Chun-Li_Forever

Personally, I love the addition of battle damage. Forget the blood, cuts, and blackened eyes. But the sweat gleaming off their skin (face and arms), plus their dirtied fighting outfits really give you that feeling that the characters were in a real and physical fight. Heck, in some of the Super/Critical arts, you can see some sweat flying. I guess I never really questioned it since they stopped doing it altogether in Alpha, 3, 4, and 5. But it shows Capcom is really taking steps to focus on the realism: when a character gets whalloped with a massive combo or attack, they DONT look the same as when they started the fight. I mean, how can you? Body parts coliding against each other, bodies hitting the wall and ground, each strike/fireball/grab looking like its making an impact.

This Between the blood and sweat flying, and the vomiting, plus the obvious battle damage in the Win/Loss screen. Honestly, the battle damage in SF6 is reletively tame compared to what you see in SF2 and even SFIII New Generation. But I'm sure the devs will have an option to turn it off.

You be the judge

Happy birthday to Li-Fen

I don't know about you, but I think SF6 Chun is the BEST Chun-Li has ever looked. As the resident Chun-Li Expert with a PhD in Thighcology and a Masters in Kick-nesiology , not to mention 30 years of love and devotion to the Queen and Waifu herself, I think my opinion should count for something right?

Street Fighter 5 vs Street Fighter 6 - Chun-Li

Street Fighter Hangover

Yes, that's Kimberly's VA Anairis Quinones speaking Japanese. I don't know if the first taunt is a count or some kind of jutsu, but I'm pretty sure the 2nd taunt she's saying "Thank you, from the Bushinryu". My guess is that since the Bushinryu come from Japan, it only makes sense that Kimberly, who is learning the ninjutsu art of Bushinryu, also learn their language and culture. So rather than having translate those taunts, they kept it in the native Japanese language.

This may be a minor thing, but I love how each character has at least four Round Win animations, and we get to see more personality in the fighters.

I'm missing SF6 Beta Chun already.

Well said

Thanks to a PSN friend, I was able to download the beta from an extra access code they got. My impressions on Chun after playing her for a few hours. I think my problem n playing 6 is that I'm playing Chun too much like SF5. I'm not utilizing the stance as well as I should. I only know and use two combos "st.mp, cr.mp, MK SBK" and "cr.mk, OD Legs" I'm not using her Tensho kicks as real AAs, only sticking with her st.mk AA which doesn't do that good of dmg. I play on the PS5 controller, so I'm trying to get used to inputting "down,down" while moving around the screen. It's not something I'm used to, and I'm always left thinking should I use the analog stick or dpad I'm not starting or utlizing light attacks they way they should be used in the game, I'm stuck with always relying on "medium, medium" to start my strings. And when I do use light, I'm timing them like I time chun's "cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.mk, Kikoken" block string I'm still having fun with SF6 Chun. I don't think I've unlocked her true potential just yet. It's gonna take some practice, learning more combos, learning the right strings. and even still, i'm not using Drive Impact properly. Like those who know how to read, counter, and punish the drive impact will be better off than those who spam it or use it predictably So far, the character I've played against the most is Ken. He's still Yolo as ever buttons in this game def feel heavy, and recovery on moves can feel like an eternity. I've never been great with whiff punishing in 5. but i def feel that's something you need to be competent at in 6

Manon looks like she combines both ballet and grappling. Interesting. Love hearing the potential story info from these audio files.

Death by "Gomen ne!"

Juri to Chun-Li: "The case ain't closed yet. There's plenty more playtime in store... Betcha can't wait!" Thoughts: Clearly, Juri wants this train to keep going, even though Chun-Li has moved on. Juri is also unaware that Chun-Li has retired from police work, so I'm not sure what case she'd be chasing at this point. Unless there is some story development, or Chun-Li is still checking on remnants of Shadaloo, I think the only person that wants Chun-Li to keep chasing her is Juri herself. Interesting how Juri is projecting that Chun-Li must be itching to continue to play with Juri, to continue cleaning up after her messes, and to defend those Juri is assaulting. Clearly, Juri is obsessed with Chun-Li. Hell, she even copies her same "PERFECT KO" win animations. I'm curious if there is an underlying attachment that Juri has grown to Chun-Li, and now that M. Bison is gone for the both of them, the only source of genuine excitement and fun she can find comes from her favvorite rival: Chunners. From a humor standpoint, this could be seen as Juri being nothing more than a stalker ex-girlfriend, who can't get over her "school girl crush" on Chun-Li. But worstcase scenario, Juri still stalking Chun-Li could be dangerous for those around her, like Li-Fen or her kung fu students. Juri has shown in the past she is not above hurting innocents to get that thrill. And if Chun-Li is caught in the middle with Juri's obsessions that could easily turn into psycho, then Chun-li may be forced back into the fight once again.

Chun-Li's face went "SPLAT"
