To me at least, it seems that they are presenting both Ryu and Chun Li as masters. Their vibe and aesthetic is completely different from Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly. The new guys in charge seem to have an attention to deal that was missing in early SFV. The make a point to mention Ryu's attire is similar to Gouken's. They show Chun Li schooling Li Fen with near zero effort.

To my knowledge, Luke and Chun-Li are the only ones confirmed to be masters.

Shakunetsu · August 24, 2022

Luke being a master before Ryu is both hilarious and sad at the same time. What's the point in Ryu dressing up like Gouken if he isn't a master raising a kid and running his own dojo?

Darc_Requiem · August 1, 2022

Apparently he was. His daughter is a married to an American.

Shakunetsu · August 1, 2022

Most people who like the female cast only care about their looks. So I'm not surprised Chun-Li ended up being a single mother of an adopted child meanwhile Ken, Guile, Dhalsim, Dudley and Hakan have a wife and kid(s) and their stories aren't always centred around raising them.

C. Vipers the only mother in SF but then again she's Capcom's Vanessa

they could easily fix that

Just like how they fixed Ken's face in V.

Shakunetsu · July 16, 2022

That whole Hugo vs Ryu ordeal was made up by the fans. The only time they fought was in the spin-off manga. If Ryu's regular Shoryuken can scar Sagat then a Shin Shoryuken should outright murder it's victim like a MK fatality.

Would say of the very few SF6 ones we seen, only particular one is Ryu to Luke

"Your fists show you the path forward. I see my younger self in you."

As Capcom there is clearly using Ryu's quote as endorsement to try sell Luke as special one, shonen hero material etc

Ryu's getting the Dante treatment but worse since Ryu's still not a master and will probably be weaker than Akuma for another 30 years. Luke is the new Ryu, Jamie is the new Ken, so that leaves Kimberly as the new Chun-Li? They teased her in the same trailer that introduced us to Jamie.

BornWinner · June 21, 2022

What i find funny is that Ryu's winquote to Chun-Li isn't unique and yet people on twitter went crazy over it:

Ryu to E. Honda in SFV: "Nothing stays the same. Every time we fight, you teach me something new."

Ryu to Ken in SFA3: "You always exceed my expectations... I'm happy!"

Ryu to Dhalsim in USFIV: "I never tire of watching you in action. Your moves are inspiring."

It's so generic it hurts.

Shakunetsu · June 18, 2022

Vanilla SFIV only had 16 characters. I hope SF6 doesn't start with 16 like the last 2 games they need to start strong to erase people's minds from SFV's release.

Shakunetsu · June 17, 2022

With Luke that makes 14 characters.

Shakunetsu · June 16, 2022

This really isn't Ryu's game. He doesn't fit in the tone they're going for and even with the forced shamisen, this theme has no relation to Ryu at all.

Still strange, feel like personality wise Alex remind me Ryu more than Luke

I think it's because Alex was pushed as the main character for the SFIII and nothing else. Luke is being pushed as not only the main character but also the poster boy going forward.

it's on the Playstation Blog, so not really a "leak", unlike the leaked character roster.

I'm watching Cammy in her classic outfit doing her super on Cammy in her new outfit. It seems all supers are going to be 15 second cinematics now.

Edit: That Ken story leak has to be true, I've never seen Ken look like this before.

June 3, 2022

And now there's in-game footage floating around. wtf is going on over at Capcom?

Shakunetsu · June 3, 2022

Some story related leaks from 4chan.

Ken

Spoiler

Q:

Why the fuck does Ken look like a hobo?

A: Fuck it, I’ll risk my job for this

Ken goes on a journey similar to Ryu to master his skills. But it cost him his finance and family, so he’s looking to fight Ryu once more to regain his glory. A lot of the characters, Luke included, call Ken a washed up has been, which is going to be his story for the roaming mode. It’s your job to help him gain his confidence back

Laura shows up in the story mode, and Sean too, to try to motivate Ken in making a comeback

Q:

That's kind cool, but what's with the dogtag?

A:

It belongs to Mel Masters

The reason this might be legit is because of Menat's winquote:

Poison

Spoiler

Q: Will Poison be in the game?

A: Later on. She’s currently a celebrity alongside Hugo, so they are sitting this one out until the DLC comes out. Capcom realizes that she prints money at this point. Hugo, not so much.

Concerning SFIII characters on what Capcom thinks of them @Scotia

Spoiler

Q:

Is there any reason none of the SFIII characters made it in? Also, I doubt dlc plans are finalized, but does Laura have a shot?

A:

The reason is Capcom feels that 3rd strike characters simply don’t sell at all. Capcom feels that they’ve never clicked with an audience, which is why you see even Udon not using them much in promotional art because Capcom has a specific mindset about them. Hell, it was already a nightmare to convince Capcom to use Urien, and Oro, who was supposed to be released a long time ago in V (he was one of the first DLC characters, but pushed him back because the original story in SFV got nuked halfway when finishing it up, which I can explain in better detail which also explains why 3rd strike characters aren’t on Capcoms mind at the moment)

Q:

I KNEW there was something off about SFV story! Can you tell us about that?

A:

Sure thing anon. So originally, the story was supposed to be that Necalli KILLS Bison, which is why Ryu was supposed to awaken the Power Of Nothingness to beat him at the very last chapter. But then they couldn’t get Oro in time, and a lot of the game was in beta for a long long time because Capcom wanted to rush the game for their events, so they decided to scrap the entire story, and make it the way you see today. If you really play the game story mode again, or watch it, pay careful attention to when Bison mentions Necalli. After that scene, the entire story got rewritten to the point that it’s unrecognizable from the original draft.

Q:

Slightly related question. Is there any reason they chose not to give Bison his Story Mode costume for the battle against Ryu. It's pretty clearly supposed to be him battle damaged after Nash's final attack, but they never used it for some reason.

A:

Actually yes. Here’s the real crazy shit anon. Remember how Necalli V trigger makes his hair go red? Originally, Bisons battle damaged outfit was due to Nash. Then Necalli devours Bisons soul, effectively killing him, but not taking away his psycho powers, since now Necalli has them. Ryu then kills Necalli at the final battle with The Power Of Nothingness. The plans fell through, but Capcom left the bits of the story in the final product. It was a complete shit show.

Q:

Do you mean 3rd Strike specifically or III in general? Because I feel like characters like Dudley and Ibuki are insanely popular, even for 3S alone Makoto and Q have their niche.

A:

3 in general. Capcom knows Ibuki has a fan base & urien was well received, but they rather not use them for the base roster at the moment because Capcom really wants to focus on “retiring” the old version for Luke & others in the story mode. Seriously, people are going to be PISSED about what happens to Ken.

Alex

Spoiler

Q:

PLEASE TELL ME IF ALEX IS COMING ANON
I NEED TO KNOW

A:

I’m sorry, I’m getting back to everyone as quick as I can since it’s late at night here. But Alex is in story mode, and you run into him. He’s long since retired from fighting, but fights Luke to show him that he still has it and gives him advice on how to control his aggression. But yeah, Alex is long retired from the fighting scene. Says it’s not worth it

So the guy's tier-list had me combing through Chun-Li's win/loss record according to the SF canon (because I have nothing better to do on a monday workday). In chronical order to the lore (including all games, retcons, OVAs, movies, story modes, Fight Your Rivals)

Quote

Alpha

Most rival encounters aren't canon or acknowledged by Capcom themselves. In Alpha 2 you knew Ryu fought against Sagat, Ken, Sakura and Akuma because right after the fight you see the outcome in the ending. You don't get that with Chun-Li who lost to M. Bison. We see the outcome of Akuma vs Gen as well. So Chun-Li has no solid feats in the Alpha timeline unless Capcom confirms these encounters. Alpha 3 is one big mess as a whole.

Quote

SFIV

Same goes for SFIV, Ryu fighting Sagat, Ken and Sakura was acknowledged in Ryu's ending when he had flashbacks about them, you also had Sagat's ending where we see him fight Ryu. We don't get that for Chun-Li's rival scenes and it's also ridiculous to believe that Chun-Li can beat an even stronger Juri in SFIV. Juri's OVA and the SFIV game takes place in 1 month since Juri is 25 according to her OVA and Mel is born after Ken comes back from the tournament. Juri with a prototype FSE beat Chun-Li with no difficulty and Chun-Li spent the rest of the OVA in the hospital while Juri got into more fights and S.I.N completed the FSE for her.

The SFIV Aftermath is non-canon, Capcom could've mentioned it during SF's 30th and 35th anniversary but they haven't. Even if it was canon, Chun-Li needs help to beat M. Bison while Nash (alive) and Ryu (SFV, SFIII) can solo him.

Quote

SFV

She lost to an out of shape Birdie. The only thing worse than that is losing to Sean or Dan.

Quote

Beating Urien

Urien has no feats outside of beating a weakened Nash who needed Kolin to extend his time right after. People think Urien is strong because his tall, imposing and says "die" a lot. He's a chump, not even in the same league as Gill or M. Bison. Chun-Li's popularity is so great that people will think she's top tier narratively no matter what Capcom does to her (like losing to Birdie).

For SF6, the most you can hope for is Chun-Li getting the "family" power up Ken got when fighting C. Viper...then again family power Ken wasn't even to beat Zangief so nvm.

BornWinner · May 23, 2022

Only Chun-Li can spend her whole career losing and then end up on B-tier or higher on people's list. She's above Charlie Nash who in SFV, beat down Guile when he didn't know how to use his body properly, he also put up a better fight against M. Bison than Chun-Li ever could in her whole life and this is Nash who's weaker than when he was alive. Capcom even had Nash appear in Ryu's story to show that they're both nerfed from their powers, they even did the anime fist bump before ending the fight.

IMO It's hard to make power scaling lists for SF more than any other FG. There's too many spin-offs that people consume and consider canon, character bias is way too strong (looking at Ken, Final Fighters, Chun-Li and Cammy) and then there's too many Japanese only books that never got translated.

You never see this problem in Tekken or MK because the canon is easy to follow even for casual audiences. I don't think Tekken has half the spin-offs SF has even with that netflix anime coming out this year.

Okay, suit Blanka is neat, but you people saying it should be his new default need to calm the fuck down.

It doesn't fit his character. Just like stupid mayor Cody.

It doesn't fit his current character but Capcom loves to capitalize on meme's for easy exposure. Hot Ryu was a meme started in the west and they pandered to that crowd in Fortnite and SF6. Now they got Blanka on the "glow up/we're not the same" meme and they'll definitely use it again in the future.

Prison Cody made 0 sense back in the day, but they made it work somehow. They can easily write something for Blanka who's been a goofball joke character since SFA3.
