I feel like we're gonna need a separate CAC thread for 6 world tour

the one thing that was kinda surprising was that there was no trophy for getting to certain ranks.

That's a good thing. Makes it easier for completionist to platinum the game without grinding God knows how long in ranked. And frankly I never liked trophies that are tire to online because there are now hundreds of ps3 and 4 games where you can't collect everything due to shut down servers or dead playerbase

there's Fighter Coins in game that can be exchanged for costumes and characters.  I have no idea how they're earned

Microtransactions 

The slaughterhouse opening its doors for another fighting game lol 

Anybody remembers the MK11 one where people abused the hell out of Sheeva stomp? 

Nah you don't get it, Ed is crazy popular, he just had to be in s1 DLC

and nobody plays it today when it’s 10x more accessible. 

Really? 

Because if we look at the situation, here's how you can access SF3:

- Unofficial emulator with a pirated ROM copy via Fightcade, only on PC

- Part of a legacy collection with other classic SF games, with terrible netcode and in general shitty online environment 

That's not exactly ideal

am explicitly saying Capcom wouldn’t do this…because that game would flop.

Are you seriously trying to argue if 6 had more than acouple SF3 characters at launch it would fail?

Them boys are DLC because the characters needed to actually sell the game are in the base roster. 

Why would they sell you a 60$ with 3s characters when they can milk you over the years for 5$ a pop or 30$ per season pass?

When 3S released people didn't like the new cast immediately, same goes for the music because it was new and different.

Now they are considered classics.

 

I assume something similar might occur in SF6 in the upcoming years or when SF7 comes out.

There's one key difference - 6 has a shitty soundtrack

if SF3 was actually popular y’all wouldn’t have to beg papa Capcom for your characters lmao

That's exactly why they sell them as DLC after launch 

What a fucking nothing burger of a broadcast.. This is what they've been hyping us for? 

Yeah I was thinking something like Петергофский Дворец, very imperial Russia style architecture used for the building in that concept art. Wouldn't mind seeing it as a stage at all given how beautiful Петергоф is

Not even sure why people seems wake up today on Lily case, i think we got bunch of underage girls in SF history, even if characters ages are -purposely, for bunch of reasons- keept vague as possible

Because the worst we've had before is Sakura pantsushots and alpha Cammy leotard. Elena is pretty ambiguous. Ibuki just had the thigh windows. Makoto was done tastefully in my opinion. The rest of SF ladies are at least of legal age and older.

Friendly reminder the devs still haven't said if she's underage or not 

I'm really behind on this topic but since a major event is happening today... 

Holy fuck what a fumble in regards to Overwatch. Blizzard literally ha one of the hottest IPs in the market right now and they're completely fucking mismanaging it - first by essentially killing the original game by giving it zero content for 3 years, then straight up from it's customers (hello WC3 Reforged) with the whole OW2 transition, and now cancelling the entire purpose of 2's existence - a proper single player experience 

They have a massive universe to work with, a ton of stories to tell, nearly 30 characters to explore, and what do they do with it? Just change the monetization model while the competitive scene has been dying a slow death 

It's probably still not as bad as Halo Infinite (cuz let's be honest Halo is in the gutter and grave again), but good God right now Diablo IV is like the only decent enough thing upcoming from Blizzard. We're lucky that HOTS and StarCraft passed away a long time ago now, at least they didn't have to go through whatever the fuck 2023 Blizzard's state is (but that also sucks because we'll never get a StarCraft 3, or a World of StarCraft for that matter) 

At this rate I'm not even expecting the "story missions" and "lore codex" to deliver as eveybody is predicting it'll just be same pve content Overwatch got in the past years just with a different flavor and maybe some extra steps 

Y'all are unironically doing the character quiz?

Hot take but I almost feel like they left the grapplers out of the beta on purpose. Knowing everybody is spamming drive impact and getting spd’d would have the pitchforks out for grapplers

Yeah but think about the clown fiesta that will unfold on day one with newbies picking up Gief Honda and Marissa, switching to modern controls, then bodying other newbies by just slamming their faces into the ground. It's gonna be great 

I hope the rest of the grappler roster in SF isn't too far off in terms of DLC additions. 

We've waited for a Hugo comeback long enough 

Just two more weeks and we all can finally bury SFV forever, never to touch it again

you leave Ryu’s big sweaty muscles out of this!!!!

Hell no, I want them on the boxart front and center!!!!!!!!!!!

They better not have some scene in the game with Cammy and Juri kissing passionately as well, because that would make me really angry!

You hear me Capcom? If you ever do something like that I would get really angry and furious!

Yeah, I'm gonna place and cancel my preorder just to send a message to never put passionate lesbo sex between a schizo Barefoot Korean and a bootiful British cat lover, we can't allow these companies to further taint the genre instead of focusing on Ryu's sweaty muscles after a good fight 

Can't unsee it now 

Does anybody else think the background objects and NPCs in Hong Kong state are way too big? Like the people standing there are actually taller than the characters even though they're far away from the camera. Something isn't quite right with the scale

Someone should tell NRS that. No hyperbole but Kerri Hoskins has aged better than in game Sonya Blade and it's not even close. Kerri Hoskins vs MK11 Sonya is a 10-0 matchup. Scratch that a 13-0 matchup.

Tfw miss hoskins will never step on you in a Sonya outfit 

. Like why even live at that point 

Brother really just mentioned half the fgc on one tweet
