me neither, but its a indicator about if its a product for the masses or just for people who are really into genre xyz. non then less i still believe they learned and sf6 will be a fleshed out new console gen game title with decent netcode.
ed- one part of me on the other hand would like to see them going the f2p path which they nearly accomplished already just to see if it makes a difference or not, playerbase wise.
itâs not really about the masses though, and in FGs it never has. Theyâve been a niche market, and remain to be.
If you like an FG, itâs a good game. And thatâs subjective to everybody, and your interpretation of a flop is different to someone elseâs.
People can like SFV, and the sales record doesnât mean shit to make that a flop to a community.

Yeah you see it where games like Injustice 2 sell a bunch to a bunch of people who are not very involved with the game past acquiring gear and waiting for some sell out character to enter the gameâs universe. Then it becomes the lowest attended mainstream game at tournaments and you canât really hear about it much even with its own pro tour. Last time I watched a twitch stream for Injustice 2 it was just a guy talking to a stream monster about âwell the reason people play SF isâŚâ
Injustice 2 has good sales and good netcode, but at least within the FGC that doesnât seem to resonate a whole lot.
Injustice 2 has Mortal Kombat characters but it does not have Hawkgirl.
Thatâs a epic fail in my book. NO BUY !

people still play it, the overall reception is good and it grants them enough to continue doing fighting games or iterations of it. mvci had to suffer due to sfv(and other things) and we know how it endedâŚsf6 will need to be good for it not to share the same faith and i doubt capcom will let that happenâŚagain.
After looking at the customization options in SCâŚI hate SFV some moâ
When all is said and done, SF5 probably will end up making more money for Capcom than SF4 and the net result of what it brought to the table for us, Capcom, and the series will be most definitely be positive.

As much as i hate a lot of what SF5 does i hope it sells well so we can see SF6 quite fast after SF5 ends.
Having that said,i donât know how will Capcom see all this if SF5 does indeed make them a lot of money. Do they consider it a success and repeat the formula or put it more effort for SF6 ?
The way the launch was terribly handled aside, I hope they continue with this hybrid business model and refine it.

Not sure what to say about the current business model.
PRO :
Itâs good that we donât have to pay for tons of upgrades and versions of the game.
Itâs good i can buy costumes for the only characters i am interested in.
BAD :
Canât try a character before buying.
Canât even use them in training mode to practice against.
If you want the full game,you end up spending a lot of money.No rly,SFV is a very expensive game if you want all the characters.
You really have to be some cave dweller if you want to unlock all via fight money.

a one month grace period where the character is F2P would legit prolly have people donât buy characters buying season passes, cause theyâd find fun in ppl they never get to try.

Capcom should adopt Killer Instinct business model for SF6. There is no reason not to.
It is good for them, for the consumers and for the community as a whole.

The player should be able to at least try the character in TRAINING or the characterâs TRIALS before buying.
Risking 100k FM or 5 bucks to see if i maybe like the character is pretty bullshit imo.
Yeah people still play a lot of stuff through. Iâd just think by now id see an NRS game that isnât dead last in competitive turnout for once. It is geared towards a different consumer base though
