Street art, strength, and selling out: How Street Fighter 6 sacrificed its identity to chase brand synergy by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social

My boomer FG opinion is that having ex moves tied to a fully stocked meter that does not carry over to the next round that incentivizes cashing out on crazy damage is very annoying game design

"I am a victim of my own damage, they think I'm too overpowered they can im too easy to play" it's probably going to take me weeks to actually get started on this assuming of course I don't end up hating it and deleting it

People online talking about Tekken:
"Modern Tekken sucks! The damage is too high and the combos are too crazy! Tekken 5DR was the last honest Tekken game!"

![Marvel vs Capcom 2 – Original Release Date: 23rd March 2000
Celebrated by Ashley Schofield, Freelance Journalist
[An embedded trailer of Marvel vs Capcom 2 on Youtube]
Even twenty-five years out from its release, Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is still heralded as one of the most important fighting games of all time. An eternity away from beloved characters being reduced to just ‘functions’, the absolutely gigantic roster of equally famous and obscure picks is MvC2’s greatest weapon - where else can you find Doctor Doom and Hayato on the same screen?
While not the most balanced game in the world, the sheer amount of love for both worlds that shines through in characters’ animations, attacks and voice acting is sublime. Not to mention, we wouldn’t have had the likes of Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Tatsunoko vs Capcom without it, and that’s not a world I want to live in.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jmaldboour7faxw3qpbsg25h/bafkreie7gjotwyfgqs3ca6tkvtjfyljdqyenzwlqnvbt5oyx5a2mv45irq@jpeg)
