i havent played the older games,
but from whad i heard, id describe the newer ones as more aggressive and less finicky(in terms of input precision / timing)
also online play has gotten way better(if that even was a thing when you last played)
somehow bison was the only reveal that i expected.
he was never gonna stay dead (just like heihachi)
but releasing him right in season 2 was imo way to hasty.
especialy with him being the next release right after akuma
i updated the title
