FON, the Launch left a poor taste in a lot of people's mouth, mine included. SFV... I only came back for a minute for just Sagat and Rose. Then I ran my ass back to KOF and DOA again.
I will say this about Street Fighter 5. It ironically embraced the very fanservice DOA is often mocked for despite its e-sports push, among other games. And for that I gotta give 'em credit, 'cause it blows the hypocrisy of certain people in the FGC wide open.
lol I didn't even buy the game xD A shame, cause I was really into SSF4 back in high school. But I passed on SFV upon seeing the horrible launch, bad mechanics and the roster...good lord. Got to try it out when it was free for PS+ and didn't enjoy it. Waiting on gameplay of 6 first before I consider buying.
This might be weird, I actually use to play 3rd Strike Online edition religiously back on the PS3, way before DOA5. For some reason I do favor more of the old style of animation (like Alpha series anime comparison) or Cel types. Even Pixel sprites/Sprites. I never played SFIV but I had a blast watching events for it since they were incredibly hype. I never played SF5 either.
