How is SC overall by the way? never played the series. I did consider on making the attempt to pick it up many years back but just never bought it or just downright forgot. Think the most I looked into the series is story summary and it's characters to remember each of their names. Other than that, never really played.
SCVI is damn fun. Third most enjoyable fighter for me to just pick up and play. I have some serious problems with it both in the content & gameplay departments, but apparently I hate everything, so take that with context.
The series itself is kind of a tragic story. The first few games were amazing, with SC2 in particular being mechanically brilliant (easily took the spot of "best fighter" until the release of DOA5)
But somewhere down the line they just got really off base, and never fully re-aligned themselves. SCVI is a step in the right direction, but it's still not as good as SCII, which was released over 15 years ago. They forced in egregious meters, fucked up their lighting engine, and started making terrible roster choices. So basically, SC did DOA6 before it was cool.
@DestructionBomb I highly recommend it. SCVI is a solid 3D fighter (with some, "blemishes" of course). The movement in SCVI is great and the movesets are quite comprehensive too. You might enjoy it! But yeah, SCII was still the pinnacle of the series.
