                No it wasn't. It lacked fan favorite characters and the parry mechanic completely warped the game to make it fundamentally different from the core of SF and they doubled down on that shit with 2I and 3S with air parry and red parry

                I get what what you mean i also don't like what they're doing with final fantasy but the parry mechanic seems something cool that all fighting games should have. It was what made 3S and DOA2 fun to play
                >fan favorite characters
                It had Chun, Ken, Ryu and Akuma. Cammy would be good there but what else do you want? Sodom? Rolento? Birdie? SF4 had all the characters and more and it was still a shit game

                so? every fricking SF game has been 'fundamentally different' you fricking moron. its been like that since the original.

                >every fricking SF game has been 'fundamentally different'
                Not in the way 3 is different. A focus on slower neutral and footsies with fireballs and anti-airs is a through line present from in every game from 2 to 6 except in 3

    It is kinda funny seeing all these not quite unpopular but relatively niche games just go viral as the accepted consensus in a matter of weeks. Serial Experiments Lain was always pretty beloved in internet circles but it wasn't until Tik Tok that literally everyone started putting it in their top 10 of all time. The popularity jumped like hundreds of positions on MAL in a matter of a year.
