Do you think SF6 is better than the current best fighting games?

[Sandy]

In your personal opinion, do you think it's better than Tekken 7, MK11, FighterZ, Strive, KoF15 and etc?

The good thing about FGs is, that they are usually all very good. If I had to choose between the new Battlefield and Shaq Fu, I would still pick Shaq Fu and have a lot of fun with it. Even the worst FGs are much more fun than any other online games in my eyes. When it comes to the larger fanchises like SF, Tekken, MK, GG, SamSho, DBFZ, BBCF, MB, UNIEL and so on, all of those titles are a piece of art in their own regard.

It's at least just as good as T7 and Strive. I like it more right now but I like Tekken and Guilty Gear enough that I'll probably want to go back to them at some point.

I feel like T7 is still superior. Especially for new players. It's very accessible while being the most complex fighting game out there. Tekken 7 is a genius game.

The inputs are easy and you can get simple combos right away. So you can have fun right away.

In SF6 you need to lab for a bit before you can have fun.
Modern layout tries to make the game more accessible like T7, but all it does is create confusion and dividing the player-base.

Tried to get into T7 a couple of times but never could. Game is not intuitive like every other fighter and I don't feel like watching hours of youtube tutorials because the devs couldn't be bothered to put an actual tutorial in the game.

It's good, but I find MK11 to be way better on most fronts.
Amount of content
Story
Unluckable skins
gameplay
graphics
all of these goes to MK11

[kiteless 凧無し]

no, not even close
sf6 is a super basic game

[BlackSunEmpire]

Its certainly better than MK 11 , but thats a very low bar to pass.
Certainly not better than Virtua Fighter 5 US, USF4, MK 9-X and T7.

Could be better than SF5 tho, depending on how they balance it over the next month. And if they add in year 2 finally a few interesting dlc characters.

No. The combat is so slow. It's like watching people fight under water.

sf6 will be my main game, kof15 will be my side game

well here are some legendery fighters..

I think I still prefer Strive, but SF6 is pretty good.

Probably would be the best game with rollback netcode implementation so far. MK11 had rollback but it felt too clunky for me. Strive's rollback is okay, but probably makes the rollbacks too noticeable due to the fast nature of the game(also lobby design & no matchmaking based on ping or rank made the online experience really horrible)

Music wise, it's bottom tier atm. KI or Strive for top quality of music. Tekken for replayable hyping technos. SF6 music has been too subtle for me to like it.

Very generous in terms of tutorials and single player content for newcomers. Having a blast so far.

Sf6 will never be as big as sf glory days with 2, 3rd strike in arcades and smash.

[linuxgaming]

I'd put 6 matching 4, it will probably take the top spot when more characters are released.

I really enjoyed SFV and I can appreciate that this is a different take on the franchise, not an evolution or improvement.
Oh and my fave fighting game is still Injustice 2, which I would be playing now, if it wasn't a ghost town online.

Did you really just claim that SF6 is not an improvement over SFV? And people call ME the troll????

Yes. SFV has a massive roster, cool characters, movesets and and art style that I like a lot.
The splatoon elements of SF6 are annoying, the pseudo-realism is something I'm growing to like. The character set feels too restrictive, they should have started out with some more old SF characters - Cody, Bison, Sagat, Laura, etc. - who had well rounded moves and character backgrounds.

Of course, I'm comparing a game at the end of its DLC life with one that's just starting, so they'll probably add those characters, and more.

Still, as far as fighting games go, this is hugely enjoyable though, at present not quite "there".

THIS is a huge thing. The combat does feel unnaturally slow. You get impatient waiting to hit things. Weird!
