The worst part of playing SF5 is; it's boring as gently caress.

This might seem weird or whatever, but to me, there is no chance to "express yourself" if yall will excuse the flowery language. Every character plays the same. Used to be, you could see Infiltration play Akuma and Tokido play Akuma and spot their different playstyles and appreciate both. Like the difference between Diminion Guile or NuckleDu Guile. Snake eyes and Vangief. There is none of that now. Daigo looks like Tokido. Momochi plays exactly like 10 other Kens. A dude who posts in this thread and is pretty good plays EXACTLY like Itabashi Zangief.

The game is sad as gently caress and literally everyone knew it as soon as it came out. I'm not even talking about the lag or lovely hit boxes but just general fun. I used to play with a solid 8 people very regularly in USF4 (a deeply flawed game itself) and basically everyone hates this game. I talk to these people about our gardens now, or drinking stories, or about dumb FGC members. What a ruined opportunity.

You're definitely not the first person to say it. Even Infiltration talked about it.

I'm pretty meh at fighters. Like I could def see improvement if I like went to locals maybe but I know I'm not your sit in training mode and grind type.

I feel like I literally mastered Bison in the beta. (and he's like one of the handful who actually feel like completed characters)

I felt like this game was super simplistic from then and thought it'd be a nice change if the characters all played super differently. Issue is people like laura and rashid felt incomplete during beta and never went further. People just discovered mix-ups on like day -5 and have been using them since.

my sf4 buddy since vanilla decided gently caress this game and we play overwatch together. I tried to get him into guilty gear but I could imagine hes cautious after buying sf5 lol. But I think even after a shareplay he was instantly more interested in GG

What would you say to the people out there that have Street Fighter V, but may still be left wanting. Then seeing Injustice 2, a new Guilty Gear, a new King of Fighters, and a new Tekken on the way, and thinking about making the switch? Why should they be confident that you'll be able to turn it around?

To be honest the only part of that top 8 I enjoyed was when Woshige stood up. Which to be fair did make it a more entertaining top 8 overall than Smash.

Unlike you old bitter fucks, I can appreciate Smash, but Smash top 8 last for fuckin' ever and it's all the boring characters playing against each other, it's like MK9 top 8s.

Last year's finals were just kinda...there. I really don't remember much about any game except for Woshige standing up.

JUST GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT SHINJI
This is all totally anecdotal and probably only applies to my area, but when SF4 first came out, and then subsequently SSF4 and Marvel 3, they drew HUGE crowds and I'd see lots of people at tournaments and sessions. As time went on, things slowly shrunk and by USF4 there weren't many people who really cared all that much.

I think SFxT might have been the beginning of the end, because that game launched to a lot of initial fanfare and people were already starting to get bored of SF4, but soon they realized SFxT was hot garbage and dropped off. I certainly did for a while. I just got bored of playing the same game for 6+ years and USF4 did little to revitalize my interest.

Say what you will about SF4, but it was the first Street Fighter game made in almost a decade and was extremely popular initially. It kickstarted a resurgence in 2D fighters when they had mostly laid dormant unless they were Guilty Gear. SF4 filled a void that had been missing for a long time. You know that old saying, distance makes the heart grow fonder. When SF5 came out, there was no longer a shortage of 2D fighters. And the fact that Capcom totally botched SF5 by releasing it broken and unfinished just made matters that much worse.

Guilty Gear top 8 was a ton of fun and USFIV had the insane controller failure drama and Gamerbee healing himself 4 times a round

I can only stand Smash when it's Hungrybox b/c he's the closest that game gets to traditional footsies from what I've seen and he tilts half the playerbase for being such a defensive player.

Also, I mentioned this in the Discord but if anyone is interested in a weekly battle lounge with this bad game, I'll be hosting one starting Saturdays at about 7PM Central time. Join the Discord if you haven't already, as I'll be posting details there.

Gamespot: Capcom's CEO said that Street Fighter Vwas lacking in content and needed more polish. What does delivering on "more polish" mean to the development team?

Unless you're talking about the devs, I agree its clear they hate the game.
