[@BilalKhan-ng3ex]

No big company is gonna do pixel art, it's too expensive. It takes forever! And there's literally no easy way to make costume dlc for characters so not only is it more expensive, you can't get any extra money and that's the number 1 thing big companies want.

[@jameswasdin654]

This game and KOF XIII are among my favorites of beautiful sprite work in fighting games. Sprite drawn games in general are a criminally dying art.

[@amirjubran1845]

As much as I love this game, I hate watching tournaments because Chun-Li ruins it. She's too easy to use effectively compared to the rest of the cast. Sure, Yun may be considered just as good as her, but look at how much effort and execution is required to use him.

[@rvrmdude]

Spot on. I hated playing against guys who would pick chun li.

[@ivan9960]

just watch cooperation cup 4Head, watching US 3 rd strike LUL

[@campos3452]

It’s all about the parry with chun-li if your confidant parrying then chun is a no brainer something I didn’t see in this tourney

[@patrickmchugh4616]

That's why I love watching cooperation cup. Japanese players are so next level and they have a lot of low tier gods like Kuroda, Pierrot, PinoAB7, etc. Watching low tier masters beat up on lazy Chun Li pickers is VERY satisfying. I think the lack of diversity in the US is simply lack of imagination and dedication to the game.

This is what's known as "event mode". It's designed to reset after a match because if a new match sits down to play, they have to wait until the winner of the last match has to be defeated. It's a forced reset.

Tekken 3 almost had a brand new roster as well and is one of the best selling FG in the community. SF3 failed because it was lack of promotion and 3D gaming was the new thing. On top of this, SF3 couldnt be played on consoles early in that generation because of how powerful the game was. Some people didnt even know this game existed, which this was doing the time when the arcades were at the stages of becoming extinct. People wouldve loved this game just as much as the others.
