Lol No, any of the dlc stages are better. Karin beach and Christmas NYC especially. Wow, one character.

Yeah Brazil is pretty dope, best SFV track from the SFIV composer Fukasawa.
Juri's original theme shits all over the SFV version as well, and there's probably a lot that are equal (ly bad like Dict). Akuma's proper boss battle theme also is way superior to V (as is the SFxTK version)
Ken's theme in SFV is the clear upgrade from IV.... but lol @ people acting like every song got "that" much better.
Akuma in SFIV
Akuma in Tekken 7
Akuma in SFV
Kinda late but this post lol.
I think SFV has more potential than SFIV in the long-run. SFIV's systems were busted since release and never really got around to fixing that dire mess, however with the former a few tweaks and additions to the gameplay would appease more people overall. Either way, I'm just glad this game ended SFIV's life and I know if it were to come back now people would say how trash it still is.
Better is still better, it's a much better soundtrack. Ken is not the only one that's much better, the quality overall is much better and lol @ trying downplay that. You can hate the game but let's not be blind (deaf) here.

Different strokes and all that
I've listened to SFV's OST countless times and yeah, most of the time, it just sounds like background noise (London station in particular is a great example) outside of a few, legit good tracks
I just prefer my tunes more melodic (ala Alpha 1) and less filler sounding
You and me both. I bought the SF4 OST and love listening to it even outside of the game (although I do skip a few of the stage themes). The SFV soundtrack is tolerable in-game, but I can't think of a single track I'd listen to by choice (I don't have DLC stages).
Nah man, if you can say better 5-6 times in a few sentences it's clearly better, no it's factually better.
It's quite telling that the Brazil themes that a lot of people like out of the stage music sounded like a perfect fit for SFIV ost...
Air force is great (pretty much guile theme), Halloween theme is awesome but I don't have it....
Guile Stage and Brazil are my two go to stages.... still prefer Overpass and Solar Eclipse to them....
lol I actually really like the Halloween ost, Juri is horrible though, as big a downgrade as Ken's an upgrade.

SFV has 4 composer's. It makes the ost inconsistent from one another. For every Brazil/Skies of Honor , there is Juri/Halloween
Yes the Halloween OST is just annoying background sound.

I remember someone changed the stage in a major tourney because he didn't wanna hear that Halloween track. And James Chen, who was commentating, did his own little version of it lolol
I guess you like your techno-trancey stuff, but I vastly prefer SFV's more varied soundtrack, and its use of real, live instruments in most of its tracks. It's a quality production. SF4 sounds like some two-bit cheap ass soundtrack in comparison.

SF4 might have a couple of decent tracks like Cammy's theme, but on the whole that soundtrack is lacking as hell is probably the worst in the franchise since SF1. SFV's on the other hand is actually pretty freaking great.

Street Fighter V is the first game in the series to bore me. I can't put my finger on why, but I usually turn it off within an hour and just boot up Ultra SF4.
That godawful soulless menu screen doesn't help either. What is it some stupid blue background and a bunch of boxes?

When he brought it back for SFxTk
SFxTK rival, mid boss and boss themes were awesome, some dope remixes. They were the clear standouts by Fukasawa on SFxTK (rest was pretty subpar) but they were all locked behind single player content...

The multiple composers is what makes SF5 soundtrack so good.
So much variety in styles and genres. With SF4, if you weren't into that electronic sound, you weren't into SF4. With SF5 if you don't like one style, there are many others.
Boxes with words and stuff in them? Sounds like you're describing a menu...
And toxic passive-aggression trying to pass itself off as righteousness is the lowest, most contemptible form of hate.
To address your assertions about SFV: Everything ugly has some measure of beauty, if you look long and hard enough. Even the abyss. Though by the time a person might actually get to that point, he or she is dealing with weird, Stockholm Syndrome levels of personal investment. Or, to quote the late great George Carlin, "I am sure that Hitler was great with his family." But he still sucked as a human being. As, Is to, SFV, Fighting games.

its not everything I wanted lol. The initial change was so friggin drastic though and I concluded that was the biggest nerf to shoto play and why they fell in tiers. Honestly, I think DP's being a get off me move for bad timed meaties and throws while the EX is a true reversable is fair, but that initial change was straight bs. I was getting hit from the air with normals trying to DP a jump in, it was ridiculous.
I agree FB are generally a tad too weak and could use some speed boosts. Or how about more characters stay in V-trigger longer/entire round (Necalli!!!) because Ryu with trigger is actually a good zoner, and so is Ken, they just burn through it too quickly, especially Ryu.
Overall I just think it's easier to fix SFV.
- Cut the jab AA nonsense
- Make heavy buttons more - so it isn't such a slugfest
- Improve V-Reversal
- balance Crush Counter buttons better
That's it...I'm not in agreement with the other poster taking about the complexity of combos etc...it's a different game let it be different. If Capcom wants it to revolve more around mind games than execution I'm cool with it. His opinion is largely outdated as well. Birdie does not have "stubby normals". Neither does Karin, or Chun, Sim, Guile, or even Cammy really. That posts sounds like someone that just didn't like the changes from the jump hardly put anytime into the game and then wants to blame design decisions. Everyone has an opinion, but some things may just not be for you. The design philosophy of the game being more mental sound, they of course could improve the rosters comboabilty with updates though, but I've already seen pretty hype matches and crazy stuff from characters like Akuma, Fang, and even Alex. Just needs a relative balance update between offense and defense imo. The 1-framer stuff being gone is meh IMO.

Not boring. That track was good.
My fav was the Drive-In at Night. Between that and Overpass, I could listen to either without getting bored.
If that's all you managed to glean from the post, then... well, there it is, then.
Not much to glean from a post that tries to assert that people playing sf5 are doing so from stockholme syndrome.

I'm sure it will dawn on you eventually how poor your post is as a whole, lol
Weird Stockholm Syndrome levels of personal investment, actually. There is a difference. Mainly that Stockholm Syndrome sufferers are innocent victims.
Your statment is that people who defend sf5 have stockholme syndrome like symptoms of personal investment. The same way Hitler's family probably put up with Hitler.
Not that these people might actually like sf.
And others are over tuned? Okay.
The irony is real with this one.

Disagree slightly with someone--CountBlack, I think?--saying that fireballs are much stronger in IV. There are a ton of characters in IV with good fireball frame data who are mid-tier or lower. Dee-Jay, Gouken, and Guile are all average at best but yet they have good plasma.
Characters like E. Ryu and Akuma, while they can zone to a degree, are more mid-range footsie characters. Evil Roo is all about cr. mk into axe kick damage, and Akuma is all about some zoning and counter-zoning to setup sweep into oki. Sagat, too, has to be played as a mix of zoning and mid-range footsies. If anything, IV made it much more effective to use fireballs as mid-range pokes instead of long-range "spam" ala SF2.
You won't get much mileage if you sit back in either IV or V and pretend its SF2. SFV Guile is the closest you'll get to that.

Where's that dumb Spider-man Homecoming gif when you need it
I've personally always bitterly complained bout SFV's failings to the point where I've been labeled a troll or a hater. Mostly related to a lack of arcade mode and a complete disregard for the casual fan in terms of content.
But there are things where SFV unequivocably destroys SF4.
Using Stockholm Syndrome and Hitler's family to describe gamers.
I had missed that bit. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have bothered with that obviously insane person.

Imma have to stop you there, Cammy's SFV theme is the best in the game.

That's not how you spell F.A.N.G
Sorry, was on mobile.
Edit: Don't see why it matters, though, unless your opinion is that there's no chance that anybody could possibly like SF5. Your assertion is just as silly taken across any game. If you don't apply your own logic to other games, it just shows your own bias. /shrug
This is definitely true. I wince each time I throw a fireball as Akuma. Physically wince. It's worse if they actually jump it.
Dammit, double post.

if you're not throwing a fireball off of a blockstring with Akuma it could be instant lights out

Only Guile's game plan in V is actually based around raw long-range zoning. All the other characters with fireballs merely zone in small spurts in support of a rush down game plan. Except for Dhalsim, who uses his projectile to support a mix of rush down and long-range normals. Even Nash is ideally played as a hit-and-run character.
