I don't know what's going on. Might be something to do on twitter end than anything else. Forgot to mention it to MisterBee. Lemme message him.
 
Also the combo trials are showing up on twitter. Spoilers or info depending on how you see it.

Everyone was great these tournaments but Zhen and Afrikaan did amazing! Bison made it to 3rd and 4th!
 
I'm honestly going to miss SF5, not just the game but this whole FGC era with its up and downs was something special.


 

As for a proper cinematic mode, I'll give SF6 till season 3 for a cinematic mode.
 
one huge mistake with SF5 was the cinematic mode feel rushed and compress. I believe initially it should had been more seasonal but they tried to compensate with the barebones release of SFV vanilla
 
So it was rushed and compress with fewer characters. 
 
So a season 3 cinematic mode with characters from a more extended seasons or  later, a 2 seasonof character is fine but a 4 season of characters is much better for a cinematic mode.
 
 

Dhalsim to Chun-Li: "Feel the movement of your physical form. That is where meditation begins."
 
Thoughts: Nothing really too much to look into with this one. Dhalsim's last quote to Chun-Li in SFV was about her struggling to release the shackles of her past. Now in SF6, it looks like she's done just that. But I honestly can't find anything deep with this one. There is much focus in Chun's movments in her teachings. Maybe that's the lesson Dhalsim passed to her in this age.

World Tour Mode.

Luke: Use the force, Dom!
Dom: You don't need the force when you have family

On TV there was a guy making pizza with pears and arugula
 

Steak fries for me!

Lily* Manon* Marisa & Zangief* Ryu Blanka E. Honda Cammy* Deejay Will probably have arcade modes that aren't worth looking into.  The characters with * next to their names had their arcade modes streamed on twitch. 

This is exactly what I anticipated... Our only saving grace is World Tour. Even then I'm not sure if it'll produce much for us story bros. But if it's interesting enough, maybe we'll learn some stuff that'll keep us wanting more...? It's been a while since I've been this excited for an SF game, but man story wise we gotta potentially temper our expectations? Help Lawd.

Hell yes.  El Gado is clearly the superior knifer.
 

There are some interesting bits of information on arcade mode that started finding their way to twitter and 4chan for characters like Lily, Marisa, Manon, and JP.
 
All I'm gonna say is keep your expectations low. No no, lower.

Wow....

That's a good thing. Makes it easier for completionist to platinum the game without grinding God knows how long in ranked. And frankly I never liked trophies that are tire to online because there are now hundreds of ps3 and 4 games where you can't collect everything due to shut down servers or dead playerbase 

He's talking about combos that only work in certain situations Ex: Hitting an opponent in a standing state vs crouching state
 
 

That wouldn't be cool at all, because it would just make JP the final boss of Fighting Layer...

JP is literally a media machine combined with unscrupulous 'philanthropists'
 
He claims to want to help developing nations but really just exploits them while controlling narrative surrounding them...and in doing so creates misery and social upheaval with the pain that follows all for no reason other than to consolidate his own power.
 
Bison used the iron fist, JP utilizes the soft power of social manipulation. He's exactly the sort of person I despise. At least Bison admits to what he is and will face people on that level. JP pretends to be benevolent when he's the worst kind of person possible. Great villain.

The more I learned about JP over these past 4 issues, the more he reminds me of a certain political destabilizer. At the risk of getting too far into real life matters, I won’t mention who it is. JP certainly isn’t a veritable madman but dang does he know how to con. Looking forward to understanding his reasons. I swear the first thing I’m doing when I pull up the game is fire up Arcade and go play as Ken and JP, finish the rest of the characters and play WTM. 

The top priority for Arcade Mode to me is:

1- JP
2- Ken
3- Chun-Li
4- Guile
5- Juri
6- Ryu (Bonus!)
