We’ll never get that feeling back.
What are you talking about? Console gamers still need to pay to play online!

most of the nostalgia will be from playing online
It is. We’ll never get that feeling back. It was a whole vibe and now its over.

What was so different about it compared to now? I only played SFV online.

Basically everyone had a microphone because they came with the console. People actually spoke in the lobbies, party chat was rare and discord wasnt a thing yet. There was an excitement around it because its all fairly new, and pro gamer / content creator / videogame influencer etc didnt exist as career paths. Most vocal people were still racist x-phobic slur-slinging hate-jockeys, but everybody was there purely to have fun.
Lots of tiny tiny differences that by themselves are inconsequential, but added up to something big.

After a match you could press a button to play again with the same people. You’d make friends by meeting together in game and deciding to party up
