Of course no one data point can explain a game’s success or failure, but this is a pretty thorough and mostly objective review of the past 10 years.

I am personally a fan of how well the fighting game community knows each other. I hear Sajam’s name come up al lot. I think the dude hosts fighting game tournaments?

Since this is a games thread. I heard fighting games explained like: “In fighting games there’s only you. No teammates to mess you up. No fancy maps to mess with you. Just you vs another person. No one to blame for your failure but yourself.”

Sounded like a neat perspective. Personally I just like play Mai

  He lost the banana hair he had in SF5, but now he’s homeless, on the run from the law, accused of terrorism or something. At least you can use his classic costume.

  He’s ready to join the Moyogi Knight Kids and start his drifting saga.

I honestly just don’t care for what comes next any longer unless it’s developed by French-Bread or we get a new Darkstalker from Capcom (or new airdasher IP)

And on that note: new Melty looks nice.

ASW will obviously double down on accessibility and homogeneity after Strive’s success, and I never really enjoyed standard Capcom/SNK output anyway. 3D fighters aren’t for me either.

I would welcome new blood to the airdasher sungenre though. ASW propping up a new Japanese indie studio would be a perfect surprise.

  Homogeneity? Strive’s got one of the most diverse rosters in the genre.
  
  I think Capcom has a new fighter in the works, and I think we’re 50/50 on it being either DarkStalkers or Capcom vs. SNK 3. I’d be surprised they made a new fighter that wasn’t one of those two in the near future.
  
  Did you try Avatar for your air dasher needs? There’s no air blocking, but it’s built around aerial movement.

    You’d have to be comparing it to SF6 or something to say that because there’s no way you’re comparing it to Plus R or even Xrd.

    I don’t trust the people behind this game seeing how they fucked over Them’s Fightin’ Herds, or at least have strong ties to that entity. Would rather wait a bit more before giving it a shot.
