I definitely made sure to sign up. What I found interesting is that the official SF Twitter account mentioned the CBT on 9/18 and then it was also mentioned on 9/23. They may not have as many people signing up as they thought. Maybe Capcom over shot their projections on how many people would participate? If so we all gon eat good.

If I remember right, the site crashed from demand, and they had to announce that entries would be a lottery, rather than on first-come basis. gl to all though!

@SkortGood stuff! The range on c.mp and b.hp (cancellable) is even more exciting

Re. the CBT and char creation, the SF site has the info tucked away on this page:

Quite a chunk - Battle Hub matches makes it sound like it'll be far more easy than the SFV betas to play against friends.

Edit: Glad to see that the CFN is returning too. Was a great addition in V.

(Except as Gilley says, "Guile's upside down kick knocks down on counter-hit in SF6.  DAMNIT CAPCOM! :(" - at 3:45)

The "rival" guy from World Tour gives me major male Chun Li vibes, the bracelet thing and the colour and style of his top. Sorry if it's been mentioned already, each of the two threads I watch here have been moving fast and have merged into one in my brain. Maybe it's just a nod to customisation, mind.

Looks like some UK players got some decent hands on time, Tyrant has a nice breakdown of Juri's moveset here,@Skort

And King Jae has some Ken/Guile matches.

"Was that you?"

Genuinely nice to see Du back
 

@FrostGood to see you here! How was the hitstop? In the Guile trailer it seemed a little off to me. Did you notice anything, or did it feel just like normal SF stuff?

Depends, did he have two legs chopped off for dashing too well? 

Weird, I was looking at names for dogs, and Dash was what made me consider Nash. Every family member I've mentioned it to today thinks it's a shite name, though. 

All four legs present... so far

Is Nash a shit name for a black Labrador pup? I'm torn between thinking it's good or thinking it's really bad.

And yes, this build will have Guile, Kimberly and Juri playable. 

I've been to a couple of EGXs a bit back, and the queues were fucked - talking about +2 hours for most games. I'd be tempted to get a little group together if they weren't, and London wasn't such a pain in the arse to get to. I did get to play SFV there before it came out though (and beat one of the guys running the booth!) I saw Ryan Hart there, and he's very, very fucking tall!

With it being in London, and Capcom UK being pally with the Winner Stays On group, I hope there's some kind deep dive of the build, with Problem X, Jammerz, Jester and co. giving  it a good going over like in NY a few days ago. It'd be great to see them explore Guile, Juri, and Kimberly. 

@Mattatsu@Hawkingbirdhttps://www.cheapshark.com/ is a decent aggregator if you have a specific game in mind.

@Scotia(I'm assuming it's the same guy) posted this on ResetEra on Saturday:

Me and a couple others just had a brief conversation with Matt Edwards, some choice quotes that were interesting;
 

Later down the line they’re doing another ‘expanded build’ which I assume means more characters.
 

Luke’s design in 6 predated his one in 5 (obvious I know but nice for some confirmation).
 

The base roster is ‘sizeable’ and he doesn’t think people will be disappointed.
 

As far as he knows there’s no announcement at Gamescom, just the demo.

Imho with Guy they ever failed at find a truly iconic special, the run was his gimmick but was'nt enough nor the Izuna drop, feels like he never had a truly signature move

 

I mained Guy for a bit in SF4. Izuna Drop was so much fun, esp the ex version, to catch DPs when "mistiming" a safe jump. Mix in his elbow drop, and there were plenty of ways you could piss folk off - but I agree, there's no iconic special. His lp-mp-hp-hk target combo is probably the closest thing, which is a shabby deal.

I like that Kimberly so far feels closer to Guy's moveset than Y.Zeku, but I'm a bit sad this probably dents his changes of getting in. If she has decent runstop pressure (I don't see it so far), a stupid range on Izuna  (well, if you can at least choose the type), and a great elbow drop that'll be a good start for me.

Do not engage with people on Twitter

The golden rule, for real. I use Twitter as a compromise to keep in touch with friends (I won't use Facebook) and follow comedians, FG players, sports, tech news, gaming, etc. Keep my account locked down, so no weird bots interjecting their strangeness. Doing it that way, I find is a kinda good experience.

I like this animation, it's like Guile's got his own shitty Sonic Scythe.

Louffy reports that there's no priority system in SF6

I hope we can actively change our battle tag in SF6 like DNFD 

Nothing's confirmed yet, but I reckon this is going to be Capcom's crossplay account system for most of their games. I think I remember reading the Exoprimal closed alpha required people to have a Capcom ID. Looks like you can change your name once per month.
