I’m actually grateful for this. Vanguard was exactly what I needed to stop playing the game. I had an unhealthy relationship with it and this actually helped me.

I tried it (monster hunter rise) after the DRM update and it’s working fine now.

I think it looks super fun. It scratches an itch that no other fighter does. I liked X and 11 both not perfect, but great fun. I jumped ship on SF5 and as much as SF6 looks great… I think the SF should’ve ditched the 6 button layout long time ago. It sucks to control and it gives you bloated characters with a bunch of useless moves. It’s fake depth just for the sake of it (IMO) and not for a better experience. I think modern controls are a big step in the right direction but If you had to keep the 6 button gameplay in the game then it means modern controls had to have some compromise. And that’s just dumb.

I don’t mean to say the game is bad or that it’s wrong to like it. If people love it then more power to them. But to me, the choices made in MK1 seem far more interesting and fun, than the choices made in SF6.
