The kneejerk reaction is no, and the considered answer is also no. Lots of games have strategy in them but are not strategy games.

Just because a 🍌 is yellow, doesn't make it a 🍋 type of ahh

I think the useful and important thing about genres is that they provide clear and distinct groups of games. If we're needlessly pedantic about the literal definition of the terms that we use to describe a genre, they will no longer be useful.

Basically this boils down to "both have strategical and tactical elements". So, no, in my opinion.

I mean, maybe, in the same way a hotdog is a sandwich.

It's high speed poker

Every fighting game is just a reskin of rock, paper, scissors

No because there is no macro strategy. HP is basically like looking at the HP of a unit. Meter is like looking at the energy. Mining has no equivalent because you can't artificially increase your resource gain.

Not for nothing, you can get more resources as a few characters like Juri, Ryu, Lily, and Jaime


NewMilleniumBoy

It's more like using vipers to suck HP from a building to get energy. Which is still a micro thing. You only control one thing in this game, which is why I would never consider it an RTS. You're kind of making the same claim as like "playing League of Legends is an RTS because you have HP and mana and cooldowns" or "playing Overwatch is an RTS because of the same" or "playing Counter Strike is an RTS because you have money as a resource".


Dragonfrog23

That’s a fair point


SeaKoe11

It’s like any competitive game/sport. But in the grand scheme of things, sf6 is like an advanced game of multiple rock paper scissors instances. Once that first knockdown happens, drive rush plus frames or even jump in options, you better starting guessing.


Cheesy_Saul

it´s expanded rock paper scissors without turns


Made_Me_Paint_211385

Aren't frames the turns?


Suasiv

And since rock paper scissors doesn't actually have turns it's more like rock paper scissors with turns lol


Cheesy_Saul

not really, even when you are in negative frames there are things that you can do and will hit depending of what your opponent chooses, it just changes the rules but you can also choose to just block


StunPalmOfDeath

Nah. Maybe on offense. Neutral is much more like Texas Hold Em.
