I'd think SF 5 was doing just fine. But they're really going out of their way to increase exposure even more, so maybe I'd be wrong. With multiple free weekends and a very competitive price (for the base game, at least), now they add this free trial and ads in the game. More power to them. I'm all in for a return of fighting games, especially ones with a competitive scene. I wish The King of Fighters did stuff like this. That's the ultimate fighting franchise, in my opinion. But look at TKoF 14. Players number is abysmal and the price absurd. Oh, well. I played SF 5 back in a free weekend and didn't like it very much. It's just too simple in terms of mechanics. It feels a lot like a checkers match rather than a fighting game, in the sense that you have like five moves and the complexity is knowing when to use the movements, and not mastering the mechanics themselves.
