Strive shoots itself in the foot every couple of weeks in some strange hard to comprehend way meanwhile I legitimately think Tekken might be dead as a franchise now 💀
And even then, the similarity of the game from launch to now has been wearing on people too. I don't really know if there is a win condition at all, when I first saw people say SF6 is worse than Launch SF5 I damn near had a heart attack
the character drip feed is keeping me catatonic... but I really do be liking a foundationally stable game that updates balance maybe once a year or less 👀 rock the boat too much and nobody knows how to play
Worst I can say is $50 is way too much for a season pass + costumes and I thought season 2's roster was weak. I got world tour out of it anyway I got two videogames out of one videogame.
Hot take but the current state of Tekken 8 is so fucking hilariously bonkers stupid that it wheels back around to being awesome and is exactly the kind of rude awakening Tekken fans need
I was told the reason Poison is not gonna make the cut in sf6 was completely different actually. Something to do about her japanese VA dying during sf6's lifespan and there is a cultural thing in japan about not recasting until the next major installement? (1/2)
(2/2) They could have had Roxy to fill in given she's her twin sister but they relegated her to a world tour npc like thrice now so i doubt its happening... Atleast we have Marisa being canonically bi and Manon being gay af for her but a trans rep would have been nice. Maybe Seth could still happen.
Capcom wins by making a legit good as fighting game that looks brilliant with some cool diverse character designs like Marisa and Kimberly. And it feels great to play and be good at. A game that made me want to be decent at it.
I'm a little upset bc he lost out on a few things from Xrd that were the reasons i wanted to play him in the first place (ball formations, teleport, ball properties changed significantly) but he still looks fun. Just a little tired of every character getting flattened for Strive
Idk, there's the whole Street Fighter league being funded by Saudi blood money thing. IMO, ArcSys is winning bc the worst they've got going on is questionable guest character choices.
Shoutouts to Granblue for also just kinda hanging around too, 2B is about the only DLC I saw people be iffy on everything else it's been nothing but excitement there
Bulk of bad stuff is good old "the previous game was better" discussions lol, I think the worst thing was that the game has a battle pass *at all* but now they're releasing previous BP costumes as regular DLC after a year and regular BP rewards as fight money shop stuff you don't even gotta pay for
well in fatal fury you only have to deal with armored strong attacks during a section of the health bar and in no other moment...........
but also im not gonna lie there are so many options everything has counter and countercounterplay so yea

Im so sad though I was so excited and now ugh
Certainly wouldn’t be the strangest FG announcement today
In lighter if still depressing news this probably halved the chances of Poison getting in :(
Welcome Back Fighting Game Dark Age
(Also they are getting their shit together after 4 years which is tangentially nice)
but also im not gonna lie there are so many options everything has counter and countercounterplay so yea
