Davis from Denkiphile: "Every year, the Evolution Fighting Game Championships are filled with a variety of surprises that leave viewers wanting more and disappointed that they had not gone. With an incredible $20,000 bonus being awarded to the first place winner and a valuable spot in the Capcom Cup, this will be one of the most exciting tournaments of the year for Ultra Street Fighter IV. Outside of that particular title, this is still one of the biggest, if not the biggest tournaments for almost every other title. Certainly, players have been practicing up and saving their best for this event. Expect to see upsets as well as some of the best matches in fighting games all year round."
Get ready for a weekend of high-stakes competition, game reveals, and hands-on demos, including 2XKO, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and Rivals 2.
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've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.
SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.
Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.
So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.
Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.
SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.
Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.
It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about 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.
