Is this the most overrated fighting game of all time?

[Patrick Wayne]

I see many people shilling for this game like it's gonna revolutionize the fighting genre.
And all I'm thinking is "are you crazy?".
First of all, it doesn't revolutionize a single thing. Even it's character creation tool is nothing special. 5 year old Soul Calibur 6 had a superior character creation tool. You could create anyone there.

I enjoy the gameplay somewhat but it's just sfv but with few new mechanics (and removal of previous mechanics) and a different visual style.

But the visuals and graphics are underwhelming to say the least.

Bad textures, awful hair textures, backgrounds look like cheap wallpapers, terrible scattering in motion, etc.

Some female faces are uncanny valley material in a lot of animations. Like Cammy, Juri, Manon and especially Kimberly. Take the animation of FGE for example and look at Juri's face or her face during her win pose.

Juri is also supposed to be the feet girl but she has the ugliest feet I ever seen in a video game. Crusty and rugged, like she is an 80 year old grandma that never takes care of her feet. This is just a side note, because I see cringe fans simping for these ugly ass feet.

Cammy's face is dismorphed (her ingame face looks like she takes weekly dose of botox) and it looks like her hair is about to fall off. Is she balding?

RE engine has the same problem it always had with sf, the bone structures are rugged and defined. Which is a problem when making female models because it’s supposed to be softer. But in this game this flaw comes into full display, considering the new visual style.

World tour and hub are even on ps3 games graphics level sometimes.
Like in this comparison.

You can't even make the excuse for Capcom to being limited by previous gen.

MK11 is also on previous gen and looks miles better, while being 4 years older on top of that.

By the way, the jumping animation in sf6 looks like the characters have a jetpack. They don't jump naturally.
MK11 was criticized a lot for it but when it comes to sf6 people ignore it?

The single player content is a joke. Why would anyone want to play as some sidekick, fighting some random npcs while spamming few moves? All with ps3 level of graphics?
Does this look fun to you?

They couldn't even bother to make a separate story mode for the sf characters.
I mentioned Soul Calibur 6 before and it beats sf6 here too. They have 2 story modes. One for the character you create and the other for it's characters.

The game also doesn't get much hype as the fanboys try to indicate. Free open beta peaked at 32k. Which is nothing. Even Multiversus had 150k at it's free open beta.
You need to realize that the final product which costs at least 60$ will have much less than that. At least x3 less the amount. I can see this game hover around 4-5k players at best in few months on steam.
The demo numbers are extremely pathetic on top of that. Which further proves my point.

Even if we take youtube numbers. Most viewed sf6 video has only 1.5 mil views. In a year. This is nothing.
For comparison Tekken 8 has 4.6 mil views on it's most viewed video. In 8 months.

And MK1 got 5 mil views. In 8 days. Yeah, 8 days.
Sf6 has way less hype.

This game seems like it has some of the most content for a fighting game. Only game I can remember coming close is injustice 2 with its gear grind, challenges, guilds, and cooperative guild raids on content. For a competitor yeah I see there isn't much outside of netcode, two types of lobbies, and make your own tourney in game which Tekken 7 had so it's a nice borrowed feature.

its a fighting game, fighting IS the content. idiots.

Everything I said included fighting, it's how you do it and for what reason is the content. I guess you are new to this.

I gave argumentative points about why this game is subpar in a lot of categories.

What "arguments"?

"This game won't have a big player base" isn't an argument. It's whining for Internet clout and clown awards. At least be honest and say "yes, I have a lot of free time and I'm bored", I would've respected you more. Instead, you say "me? Clout? Naaaa I have arguments" well my argument is that you need to get a job.

Are you blind? Read the starting post. Everything there is an argument with examples.

Let's read some more arguments:

"People are shilling for this game"
"Female faces bad"
"The single player is a joke"

And some more coping and crying that I won't indulge. Don't like it? Don't buy it. As simple as that. Play MK11 instead of harassing another community. Good day sir.

Arguments? These are preferences and opinions. Also, why are you working overtime to talk smack about a SF6? Are you from a rival marketing team for Bandai or something?

Tekken will always be over rated for me, It's always felt way to clunky and janky. But I also have to remember my brain struggles with 3D environments so that's on me

[AncientFlames]

game is fun and accessible. Seethe more.

What kind of loser hangs around on a gaming forum dedicated to a game they don’t like or play?

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
