Do you think this game is better than SF6?

[Sandy]

And can it stand up to Tekken 8?

[Hema]

yes

I would say that the only thing they have in common is that they are both fighting games, but they are so different from each other that there is no comparison.

^ Pretty much this. I love both games, but for different reasons, and if you asked me to say which is the "best" one I wouldn't be able to answer that question.

[Knowsome]

yes, albeit some would argue the damage is too high, and just like tekken it requires a best of 5 instead of best of 3, considering how volatile and how quick a match can end.

it's much better in the art department, better graphic, better artstyle, better character design, better music, etc. Gameplay is preference, it is really aggressive and dishonest and some people might prefer a tamer game like sf, i find it boring tho, opinions. But it loses in features and qol compared to sf. You have to remember tho that arcsys is a much smaller company than capcom, with a smaller budget and the dev cycle got screwed big time by the covid

It's subjective. GG is anime style and SF is not. This
It is up to each person to decide what is better and what is not, in the art section it is even more so.

Personally speaking, I love GG's music the most. <3

over 7k people playing it rn what do you think

I agree. Characters in Strive feel way more alive. Having unique intros/outros/character interactions and colorful behavior animations. When in SF6 characters don't even have character interactions (besides some lame text line) and say the same thing to everyone. Their behavior animations are not as rich as well.
And the gameplay of SF6 is very basic overall.

But Strive loses to SF6 hard in lobbies. Whatever pixel chibi crap Strive has cannot compare with Battlehub.

[GrimAtrament]

both are good.

[Vault Traveler]

I enjoy the gameplay from GGS way more, but content wise SF6 is superior.

[Infevo]

Objectively SF6 may be the better game but I think SF6 is boring and Capcom was running out of ideas which is why they introduced this generic drive system to a game that has not aged well.

[Budgies R Birdz]

No shot. Strive is like Super Smash Bros with Tekken mechanics. SF6 is not only much better for newer players but the movesets and mechanics have much more depth to them, making it better for more experienced players too.

Look, I dunno. They both have their strengths, they both have different reasons to like them, and what each individual person considers what makes a game "better" is so subjective that you're never going to find a definitive answer.

These are 3 completely different games.

Strive improved since its release in the fastest pace I ever seen, there are frequent updates, and the new team mode coming on, strive maybe can have two different competitive scenes. The game is fun, but is still far from perfect, I'm trusting Arc gonna make further adjustments, something I as a customer usually don't.

SF6 is treated like a premium standard like it is a unanimous consensus, but in truth it looks like a remix version of the game it should be. It is undoubtly solid, but monetizing practices are ruining it fast, and the trainwreck that was SF5 makes 6 looks incredible, maybe more than it deserves.

It is already hard to compare GG to SF, but these two are at least "2.5D". Tekken 8 is a completely different beast.

There is space for all three games. I play strive because I don't have time to keep many games anymore, and I choose the one I related more at the time.

Too different, Street Fighter had a better release (excluding the hated currency) unlike Strive that still lacks game modes, especially in single player. On the other hand, even if it is different and more grounded than older GGs, Strive has still great mechanics from older games (the reasons why I like GGs, and likewise Strive) like roman cancels, burst and unique gameplans for the characters, even without talking about music and aesthetics.
Even if it took a while, Strive updates are deepening the experience (is more difficult to balance an anime fighter), it can be more fun for who seeks frenzy; while Street Fighter is a better example as a game content wise. Street Fighter can be more pop and they tried with modern but its accessibility is crafty and limited, strict combos? The game does it for you.
Too much to learn? Ignore it. Strive accessibility is better, more forgivable combos but you have to do it. More heavy and complete tutorial, but you actually understand how to play. They don't want to keep you casual.
Strive still suffers from lobbies, no matchmaking in ranked makes everything longer and crybaby skip some matchups and SF ranks are better than Strive floors; Street Fighter make you lose input and so maybe 1 milion dollar. Both have problems.
Personally... Street Fighter is more exemplary as a game evolution and return to content in FG, but Strive is still a more interesting FG. I'm biased though, I prefer anime fighters, especially if they are not slippery like French-Bread FGs (Melty Blood) or older GG, but a middle like Strive or to come even closer to SF, Granblue Fantasy witch is an alternative (more grounded than Strive but crazier than SF) that could resolve the debate.
Street Fighter or Strive? Maybe Granblue Fantasy is the joining point.
