Let's face it. Street Fighter will NEVER be dethroned as king of the fighting genre, and for the following reasons:
-No waifu shit. Yes, there's sexy scantily clad women in SF games, but they're all muscular and look like warrior women. Even shitty ass Laura. Meanwhile Tekken, DOA, and MK 11 are full of frail, scrawny swimsuit models that have no muscles and don't look like they'd take a single punch without sobbing hysterically and begging their male friends to kill you for them.
-Combos. The combos in SF games are short and sweet and look brutal. None of this hitting people 500 times a second as no one can fucking move. It's more fun due to the more back and forth gameplay, unlike the shit clown simulator known as Tekken, or KoF the combo trainer sim.
-The most important of all, is how the fighting looks. SF barely has any juggling unlike every other fighting game, which makes a HUGE difference. The juggles that do exist look and feel realistic, it's Ryu doing an uppercut which knocks someone in the air again, and then doing a kick to knock them down. Unlike every other fighter where you simply jab or shin kick someone 3 times in a row as they magically bounce upwards as if hit by a fucking spring in a sonic game.
Look at that shit. Just look at it. No fighting game will ever compete with this. It just fucking looks so intense, so amazing, and so brutal and raw. This is fucking Street Fighter boys.
ps. Chun Li>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other female in any fighting game
I approve this message. Tekken 7 is ok but I hate the waifu faggotry and the shitty juggling. MK 11 looks like ass.
Joseph Cooper
SF wont be dethroned because of the name brand. Current SF is trash and you know it.
Joseph Collins
Why not enjoy all fighting games for what they offer? Sometimes I feel like playing something and other times something else, I do like long ass meme combos, but I also like tekken juggles, the characters and movesets just keep me coming back and rotating, you could say I like ALL fighting games, like Tokido says: "Fighting Games are great!" FUCK MK FUCK NRS THEY SUCK THEY'RE AWFUL I TRIED I REALLY DID BUT I JUST CAN'T STAND THEM THEY'RE SO DREADFUL
Wyatt Peterson
that match looks sick sf3 was the best fighter hands down
Nathaniel Cox
SFV is shit, but still better than the current fighters being made. The numbers speak for themselves. Tekken is only being propped up artificially due to every single other 3d fighter FAILING. If someone made a non shit 3d fighter Tekken would die almost instantly, no one actually likes Tekken.
Wyatt Fisher
>Meanwhile Tekken, DOA, and MK 11 are full of frail, scrawny swimsuit models
You missed the outcry on how 'SJW' mentality made the MK11 ladies all covered now? And Sakura looks less like a warrior woman and more of a generic anime high school girl. And she's suppose to be the most popular SF character in a previous poll.
Ethan Adams
>-No waifu shit. Stopped reading there. 2/10 bait
Isaac Jones
Sakura has obvious muscle tone. None of the women in tekken, doa, or mk 11 do.
I agree with op, street fighter matches look like actual fighting, not juggle simulators and faggot shit with little girls flailing their arms around like doa
Jace Smith
You don't fucking know what the word waifu means, just like all the twitterniggers and ironic weebs out there trowing it out to refer to whatever female character.
Gabriel Sullivan
waifu means shitty female character that doesn't belong in a goddamn fighting game.
Hudson Kelly
SF will never be dethroned just in america , in asia tekken is king even kof is more popular in china korea and the entire south and central america , street fighter had luck was very rooted in American culture and memories of boomer and street fighter 4 was a new boom for older and newer generations , sf is king in usa and japan in a lot of other places kof and tekken have those titles
Dominic Moore
Korea and Chinese have shit taste so I am not surprised. They like their little gay looking fake fighters with people floating through the air nonstop while laying down and being shin kicked, also they love shitty waifu characters, unlike the manly Japanese and American cultures which prefer strong powerful women
Nathan James
No it doesn't you retarded nigger, way to prove my point. Do you even know how the term came about? It originally came about from the jap version of Azumanga Daioh, when the teacher the girls thought was creepy was asked who the pretty looking girl in the picture he had was and in broken english he answered "mai waifu". Then people took on the term to refer to the 2D girl that was the one and only one for them. Call me an autist or what ever but you fucking niggers ruined the word just like the retards that ruined literally to the point that it now means both literally and figuratively.
Nicholas Thompson
Brand is awesome, SFV is not. Eat shit V fags and see you in the SF6.
Nathaniel Miller
>Street Fighter is still king. >When Smash U just shifted best part of 14 million units. OK FAG.
Even it its a shit SF entry, SFV is still the best. Also dont forget the cross ps4pc platform play that merges the playerbase and increasing the games online lifespan. I think that was one of the key factors that keep SFV on the top.
>increasing the games online lifespan SF4 lasted 8 years at the top, SFV is already dropping off at 4. Not just 2 years of not being top at evo, it gets beat at a lot of events. And they've been silent of S4 for a while now. Also remember when they had to give away free tshirts so people would enter?
All SFV gets now is the most views, which are dropping and also bought
Shut your bitch ass the fuck up, who cares? All I know is SF is the only fighting game without waifushit, even MK was getting infected by it with MK9/X and all the faggots worshipping Mileena. SF is a series for MEN, not you small dicked, low T having bitches.
Jace Hughes
>No waifu shit Kek Why do you think I'm playing jive and not Burka Kombat?
Aaron Martin
Because the better gameplay and more realistic looking brutal fighting?
Luke Campbell
bing
Bentley Davis
OP's way with words is reminding me of that death cargo shill, fun threads back then.
Joshua Stewart
>Smash >fighting game Even if we say it is how is it better? Because muh iconic characters fighting?
Camden Lopez
>for the following reasons: >- No waifu shit Wow, you managed to name the one thing that keeps street fighter on my radar as a non-fan.
Michael Long
Juri is the best SF girl, though.
Angel Kelly
>Street Fighter has no waifu shit Cope. Street Fighter lost its appeal when it migrated to 3D assets. Most of the appeal is via older titles.
Guilty Gear is the best 2D / traditional fighting game series and yet it gets some of the least exposure because the skill ceiling is too high and because of fringe copyright issues made it hard to promote the series similar to how JoJo has problems promoting itself outside Japan. It also lost some of its charm migrating to 3D with Xrd, even if the attempt was much better than Street Fighter and paved way for games like FighterZ.
Tekken and Soul Calibur are the only 3D fighting game that survived, although they ruined themselves by conforming to special and mode/stances with less emphasis on "3D fighting" to appeal to Street Fighter demographic. Side-stepping might as well be removed.
DoA has always been a meme. DoA2 Hardcore was ok, but still a meme.
There is not a single "true" 3D fighting game that exists right now that isn't a Dissidia clone. There never will because fighting games are a terrible profit-hemorrhaging genre.
Guilty Gear became irrelevant when it got rid of its heavy metal hardcore anime style in favor of moe modern anime trash
Dylan Moore
Bushido Blade is true 3d, shame it died
Ethan Perez
>There is not a single "true" 3D fighting game that exists right now that isn't a Dissidia clone. There never will because fighting games are a terrible profit-hemorrhaging genre.
Mortal Kombat is a HUGE money maker, if MK 12 went 3d it would shit all over Tekken and Soul Calibur
>SC What got me into SC was a fast paced gameplay with weapons, not shitty specials or "cutscenes" to some "rock paper scissors" that breaks the flow >DoA Played the beta of 6 and enjoyed the fuck out of the gameplay, but again, damn specials and that one button combo that was easily spammed with other combos
They already did 3D and I dont think you would want to go back
Legacy, lore, nostalgia, fanboyism, money = SFV still alive. The game itself is trash. Kudos to Street Fighter II, Alphas, and 4 for building all those things up, though. Without them, SFV would fail.
Thomas Young
Still better than gay ass tekken and MK 11 with its gay ass juggle combos
Gabriel Russell
Mk11 is way more fun than sfv.
Sebastian Barnes
It's not real fun, it's fake fun due to the blood and gore fooling you
Kevin Richardson
Do people still play SFV?
Oliver Rivera
>Imagine being this homo
Noah Scott
not free not on pc? is it on pc? either way its not free and its dead
