I don't mean to be anti-xeno-racialisticated... But, a twink furry who's infamous for spamming Error Blargh 50-50's, isn't my idea of a 'Elder God' -- when it comes to what's good / bad in a fighting game. Frankly, I wouldn't even ask Daigo Umehara whether SFV is good... 'Cause, you know... HE'S PAID TO PLAY IT!
Anecdote:
A few years back, the Capcom website had a AMA with said "Beast" (...a misnomer if I've ever seen one attributed to a stolid Japanese, male nurse), and I asked him whether having to find (and effectively spam) rote patterns and tactics in order to stay competitive, compromised his gaming philosophy and enjoyment of gaming. His answer (translated) was that winning was what he enjoyed about the game (SF) most. Well, he hasn't been "winning" that much lately (in SFV), and I've often wondered whether he'd eat those words -- were I to prepare them in a finely-prepared sushi roll...
