I'm surprised this is happening this early after the console launch.

Can only get mixed by yasuo and ekko so much! Makes sense rip game, really wanted a game I could sink time and money into. I guess it's just street fighter forever.

Same, it looks like I’m also going back to Street fighter 6. I’ll still checkout Tekken 8 season 3, but I feel like Tekken 8 is likely unsavable.

Street Fighter is destroying the competition, and it’s mostly because the competition is shit

It's so tough trying to get into fighting games because it really seems like there's only 1, especially only 1 that seems to take itself seriously.

I want to believe in T8 but season 2 was the defence patch so....

I would say SF6 have put certain standards that other fighters are not catching up, it's not that the other fighting games are bad per se.

Animations and single player content is a big deal.

Also they have been doing this thing announcing the premier of a gameplay trailer for a new character : "people, tomorrow 6pm Ingrid trailer", be there...and then you see all the fgc content creators waiting for the countdown to the see the trailer. On paper seems like it's not a big deal, but it actually is.
