Unpopular opinion but 6 isn't doing much better visually. I generally like the overall presentation, sound effects, the graffiti splashes when drive impact hits, and how the cutscenes transform the game during level 3/criticals, and obviously the character models have an insane amount of detail 
 
But then you look at the matches or even still screenshots and it's like a late PS3 game - poor shadowing, bland color gamut on most stages, weird lighting solution where you have both the stage sources and like a spotlight above which makes characters shiny, it's so strange to me 
 
I'm not gonna let go of the theory that releasing SF6 on PS4 caused Capcom to hold back significantly so that console can maintain 60fps - the demo alone was really rough with very visible jaggies and blurriness 
 
I predict in a few years there will be a major re-release that cuts off PS4 support, because I just don't see them sticking with it until like 2029 or whenever the next street fighter is supposed to launch. I'm assuming at least 5 years of support for 6

I can't believe how bad SF5 has aged.  It just looks so bad and like it is in a beta form in all aspects - graphics, sounds, UI, etc.
 
I remember when they first showed it off with that Ryu battle (at Evo I think)  and thinking how awesome it looked.  And then from the time the actual beta came out and how bad that was handled, it just went downhill.

Stock assets is a great description and you are so right.   Like "hey lets put some UI stuff here and we'll change it later" but they never went back and changed anything.

All the characters look like clay putty and the UI looks like stock assets. The game should have came out with that cell shading filter tho. Still looks very cool for a fighting game to have that.

LOL his fatality is great.

ItzPookie was an SRKer whom was a regular in the lounge thread for SF5.
 
You'd think that forum raised people to do better but then they show off their ass like that.
 
😭

This is random AF...
 
I was talking to my buddy just now about Ermac in the new MK1 and he wasn't aware of the origin of the actual character and the hoax from the original MK1 arcade game.
 
So I did some digging and found the screen shot of where Ermac originated.
 
This is from issue 51 of EGM back in the day.   It was a little side column that was in the issue back from 1993.
 
So if you didn't know the origin story of Ermac, this is where it all came from.
 

 
EDIT:
 
There are some more cool rumors about MK here:

There are some letters in regards to readers writing in about Ermac as well on there, on how to unlock and also call it a hoax.

I will only play a wifi warrior if that is all that is available, and I'm set to 4-5 bar filter, so wifi is always 4 bars (never seen a 5 bar).
 
If I get a hiccup in the first match, which happens like 50% of the time, I will leave after the first match regardless of the outcome of me winning or losing.

But the future refused to change.
 
 

I PP'd on a master last night and it felt great.

I could have sworn that I read the character models actually have skeletons and layers of muscles below the textures.  If so I'd guess they just change the properties of the outer textures like opacity  and color, to show the inner skeleton.  The skeleton doesn't have to be hi-res either since it's only seen in those instances.

Take a break or play for shorter periods. That's what I usually do if I feel my gameplay is going downhill. Play other games, even other fighting games. Watch replays of top Dee Jays like Fuudo. 
 
Sometimes coming back with a fresh mind and clean slate makes everything feel better for some reason.
