>>3148392093rd Strike is faster but that doesn't mean better anon that is subjective. ST is also faster then 3s. Alpha is probably faster then any other SF game and SFV seems somewhat faster then SF4 but second slowest after it. Again though that doesn't mean a game is worse for a game like SF although it sometimes helps.
Your points are still accurate though. Where are 3s/ST/Alpha players? Side tournaments and casuals. They understand their isn't time for both and they still wanna play what they like.
Smash manchildren are too fucking stupid to understand this concept and fuck the mainstream up. GG is growing and growing yet is getting fucked to like 10am for top 8 cmon now it had more then fucking Smash 4 at evo but hundreds.
