Street Fighter 6, more like Pedestrian Fighter lol

From the stuff I have seen, trailers and different fights from various characters, etc. This looks like utter crap imo.

I do not enjoy modern fighting games. They are over complicated now. And I mean WAY over complicated, and that takes away any of the fun. Fighting games now just have all these often confusing and stupid mechanics, stuff that’s so hard to do that you can’t even do it. There was a move for the Joker in Injustice 2 that I could NOT do in the training mode where you learn characters moves. I tried and tried, I watched videos, etc. And it was supposed to be normal thing to do. It was just ridiculous. If you are having moves and mechanics in a fighting game you make that a person has to look at instructional video’s on, and STILL can’t do it, then it’s too much.

I liked old stuff like Super Street Fighter 2, Night Warriors & Dark Stalkers, Mortal Kombat 2, Marvel Super Hero’s, Street Fighter Alpha 1 and 2, etc. Those were fun, non complicated fighting games. I played the hell out of them.

THIS. Modern fighting games cater almost entirely to autists, who have the time and nerve to memorize frame data and complicated 20 move combo strings. Classic fighting games were all about positioning, reading your opponent, finding a weakness in their strategy, baiting them into making mistakes. They were psychological games. The controls were simple, combos were more or less limited to 2 moves unless you really exploited some game design flaws. Nowadays no matter how good your positioning and baiting is, those autistic spastics will still win after 2 touches, because everyone who plays online practices their stupid 1 touch death combos for hours and hours. That’s why everone plays one character now. It’s only about memorzing combos string inputs. Back in the old days, people would know how to play almost every character (except dhalsim, who everyone hated to play as).

Modern fighting games are shit, because the audience they cater to is shit. The designers are allowing the retards in the fanbase to take control, while trying to turn the games into an esport. Something so hard to play, that it becomes more fun to watch than to play.

As for the design of SF6, it does scream “current year”. Very bad costume designs. Very dated hiphop aesthetic, which doesnt fit with the design of previous games at all. SF games used to have a timeless design. This feels like Forza, a bunch of Hipsters getting together for a street festival. It’s awful. Some of the new character designs are half decent. Marisa’s moves being inspired by ancient statues is a clever touch and shows some thought behind the design process.

But overall, it’s not for me. It’s for generation autism. Let them have it.   Mortal Kombat 12… if 11 was anything to go by, it will be trash as well. Burka Kombat. Tekken 8 might be good.

@Wisdom : Hey man, I played as Dhalsim in SF2/SSF2/SSF2 Turbo. And he was fun, but took at lot of patience. lol

But ya, I do not enjoy modern fighting games. I flat out quit buying them. My last one was Injustice 2, and that killed my interest in fighting games completely. The fun is gone and replaced with outlandish crap to memorize just to do one move, or overcomplicated mechanics that are just convoluted nonsense. I never play online because I am not competitive and know people will just wipe the floor with me using exploits and cheap crap. I frankly don’t like PVP at all, in anything. I like playing alone and against bots or the AI. I like to have fun, and fighting games used to be a lot of fun for me. But, not any more.

Street Fighter 6 is more like Pedestrian Fighter, LOL. When compared to its predecessors, the game lacks inventiveness and feels static. It’s underwhelming due to a lacklustre character roster and repetitive mechanics. Capcom needs to boost their game and produce new, intriguing material to reignite the series’ past greatness. Fingers crossed for improvements in future versions.
