Pay to win trash game

[Yukani]

screw this game, might as well be a mobile game at this point.

Bruh ken and cammy are core cast.

Whatever skill level you're at, the tier lists don't matter for you yet. Also this year's Capcom Cup and Evo were won by players using default roster character.

But hey, if the game gets your dander up, seeking out a game that does spark joy might be the play. 1v1 games can be harsh on one's perception of their own ability.

Its not about the dlc characters being "top tier" simply paying to get access to more characters is a advantage

I can see why he would think that if he compared Ken to Akuma.

Considering these characters in all likelihood take over a million dollars to develop so I don't think just handing them out for free is an option. If you've less than two hours in the game you could still refund it and then buy the inevitable Super Street Fighter 6 or whatever they'll call it and have a level playing field again as all DLC characters up until that point will be included.

Hmmm, I am not sure if "advantage" is the word I would use, but convenience for sure. Still, unless you play professionally, you can probably get by without labbing yourself.

I think he means not being able to select them in training mode. Which tbf is super scummy. Especially for characters like bison where he will eat you alive until you learn what always punishes his kicks and mediums.

Its also very obviously. A greedy manager kind of decision. A total oversight that you still need to be able to see their frames data in game and practice your punishes on them even with out paying.

Like imagine if you had to pay to lab honda. That would be very messed up. Since if you can't perfect parry him he kind of just wins by default. But if you don't want to play as him being forced to buy him just to not auto lose to him would be so incredibly lame. Its just bad precident.

We have replay takeover now, so you can lab out anything you get hit by whether you bought the character or not.

It is not pay 2 win and if you are not able to spend some money you really have another problem.

i own so many characters in so many fighting games and i haven't tried a lot of them. so uh i dunno

[Zeel Ara]

But at least you're behaving like an adult about it, so you still have your dignity intact.

[Grampire]

I have zero doubt that there are plenty of people who wish SF6 were Pay2win.

It's not, you can't change your character mid-match and you can't even see the opponent's character before getting into a match. It's also a 1v1 game so there is no team or assist synergy to consider.
Having access to more characters means nothing in the outcome of any given match.

every fighting game sells characters its their main DLC to these types of games ... its about finding a Main more than anything a lot of people dont swap their Mains a lot once they find one they enjoy ... there is absolutely no advantage in having more characters because you wont play them all anyways
