alternate costumes.

>>715981928
This place is just awful for discussing fighting games. It's already a niche genre but on a board where loud shit talkers who don't even play games dominate discussion it just can't be done

>>715983225
oh, and here's a source cited for the claim that 75% of the players are in Asia.

>>715983225
>granblue
Is it worth full price?

>>715983239
Agreed, dood! I prefer to talk about fighting games in Max Dood or Sajam's Discord servers, because everyone's so hecking positive and hype!!1!1

>>715983485
Thank you for immediately proving my point.

>>715981706
Post your CFN profile

>>715983485
He is right though, fighting game discussion on /v/ is a joke

>>715983437
there's a free version with a free rotation. i always recommend trying fighting games for yourself before buying. i think this is a genre where game feel is very important, and that can be difficult to communicate with words. you're the only one of us who knows how you like a particular fighter to feel, ya know?

>>715976313 (OP)
hell yea you should. SF6 is the most fun fighter ever.
heres me making some faggot rage quit. course I won’t show a losing match lol.

based

>>715983610
same reason discussing nintendo games are a joke on /v/. there are capcom activists. most people agree this generation of fighting games sucks in general, but all the games are okay and playable. nothing special. a lot of changes they make or dont make piss people off, not a lot of effort is being put into them, etc. bubt youll hear from a few paid shills that sf6 is the bees knees, their careers depend on it.

>>715976313 (OP)
Sure anon why not?!

>>715977330
No it absolutely does not. As of April 1st Tekken 8 is genuinely the worst fighting game of the past 5 years along with dnf duel. If sf6 is a 50/50 game Tekken 8 is a 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10 casino. Glad I got into 2d games before Tekken 8 or else I would've been more pissed at the retards at bamco.

>>715985524
>flipping a coin is better gameplay than 10 by 10 roulette!
nta but do you have any idea how retarded you sound?

>>715981928
I personally really like Rivals of Aether 2, but it attracts autists like flies to shit
>platform fighter, so a lot of people immediately dismiss it
>it isn't Melee, so some Melee players hate it
>it isn't Ultimate, so some Ultimate players hate it
>but it added features from Smash, so some RoA1 players also hate it
>some people hate it because the anthropomorphic animal characters aren't sexy enough
>other people hate it because they think they're too sexy
If you take a step back from all the petty Redditors flinging shit at each other, the game's really fucking good and is doing basically everything a good fighting game should be doing: cheap, free DLC characters, robust character and account progression, the developers actively listen to feedback and support esports.

>>715984649
>there are capcom activists
It is literally the opposite this place is filled with anime fighter fags with a permanent stick up their ass over the fact that people don't want to make or play the kinds of games they want most of time and granblue niggers willing to excuse that "inoffensive", braindead boring piece of shit solely because of how it looks

>>715986057
>it looks pretty
>but its somehow worse than the game that looks and plays bad

>>715976313 (OP)
Purchase SoulCalibur Vi instead. 2D fighters play nothing like 3D fighters.

>>715984649
anti-Capcomtards are the worst desu. they rant about "muh RE engine" whenever the prospect of a new non-SF game is discussed.

>>715985892
Anon have you actually played Tekken 8? Like for more than 1 hour? Because season 2 is like if you took everything wrong with modern fighting games, sf6 included, then made it 10 times worse. A Tekken game having chip damage like 8 alone when no other entry had it like this is enough to say it deserves to be put under anything.

>>715986749
were you impressed by re9's graphics?

>>715986950
yes i played both. both of them are bad. but sf6 is worse in my eyes because i usually prefer sf gameplay over tekken gameplay and sf6 is unplayable bad.

>>715987031
yes, now i wouldn't want that look for MvC, Darkstalkers, rival schools, etc... but it doesn't make me sperg about how it's impossible for Capcom to do a different artstyle in 2025.

>>715987197
>both of them are bad
>only sf6 is unplayable bad
Yeah no you definitely have zero conprehension of how much they fucked Tekken 8 or thoughts in your head to think this.

>>715982151
and why uni is a dead game?

>>715976313 (OP)
it's not that much better than tekken
it was fun at release when no one really understood how silly drive rush was
marisa was also really cool

>>715987842
maybe they made it worse, i stopped playing it a while ago. but that would just make it as bad as sf6, which i couldnt even stomach at all. also tekken is prettier and has better music.

>>715986057
anon there's an entire /vg/ thread just for Street Fighter–despite the fact it has a lower daily concurrent than L4D2–solely because this website has cultivsted a small community of Capcom activists. they spent the entirety of the time leading up to SF6's release shouting down people who tried to raise concerns about the direction it appeared to be heading. across the internet i don't think i've ever seen a game astroturfed as hard as SF6.

>>715987758
Nobody said it was impossible, we just say they won't do it. The RE Engine is 10 years old and the only games they've made for it that don't look like Resident Evil 7 are some fucking Ghost & Goblins sidescroller and a fucking Game Jam character action game that looks like it was just a training project for the next generation of DMC devs. The onus is on Capcom to prove us wrong and make a Triple A game that doesn't look like Resident Evil 7 for the first time in 10 years.

>>715987941
On launch it was literally unplayable online and they didn't fix it for over a week and I don't think French Bread have the money to try and market it again now that it's functional.

>>715987758
>now i wouldn't want that look for MvC, Darkstalkers, rival schools, etc...
and yet they used that look for sf6 and the results are catastrophic

>>715988706
no its because the game is shit and unfun

>>715989692
t. capcuk who only plays one game. uni is a fine game its just old. if you want to see an unfun game, check out capcom's latest turd drive rush 6 or tekken 8

>>715976313 (OP)
yeah its what i play now. i loved tekken 7, meanwhile i despise 8

affirmative action 8

>not slime fighter 6
>not tekken 8
>not soive
>still not as popular as them
if only you guys put your money where your mouth is

>>715990521
nobody plays this tranny game or gives a fuck about it

>>715990521
Fighting game players are incapable of actually playing decent fighting games. They'd rather just play whatever slop is popular and bitch about it every step of the way.

>>715990508
he can't keep getting away with it

>>715990521
its a fine game and its free, why arent you playing it? let me guess, the e-celeb told you to buy sf6 so you bought that instead.

>>715988070
>stopped playing it a while ago.
You are genuinely just saying anything and have zero idea what you are talking about in regards to both games then.
>tekken is prettier and has better music.
The music absolutely isn't and that does not have any effect on how awful it is to play you retard.
>>715988137
Are you pretending to be retarded?

>>715990917
>you havent played the latest patch so therefore you dont know shit about any of these games!
are you okay anon? not everyone needs to play the latest slop like you do. havent seen any exciting updates so im just not going to play it.

>>715990521
Granblue fantasy versus is a subneanderthal retard level game while also being the most boring and uninteresting one out of those 4 which is why it isn't popular or even talked about as much as the others.(people forgetting it even exists is common for a reason) Astounding to see how many people shill it on this board but with the people I've seen playing it the game seems like a designated striver nursing home so it'd make sense lol.

play whatever you want, just dont play guilty gear strive. t. 700hours

>>715990638
>child support due for 2 months
dalebros...

>>715983225
>do you like being financially exploited while devs cut development corners and lower the quality of your product?
elaborate

>>715988578
>>715988890
>SF look like RE
Intellectually dishonest or blind?

>>715991318
it all comes from the gay vg thread. nobody else cares about this game

>>715992342
nobody cares about fighting games at all if you look at the numbers, yet you are still here in the fighting games thread. curious.

>>715976313 (OP)
All modern fighting games are garbage. Why bother wasting your time with them.

>>715991128
If you don't know shit about Tekken 8 or about the state of a Tekken 8 why are using it in a comparison in the 1st place?
