    I don’t play a niche game franchise enough to see the difference between last year’s iteration and this one, therefore I must not like games at all. It’s FIFA with anime characters to me, doesn’t mean I don’t like other things.

      Street Fighter 1 was from 1987. Street Fighter 5 is from 2016. This is hardly a yearly franchise. Each release is a cornerstone of the fighting game genre. If you don’t like them or are uninterested, that’s obviously fine. But you’re using your ignorance to justify hating Street Fighter. That just doesn’t make sense and makes you come across as bitter. I would urge you to play the games you like, and ignore the games you don’t like. You’ll be generally happier.

      “A niche game franchise” lmao Street Fighter is one of the most popular and well known game series in the world. I won’t say it’s the best fighting game franchise, but it is very much a household name just as much as Mario or Pokémon are.

          And saying it’s a niche genre is not the same as saying is a niche game franchise.

            fine, whatever. i still don’t know or care what the difference is and neither do the majority of people, pedantry notwithstanding. because it’s niche.

              there’s quite literally nothing niche about street fighter or the fighting genre. in the slightest.

                I know literally one person who plays fighting games seriously and keeps up with the market, to everyone else they’re once-on-a-while party games, if that. It’s not a bad thing, it just is. Calm down, Capcom won’t go on a date with you for defending their honor against the word “niche”.

                  unfortunately for you whatever personal experiences you have with the game don’t determine wheter it’s niche or not, neither does how much you’re interested in it or like it, also i’m not defending anyone, the word “niche” isn’t an attack as far as i know, you’re just wrong 🖤

                    next you’ll be insisting dance dance revolution isn’t niche because everyone knows what it is and some people actually play it.
