it's great. I'm probably gonna stick with it thru it's lifespan. getting everyone to diamond then probably gonna go back to chun and buckle down because she feels the most dense technically while also having a fairly traditional moveset, which i like. also yoso kicking people in the corner brings joy, tho it is pretty easy to counter if they know what to do. there's balance issues here and there and a couple characters could use a serious rework, like Honda and Lily imo, but since this first patch is so far out I'm expecting big changes.
Im trying to like it, im trying really hard but... artstyle is trash, series never should have gone 3d, should have stuck with 2d sprites. Drive impact is fricking moronic, it feels both brainless to use and like an extranious addition to the combat that just makes the game more random. I joined a battle lounge today, lost 5 matches in a row, then i got frustrated and basically threw all my footsies out the window and just started doing walk up grab and drive impacts over and over, and guess what, I won. So the game seems to reward randomness and playing like a moron, and punishes me for trying to play clean neutral. If you like that, cool good for you, it doesnt feel fun for me. But I only started playing yesterday so mayyyybe ill change my mind, not holding out much hope though.
Its not a question of weather its counterable or not. In my experience DI just shouldnt be there, I dont feel like it fits the game well and giving every character armor is moronic.
people justify this by saying it all changes when you reach masters but that's just another way to say "you learn to work around this bullshit that shouldn't exist". I shouldn't be a fricking SF master to get past the bullshit randomness. DI doesn't make the game better in any way. DR is even worse considering even top players hate it
Theres a type of post you get on Ganker when people are talking about fighting games where the person tries to adopt the cadence of someone with a ton of genre knowledge and its fun reading them and seeing right through their facade
I don't plan to ever play it because the game is a fricking leftist goyslop. I prefer to stay with my V and my hot kitties. If 6 would remove some characters like marisa, manon and kimberly then we can talk.
It's fun. I play Honda. Good for catching some folks off guard but they usually adapt quick and kick my ass. I won't play Guile players. I will play 100 Kens and Juris before Guile.
Great game, has clear issues like the cost/reward of raw Drive Rush, the lighting engine, how much went into World Tour when it feels too bloated as-is, how expensive the avatar cosmetic garbage is, but when you're just playing it it's a great time. In terms of the launch of a new Street Fighter era, it shits on everything else, only Vanilla 4 comes close and Vanilla 4 is infamously imbalanced.
I really like it, but i feel like it'll really benefit from another season or two of dlc
Curious to see what they change about the drive system when they finally patch the game
>REEEEEEE JUST REACT ITS FINE FOR EVERY CHARACTER TO HAVE AN ARMORED COMBO STARTING ANTI AIR FULL SCREEN UNPUNISHABLE MOVE! JUST REACT!! IT TOOOOOTALLY DOESNT RUIN THE NEUTRAL GAME AT ALL!
I never said i was losing to it, its a shit mechanic, shouldnt be there. Black person.
I haven't played it for months now, but I had a good time while I did. It's a really good fighting game and certainly a lot better than 5, but it still has a lot of the typical issues of a fighting game because the genre is fricking stuck in the 90's and any attempt at innovation will make the autistic fanbase have a meltdown.
this. fighting games are stagnant and the fgc is autistically hostile to all complaints despite larping like gangsters and wiggers, they're a bunch of actual autists. as bad as the smashgays they shit talk.
Since Street fighter 4 fighting games have become more accessible to casuals, the marketing has been directed towards casuals they're making every change they can think of to bring in regular gamers. Normies suck at fighting games and they always will these companies need to Target the game to the people who actually play them because if they want the mass market they have to make a game that's not a fighting game nothing will ever match or Street fighter 2 did in the 90s.
You don't need to make it accessible you just need to make doing cool stuff easy. DBFZ is ruthless if you're up against anybody who knows what they're doing, but the core mechanics are such that any casual can pull out cool camera-shifting attacks without any real understanding.
Newcomers want to be diamond rank by week 2 and I don't even blame them because low rank gameplay is shit. It's nothing like the tournaments and pro streamers that make the gameplay look skillful and hype. There was a time where learning fireball, DP, and crossup super was enough to be the big fish in your local arcade but online that will get you to about silver
It's telling how hard people screeched about 6 finally adding an optional modern control scheme, instead of it still having a learning curve for the FRICKING CONTROLS. Imagine if reloading a gun in Call Of Duty or throwing a Fireball in Mario was something you had to practice and learn. It is so fricking moronic. It's literally just autists being hopelessly in love with the jankiest, most annoying aspects of the genre that only hold it back from evolving.
Street Fighter specifically is balanced around those controls. It's not simply a matter of removing them automatically making the game better, the DP motion is part of the game -- you don't have to like it, or even play it, but it's intrinsic to Street Fighter.
Reloading in Gears of War had to be practiced to be perfected, and was a fun mechanic to boot so your argument has no real truck here beyond whining that you can't learn to roll your thumb.
>Street Fighter specifically is balanced around those controls
it's supposed to be balanced around neutral, advantage and disadvantage. Execution is just a distraction based on legacy arcade controls, nothing more. If you removed modern from SF6 it'd still be unbalanced thanks to all the neutral skipping gimmicks, such as DR.
street fighter is just the definition of mid, I dont see why so many people flock to it when theres better options especially now with a bunch of good games getting rollback
as a fightan newbie I think 3s is 10000x better than SF 6. The problem is that the only people playing it are seething Brazilians on fightcade and boomers from latam who have been playing it for decades. there's only one local in my state that has 3s and it's 2 hours away. I wish 3s fans were as autistic as Melee players.
Fun, I bought the SF6 HORI and Snack Box Micro just for SF6. Still stuck on the black sumo dude in the Tournament tho. Best Street Fighter I’ve played since SF2 in the arcade and later on SNES.
It's OK. It has a fantastic online experience, the style of it is pretty decent, and it has some great music if you ignore the shitty character themes and the weird rap song.
Competitively it's the worst street fighter in recent memory.
>it has some great music if you ignore the shitty character themes and the weird rap song.
This, though I do love a handful of the character themes. Most of the best music is hidden in menus & World Tour (why does Carlos Miyamoto have the best track in the game?)
Great game with one of the absolute worst "First Season" DLCs ever. Balance issues (Drive Rush, JP, Luke) that have plagued the game from the very beginning have yet to be addressed, and the characters they have/are adding range from shit (Aki, Ed, Rashid) to meh (Akuma). Why the frick does the game feel like it's scraping the bottom of the DLC barrel in the very first season?
I had a honeymoon period for awhile with it, but haven't touched it at all for about a month. It's just a bit too shallow and the drive system just isn't interesting at the moment. >Drive impact is boring. No real reason to do it unless guaranteed while opponent is burned out. Too predictable. Too easy to counter. >drive reversal is fine. There's just not much incentive to use it often when raw DR exists >EXs are fine but you'd rather use raw DR >raw DR is the entire neutral.

Most characters have the same gameplan and most good character can throw you into a corner where you can easily get steamrolled or you corner and steamroll them with a good guess. Very little in the way of footsies and adapting.
I think it can be a really good game, but holy frick patch this shit.
my green slimer beats your green slimer
quintessential zoomerslop core.
>inb4 homosexuals say V is better
both are shit. fighting games are dead.
low elo boomer cope
it's fun. Smash Bros has better gameplay (yes FGC gays, it's true, I've played both unlike you) but SF6 has actually functional online play
>Smash Bros has better gameplay
Yes.
I'm plat which isn't much but I barely play the game, let alone ranked.
forgot to mention im gold rank
it's great.

People in masters rarely use DI lol, its so counterable.
DR is the problem.
Its not a question of weather its counterable or not. In my experience DI just shouldnt be there, I dont feel like it fits the game well and giving every character armor is moronic.

Cammy owes me sex, but I'll only collect if she wants
Why would you ask for the opinions of a board that can't even throw a fireball?

Ugly as shit with a shit roster

As long as drive impact exists its trash
just react?
>REEEEEEE JUST REACT ITS FINE FOR EVERY CHARACTER TO HAVE AN ARMORED COMBO STARTING ANTI AIR FULL SCREEN UNPUNISHABLE MOVE! JUST REACT!! IT TOOOOOTALLY DOESNT RUIN THE NEUTRAL GAME AT ALL!
I never said i was losing to it, its a shit mechanic, shouldnt be there. Black person.
>ANTI AIR FULL SCREEN UNPUNISHABLE
People have played the game by now anon, just lying isn't going to work anymore.
drive impact is the best of the three additions
moronic
Black person
DI is a trash mechanic and should be removed.
hahahaha filtered so hard
Coping and seething to hide from the fact your game is shit? Funny ahahahaha your seething so hard.
It is full screen, its works as an anti air, its unpunishable. Cope seethe dilate.
>he actually got filtered by the easiest mechanic of them all
just press 1 button lololo
Dude your seething so hard righy now its so funny lolololol!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA keep seething please your seethe is so funny HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nta but i hate ESL fricks like you
make a good choice and die soon
HAHAHAHAHA you are seething so hard HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
lmao filtered
>press one button
>win the match
Has potential, but raw DI needs more risk (an extended hurtbox preferably) and PP is cancer.
I think you mean raw Rush? Yeah, it needs to be Punish Counter frames the entire time you're green. A slightly extended hurtbox might help too.
Yeah, raw DR I meant.

if you don't make your genre accessible to newcomers it will die.

SF4 >> SF6 > SFV
I do not have to go further back than 4 because the consensus is unanimous
Return to monkee

you should also check cvs2, garou, and guilty gear accent core +R
just play Tekken instead
tekken is ass play some good shit like blazblue
Fun, I bought the SF6 HORI and Snack Box Micro just for SF6. Still stuck on the black sumo dude in the Tournament tho. Best Street Fighter I’ve played since SF2 in the arcade and later on SNES.
Back in the day to do a decent blockstring involved two 2-frame links and god damnit I was happy
>sf6 has simple inputs
>people take the bait regardless of how insane the post is
Worst and ugliest Street Fighter game ever made. Diversity consultant character designs too.
game is good overall but the roster and music suck ass so i didn't care for long, mostly the roster
there isn't 1 char i care about
>shart slimer 6
It's OK. It has a fantastic online experience, the style of it is pretty decent, and it has some great music if you ignore the shitty character themes and the weird rap song.

They picked the corniest rapper on earth for this song lol

Ganker is dog shit at fighting games. if you disagree fight my manon and find out.
I only play Jamie so it's fun
It’s a very fun game. I already like it more than I ever liked V.
