    it’s a niche game that i know little about, have no interest in, and definitely am not going to shell out money for; he’s bitter that I don’t care and I’m not impressed that a franchise older than I am shat out another entry.

      Do you even like video games? Judging by your comments in this thread, they make you angry and bitter, so I don’t know why you bother to post about them.

        I don’t play a niche game franchise enough to see the difference between last year’s iteration and this one, therefore I must not like games at all. It’s FIFA with anime characters to me, doesn’t mean I don’t like other things.

          “A niche game franchise” lmao Street Fighter is one of the most popular and well known game series in the world. I won’t say it’s the best fighting game franchise, but it is very much a household name just as much as Mario or Pokémon are.

                fine, whatever. i still don’t know or care what the difference is and neither do the majority of people, pedantry notwithstanding. because it’s niche.

                    I know literally one person who plays fighting games seriously and keeps up with the market, to everyone else they’re once-on-a-while party games, if that. It’s not a bad thing, it just is. Calm down, Capcom won’t go on a date with you for defending their honor against the word “niche”.

          Street Fighter 1 was from 1987. Street Fighter 5 is from 2016. This is hardly a yearly franchise. Each release is a cornerstone of the fighting game genre. If you don’t like them or are uninterested, that’s obviously fine. But you’re using your ignorance to justify hating Street Fighter. That just doesn’t make sense and makes you come across as bitter. I would urge you to play the games you like, and ignore the games you don’t like. You’ll be generally happier.
