    I'm write a post in my blog now and has anyone else noticed that Ed has white eyes and an evil smile in his Critical Art 2? 
     

     
    For me, this is an indication of Bison's influence. Apparently, when Ed's Psycho Power turns purely purple, his"dark side" is activated.

    So following Ed's reveal, I kept thinking about it and came to the conclusion that Ed and Falke should have just been combined into one character.
     
    Having a female boxer, with Ed's SF6 moveset from the start, would have done a lot to warrant the character a spot in the roster.
     
    While I don't necessarily agree with the criticism that Ed reduced other boxer's chances to be in the game (especially since now he borrows a little more from Dudley, whit the dash backs and whatnot), I can see the point that three boxers is a bit much, when there are so many other untapped martial arts they could represent. 
     
    But if the third boxer was a girl, well, that just tilts the balance even more in favour of actually having it as a new character.
     
    There was already some ambiguity from Barlog's endings in SF4 if the child was a boy or a girl, so Capcom certainly could've made whatever move they wanted. 
     
    I'm sorry for Falke but she was really forgettable and while I'm sure if they give her a cool redesign and revamp her gameplay she could be cool as well, but I really think this would've worked so well.
     
    Maybe in SF10, when they'll add Ed and Falke's daughter lol

    Yep! However, things coming from capcom usa are usually taken with a grain of salt... unless it's from a jpn producer/director. Even in SFV there are things that were wrong in the localization....
    That was the initial thought back when SFZ3 came out. Decapre resembled like Cammy because of her hair (pigtails). Since it was said that she hails from Russia, it was a safe bet that she was kidnapped, enhanced like Juni and Juli and that a clone was made with Vega/Bison's DNA in the mix.
    However... when Decapre was revealed in Ultra Street Fighter IV, producer Tomoaki Ayano gave the following statement: "We plan to talk more about her play style and abilities in the future, but for today we’d like to explore her story. For those not in the know, DECAPRE IS A CLONE OF CAMMY. At a quick glance she does look like a scary Cammy with a mask."
    Two years later, Street Fighter V director Takayuki Nakayama, answered a question about the matter a few weeks after A Shadow Falls was released  (open X to see the trend):
    capwpanda: I'm sorry, but I'd like to know which is the big sister, Cammy or Decapre?
    takaNakayama: Don't know if "big sister" is the correct term, but Cammy is the oldest. It's defined (Decapre) as a clone of Cammy.
    capwpanda: Is there a reason for them having different birthdates? I thought that Decapre was the oldest because of her appearance and close birthdates...
    takaNakayama: I feel there' s a one year difference. Shadaloo is known for controlling the aging speed. Like with Abel.
     
    Since Cammy DOES have a birthyear or age mentioned in some games (16 yo while she was at Shadaloo and 19yo during SF2, also her dog tag mentioned this info even during the Zero era), she might not have been submitted to aging speed... unlike Decapre.
     
    About the clones being blond with blue eyes.... it's actually less DNA meddling. I'm no geneticist, but you need to activate several genes in order to get darker phenotypes.
    That's the same reason the first clones (as far we know) were females (remember Dolly? Hum, Dolls, Dolly, Dolly Parton., big breasts, Juli....).
     
    I don't think so. They age faster to age of combat (circa 15-18 years) and to be able to use some Psycho Power. That's the case with Ed, he was able to use it when he got rescued by Bison/Balrog while pretty young, his powers grew as he got older (he even tried to "Psycho Shot" Urien), and when the aging process got complete, he can snatch his opponents with Psycho Web. LOL
     
    Could also be under Ring of Power stage....
     
     
    It's not degeneration from her creation. Besides, have you guys ever noticed that Decapre's USF4 mask has a crack right where Cammy's left cheek scar is?
    Probably Decapre got her face burnt from a mission or even training. However, I really would like to know what Psycho Contamination is....
     
    About the scars, those are just production notes and instructions of how it should look (darker rougher, etc). The top right even mentions "something sharp. Balrog/Vega?"
     
    Actually, the S.I.N. stage wasn't for making Seths. That was in a secret lab where Mike Bison was in charge to take care.
     
    The actual stage is actually a exact description of what Smart/Smalt Raven before finding Vega, but i don't think it's the same location.

    EVO General Manager, Rick, talked about how he will bring the arcade version (990512) of 3rd Strike to this year's EVO (17:50 - 23:50)

    I'm very curious about this costume. 
     

     
    This is a Neo Shadaloo's uniform. The white costume aparently is redesigned (the 3rd costume is look like this white costume). If this uniform is also redesigned, what the hell will happen to Chun-Li?

    The stage resembles the SIN stage from SF4 but I’m thinking it’s distinctly different. The S.I.N stage was to make Seth clones so I’m thinking this stage is the Shadaloo equivalent for Bison. All the test subjects in the tubes are candidate bodies for Bison that are being imbued with Psycho Power. 
     
    Bison was resurrected in one of those test tubes in the beginning of SF4.

    I thought that was pretty interesting too and honestly I felt like they should implement more. I remember a rumor from SF6 story that mentioned that Ken had a limited moveset in his story mode due to his  experience in the story and that’s something I would have liked to see. Although due to the story structure of SF6 it wouldn’t have made much of a difference as you don’t play specifically as Ken.  I just thought that it was interesting to show how the story would affect the gameplay of a character and Tekken 8 did implement that respectfully.

    Yooo, Ed's stage is awesome! Destroyed lab, broken Shadaloo logos and dead human incubators everywhere! He also looks like he starts going a bit evil in his first winpose! Cool stuff!

    I mentioned this on twitter. Do we actually know if Ed was a clone or was a kidnapped kid that got aged up? Over the years I've forgotten.

    From previous discussion, we concluded he was kidnapped at a very young age. The jpn sources hint that. Ed himself mentions, on the 2018 april fools Side Reader story that he couldn't even recall the face of his parents. Also it was never mentioned of him being created from scratch in a lab, like Abel (and Seth) was. He was always mentioned as being the young who was experienced on.
    The localized text mentions he was made in a lab, but I think in the jpn actually mentions he was raised, or grew up in a lab.
     
    You're right about the Dolls, with the exception of Decapre, who is Cammy's clone.
     
    Totally looks like it, but that wouldn't make much sense. The whole place got engulfed in lava as soon Ryu, Chun-Li, Li Fen and Guile left the Inner Sanctum. The same happened with the Secret Laboratory in SFIV where that machine (BLECE?) fell to a lava lake, taking the fighters inside with it.
     
    If that's the case, then SF6 Ed story might lead to him finding Falke. Remember SFV wasn't a linear story....
     
    He did? I think that he will take over Neo Shadaloo now, even though he doesn't want to.
     
    I think @YagamiFire is from Germany. He might help.

    Well, the owl with a laurel wreath and N.S.  (Neo Shadaloo).
     

     
    The owl and the laurel wreath are more positive symbols than Shadaloo.

    Not a fan of most of the Juri concepts. I only like two of them. The Cammy outfits are just plain terrible. I think two of of them are just okay. Unsurprisingly half of the Chun Li looks are fire. Two of the Chun Li looks I don't like are better than all of Cammy's IMO.

    This is pretty interesting.  Matchups between 1700+ MR ranks.  This looks like a standard SF6 tier list but a few things stand out for me.  Dee Jay and Juri are a lot lower than expected.  Dee Jay is usually seen as top 5 and Juri usually hovers around top 7 - but here they're both around mid tier.  A.K.I. and Manon are much higher than expected, sitting around mid tier. And according to this Rashid is top tier and #3 overall.  That last part doesn't surprise me as I've always been very high on Rashid.

    I don't think I'm tired of SF6, but I haven't been playing much of it over the past few months. I sorta just come and go.  I've actually been playing a lot more single-player stuff over the past few months. 
     
    I stopped playing SFV early on as well, only to return. I still gotta get back into World Tour Mode.
