Deadass @ still people complaining about sex appeal of characters when Mai and Cammy exist. The overly fixation on it is crazy status.

I don't give a damn about the female characters but I don't like playing hobos and hunchbacks of Notre Dame either.

Street Fighter 6 achieved 5M units sold in 9 quarters (the 5M data is from March 31), while SFV took almost twice this time, 19 months, to achieve that:

Funny how when games release on Switch those same games are later followed by "New milestone record sales". It's almost as if Nintendo gamers actually buy games released on their system

SF6 achieved the 5M units sold as of March 31, 2025, months before releasing in Switch 2.

3rd party games, and particularly (real) fighting games sold considerably worse in modern Nintendo platforms than in PS or PC. So pretty likely will be the case for Switch 2. This is one of the reasons of why many fighting games weren't released in Switch.

SF4 and 5 are better.

No.

SF5 is equally as bad as SF6. SF4 had a few great revisions that put it in the same league as Alpha series.

No.

Is Menat finally in?

No.

what about tekken

same tekken 8 kicks sf6s ass so hard,

Tekken 8 is performing worse than SF6. Notice the difference in Steam's active userbase:

Previous entries as reference:

Why do you people who think SF6 is better say so?

• Way more full featured at launch, not only in modes and characters but also in many quality of life or amount of settings you can tweak
• Way more content single player content, specially at launch (the open world World Tour story mode is almost a whole new game)
• Tons of homages and references to previous Capcom (and now SNK too) fighting or beat'em up games integrating them in the SF univers and explaining their lore and character backgrounds deeper than ever via the World Tour mode, which acts as one of the main tutorials and training modes of the game
• Many -and better than ever- options to learn the game and practice stuff for people of all levels, including people who play fighting games for the first time
• The 'modern' (easy) optional controls type has been implemented and integrated better than ever
• More balanced gameplay and since release
• Better input lag
• Godlike netcode and better matchmaking, while in SF4 and SFV was garbage
• You can unlock (or buy) and use the songs from almost all previous Capcom fighting games, as an example assigning specific tracks to each character (something cool because I dislike a lot of songs of this game and prefer older ones).
• Way more polished in general
• Features the best social or lobby experience / mini 'metaverse' in the genre
• Includes emulated versions of tons of Capcom arcade classics with daily online leaderboards, and starting in season 3, now also Capcom console classics
• Customizable avatar / character in both appeareance and fighting techniques
• Better visuals (even if I personally did prefer the more anime art style of the previous entries)

this does not mean that sf6 is a better game then tekken8 its just that fans like sf6 more fans can have shit taste you know.

 

[ToneyJ]

I find it interesting most people in this thread think sfv is better. I guess casuals in NA and Japan as a whole

This is the kind of stuff you would see in a gym or a festival performance bereft of all sexuality. Mai in KoF XV for comparison:

What they did to Terry is the real travesty though:

There are people with different tastes, and that's ok. Some even like to eat shit.

What the graphs show is that in Steam Street Fighter 6 currently has a way bigger active userbase than any Tekken game ever had. Meaning, in PC there's more people who prefers SF6 over Tekken.

I am probably in those counts and I only turn on SF6 to redeem all the random gifts and get the tickets for opening some mode or online feature. Some might turn it on to just play Capcom arcade and console titles for free. I play more Hyper Street Fighter II than the actual game. The World Tour in this is an abhorrent 30fps hodgepodge beat 'em up filled with text spamming mongoloids. Total bullshit I had to invest any time in it just to use classic costumes.

I have started avoiding playing Tekken 8 since the dumb fucks at Bamco threw in Final Fantasy dipshit with half screen attacks. I came back once that FF army got tired of playing with themselves but left again once the dumb fucks decided to make Season 2 balancing and gameplay direction insufferable. They either aren't competent enough to fix it or they just don't want to. All the dumbasses would need to do is roll back to before Clyde Assfield. It is a shame as it was a fun game prior. Now I am stuck waiting for an update that may never come.

imo if you are sp guy its t8 all the way sf6 arcade endings are trash and the wt mode is a bore fest.

 

[Spyxos]

Interesting, I haven't bought it yet. To me, it looked the most boring. However, I haven't played it yet.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Judging by vanilla releases I think its the best one yet. Maybe bar Hyper Fighting. SFVI was pretty much feature complete and worked online. Its not like I care much for some character designs like Manon or Marisa, but they are a lot of fun to use. I actually liked each new character in this game.

But to be honest, I have more fun with the recent Capcom collection. Classic fighters are better.

 

[ShirAhava]

SF6 makes Street Fighter EX2 look like Third Strike

Horrid game. Sad that its so successful SF might be dead now (creatively) thinking about it this is a really crappy generation for fighters

even the good stuff ain't that great

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Undeserved. Art style is complete garbage since Street Fighter IV. Ryu Looks like a Taliban now.

They better release Alpha 4 as their next game.
