SFV was said to be dead, everytime a new fighting game came... What happened? Nothing.

It's not more in trouble than Mortal Kombat 1

Sometimes i think some of my fellow gamers like to start issues when there are really no issues

It's sold 3 million copies and we're not even through year 1. Street Fighter 5 last five years with two large scale package deals. Relax.

With Capcom Cup just around the corner, SF6 is doing just fine despite our frustrations.

The lack of exitement over Edd should be attributed to the fact he was already a DLC character in the previous game.

Mk1 is in trouble. Nice baiting.

they need to add some decent DLC Characters packs like.... Final Fight DLC pack - Haggar and Poison Rival Schools DLC pack - Batsu and Tiffany Darkstalkers DLC pack - Morrigan and Jon Talbain and more Fighters like Rose , Alex , Elena , Fei Long , R.Mika and Karin

A “3 king pack” would get my $ Vega Balrog Sagat

Street fighter is killing it, nice clickbait

I need my demons man. Akuma is taking way too long.

Companies are going to have to learn we don't want 4 characters and 2 stages as a year's content for almost the cost of a full game. Honestly killing it for me. Especially if since they get leaked early and are always not personally what I'd want.

Apart from the absurd prices for costumes, Spy x Family controversy and Ed being DLC in the last game, Street Fighter 6 is doing fine unlike Mortal Kombat 1. The reason why it's not mention now because Tekken 8 has stepped up big time from Tekken 7.

Nah sf6 is a great game and in a great spot. And it will continue to get better in the future with more dlc and content.

I feel that the problem also lies in the loooong content drought SF6 is experiencing. There has been no new characters or patches to change anything up for almost 4/5 months straight. That is an extremely long time in internet time.

This video exists because you didn't know the Ed trailer was released? I had no trouble seeing it or reactions to it on day one. It feels a little arrogant to say a game is in trouble because you missed a readily available trailer.

All I'm saying is give me back Sean, Laura, Maki and Adon!

I like SF6, and even played a good 60 hours online with it but im waiting for the characters I actually play to be added.

Get ready for the next battle…

Game needs more Dudley.

For Capcom to shock me, they'd have to sneak in a DarkStalker character. But good luck with that.

Dang it, I fell for the click bait😐. I played SF6 on Tuesday morning and got ranked matches in no time that ran smooth, with a few of international players mixed in. The Ed gameplay trailer trended on KZfaq yesterday (#18 when I looked). Of course I want new characters to drop quicker but SF6 is NOT in trouble.

Capcom must also not understand how charity donations work.

The main issue of SF6 is the lack of new content for a life service game. In probably over a year, the game only added 4 new DLC Characters to the roster with 3 of them already being characters from SF5, especially Rashid who was in the base roster. And also so far, 1 set of overpriced outfits you can’t buy in a bundle. That’s a *long* wait just fir characters you‘ve already had enough of in SF5. In Season 2, they *really* need to push the gas pedal for fans to catch interest again. I‘m talking adding fan favorites like Dudley or completely obscure characters like Eagle to the game, definitely increase the number of characters per season and add a new mechanic for vererans to have something to dig in again.

It's Ed. I love Aki. I can't wait for Akuma. Ed is just... boring. I hope with a fresh coat of paint for VI he feels good. He looks bland. Want Sagat, Sakura, Crimson Viper (or even Lucia) as a Terry type (shoot rip off Terry, name him Jerry, or Barry.) SF has so many classic characters they don't need to release to many "new" characters. Sodom and Birdie. Hugo. Ibuki. Balrog. Guy. Even bring in Akira and more Rival Schools characters. I really think they need to speed up the character releases. I would love 6 a year.

I think another problem lays in the competitive scene. I think there needs to be more offline events next year to drive up the excitement. No one gives two squats about online events. I know its hard this day and age but I really think it would increase the excitement for the overall game.

The game is insanely awesome. My main is MArissa, Gold rank currently

I think the thing that irked me the most about SF6 was the fight money and the grind you need to do to simply unlock new costumes and colors. You couldn't simply earn it through the online mode, you had to do the story mode which I and probably many people don't have an interest in completing. Who wants to grind out a million CPU fights for a costume?? Basically all there was to do was fight and learn the game but there wasn't really anything to spice things up unless you paid. Meanwhile Tekken 8 has a plethora of characters and customization for said characters out of the box along with a great story mode, along with replays, jukebox with all the music from the series. Don't get me wrong SF6 is a great game with a beautiful aesthetic, it just feels like everything that would give it longevity is behind a paywall.

we need SF3 characters in sf6. the fact we got none day 1 when this is the sequel to sf3 is a huge missed oppurtunity

Sad to see clickbait is the only thing you do these days.

Just needs more characters that's all. Sick game love it

No video on Mortal Kombat 1

The biggest problem the new street fighter is suffering from is the fact that most Americans don't have any money in the bestest economy ever. I suspect the rest of the world is having similar issues as well.

This is the same pattern as every street fighter game since street fighter 2 turbo. It's only a matter of time before people start to consider it great again

I think that once the Akuma teasers, trailers come out that SF 6 will pick steam back up

I don't know man, last I check SF6 is average similar player count as tekken 8 on steam. While being released almost one year prior

I truly hate all the hyperbole that takes place in gaming. I swear if a game isn’t making Fortnite numbers for 5 years straight, the game in question is immediately in trouble ,if not “dead” 😒

Yeah they need to pick up the pace with these dlc characters. At this rate we wont see sagat balrog or bison for a decade

Street Fighter 6 still has a great online competitive community. You’re trippin, I’m a casual gamer and I still play SF6 between my other games

Ed gameplay trailer is ridiculously hype!! P.S.: MK1 is already dead, so, I don't know why are you comparing it with sf6, hahaha

Announcing all the DLC before the game even came out was their biggest mistake. Both the Aki and Ed trailers would have hit so much harder if it was the first we were hearing about them

I'm might consider playing if they bring in Q or some legacy Final Fight blood

Theres also the unresolved plot point from the previous game involving the character G. He was my favorite and I'm still hoping his story will be continued in a later update to VI.

King of Fighters 15 shattered all expectations.

I don't play the game, and I knew Ed was coming. Because I've got a friend who does. I believe his exact words were "Yeah it's Ed. I don't know why."

No fighting game is worth $70 when released because they just going keep on adding dlc and charge people for it. I been a street fighter fan since the early 90s and I did not purchase sf6 or the previous sf on release date. I just wait until the price drop.

SF 6 just revealed Ed. Capcom is very consistent and paced. The one big mis-step was when they overcharged for those TMNT costumes. With Capcom cup and pro-players liked Daigo on top, new characters every 5 months, SF 6 is going to be around for a while.

I feel like a big chunk of it is a drop off from casual players SF5 let you unlock dlc by playing. It encouraged regular grind from players who in turn took more of an interest whether a character was worth the grind and how best to optimize their experience as well. That investment translated into algorithm pushing SF content to users and feeding views. It's a vicious cycle. Players aren't being hooked in, aren't watching videos, creators have less incentive to create and without that wider net of content to catch people there're fewer opportunities for people to be come invested customers. I don't think Capcom have really understood how much creator hype combined with a more generous dlc model combined to help keep SFV relevant for so long. Coupled with how most news about monetization is largely negative they aren't giving people good reasons to cover the game further feeding interest elsewhere

Wait for DLC part 2. The buzz will return then.

We need New Blood for Street Fighter, & just make a Large Roster from the Start.

View count not withstanding, Ed isn’t some sort of a disaster. Right now gamers are emotionally invested in other topics- like hating on the new suicide squad game, wondering about the future if Xbox, growing concerns over losing games that they bought online, etc.

id wager that the hype is is gonna spike once we reach the time for when Akuma joins the roster.

As a Capcom fan and overall lover of fighting games since 1991, I gotta say T8 is piquing my interest more than SF6. Last Tekken I played was T3 when it released.

So are we going to get a new DoA sequel soon?

Street Fighter 6 is best played locally against friends, family members and tournament opponents. Playing online on Street Fighter 6 is pointless because Capcom wants you to create a Capcom ID account needed to play online on Street Fighter 6 and that doesn't make any sense.

Hype fatigue is a thing, though. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a franchise is to give it a bit of a rest. The people who are enjoying it, are still playing, and the people who are interested in trying another thing, go off and try the other thing. I can think of multiple games I've come back to after trying something else, and falling in love with them all over again. When I've come back, I've realised how much better they do certain things and that's only because I've played other games. SF6 is not in trouble. It will stand the test of time. Capcom need to continue focusing on doing things right, and let the results come.

I actually like Ed's design in 6. Ed in 5 looks like a normal fighter trying to be another dictator. But in 6 he gives Nero from Devil May Cry vibes a bit. I want interesting characters too, but also want variety in terms of how characters play. Would be nice to get at least 2 more grapplers like El Fuerte and Alex for example. Also I still think SF6 is at least doing a bit better than DNF Dual.

People complain about not having new characters, but the same people complain about why there are microtransactions in the first place. I personally think they should have stayed with the current roster and just do proper expansion like Street Fighter 2 to Super Street Fighter 2.

I'm not too excited about Ed though, I think the return of Fei Long would be BRILLIANT, a few characters from the alpha series and one of the original bosses would be really good. Aki is a work of art and the most impressive new character from ANY fighting game as of recent.

To be fair, in this day and age even the most viral things are easly forgotten 10 minutes later so, they would need a new A.K.I or Juri Han on every trailer and even that would get boring eventually so, in part SSF6 might just be facing the cruel nature of the internet.

Ech! MK1 is probably in more trouble than SF6

Mortal Kombat 1 has something to say.

A game isn't as big as it was when it released 8 months ago? Someone call the papers!

It just needs a balance patch. Raw drive rush, everything being situational...maybe hurt boxes need to be changed

Street fighter has a lot less going for it especially since small roster and way easier to learn characters leads to a very dull loop compared to Tekken 8

This game has already sold over 3 million copies. You are overreacting, the game also has more players than any other fighting game except Tekken 8 on Steam

I know we didn't get gameplay footage of Ed, but I still can't wait for him to come out, I loved his gameplay in SFV and I'm loving Rashid in SF6

This ain't a good take man. Sure the Ed teaser wasn't super popular, but we got the Capcom Cup Finals coming up in like a week and a half. Capcom wasn't gonna reveal anything major until then, even with Tekken 8 dropping. It wouldn't have made sense. At the very least I think it might be better idea to judge the future of the game after that

WE NEED MORE NEXT GEN CHARACTERS. Makoto, Ibuki

I think at the end of capcom cup we will see something new other than Akuma reveal alone. Hope they announce at least two new chars for next seasin and be it Sagat and a new comer.

They need to add guy and cody from final fight

They should take character creator mode > modify it so you can change only clothes and colors and > create character customization mode just like in Tekken series. this way they still can monetize their Outfit 3 costumes they released as "premium clothes" and people who already purchased them won't feel scammed. And customization does make a game feel fresh and keep it interesting

Why is capcom so tame with its dlc when they literally have a GOLDMINE of characters and more they can use from THERE OWN IPS as dlc characters 😂😂😂 why

I do agree the fact we’ve known about the “DLC characters” for so long killed some of the hype. I think many of us assumed those were going to be in the base game. And we’d get get new faces as DLC lol

I think capcom should take the Tekken 7 route..include a guest a character that's actually integrated/essential to the story, the no brainer choice would be SNK's Geese Howard, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury practically existed side by side since the fighting game boom. this would attract KOF fans and probably some Tekken fans as he was well received in there too.

Everyone waiting for Akuma to land

Great video. Honestly Akuma is the only character that could pull me back in and maybe someone else from SF 3rd strike.

Huh… weird… I’m not a SF player so I don’t know much. But I played Tekken, and I saw there were leaks and everything and such, but when the reveal trailer came out, I see a lot of people are also hyped about it too. Maybe because it’s still a new game, but I mean Reina got leaked LONG before her trailer came out and people already speculating that she’s Heihachi’s daughter and such, but it’s still grab people’s attention though… again, maybe because T8 was just released like a week ago and SF6’s already like half a year, but character trailers should bring hype, right? :”D

Tekken 8 earned it's Hype, because it don't need to be a Live Service Game, & you can buy Costumes offline.

I bet if you scammed a few charities Capcom would love to work with you.

As a filthy casual, I was overjoyed that they gave the game a Yakuza-lite story mode. I can create a super-detailed character, and mix n' match character moves to tailor-suit a playstyle. I wasn't expecting but a couple of blocks of Metro City to run-around and uppercut a few random goons, but I quickly found myself getting ganked by roombas and assaulting old ladies. The story was expectedly vapid, but it was quite a refreshing take on a fighting games. But putting myself in the shoes of a competitive player, I can definitely see how SF6 is losing ground. It's a competent fighter, but they're missing so many quintessential marks that Tekken is nailing.

if nothing got leaked, season 2 needs to not reveal their characters at the beginning it creates more hype about who is gonna be the next dlc and the people will wait their favorite character for the rest of the year for me is better to be revealed at the beginning like now, but for a company perspective is better in that way

Let’s think about that real quick: Sf6 has: - great world tour story (freaking innovative ) -classic arcade mode - even if ppl now are ignoring that, we have Avatar battle, and with that customisation, they did gorgeous work to make them look natural when they use moves (we can talk about it for hours) - battle hub, a great place that makes everything natural - gorgeous mechanic, with drive mechanic you have crazy freedom -a perfect balance in the initial roster - modern commands to help new player out - extreme mode -Arcade classic, where you can play old classic (beautiful) - […] I am stopping; this message is already too long, anyway if this game is dying, then the world is going mad. P.s: I fell like I can play it forever

Yoshinori Ono was taken out of the equation and this is what happens.

People here say that SF6 is in a great place - but it could be way better. What SF6 lacks is characters: there are only so few of them. The only reason I'm not playing SF6 right now is because there is only one character that I actually like playing. I'm a casual player and even with World Tour I feel left out - because I have little choice. I don't want to play characters that don't click with me and with such small roster, that has so many archetypes missing or in small supply, it's hard to get into SF6 for real.

One problem with the game is Drive rush eating game inputs and some combos have too little scaling with some crazy over 60% life bars gone, makes for a lot of bullshit some characters can pull, makes playing very frustrating...

They are being too slow with dlc. Its great other than that.

Sf6 is fine...MK1 on the other hand is on life support

well, Akuma is coming...

I think the contributing problem for SF6 is that there have been other fighting game announcements that've caught people's attention. We know that MK 1 had its beta testing period and early access to generate attention but Killer Instinct Ultimate had a major balance change not long after MK 1 was released and Dragon Ball Fighter Z got a massive update that drew in attention. With Tekken 8 finally released and a scheduled DLC plan, it's overwhelming to just settle on a single or 2 fighting games when you have the newest game release or massive updates to older games. To make matters worse, both SF6 and MK 1 have horrible microtransactions and a poor community feedback system that just makes them feel isolated from the rest.

11:33 Um... *there's nothing for Capcom to fix.* Like you said, Capcom have gotten quiet on purpose. If you notice, Spring of this year (2024) is close from here, and Akuma [ (悪魔) Gouki, 豪鬼] has not yet been imported to the game as a character DLC. So quite like what they did with him for the first time with *Super Street Fighter 2* , Capcom are purposely leaving his release to the closest speculation until eventually it occurs at just the right date and time for *every fighter fan* to start a weekly talk; of course that's just my best guess, considering just how recognizable a character like him has become....

This is pure clickbate. The game is doing just fine on Steam and the only other fighting game with more hype right now is Tekken 8

Sf6 is not in trouble at all. It’s just so happens that we have seen the biggest year for fighting games in history. Three of the biggest names in fighting games just released around the same time and are all being explored by fighting game fans. The steam is being shared right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if fans are a bit overwhelmed right now with all the big fighting games. Although, it seems like fighting game fans are getting very disappointed with mk1.

Limey, the game has sold over a 2 million copies. If you dont the extras, dont buy them.

An Establish IP like Street Fighter should start with 35 characters.

Love your videos , but lol , do you have to refer to yourself as “big daddy top hat?? “🎩 😅🤣

There's nothing wrong with Ed's design. The problem is MK1 and Tekken 8 coming along, in the last few months and the lack of dlc. 6 characters per season, would be much better.

I haven't purchased or even played any Street Fighter game since SSF4AE. I'm just not interested in the continual paying for more characters and costumes, nor am I interested in paying for "service" games. If I can't own the complete game so I can play it 20 years from now if I so choose, and not have to worry about the "support" being dropped and forever losing access to parts of it or the game as a whole. Now if they packaged everything into a disc I can own and actually use, then I would reconsider purchasing more of these newer iterations of these games.

Fighting games have been dumbed down for the casual press one button crowd.

Just the other day I was looking for the most played fighting games on Steam... I was surprised at how low the numbers for SF6 were.
