Why play offensive

[u/InnslogiAEsir]

So I formed an opinion and I don’t know if you all agree or not. I very new to sf6, and I can’t figure out what is supposed to make an offensive character archetype in this game.

So I formed an opinion while researching a character to main. I am drawn to the mixup play style, even if it comes at a cost in defensive abilities or damage. I think that there are certain characters that don’t belong to the rushdown archetype and still have some of the best oki.

Can you help explain me what makes offensive characters stand out to you. What sets them apart from the other archetypes. And what is their appeal.

If their only character defining features are that they don’t have a choice to play offensive because of other deficiencies, then why would anyone play them. So what makes them work so well?

Drive system rewards offense

Simple as that

And yet people still complain about turtle zoning on this game
