  • This is a topic I've wanted to cover forever, but was never really sure how to about until now. It's common knowledge at this point that SFV has really been through the wringer, but it's come a seriously long way since then, especially since Season 5. Considering the current state of the game, I can confidently say I love Street Fighter V, so let's talk about that!

    I’m still impressed by how well Dan was handled. Obviously still a joke but his taunts are becoming more useful, he had the coolest “nerf” with red fireball, he got the punches from omega and he has a 1 bar v trigger. What’s not to love?

      His VT1 when fully charged is actually probably the second best projectile in game when it comes to interacting with another. Only Gill's VT1 breaks it or another Dan charged VT1.

    SFV is currently an amazing game. Most of the detractors online parrot the same talking points that either are no longer relevant/present in the final version of the game, or are just purposefully vague and don't actually describe their faults with the game. The "stubby normals" and "characters tools are locked behind v-trigger" are just not that true? And I don't think it speaks to what they actually don't like about the game (Do you WANT Oro to have tengu stones all round?).
    SFV is a good game. But it will always be cool to hate on it.

    I have mixed feelings about SFV, though it’s more positive than negative and I like it WAY more than 4. One thing I can give it credit for is being the only time I’ve seen a character get nerfed and think “woah that’s genius”. Dan’s random red fireball is one of the most clever character changes I think I’ve ever seen in a fighting game, full stop.

      I know if you're not interested in actually playing then I can't make you, but I totally want to recommend getting Street Fighter 6 on the launch day, if you can. The first few months of a new fighting game's release is one of the most fun times to play a fighting game. Even if it's your first arcade fighter, you'll have just as much experience with the game as everyone else. You might even be able to beat a mid level player, like Big Yellow.
      Even if you don't want to play online, there looks like enough single player content to still make a fun game and it's looking really good. It also has easier controls (basically Smash inputs) if you just want to see and do cool moves/combos.

    It's not perfect but it was the game that opened my eyes to the genre. I always played sf4 and mkx thinking these games are fun to press buttons in but getting good is just to time consuming. Sfv was the first fighter I attempted to get good in and I'm pretty happy with the results. I started as a measly know nothing bronzie back in season 2 of the game and became a crusty old man hardstuck in diamond before the games final update released. My golden epiphany with this game though was that I understood the basis on how fighters worked. I understood how to take the tools the game gave me and utilize them, system mechanics, frame data and all. It's almost like learning a language and the reward was getting to communicate towards a broader audience. Now I can play sf4, sf3, mk11, Ggxrd, ggs at a moderate level and enjoy myself.

    As much as I liked the sides gimmick for Gill, giving him fire and ice versions of moves was such an insanely good idea, and giving Dan the rapid punches to make him even more of a parody of SNK's Ryo was genius as well.
    I also like the V-system in concept but they felt oddly tacked on to me. Making the Skills and Triggers into regular moves or supers for some of the world warriors in SF6 just made them shine even more, especially Guile's Sonic Blade, and Ryu's charge trigger just being turned into a binary state was a fantastic touch

    I really really love Akira, because even though her kit was fundamentally a bit on the basic side, she made up for it with complex interactivity, depending on opponent positioning; her combos change so much, and she rewards recognizing different situations more than most characters too, she has the stuff I really love from SF3: niche, high power and *flexible* juggles, optimizing all the different juggle positions and starters feels so good, and then you mix in the feint cancels they added later, her super jump stuff and it's just the best.
    Also her EX VS1 Fireball which is just a wall bouncing fullscreen gun is just so addicting

    I started playing fighting games with +R, right at the end of 2021, and it was kinda stressful to learn how to pay attention to the screen and react to things when you have so many moving parts that can also change with every character, so it's no surprise I ended up being pretty burned out after a while of stressing myself in match and while labbing. Then I tried SFV, and while it still was stressful at times, I started to slowly learn how to observe my opponent (who was generally at the same skill level as I was) and react accordingly, and then, I fell in love with how this communication works, with how you can say to another person "I know what you're doing" and they can also say that to you, just by how they act in game. Now, I still can get stressed at times, but even then I have fun, I can laugh about what happened and still learn one thing or another about mine or other characters. When I reached my goal in SFV (reaching ultra silver, I know it's a minor achievement, but it's something I did), I went back to +R with this different mindset and fell in love with the game too! Now I'm trying to get some time free to improve more in SFV. So yeah, for helping me to really get into fighting games, SFV will have that little special place with me.
    (P.S. Your videos also helped me a lot during this journey, as it was pretty entertaining and sometimes useful to learn more about anything related to fighting games. Thank you!)

    Also, since you ended the video by basically giving me permission to promote my favourite fighting game to the world, have you ever taken a look at Blazblue Centralfiction?
    It has a lot of the same things you love about SFV (very flexible combos, rewards players for experimenting with weird confirms and combines input leniency with high situational awareness). At the same time, it shares a lot of the DNA of Guilty Gear, and seeing how you play both +R and Strive that may be a good thing for you.
    I'd personally recommend you start by taking a look at Azrael; he's a big body who hits like a truck and has unbelievably flashy combos that are mechanically simple, but feature a ton of variation based on starters, screen position and spacing. I think you'd like him a lot!

When you were talking about how watching the game was so much fun because you could see pros do things and then do them yourself, I really felt that same connection because that’s how I learned everything I know about all fighting games. SFV is my first Street Fighter game and I’ve only been playing fighting games for like 3 or 4 years total, so it was super neat stumbling into the end of a game that I genuinely loved. I’ve only played street fighter since Oro came out, so I guess I don’t really have the full experience, but the last few months of this game have been the most fun I’ve had in the FGC since I started playing Tekken 7 in 2017-2018.

Right now I’m hardstuck silver and I’m learning the game with Cody and I’m having an absolute blast. I’m a Cody one trick but I plan to pick up more characters as I improve. I want to hit gold before SF6 releases. I’m not sure if I can say I love it just yet but I do love playing Cody and I do really enjoy the game. I really do want to get better at the game and fighting games in general. I played a bit of guilty gear strive and even though I’m extremely mashy in that game (I’m kinda mashy in fighting games in general) I absolutely love it.

It's not just shimmys and cross ups (though silver Ryu's and Ken's would tell you differently). This game is full to the brim with everything that makes a fighting game great. My only regret is that I didn't get into it sooner.

    I think it helps that I've absolutely loved every character I've played (Urien, Gill, Oro)

    SFV ended up not being a game I could personally really get into but I enjoyed the time I spent with it. This is a really cool video.
    As for an underappreciated game that I like, people meme a lot on Dino Rex for being a bad game (and they're right that it's pretty rough) but I find the way space control plays out in it really neat, in no other game has the corner been scarier and it adds a lot of tension to an otherwise very barebones fighter. It's got a lot of charm graphically too and I really think it could have been a very unique entry if the devs had had more time to polish it up.

    Wow what a love letter to SFV. I love this game too and thanks for this vid.
    Its funny cause this was the main SF game for my duration of college. I wanted to get good at it seriously too. When game launched I went with Bison because the was the only character I kind of wanted to learn. That was the first ever charge character I learned and I remember back then thinking I didn't want to play a charge character. I'm glad I put the time in though because he taught me you can do it if you out in the effort.
    I came back when Kage was announced because he's my favorite edgelord just to mess around a bit. I actually started playing a bit of ranked with him. I had gotten better at other fighters since then and could actually do more combos and confirms than when I last touched the game.
    Then I finally came back after getting into more SFV content creators and oh man did I truly come to realize what an awesome game this is. I finally committed hard to learned Zeku. That character has taught me so much about fighting games I don't even know where to start. It was such a commitment to learning two characters essentially, but it was so rewarding. He really in the character for me in how cool he is and his swiss army knife gameplay. He really was a character I believed in and grew with. I think I'm better at dissecting any other fighting game I ever pick up from this point on because of my time spent in the lab, ranked, and locals playing Zeku.
    Its been great to watch this game grow over time. You just feel like a proud Dad knowing how far its come top be such a sick game.

    I didn't get into SFV until well after the Champion Edition had already come out, and I absolutely loved it. was kinda shocked to hear that so many people hated it, until I learned of the launch. it kinda made sense to me then, but it doesn't change how I feel about the game

  • @futer1987

    With SFV being my first fighting game, I always felt a bit sad seeing people shit on it - me being a semi-seasoned fighting game player now who’s not a fan of modern controls in 6, I totally get it now in retrospect but still makes me kinda sad. Maybe it’s because of the particular time in my life I started playing this game but I just feel such a deep connection to it. Hearing songs like the arcade edition theme, fang’s theme, alex’ theme or zeku’s theme legit brings a tear to my eye nowadays. Another thing that I really like about it is the art style and just the whole vibe it brings to the table - out of all the Street Fighter games, I think V succeeds the most at getting the whole “fighting all over the world with a culturally diverse roster of fighters” vibe that was SF’s whole M.O. since the start, and it being so colorful just reinforces that (was really sad seeing how gray and drab 6 is in comparison when the reveal trailer dropped). I get that Ken is really ugly but imo the game looks amazing and as it went on, they definitely nailed the style by the end. Anyhow, I’m glad to see I’m not alone in liking the game so much.

    SFV is the first fighter where I went from a button mashing noob to actually understanding fundamentals and game mechanics. The crush counter sound is like a huge church bell, so I would whip out my optimal crush counter combo. Playing Mika also made the game fun (for me) because the grappler gameplay can really be obnoxious sometime.

    It took me a longggg time to get into Street Fighter V. SFIV was the first fighting game I ever got into learning for real, and SFV felt too different from it and I never gave it a proper chance. Not to mention that the game had none of my characters from IV. But season 5 really drew me in with those dev videos and Dan, probably my favorite or second favorite character from IV (possibly second to Dudley, who I remain very sad that he wasn’t in V and doesn’t look like he’ll be in the base roster of VI)

    I actually really appreciated the simplicity of old SFV but even with all the extra options and new combo routes, there’s still a Blanka or Alex or Ed to help out a scrub like me to have fun and do damage without needing to learn super difficult combos.

    SFV has definitely come a long way from its abysmal launch, and the changing of the developmental guard between seasons 4 and 5 lent a lot to that. More focus on player expression, more communication from devs to community, a legit universal defense mechanic......the pendulum definitely swung back in the right direction.
    If I had ONE gripe about V-Shift, it's that the activation input is a little wonky. I would've assigned it to Back+PPP or Back+KKK, which makes more sense considering Forward+PPP/KKK gives you your V-Reversal. The way it was incorporated makes it seem like more of an afterthought than it really should be, but that's just me.

    I want to shout out a game that has become my favorite FG of all time that I found right as covid lockdown happened which is The Last Blade 2. Its an old SNK game from the late 90's. The best way to describe it is Samsho aesthetic with 3rd Strike like gameplay. If you have a PC the best way to play it is on Fightcade but there was a PS4 version that got good rollback it just doesn't have many people playing it.

    It might sound weird to mention the highest-selling fighting game of all time in a discussion about fighting games that don’t get enough love, but I feel like Smash Ultimate does fall into that category in its’ own weird way.
    Even though seemingly everyone has played it and at least kinda likes it, I don’t know if I can think of a game who’s own fanbase so regularly takes for granted and doesn’t appreciate the new content introduced by it.
    Like, while everyone talks about how there are 80+ characters or 1,000+ songs in Ultimate, I barely ever see people just sit back and appreciate that Smash Ultimate is a fighting game with *115* stages, which is insane. Even most traditional fighting games, where the stages are just flat plains, don’t get anywhere near that number of stages, but it feels like the Smash community rarely appreciates it.
    And even when it comes to those things that people do appreciate Ultimate for like the size of the roster and soundtrack, it feels like everyone always forgets that Ultimate itself is responsible for big chunks of both; it’s tied with Smash 4 for introducing the most newcomers (and has a better batch of characters out of the two imo) and had more newly-recorded music than any other Smash game, with about 190 songs on the soundtrack being new to Ultimate.
    And when it comes to those characters, while people appreciate the _roster,_ I really do feel like the individual _characters_ don’t get enough love, with most players choosing to rant constantly about the dozen or so characters they dislike instead of talking about the 3-5 dozen they do like.
    I’ll stop here because I’m definitely starting to ramble, so I’ll just end this by saying that I really hope with Ultimate’s 5th anniversary coming up this year, (yes, already💀) more genuine love and appreciation for the game and the new content it brought to the table can come out of the community. Too many people now just treat it like a compilation of the older Smash games mushed into one game, but it’s more than that, and it wouldn’t be one of my favorite games of all time if it wasn’t.

    street fighter v I think doesn't get enough credit for its roster imo, its the only sf game where you can play with every boss character in the series, and it brought back old characters with new moves, character development, connections between the old and new characters, and cool newcomers as well, i honestly like them all.
    My favorite thing from sfv, is how they brought back Nash as part of the illuminati, and hes a zombie with kof rugal's genocide cutter. I know his story was a wasted opportunity, but hes still a sick character, and my main.
    sfv was probably the first in the series to try some other features as well, some of these features straight up suck or is useless (ads on characters) but i recall they released a trial version of the game for free, and thats how i got into the game few years ago, if it wasnt for that i probably wouldve never tried it, and i bought my first character with fight money, also the first in the series to have all versions as free updates.

    I only got around playing SFV a few months ago as I finally bought a gaming laptop I do really like the game, I decided to pick up Sakura as she is usually the character I play until I find my actual main but I find her really fun in this game. The roster overall is great Sagat, G and Akira are some others I really like, only characters I'd have liked to have seen added who did not are Dudley, Necro and some SFIV charcters like C. Viper and El Fuerte. Though Dudley is the the biggest lack tbh
    I do agree with you stance with casual match I also like to add that I would have like if the character select menu was available so easilly try out a different character and since it is casual without any stakes it should have been possible to keep picking a different character if you so desire.

When street fighter came out we bought it at the end of season 1, and me and my father played for a long time figuring out stuff together, I was a bit older so I finally got to learn the game, and for the first time in like, 10 years, I beat my father and I started to cry, this game is so special to me, and I love it so much.

    Never got to play the game(broke on a city with no tournaments for it), but was by far my favorite as a spectator. I decided to watch traditional fgc stuff during a lull in smash tournaments and while I'm still much more focused on smash, sf5 was the game I felt the most like I could intuitively understand what was going on and then apply it to understanding other games. I couldn't intuitively tell why 1 frame links were impressive, but when someone did a sick crush counter juggle I could see that was cool. this also meant that whenever I wanted to watch games other than smash, it was generally the easiest for me to get caught up on again. My only gripe with it was them leaving Luke intentionally broken after the patch. I get trying to avoid a season 3 situation, but having a simple all arounder character be by far the best character in the game has made the last couple of months of tournaments a lot less interesting, and unless Luke is banned in future tournaments it will make me a lot less interested in watching sf5 tournaments for combo breaker and shit after sf6 lauches
