| Topic | What do you consider to be the most revolutionary video game ever? |
| Rango 12/24/20 3:53:37 PM #78: | Wanglicious posted... even by these bizarre metrics, Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 4 would be bigger considering fighting games were dying again until the latter came out. Melee didn't revive the fighter scene, fighters were dying through its release and Brawl. SF4 came out, boom, triple everything else at EVO, massively more views, and fighters became a mainstream genre again as opposed to a niche. Street Fighter IV definitely had that "revive the FGC" thing going for it. It was kinda obvious nothing was really selling hard even though SoulCalibur IV had just come out. SF4 paved the way for BlazBlue, UMvC3, and MK9 to shine. Revolutionary, I'm not sure would describe it as. I would say it was "revolutionary" the way that Xenoblade Chronicles breathed life back into the JRPG genre and made the genre become mainstream in the west. azuarc posted... SF2 >>> any Smash in this discussion. Trying to defend Smash is ludicrous and reflects your age. Nobody who was around and playing games in '92-'96 when Street Fighter was ubiquitous in the arcades would try to defend Smash here. The only argument -- only argument -- that SF2 doesn't take this without a fight is the existence of Mortal Kombat as a rival and an alternative. You are going in way too serious about this, my man. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
