Did you fall on your head as a child?

I repeat, neither SteamDB nor SteamCharts know the number of actual active players, they just know the number of players who play at specific times. I could use this data and estimate actual active players based on assumptions like average playtime, but I don't do this for free. Plus, this is my day off, we celebrate liberation from fascism.

It's clear. There is no evidence. You just said that SF6 is more popular based on the fact that you want to believe it. But there is no real reason for this.

But the truth is that SF6 is dying. There are few characters, the balance sucks. The game is about Ken, Luke and JP, the rest are trash. The rating is boring. Even a monkey will reach the master, after which the boring farming of numbers begins.

Even monkey will reach master? You should double check the stat I sent before 😂

proof? cause small roster is your opinion

it just sounds like you just personally don't like the game and then assess it as fact for those that do like the game.

Outside of that No its not a "Fact" its an assessment.

Statistics show facts, you present opinions based on your own bias. I do R&D for a living, bud.

I'm a dropout who knows how to assess logic and the system ..

Idk where people find feel and experience = facts.

To predict the future the evaluation of data needs some valid linking to concurrent data, & that data needs to reflect the situation accurately; otherwise its guessing from emotion not from logic and evidence.

LSS
Circumstantial expression, is not solid or proof.

Statistics of registered participants on Combobreaker are in front of you. It best shows what people are interested in. And not your myths about 400k))))

Combobreaker is what we call anecdotal evidence, look it up.

1 event attendees doesn't work as a global rules. I'm not saying here that in the future Tekken 8 won't be more successfull than SF6 or that SF6 will be more successfull, I'm just saying these statistics are just a pool of player on 1 event.
The only fact here is that T8 is more successfull at Combo Breaker than SF6 is. Does it make it globaly T8 more popular than SF6 because of that? Answer is no.

Now if we want to focus purely on Combo Breaker attendees and add few things that could explain these numbers, dropping numbers alone without any kind of analysis doesn't make sense.

- Tekken 8 was released 3 month ago while SF6 will blow out one year anniversary very soon.
- Tekken 8 tournament in Combo Breaker is a Master Event in Tekken World Tour which is a major event for Tekken pro players, thus will attract more Tekken player than it should.
- Tekken 8 prize pool is $22.200 while SF6 is $14.320.

That beeing said, on a pure personal level I don't care at all which one of these games is more successfull than the other. I'm an extremely big fighting game fan and particulary of SF franchise but I dislike SF6 a lot, and I'm not that much of a big fan of T8. So I don't care whichever "wins" this battle of being the most popular. But calling a fact what's not a fact is triggered me.

:chippy_pyramid: Confusing a prize pool with data charts..

You're making shortcuts taking one particular aspect of my argumentation as it would explains everything.
Prize pool isn't directly linked to higher or lower charts, but has some influence on it.
