GU:
t’s no secret that I’m a fairly large fan of fighting games, and of the surrounding community. I tend to dip into almost every new title I can get my hands on. I owe much of this genre attachment to a number of influential franchises; Street Fighter is most certainly one of those. It’s a series that has been around for 29 years, and continues to dominate the fighting game community in various tournaments. It’s a series that exists on a multitude of platforms and generations, and continues to have a deep fighting system that can be inviting for newcomers, challenging for all, and rewarding for the veterans who put the necessary time into pulling off the nicely choreographed combos.
Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.
Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.
SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.
SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.
I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
