    I literally have zero interest in Bison. Vega is meh to me. Maybe they'll do something intersting with him but not really too hopeful to be honest. Bison, from a narrative stand point, is just over done.  I was hoping we'd finally get some sort of new direction. This makes me appreciate the saga format of the KOF series. Capcom should just, like SNK did in the past, do the ocassional "Dream Match" style game where they go through multitudes of characters in regardless of the story. Having this constant need for Shadaloo has reduced the organization and Bison for that matter to Saturday Morning Cartoon villain status. He just was well be Dr. Claw at this point. "I'll get you next to Ryu! NEXT TIME!" 😑

    I like Dan but don't think nor hope he get playable slot, specially if they keep 4 char Seasons with current cast having gigantic holes
     
    Imho we will find him as NPC when the Dojo open, just like they opened the MC Arena
     
    Of previously playable SF chars we already seen FANG and Retsu get this treatment, some will follow for sure in future (Falke hopefully, don't want her getting slot lol)
     
    The fact we seen that a kinda cheap "saikyo" moveset (cool for NPC, but does'nt seem main cast quality) exist make me think we're basically watching the template of  what NPC Dan will get lol

    Been awhile since I did a story review for SF, but I had some thoughts after finishing the stuff added in the Ed update and wanted to get them out after sitting on it for a few days;
     
    The Ed story update is once again, imo, just another case of Capcom building to stuff with no foreseeable pay off. What does JP plan to do with Ed? Does he want to put Bison's phantom into Ed's body or just have Ed as he is take over Shadaloo? Is he still warring with FANG as to who gets to Ed first? None of it's answered. They just meet randomly, JP is a smarmy asshole, Ed gets angry, they fight, JP vanishes. It's the exact same shit they did with Ken, but at least UDON didn't have a whole prequel comic building up to Ed vs JP to make their encounter feel just as pointless as that one did.
     
    Ed was absolutely the character with the strongest story potential in Season 1 (hell, probably the entire roster at this point) and yet he had even less stuff going in World Tour than Rashid and AKI did. Those two had quests requiring you to do a ton of stuff before you even met them, including signficant NPCs related to those characters showing up to give you multiple quests, and yet for Ed you talk to one random loser in Metro City, get on a train then Ed just shows up. Like DarthEnderX said; the new stage that comes with Ed isn't even mentioned, never mind visited. The stage has such a mysterious nature to it and I was looking forward to seeing how it would be incorporated into WT but it's seemingly just some random stage with no actual meaning or point to it. Sure you could say it'll be featured eventually, but when? Might as well just add it to the growing list of things Capcom have to pay off at some point.
     
    I appreciate the deeper dive into Ed and Balrog's characters as well as a much neeed expansion of Neo Shadaloo, but imo they were things that were expected to be featured with Ed. If they didn't have those then honestly what was the point of adding him? It's the bare minimum to talk about the ones close to these characters so I don't even really want to praise Capcom too much for it. There was a ton of intrigue going into Ed I feel after AKI's story update, mainly the fact that they were teasing two Shadaloo remnant factions racing to put Bison's phantom into Ed, but now Ed is here and it feels like that storyline is already over. Ed doesn't want to become the next Bison, both physically and metaphorically so he just...doesn't. He's just chilling in Metro City while the rest of Neo Shadaloo do the cool stuff off screen. What a complete waste.
     
    Naturally I'm sure that this along with other things will be prominent storylines in a future WT update but like...idk man I'm just sick and tired of how Capcom have been writing this series since season 2 of SF5. This constant state of building to something has been going on for fucking years at this point and I don't feel like anything that was established in SF5, never mind 6, has paid off yet. Remember when G got revealed and had a ton of very obvious Q connections? Remember how his character story answered them? Yeah, me neither, that's another thing we're still waiting for. Speaking of; remember when the last two seasons of SF5's story were spent building up G as the next main villain who was teasing a world-ending event? It's awesome that he's not in SF6 at all and all of that was seemingly for nothing! (/s)
     
    I'm just tired of it man. Nothing feels worth it in this series anymore. They establish all of these characters, all of these factions, all of these plotlines then throw them out the door the second the next game starts so we can get Honda and Blanka and Zangief in the game first to continue their riveting storylines that are just poorly painted-over rehashes of shit they've been doing since 2. Why did they want me to get excited for what Ed was going to bring to the story when his last quest is him just sending you on a fruitless wild goose chase for Falke before just telling you to give up when you don't find her? I'm sure if they ever add Falke as a playable character that we'll just get the same stuff we always get; We'll find her in Nayshall, she'll talk more about Neo-Shadaloo, talk about JP then continue to stand there until the game ends. Same with G. Same with Gill and Alex and Rose and Sakura and whoever the fuck else they add, because it's what every other character in WT does. I mean, for fucksake, they got UDON to do a whole ass comic prequel tie-in about Ken just for him to stand around in a contruction site!
     
    Anyway, rant over. I don't expect any of my issues to be fixed tbh, regardless of if there's a big WT story update or not. Like I said, they've been writing like this for years at this point and I think Ed's story additions being absolutely nothing finally broke me. Akuma being next pretty much guarantees nothing of worth is gonna happen until Season 2 anyway, if it ever happens at all.

    Ed Win Quotes
     
    Ed to Jamie: "Maybe you need to know the whole story before you lose your cool, y’know?"
     
    Jamie to Ed: “You look like you’re dealin’ with a lot. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help, y’know?

     
    Ed to Luke: “I don’t have time to play games! You can’t stay a kid forever.”

    Ed to Manon: “Sorry, the beauty of ballet is totally lost on me.”
     
    Manon to Ed: “Perhaps you’ve mistaken brute force for strength? What a crude way of thinking...”
     
     
    Ed to Kimberly: “With half-baked moves like that, I’m not surprised you haven’t gotten far.”
     
    Kimberly to Ed: “You’re part of Shadaloo? A test subject!? Just how far does this rabbit hole go!?”
     
     
    Ed to Marisa: “Gotta admit, your fists are formidable. Still, they’re not up to snuff with mine.”
     
    Marisa to Ed: “I thought you were just a kid, but you definitely pack a punch!”
     
     
    Ed to Lily: “Spirits? You a fortune teller too? Yeah, I think I’m all good on that front.”

    Ed to Cammy: “Still chasing after Shadaloo, huh? Well, I’ve got nothing to do with ‘em now.”

    Ed to Guile: “I hate Shadaloo’s guts, but self-righteous guys like you make me sick too.”

    Apologies if this has already been discussed before, I've been gone from here for a while so I don't want to really scour through 100+ pages to see if this was already mentioned lol.
     
    It's definitely Bosch and they're definitely teasing his survival/return;
     
    https://x.com/82kmnr_works/status/1759008481074364694?s=20
     

     
    The person with the cap running with the other Buckler recruits has the same hair and scar across the eye that Nakayama recently posted for Bosch (which you posted in the reply I quoted). I'm not sure if Bosch had this scar before being blown up at the end of World Tour because you can kinda see something similar to it under his hair in the other artwork Nakayama posted;
     

     
    Also to add a bit more fuel to the fire, Luke's birthday artwork has someone wearing the same hat as the NPC/Bosch. It's coincidentally just obscured enough to not see who it is for sure, but it's pretty obvious it's Bosch (thanks @Lord_Vegafor pointing this out on Twitter, I never noticed this until I saw you point it out);
     

     
    At the risk of being completely wrong in the future, I'm calling it now; Bosch IS alive and will be playable in the future, maybe as soon as Season 2. There's way too many deliberate nods here to chalk it up as just asset reuse or some random NPC we're not meant to notice.

    Thanks so much dude! 👍
     
    With Alex covered, some thoughts
     
    RYU
    -Ryu needing SnH to generate denjin shit is interesting, think somebody here already mentioned it
    -Kinda related Shin Shoryuken coming out as result of "unprecedented surge of energy" makes me think how in 6 we see glimpse of his fist and muscles get boosted by SnH at start of Lv3
    -For some reason Ryu respect for Dudley is so cool for me, just sells so well the aura of respect/tradition boxing deserve... to bad i fear we will not get him in SF6
     
    YUN and YANG
    -The twins different philosophy on approaching martial path is so cool, you can definitely see that in real life, there's ever who stick to the book and try to do things 1:1 and who try to loose the form to seek possible evolution
    -It's fun how somehow their character next to fight style feels kinda opposite to the usual cliché... Yun who stick to the technique is the energetic/instinctive one, Yang who breaks the technique is more cold minded and thoughtful... usually it's the "hot head" portrayed to break the technique
    -Love how they seem to be not only protector of the city in the sense of keep streets safe, but they seem involved into try to support it's success/wealth
     
    DUDLEY
    -For whatever reason i love he goes purposely out of ordinary boxing despite being designed to be perfect boxing incarnation... it's kinda like if he reached the perfection of the style for how we know it, and now it's pushing it's evolution
     
    NECRO
    -The part of extreme pain and not be able to stand make sense considering thanks t sf3 sprite we seen they sawed his bones multiple times.
    Necro's skeleton it's literally like Katsumi Orochi's imaginary one
    -The idea follow up experiments will be killed only to charge their data on Necro's matrix-like chip to upgrade him it's creepy as fuck, love it. On paper the chip is OP shit, definitely his most underrated asset as fans usually think at him just considering rubber body/electric stuff but on reality the chip alone would still make him a deadly fighter even without these superhuman abilities... considering in SF big picture he's just generic tier freak, they did surprising effort on describe his powers
    -Ideal woman having "soft body" possibly hint us something about Effie's body modifications
     
    IBUKI
    -Love how ths Q&A shows difference between her people's Ninjutsu and Guy's Bushinryu... Ibuki is extremely talented at taijustsu (hand to hand combat) but is seen as barely useful, while for Bushinryu's standards Guy who's extremely just as much (and likely much more) talented at taijutsu it's the fucking Grandmaster lol.
    It's interesting she actually have her village ninjutsu mindset, she's simply very talented at fighting but not because she prefer/love it, in fact she seems to see it as waste of time and even use kunai to get work done faster... her taijutsu natural talent seems kinda unintended
    -Cool to see despite very rural appearance most advanced countries would hire ninjas of the village for high level intelligence shit
    -Fact they send her to learn not only english but even accents to work under fake identities is funny, the idea of her with blond wig speaking with texan accent crack me up
    -Lol at them casually throwing infos on G Fucking File as last part of an Ibuki Q&A like nothing (as if SFV G name is'nt casual it's biig shit)
     
    ORO
    -Oro considering to unseal the arm to play videogames is legendary lol
    Bit strange he have to "consider" it as in same Q&A we know he can switch from 1 to 2 arms without much effort, as he does it to eat
    -I liked the part where say his eyes may see differently from regular humans... wonder if he can SEE aura/ki, that would explain him being so conscious about fighters potential (like when in W quotes he value Ryu, Gill or Ken)
     
    KEN
    -No reason to find it fun but Ken though on Ryu's Shin Shoryuken cracked me up, indeed it is
    -Answer on Ken realizing Ryu is different is interesting also for how is written... it's starts claiming they're even but make you realize they're not, more like they're even during current state of things. Guess Ken is starting to grasp what Oro could see cleanly
     
    SEAN
    -Cool to see confirmed Sean has been trained in Matsuda Jiu Jitsu, i mean we knew it thanks to SFV, but this Q&A is much much older so it's the first real confirmation... wish they remember it, another pure Ansatsuken is the last thing SF needs, if i must get Sean in SF6 give me Ansatsuken/MJJ/brawler mix
    -Sean biting Ken is awesome, fit so much Headbutt Sean (or Ground and Pound Sean) i remember from SF3, not that SFV pussy lol
    -Sean being at risk of SnH is reasonable given we're told he may lose control while fighting... that explain also Ken KTFO him for the bite, was'nt about pain but about give Sean an hard lesson, if that's Sean's character Ken have to fix it otherwise he would be unfitting to learn advanced Ansatsuken just like Dan
    -Love he have desire to develop his own special moves, it reduce the risk of get another Ryu/Ken
     
    "ETCETERA"
    -The answer on how Secret Society > Shadaloo and Bison being somebody's puppet would have made our Daemos go crazy for pages. Hope the guy is doing well wherever he is
    -The way he cuts Sagat chances to bring Muay Thai to SF3 is painful even many years after lol. Wich remind me we should learn from the past, MT rep in S2 or riot
    -Answer on why Ryu does'nt need to be the lead char to be Ryu is gold, too bad SFV did'nt listen lol
