Now that udon shit is canon i'm bit nervous about it, i think Luke vs Ken fight dynamic was handled bit like crap imho

 

 

Street Fighter Masters / Legends / Origins are not canon to the games.

Street Fighter 6 comics, specifically the stories written by Nakayama, are canon to the games.

As of now, Tekken 8 has the best cinematic story mode in the genre. After Jin hit that pose and that theme started playing i knew this was the only modern fighting game that cared about its story.

This is actually major spoilers for the MK1 story so turn back now.

Becomes a multiverse story. The main bad guy is Titan Shang Tsung, the same Shang Tsung that won if you choose him for the final fight in MK11 aftermath. The story then takes a hard swerve in trying to stop him, making a lot of the new iterations of kharacters irrelevant over to focus on multiverse shit. This also means instead of the game being a straight up reboot like they claimed, it’s a straight up sequel to MK11.

 

 

So it's just like how SF6 was supposed to be about the "new generation"  but then they turn around and make Ken the main character?

In his ASF recap, anything about his encounter with G? I'm starvin' heeeeeere!

Nothing on G but according to Rashid his ancestors got obliterated by invaders with "fair skin and golden hair, and flew banners split evenly in red and blue." After that you get artwork where you can see Gill riding a horse.

Juri was using the Feng Shui Engine in SF4 which Bison ripped out of her eye socket. Bison could take on Guile, Chun-Li, and Cammy with ease, so FSE Juri was nothing to him.

Juri beat Cammy without using the FSE and she had the upperhand against Guile & Chun-Li when she was fighting normally. The weaker SFV Juri was able to fight Vega to a draw more than once. The same Vega who bullied Cammy throughout A Shadow Falls.

SF doesn't shy away from new characters beating down the old but this is nicest Capcom's been in a long time. I don't think we'll ever see Jamie fight the WW's since the end result will make people mad.

All of those make sense except Jamie.  That puts him above most of the World Warriors.

Makes sense to me.

Alex came out of nowhere and put Balrog to sleep. Juri did the same to Chun-Li, Guile and Cammy. Maybe the World Warriors aren't that big of a deal in the world of fighting.

And? Capcom said G was the boss of SFV and we all know that isn't true.

That's 2 official sources where Capcom called Abel a protagonist. C. Viper was never the main protagonist. In the vanilla version of SFIV the first character you see is Abel.

Abel was not the protagonist of SF4. 

Alex's game flopped.

Abel's game was the first SF game in nearly a decade. No one cared about the new stuff people wanted the nostalgia.

Rashid's game flopped in it's first year.

Luke is the only protagonist with a good game backing him. It also helps that he has a personality, a rival and isn't a coward who backs down a from a fight. I'm going to play Luke just as Capcom intended: Modern Controls + Wifi. 

Luke's everywhere in SF6's marketing but the real main character is Ken.

Could you please PM the links?

Capcom took the stream down so all the vods are gone. 

• 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. 

All will be forgiven so long as there's a jukebox option.

Interesting video about fighters that have done new generations and how successful they were

 

 

That thumbnail speaks volumes.

1- Ryu is not a master yet and he certainly wouldn't call himself that. Oro said it would take Ryu more than a decade to become strong enough to take him on.

Oro only said that if Ryu became his disciple.

To me, that scene established that they're both nerfed but they'll continue going forward anyway. For Ryu we see that he's always holding back the SNH in every fight. Zombie Nash destroyed Guile and he still had no idea what was going on with his body, then shortly after we see that his new body was already breaking down after fighting Urien.  It's crazy how the weakest Nash in the series casually walked up to Guile, Cammy and Chun-Li. He could take all 3 of them at once like a KOF boss.

R.I.P Nash.

But i got Alpha Cody > Alpha Ken

At that point would give Alpha Nash slight edge (???) over him though

All that bum did was beat up a bunch of jobbers alongside 2 other fighters. Cody breaking a wall with his fist is nothing when Karin (Sakura tier) and Chun-Li (jobber) knocked down those metal doors in SFV.

Despite being a side character, Nash has better feats than 80% of the cast who spend their time doing nothing. Nash was built different.

Capcom expects me to believe this guy joined the military, left, became a PMC and was successful enough to become a trainer/mentor at 22?

That's why he's the GOAT.

When Gouken banished that loser there was no mention of the SNH. The only time Dan used the SNH was in the UDON comics. There's no "holding back" he really is weak and he'll always be a joke. Sean is weak because he's just started his journey and Ken's a bad teacher, so he has nowhere to go but up. SF6 Sean should be an average fighter depending on how much time has passed since 3rd Strike.

Is this...a good theme that actually fits the character and respect their legacy?

It's odd to exclude Sim and include Blanka actually. Ryu and Blanka don't really have any relationship.

Dhalsim is there but they made him really small on the bottom left. He's the only character in that panel who helped Ryu yet they make it seem like he's less important than Blanka who Ryu's never spoken to (on screen).

So...

 

...what exactly is the thing on Juri supposed to be?

 

The black spider.

 

Is it like a bizarre body-suit that's just impossible-clothes? Or...is it a tattoo? Or body paint?

Sagat and Retsu are there but no Necalli.

A child prodigy! That's literally Sakura's shtick. She learned how to fight like Ryu by literally watching him. She'd give Seth a run for his money with that kind of mimicry. 

Where's my girl Sakura?!?!?!!

Ryu absorbed Sakura to achieve even greater strength.
