SF6 looks pretty awesome. I've spent a ton of time watching footage and trying to understand the systems of the game. The question about 6 has been about what the systems would be - 3 has parries, 4 has focus attacks, 5 has v triggers, etc. SF6 has all of it jammed together. There's so much going on, multiple meters, and it's probably overwhelming.. but all of it also looks super fun.

If I was in my teens or 20s, this would be the easiest #1 pick in a while. I would play the ever loving hell out of this. But, as I get older, I kind of recognize that I'm probably never going to devote myself to playing dozens of hours to learn the intricate nuances of a competitive game. It's just not something I'm willing to commit to when I have so many other things going on and so many other options to play. And so, this is a game that I will probably admire at a distance, assuming it actually is as good as it seems. I'll love watching the competitive scene and following the tier lists and trying to do a few moves here and there with Ryu because that's about all I can really commit to. And the game will still be great - just with me mostly by the sidelines.
