Month old game has less player than year old game

Literally happens to every fightan game that isn't made by Capcom. They sell big on launch, then the online community dies within a month.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN KAPPABROS!?? IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR, IT WAS TEKKEN'S TURN, THIS WAS OUR YEAR TO STICK IT TO THE CAPKEKS!!!!

Street Fighter V just had a new character release today.

This thread is disingenuous.

If you actually look at the steam chart numbers, Tekken 7 is doing better now than Street Fighter V did at this point after it's launch.

>>385170504
Based Abigail saving SFV
We did it bros, tekken is finished
How can tekkeks possibly recover?

>>385170504
New character in SFV came out so thats why SFV numbers are up but you just started this thread to start some fanboy war bullshit so whatever

Numbers always temporarily go up when a new characters comes out in SFV.

New character and SFV still didn't beat Tekken 7's peak player count today.

It really is amazing how SFV still attracts so many players more than a year after release even with Reddit, Twitch chat and YouTube comments shitting on it 24/7. I don't even think it's a good fighting game, but anything that makes /r/kappa mad makes me happy.

>>385171730
It averages a little over 1,000 players at any given time.

That's not any different than SFIV. It's just a shame that SFV isn't better than SFIV otherwise who knows where it could be.

It's more comical that SFV has a new character today and yet didn't come close to reaching Tekken 7's peak player count today.

This is the Capcbro's delusion I've been hearing about.

>>385172329
He's interesting but I'm not too crazy about him.

I agree the comparisons are retarded but at least be accurate about them. If you're going to say "WOW LOL T7 IS DEAD" when in reality SFV can't beat it's peak player count with a new character released then it's not about being autistic, it's about being delusional.

fighting games, and PC gaming in general, is getting more populated as time goes on.

Tekken 7 sold more on Steam than it did on Xbox One, by a lot.

>>385173108
God damn it, I wish I was good enough at GG to justify buying this

>>385173396
Wow, this game got absolutely shit on by Overwatch.

>>385173448
I live on the East Coast US and I see MAX 5 lobbies, sometimes none at all, and all of them usually around green rank or below. It's going to be very hard to find matches in a year, especially if you make it past green.

>>385173471

Xbox always has the weakest sales anon, especially this generation.

You can learn the easier characters (Ky, Sol, Sin, Raven) in a weekend. GG's simple characters are as basic as any SFV character

I dunno man, call me old fashioned handsome and smart, but I just prefer to buy certain genres on certain platforms. I wouldn't buy an fps on console and I wouldn't buy a fighting game on pc.

>>385173858

But I want to play a Female character.

>>385174591
just pick who you like, if you really like a char you may force yourself to learn them/it will be more fun to learn harder stuff .

Tekkenbros...why...

>>385175054
My point is that the majority of the community plays on console so for fighting games that makes them the better experience. You're going to be using a pad or fightstick on either platform so input device isn't an issue and the games are capped at 60fps so performance isn't an issue.

>>385175283
So you can shitpost about it, clearly

If Tekken does poorly, is that the end of the 3D fighting genre?

330KB, 800x1118px

>>385175571

>>385175361
yet the PC fighting game population keeps growing.

performance does seem to differ between console and PC as well. Tekken 7 for instance is considered to be superior on PC by a long shot. It performs better, it looks better, and it has less input lag.

>>385175729
>keeps growing

Tekken went from 16k to 2k in a month anon

>>385175729
Yeah it's slowly growing, but the majority of the population is still on console making it the better experience imo. Fighting games and exclusives are the only time I prefer my console.

>>385175864
every game has a dive in population.

it's peak player today was over 4.5k either way, which is great for a fighting game.

>>385176091
thankfully the only fighting game I care about right now is considered to be much better on PC by the entire community.

>>385176251
Even then unless I'm mistaken ps4 is tourny standard so if you went to locals or whatever you'd be at a disadvantage.

>shows tekken activity being consistent for the last week
>shows a spike in SFV which put it equal to the daily low of tekken
are all you retards incapable of reading graphs?

>>385173108
I wish the animations didn't look so unnecessarily choppy by hanging up on one frame

>>385171507
Tekken 7 turned Aris into a Weeb

>>385177463
That's a promo vid to highlight the graphics engine. The actual gameplay is fluid

>>385178598
no, the animations are themselves are quite fluid. That is, until they just stop. It's their way of emphasising impact that makes them seem choppy.

>>385179152
You mean the hitstop? Almost every fighting game has it. It allows you to better see what move was used. Guilty Gear has good visuals, but these aren't anime fight scenes

>>385179152
>>385179826

don't they lower the animation frame rate to give it more of an anime feel?

that's what I've heard at least. Guilty Gear is fun but it looks choppy because of this.

>>385179826
I understand, but other fighters somehow make them seem more natural. That said, I've only experience with soku and Tekken.

>>385170504
This is probably because Tekken 7 doesn't have cross system play like SF5.
People are more likely to buy it on a console where the player base will be larger.
Almost everyone I know who got Tekken 7 got in on PS4.

>>385179938
No, hitstop is an animation technique designed to make things feel "weighty".

I'm not sure I even want to go back any more.

>>385180384
I'm not talking about hitstop specifically, I'm talking about the animations in general.

I just looked it up and they do deliberately make the characters run at lower FPS.

>>385181046

It's happened the last 3 times with SF. Everyone shits on the new game for not being as good as the rest, but in the end all anyone wants to play is SF. What's really sad is that Tekken routinely outsells SF, but as you evidenced nobody's playing it within a month.

>>385181103
Easier to animate. It's a reason why films haven't moved past 24fps. It would more than double the workload for CG animators and production time.

They did this with the new guilty gear that is 3d modeled instead of sprites to still make it have a classic fighting game feel even though there are no sprites.

>>385182441
Scv sold as much as TTT2 without a budget or snoop dogg marketing.
People actually do want a series that changes things.

Harada got jealous and got it killed.

>>385182468

Street fighter is the big name in fighting games. just like daigo is the big name in the fgc even though he's not really that good anymore

So even if SF5 is shit, people still feel like they need to play because because its street fighter.
