Flop... I like Fatal Fury, but CotW is a flop.

[OyajiBR☕]

Reached 4674 players on Steam on the 21st of April (pre-release) and never reached 4000 again. I'm not surprised. The marketing strategy was disastrous. If they had first brought a Fatal Fury Collection, people who never played the franchise would have a chance to know it first and thus more people would be interested in CotW, especially the young. It worked with Samurai Shodown 2019, which had a collection before. The real life guests who are not even fighters (one is not even famous) damaged the hype too, if they brought actual fighters like Mike Tyson or Anderson Silva it might have attracted some. I refunded it but bought again because I like Fatal Fury more than I hate out of place guests. Also, CtoW is not better than Real Bout 2 and MotW, just newer. I'm old but not stuck in the past, if I were, Street Fighter 6 wouldn't be my favourite SF.

*EDIT: I didn't say I don't like the game or I hope it fails, quite the opposite. I hope you guys are right and it gets better, but so far it doesn't seem like it will.

Know what else was a flop when it released? Street Fighter 3.

Long as we can find matches under a minute, the game's good enough. Something like DNF Duel, on the otherhand...

THAT is the measure of a game being not only a flop, but DEAD.

Cool, let's wait 15 years like SF3 did.

Funny enough that seems the play for most fighting games these days! Between DLC characters, balance patches, you don't get the real game until a half-decade down the line.

If gamers were smart, they would never, ever buy a fighting game day one. Ever.

But we're not, so.... heh!

its funny, these people are flooding the steam forums thinking they are killing the game, not realizing that a tiny fraction of people even use the steam forums and none of their posts actually matter

nah, he bought the game, so dd I.

Is a flop, no point being in denial about it

and anyone on the fence can easily look at the player count, they don't even need to come to the forum to see a big red flag

The game has potential but something sadly went wrong

[f.ultron]

you should ask a refund

what went wrong is you lost a bunch online and got mad salty

It could still build a player base, it's unlikely but happens. Should've put Ken and Chun in before the other dudes just so people felt like they had an in.

I don't dislike CotW, but I'd rather buy Oblivion Remastered if I knew of its surprise-launch.

Doesn't this number only counts for online population? If so, then you're way off since most people play offline.

There is no way this game sold less than 5.000 copies, it is not THAT niche.

eu concordo só com uma coisa
a historia do jogo tár hiper caro no brasil o street fighter 6 quando lançou era 280 reais hoje tá menos da metade do preço é torçer pro preço base desse jogo cair

Yes, I refer to online, it reached 4674 people at the same time. But Street Fighter 6 is 2 years old and passes 30,000 every day around 13h00 UTC. For launch week, the numbers are not good for Fatal Fury.
