I love Fighting Games, but now I have less and less time to play videogames and it's exausting to learn all the basics in every game. Like DBZ, if you don't play in a certain way, you are obliterated. Games that are more slow-paced like SF V and Samsho have some advantages on this, but making every character so distinct I think makes the game too complex.
So I don't think big rosters is something that is really needed.
But there is one thing that is killing fighting games this generation for me: loading times.
EVERY SINGLE Fighting Game on PS4 takes an eternity to load. There is SO MUCH time that you are not playing - character select screen (SFV takes FOREVER to load), versus screen (loading, I know), victory screen - and then you have to find another match...
Ok, you can say that Overwatch is the same. But how long takes an Overwatch match? Or even a Battle Royale match? I was playing Tetris 99 and even if I lose in the beginning of the match, it is so fast to get into another one that I feel it's faster to start another match in Tetris 99 than go back to SFV main menu after a loss.
I think loading times should be a priority, and better lobby and matchmaking systems. I don't know, start finding other matches earlier?
I don't know the solution, but yes, it's is terrible to lose and have to wait sometimes A LOT to have another match.
