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.

[@Akinos-]

I believe the release rate of character is slowed down because of World Tour. They need to implement the new character inside of WT and create dialogues, etc that they didn't need to do in the past games. I'd love 6 a year as well, but I doubt it will happen because of the extra work they gave themselves by implementing every new characters to WT

[@anti-roxas850]

I'd say the opposite for me. Akuma is possibly the most boring character to be hyped for. If anything, it's going to make online matches a lot more annoying. Give me new characters, characters that barely got the spotlight. Not some character they used to be free and treated like some premium Ryu

[@Fyrijou]

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.

[@ektran4205]

[@saunterrrr]

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.

[@monchete9934]

The competitive scene exists but it's completely detached from the game. Besides the recent pick'em event, there has been NO in-game advertisement of World Warriors nor online qualifiers, which are done in a separate website. The early establishment of a meta makes online qualifiers besides the big regions less exciting to watch than they already are and there's little motivation to run tournaments if they aren't a qualifier. The views don't reflect that because they are botted but the static chat shows how little traction they actually get.

[@wh33landaxel1]

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.

[@etrotm1226]

Theres only one thing I disagree with and its about the story mode. Personally I dont mind fighting a bunch of CPU opponents at all. Plus you got minigames like Scrap Heap 1 and 2, Hado Pizza, Breaking the Boards, etc. The only thing I can agree in regards to story mode.... It is a grind to unlock the costumes. On top of that you need to be connected to the internet to unlock the 2nd costumes that way too or else youre a sitting duck. Its especially somewhat annoying when they already shown the 2nd costumes for all the fighters, so it felt like it should have been there in the beginning. And if they HAVE to be unlocked, at least let us have alternative ways other than paying, like complete arcade mode with a character to get their costume. And it wouldnt be too much either since you got an option to do 12 stages, or 5.

[@BlueLightningSky]

Tekken 8 great story mode? The most generous way to describe it is it's not a terrible Tekken movie. You learn so much about each character in SF6's world tour, but you still learn nothing about Jin in Tekken 8 other than generic Japanese protagonist.

The dick measuring contest over game sales should only matter to the companies that make the games, not the players.

B) What that number is as a percentage of the all time concurrent peak (to get an idea about what percentage of players are playing the game long term).

[@lukejones7164]

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

[@RaxArcade]

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

[@kitestar]

Ech! MK1 is probably in more trouble than SF6

[@anthonylowe8819]

Nah I feel like SF6 and Tekken 8 cater two sides of the spectrum as far as ease of entry goes. But both are great casually and competitively for all players.

[@leelee7334]

No video on Mortal Kombat 1

[@Inspectornills]

Does it feel that nowadays people are unfairly comparing new games to old ones? I mean yea, T8 just came out so people would play it over SF6 which has been out for a while now but just because T8 is the brand new game on the block doesn't mean SF6 is in trouble. People will chose to play the fighting game that suites them. For all we know. people could grow tired of T8 and go back to SF6 in a couple of months.

[@joyboy3084]

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

[@xavierhouston4650]

As someone who lost faith in MK, facts.

[@Akkbar21]

This sounds like yt drama creation for views.

[@trey18v]

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

[@tonilarios]

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.

[@grinsekatzedecheshire7754]

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

[@dregnoff9361]

The Character looks fine, way better than in sf5 The trailer looks fine too Problem is yall have no interest in Ed.... and that's ok

[@garlicblue6797]

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

[@StewartWild]

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.

[@RonSanPedro83]

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.

[@sancho0813]

Respectfully disagree. SF has so many characters people want. Guest characters scream desperation and cash grabs. They need to just give the game more content.

[@RonSanPedro83]

@@sancho0813 while it is true that Capcom have a treasure trove of fighting game characters waiting to be used (rival schools for one being criminally under utilised), all of those appeal to folks who are already a fan and probably 30-40 years old and old. What Tekken, smash bros and MK did was lure in casuals, since SF6 already have modern and dynamic controls specifically targeting those demographics it only makes sense to go all in with the game plan, I am aware how elitist Street Fighter fans are, but financially speaking casual players is where the money at.

[@sancho0813]

And lastly…. All the tekken fans HATED akuma.

[@RonSanPedro83]

@@sancho0813 didn't stop pro players from picking him until when they nerfed him to the ground lol. At the end of the day a well thought off guest character will more likely attract new players. I think KOF became more mainstream in the North America because of their collaboration with Capcom. So I guess it wouldn't hurt. I don't know, just thinking about the big picture, I guess.

[@sancho0813]

@@RonSanPedro83 akuma is definitely still the best character in the game. Every time they “nerfed” him, they inadvertently buffed him. He breaks the game. And the pro scene picked him because it was a free “W” not because they liked him. He was also too technical for casuals to get work out of him. Those players picked negan.

[@valentynminytskyi6228]

Personally for me Ed is the most interesting DLC character so far, proper boxer with psycho power flavor. So not sure what you are talking about :)

[@patrykzukowski7471]

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.

[@lucidvalidity7056]

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

[@ThouzandWattz]

As of June 26th 2024, I just checked twitch. MK1- 783 viewers Tekken 8 - 1.4K viewers SF6- 25K viewers You just hate this game bro just admit it you hated it before it even came out because of the hip hop aesthetic. I remember you had a video saying hip hop does not belong in Street Fighter games. And that is where I unsubscribed.

[@alexprach]

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.

[@blumiu2426]

Is this the 90s? No, you pay for characters now. I agree people are sad to complain and then buy DLC, but SF6's roster was kept so small for a reason. Capcom is going to sell a bulk of them and it starts to make sense why the MTX on character outfits made them add DRM over mods. They'd make so much off of milking every bit they can.

[@etrotm1226]

Most people would say that is ass backwards. Personally I kinda like that transition better. I never mind going from Street Fighter 4 to Super to Ultra. Especially if they make the expansions cheaper instead full price. But I dont think Capcom is gonna do it that way sadly since they are aware more than ever now on how most feel about the Vanilla to Super to Hyper to Ultra etc.

[@LectricVonThunder]

Not the same. Vast majority of people dont mind paying for things that add to the game experience like characters. As long as the base game feels complete and it's reasonably priced.

[@CursedCrew1981]

Hey there, i sell games for a living i can tell you this fighting games sell, but out of Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 out if the two i sell out of Street Fighter on a normal basis, but as of late i get a lot of MK fans complaining that after the story mode the game is boring. Im not saying one is better, im saying Street Fighter is still selling.

[@jtru8989]

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

[@HaohmaruHL]

Tekken gameplay is jsut basically who starts spamming juggle first wins

[@JerryEsquer]

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.

[@conradojavier7547]

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

[@ektran4205]

system and individual character mechanics will suffer with a larger roster

[@granlobo28]

I think you're mixing your own perception of the game with the actual health of the game, what's called the ad populum bias, 16k daily concurrent players isn't having poor health

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.

[@blackskullinc.5450]

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....
