fanboys and is one of the most milked fighting franchise of all-time(even more so than Mortal Kombat). Agree or Disagree?
Don't get me wrong, I loved Street Fighter when I was playing Street Fighter II and Super Street Fighter II on the SNES and arcade but I honestly thought the newer Street Fighter games(SFIV) were overrated. They haven't added anything hugely new to the gameplay in SFIV other than enhanced graphics, cinematic cutscenes, focus attacks and ultra moves. On top of that, they keep re-hashing the same exact damn Street Fighter game by adding "Super" and "Ultra" to the title(the only thing new about the games are new added characters, that's about it).
I mean I know that Capcom has always been doing that with Street Fighter(making "Super" and "Ultra" versions) since the 2nd game but come on, those new fighters could have at least been DLC fighters for the original SFIV game and this was at the time when there was much more access to the internet for DLCs for all consoles while the old SNES games existed when there was no internet prevelent at home, therefore, making it excusable for Capcom to make Super and Ultra Street fighter games on those generation of consoles. The least Capcom could have done with Street Fighter IV was added a few more completely new features to the SFIV game like another game mode or possibly using the stage(for example: throwing your opponent onto a car and have them land on it) as an new attack move.
The newer Mortal Kombat games(from Deadly Alliance to X) were far from perfect but at least Ed Boon(creator of MK) is willing to add some huge changes and more new added features to his MK games, unlike Capcom with Street Fighter. Hopefully, Capcom finally adds some hugely new features to Street Fighter V once they release it for the PC and PS4.
Like I said earlier, I loved the older Street Fighter games and everything but I'm just speaking my own mind on it. If you guys are gonna rip me a new asshole for criticizing Street Fighter as an overall tournament fighting game franchise, then go ahead.
