Pitch Black is pretty alright, it isnt great, but it is far from terrible. The rest of the films have a pretty strong downward trend though.

I think that’s missing a lot of the content. If SF6 was free to play, if wouldn’t have the single player portion. And would have had a couple of free characters.

2XKO is going to launch with something like 9 characters(might be missing remembering the number), Maybe they add more before release but it is a tiny roster for a tag game.

There is also massive changes between games, and they don’t disappear, so you can still have those tournaments. If it goes free to play, I feel like they kinda get stuck with the game and systems and no easy way to move onwards, with a bit of a PR nightmare(abandoning the game and all that).

I feel like there is pros and cons to both methods, but don’t really think f2p Street Fighter is a good move. I do think sf7 whenever that is released will be another paid game, and will be more expensive upfront.

While true, the base game is still only 60.

If I had to spend an additional 40 for just the base game(not the 2 seasons of characters), that would be a much harder sell.

I think there is maybe 1 game that I would consider spending 100 for the base game. And that’s because I love the series and it is very much a long term game for me, Street Fighter.

But that would be a very tough sell, it would have to be something really special to part with that much, even though I know I would get 1000s of hours out of it
