Topic	Name a worse fighting game sequel than SoulCalibur V
MrMallard 08/15/23 8:58:15 AM #8:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Street Fighter 5 was a confusing, compromised mess that took years to really shape up. The fourth game was a huge return to form after a controversial third entry, and the sixth game is probably the biggest that the game has been since Street Fighter 2 - so yeah, good example. I still don't think it hits the same low point as SCV though, since even at its lowest, it was eventually vindicated by DLC - V just sucked ass and died a pauper's death. Notti posted... I guess you mean the greatest fall from grace. Samurai Shodown 3 really fucked things up badly. I'm not the biggest SNK guy, care to elaborate? s0nicfan posted... Guilty Gear 2 Overture Man Guilty Gear 2 was bizarre. I've got it on Steam but I've got nothing to run it, can't wait to play it one day. Solid pick. Notti posted... Tekken 4. What a travesty. Tekken 4 was actually my first Tekken. The way that it and Tekken 5 did their individual character stories is actually really good. Playing it today, it's pretty slow and the characters play like big, inflatable parade floats. I kinda dig its silly, dingy sort of vibe - what with Paul's loose Nickelback hair and Combot replacing Mokujin as the ditto fighter. I also thought it had a very interesting story mode thing with the Mishimas, with their arcade paths veering into a true ending - it actually did raise the stakes in my opinion and put the lore on a pedestal in a way that was like crack cocaine to my imaginative childhood brain. Tekken 4 has its downsides, but I feel like it added a lot to the Tekken formula and story and what it did right was really expanded upon by Tekken 5. There's enough good in Tekken 4 (and enough personal nostalgia) that I wouldn't count SCV and T4 in the same breath. Tekken 6, on the other hand - the fuck was up with the beat em up style of the main campaign? What the fuck did that game do to the lore? I've got a lot less love for Tekken 6 than I do for Tekken 4. --- All I can eat is the poisonous apple, and that's not a story that I'm meant to survive. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:975462212] in Name a wor...
