This is the most boring fighting game that came out in a while

[Patrick Wayne]

Everything in this game is so bland.

1) The gameplay loop.
The neutral in this game is straight up ass.
Fireballs and anti-airs are especially boring. It's not like Tekken where you are at your opponent's face and it feels like a real fight.

0 sense of epicness or intensity of an actual fight.

Imagine you fight someone in real life and they just spam some projectile at you over and over or jump on you and you counter it with some goofy move that launches you into the air at them. And this is the core of the loop. Something that you will encounter and do most of the time.

Only shimmies feel somewhat rewarding.

The fruitloops DI and DR only make this game more goofy and cartoony.

2) The animations are dry and very basic (besides lvl 3s that do look cool I'll admit).

3) The graphics are subpar and it feels like this game came out in 2016.
Bad anti-aliasing, awful backgrounds that look more like wallpapers than backgrounds, uncanny valley faces (seriously, why most of the characters are so ugly in this game?) and underwhelming textures (WT straight up looks like some cheap mmo from 2014).
And before you start with the last gen excuse, look at MK11. It's a 4 years old game and on last gen, yet looks significantly better.

4) "Open world revolutionizing single player mode" is a big joke.
It's extremely limited "open world". All you do is run around few city blocks and climb some stairs. Not being able to even climb on top of the buildings. It cuts you off at the top of a structure.

The stores and hangout are basically just wallpapers. You can't even properly go inside and explore them. Like you would in any open world.

Only few buildings let you go inside.

Most of the time you fight some corny copy pasted people in a mask that was made from a cardboard. Seriously, was this game made for 5 year olds?

It even lacks basic voice dialogue. Not even masters have a proper dialogue. Why Capcom so cheap? Was it so hard for voice actors to voice these short basic lines?

The dialogue is also very cliche and cringe. Like it was written by a preschooler.

The masters are extremely one dimensional with their personality revolving around a single trait or stereotype.

Like DeeJay. His whole "personality" is YEEAY PARTYYYY LET'S DAAANCE.
These characters feel like they came from some cheap kiddie cartoon. What is this abysmal writing?

5) Modern controls. This only divides the playerbase and confuses new players.
New player who chooses classic will be dominated by a new player who chooses modern.
Everything that is hard about the game for new players (anti-airs, combos, supers, etc) is eliminated on modern and some of it's aspects play the game for you.
Some of the aspects are broken even at the highest level of play.

Modern takes absolutely 0 skill or effort and you can learn the optimal combos on first try while you need to struggle for hours in the lab on classic.

Making it extremely unfair and frustrating for honest players trying to play this game on classic. There are hundreds of threads to separate classic from modern in online modes for a reason.

6) Regional matchmaking. If you don't live in the biggest cities that filled with sf6 players you will struggle to find a match. Sometimes up to 20 minutes. No matter your connection or speed.

Only fix is a good paid vpn.

7) Netcode overall is underwhelming. You can get random error out of nowhere even now. When the game exists for over a month.
There's even some weird bug that delays you finding matches if you lab during the match search, making the lab also very laggy.

Cute attempt at sarcasm but a lot of people get matched only with the same people from the same city. Especially in Europe or Middle East. No matter how good their connection is.

A lot of people? I like your data, it's really precise and specific.

So how does this "city lock", anti-aliasing, and in your opinion "no voice lines" make this the most boring fighter to release in a while?

I know this is low quality troll bait, but im gonna feed ya anyway.

1. It's more likely that YOU are just ass at neutral. However, even a broken clock is right twice a day....and you're correct about one thing....it is not Tekken. That's a completely different game. I'd give you your favorite color of crayon to eat for that one. "where you are at your opponent's face and it feels like a real fight." You are more than welcome to backpedal to the corner. Cammy, Kimberly, Juri, pretty much every character....even a sassy Dhalsim, will be more than happy to "get in your face" and take a massive dump on you.

No video game will ever have the "epicness (whatever the ♥♥♥ this means) or intensity of an actual fight. You can die from one punch in an actual fight. Closest games with that kind of damage ratio is Samurai Showdown and Bushido Blade (you're probably too young, my sweet summer child)....but they're not Tekken, am I right?

Using imagination of a real fight to make your point about a video game is cute but also retarded. You've never been in a real fight. Struggling to keep your Uncle off of you when your Mom leaves to get your Ritalin doesn't count. Sit down.

Shimmies do feel rewarding. As does countering D.I. when its abused. And side swapping out of a corner when you're in burn-out. And perfect parrying an abused poke. There's plenty to feel rewarded about, and if you're all out of intrinsic motivation: there's a tangible, physical reward with a monetary value of over $1,000,000 at the next Capcom Cup. Go gettem, scooter!

The D.I. and DR are colorful for reaction play. Realism has never been Street Fighter's aesthetic style, so....whatever. You do you, booboo.

2. Watch Chun Li's and Cammy's Medium and Heavy Kicks. Aint nothin dry about those animations....ahem....but anyway, go check out NRS games animations, especially the new MK1....if you lookin for that "dry".

3. Graphics have never been the main draw or focus of Street Fighter, it's about the system. Mortal Kombat has always been more about presentation and graphics, only in recent installments have they made an attempt at adding depth to their system. MK11 was one of the best looking fighting games. That doesnt mean SF has to look like the Homecoming Queen, it's good enough for what it is.

4. The open world may not be "revolutionary", but it's as open world as it gets for a single player mode in a fighting game, the last similar attempt was MK Deception's Konquest mode. The core audience of these games would buy, play, and enjoy these titles without it. It's just icing on the cake. Nobody that's serious about fighting games actually cares if it's ground breaking or not. It's for the casuals. The noobs. The SCRUBS. and the bored. them too.

Also, DeeJay and all other OG characters' personalities are based off of what many of us grew up with since SF!!: Some theme music, fighting animations, a win pose and ONE win quote, and some clothes, like MAXIMUM PANTS. This aint George R.R. Martin, bruh. Calm down.

5. Modern controls only divides the base at the lower ranks. Most players with actual skill aren't whining for it to be removed. "Some aspects of it are broken even at the highest level of play"? Really? Not one Modern user has sniffed anywhere near the finals in the recent tourneys. Desire to know More, Intensifies...

6. I live four hours away from even a small city and have no issues, even on late sessions on weekdays. My experience is anecdotal, your mileage may vary.

7. I've had some bugs, yes. It hasn't been game-breaking to where i can't even log on and play so....modern gaming, eh?

True. The fans keep coping for Shill Fighter 6.

All of their subjective gripes have already been addressed.

Calling them subjective and brushing them aside isn't addressing them.

Good for you. I guess your opinions align with the OPs then, sorry the game isn't what you wanted.

Ah, so you had nothing as I thought. I'm glad that's settled.

Yes it's settled, you don't like the game. Good talk, real fruitful.
I wish you luck in finding something you actually enjoy to better spend your time.
