With all due respect, Malice. As a whole it was feasible and something is always better than nothing but it's difficult to be okay with this when it's a bit of a far cry from previous iterations and you are made aware that the scv story was gutted by I believe 3/4th's.
I didn't say you had to like the story mode in SCV. I'm not a fan of it either, but the previous games just gives you some text, a few AI opponents to beat up, and a short ending clip. So I don't see what was so great about the actual story modes in the previous games unless you want to shoehorn a story in between grinding for unlocks.
But the story isn't by any means TOP priority. Things like whiffing issues, glitches, and general inconsistencies would be a bigger problem. I don't agree with current FG company tactics such as making the same game with a few added features repeatedly ETC but more to the point I have a big issue with rushing games and still releasing it. This may indeed be how the real world is but half assing your work shouldn't be okay, regardless of the reasoning behind such decisions.
If this was back in the day where the game would first come out in the arcades and then 1-2 years later it makes its way to console, things would be different. But companies don't have unlimited time and resources to spend on story mode, or they spend more resources on story and less resources in other areas such as the actual fighting.

Everyone started at the casual level at one point or another. It's just on these forums is where people do clash.
But they did try to make the game appeal to as many as possible by introducing new game mechanics, removing unnecessary things so as to not overwhelm new players, and making sure that the online wasn't hot garbage. And alot of people were playing this game when it first came out, and there's still plenty of new Japanese players who are still playing.
However this is still a fighting game, so your primary reason to buy it should be to fight against other people. Any other reason should be secondary. Yet here we are almost 2 years later and people are still crying about story mode. If you want to blame someone, blame the producer, but it's time to let it go.
And if you want to really see some hot garbage, just look in the fanfic section.
