Already down to 30K… Yikes
Sure, that’s plenty of players. But losing 40K players in just a week means this game will be dead within a month.

Lmao, I knew this the whole time, though. Tiny roster of only EIGHTEEN characters when SF4 and virtually every other FG from 2010 and up has at least 20.

Lots of streamers and pros are already bored of it and dropping the game/waiting for MK1. The issue is that the game is too easy/oversimplified and just not fun according to most. Might be the drive system coupled with little to no content.

Just another disappointment from Capcom. I’ve given up and I’m all in for MK1/Tekken 8, those games will destroy SF6.

Steam is a trash platform and its numbers don't matter. Enjoy those hundreds of thousands of people on console SF6 right this second ;)

"pros are already bored of it and dropping the game/waiting for MK1"

Pros dropping the only game with a cash prize of millionS of dollars.

That drop on the player base is pretty standard, usually online games loses up to 90% after a month. Considering that SF6 beat all Steam records in terms of players, it should still go strong for some time now!

The better game. Let’s look at Multiversus’ peak: 153,044 on steam… over twice as much as SF6. It being free still shouldn’t allow such a disparity.

Most pros like Punk are bored. Some of them are either playing Diablo 4 or just better FGs like KoF XV. When KoF XV gets crossplay… SF6 is done. Mark my words.

Now that I'm playing it more, I think it's the learning curve.

Sure there's Modern controls to lower the skill floor, but the ceiling's been raiaed sky high.

For one, Drive Rush needs you to land not one, but 2 links to be worth it: the cancellable normal into the rush normal, then the rush normal into a cancellable normal. So it's twice as easy to drop compared to FADC.

Second is Drive Impact and Drive Parry change the game from the usual 3 rock paper scissors (hit vs block vs throw) to 5. And Drive Impact leads to its own combo route, Drive Parry has its own set of frame data.

Sure it's easier to mash but once players start going up against Drive Rush mixups into corner throw/overhead/low/DI that's when the learning cliff smacks them in the face.

Which is a tough one because this is ultimately an esports game and it's interesting at high level but probably too much for most casuals to stick around and power through the learning curve.

I mean you're right, i'm glad Multiversus is still alive and kicki- oh wait, didn't Multiversus' servers shut down only a few months after release?

lmao
