@ConanTheStoner: even after all you wrote, it still doesn't convince me that it is not an overrated game. My stances were hyperbolic in my post, but I feel like it is an overrated game primarily from the sense that so many people play and watch the game, and not enough of other fighters in comparison especially when there are fighters that easily stand up to SFV in most facets in terms of quality.
Absolutely fine man, a thing being overrated or underrated is entirely subjective anyways. I think TW3 and the UC series are some of the most overrated games ever, while others view them as masterpiece material, is what it is lol.
I wasn't expecting to convince you otherwise, was only curious about your reasoning. And sure, if your reasoning strictly hinges on its popularity among FGC players and spectators, then yeah, I'm inclined to agree. It does suck seeing these other excellent FGs being sidelined by the games with the bigger names, you'll get no arguments here. And even as a spectator it sucks, because all of the pros will go where the money's at. I'm sure a good chunk of the top SFV players would like to be playing other games as well, but they stick to SFV religiously for the frequent tourneys, big payouts, and sponsorship.
