It's the ultimate year of fighting games! In less than a year we have seen major releases from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tekken. Each has their highs and some certainly have their lows. Here are my thoughts on each.

Music featured in order of appearance:
Silent Partner – Sad Past
Yoshiya Terayama – Walk with Grace - Manon’s Theme (SF6 Soundtrack)
Yasumasa Kitagawa – Not A Little Girl – Chun-Li’s Theme (SF6 Soundtrack)
Jeremy Blake – Heaven and Hell
Anno Domini Beats – Warzone

    SF6 is the most fun ive ever had playing a fighting game. Capcom knocked it out the park
  • @Mikhael366
    I still haven't played Street Fighter 6 but it is definitelymy favourite fighting game so far. For aesthetic reasons alone, it's better than the other two. The move sets are smoother and more cinematic. The character designs and base costumes fit each character well. And I love how they really emphasise the "street" in Street Fighter. My favourite characters: Ed Cammy
  • @neoconnor4395
    Dude hopefully MK1 is already working towards MK2 to undo this mess.... they need to kick it into overdrive like SF6 did.
  • @sonic-bb
    everyones hating on mk1, but honestly, when it comes to keeping my attention longer, this time it's going to mortal kombat. It just has way more characters i feel like playing. The combos look cooler. No bs drive impact lmao. Mortal kombat just has a more immersive atmosphere to me. I love street fighter, but i dont have a drive for playing more than like 2-3 characters. The World tour mode was cool, until i found out it's impossible to recreate a characters moveset because supposedly im trying to equip a move that uses the same inputs as another. Even tho im not. So that really sucks and made me not want to play it anymore. After making it to master rank and playing a bit further, i had no drive to continue playing. It became so sweaty. It was sweaty in platinum rank even. So idk, That wasnt too enjoyable
  • @Swiddler
    Yeah true that micro transactions for the devil. Wish developers would start realising that. Thanks for the fighter in insights it's Tekkens time in the limelight again
  • @poundtone2372
    Excellent analysis Sir and for that you gain a like and a subscription 😊
  • i think your view is shared by everyone that Tekken 8 was the best release followed by Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat is flopping hard
  • @james7133
    I agree, for me TKN8 is the most fun, SF6 is the most technical and MK1 the most painful. Up to this point I was an MK fan but alas they've let themselves down somewhat.
  • @DedSec4Chan
    "MK1 feels unfinished" Agree with that. And as mk fan I really hope we can see a good game in few years, cause I really waited for this game😢
  • @JalauroUrsa
    The Fighting Game Boom has been going on, since 2016; every year, since then, has had one or two decent titles.
  • @davidagiel8130
    All of these live service elements are why I still play SF3, MK Trilogy and Tekken 3.
  • Sf6 I haven’t played it in a while but when I do I going immediately to training ❤
  • @erheetrherh2659
    Look wise i like Mk1 the best but gameplay wise SF6 i find the most appealing.
  • super crossover mortal kombat 1 vs street fighter 6 vs tekken 8 ❤❤❤😀😀😀👍👍👍
