I think I'll try posting around here more often. Got so attached to SRK to the point it was my habit to visit the forum daily and so far I'm still getting used to this place. 
 
but at least all y'all SRKBros are here so that's good to know

Have Capcom mentioned anything about Luke's release date since his reveal trailer dropped? We're almost in October and they still have yet to step into the nextgen consoles with their fighting game department. I'd assume they're also doing a big balance patch and a final *final* rerelease of SFV with everything that came out after Champion Edition for like 40-45$

He's supposed to drop in November IIRC. Balance patch got pushed back to March as to not interfere with CPT.

bruh they better not shaft my boy Alex out of the protagonist role with that quote about Luke having a prominent role in the story going forward, and having a bright future in the series as a whole
 
inb4 Capcom still pusses out and just *slightly* moves the timeline forward from V to 6 instead of going a full on 3 retelling/remake

Same, that's part of the big confusion I've had for a few years. I can understand things change, but it looks like they were scrambling to fix something multiple times. With how close in canon SF3 is and how so many new plot points popped up, it's jarring that nothing's answered as Midgarsorm mentioned. As you pointed out, Scotia, they appeared to be moving towards something each season but then spun around. With how Necalli was ultimately nothing major and how G is tied to Rose's worst fears, they've got something super important brewing (even the interview with Nakayama said the team is excited at seeing how people are trying to tie G, Q, and the G project together), but just as G is getting started with a fancy space station, boss-worthy stage filled with fans and minions, and Rose confirming that he's not what he appears to be and is the end of all things, we're hitting the end of the game and the final character seems to be pointing to SF6's future. It's frustrating. I wonder how much of the story focus' shifting was due to the alleged drama behind the scenes? I do hope that things are smoothed out lore wise for SF6 now that it seems the current team's synergy is better.
 
Edit: Also, with Alex, he BETTER not be shafted. That would suck. I just hope that Luke being a "key player" means he's part of the protag posse but not shoving Alex out of the way. If Alex is large and incharge and Luke joins on his quest along the way, I'd be fine with that.

Man.... I'm usually not the kinda guy to be all doom and gloom but this E3 was seriously bad. It doesn't help at all that Sony have moved away from the event, and EA delayed their big showcase by a whole month. Microsoft and Nintendo pretty much carried the whole thing
 
Although I do want to admit that Day of the Devs, IGN Expo, Guerilla Collective, Wholesome Direct and Future Games Showcase had a crapton of interesting indies. Unfortunately however the industry can't be sustained by indies alone, and the AAA showcases were piss poor
 
Capcom, TakeTwo, Gearbox, Bandai, Square - why even do their own pressers at all? Nothing they showed couldn't have been included into other presentations with multiplatform titles. Hell, TakeTwo's wasn't even about fucking games in the first place. Gearbox boiled down to the Homeworld 3 reveal and some cringy chatter with Pitchford about the Borderlands movie
 
Also as per usual Devolver are the true MVPs who lowkey shit on the games industry by the virtue of ridicule of its most recent trends
oh and of course the guys over at Limited Run - NOBODY expected Plumbers Don't Wear Ties to get a release lmao
 
I understand this is mostly result of corona fucking things up for everybody last year, but man... the 2021 iteration of e3 still was a massive downgrade compared to the previous events. I guess I can at least thank the ESA for getting the band together so to speak, cuz imagine how shitty these showcases would've been if they were just solo events

June 1st, 2021 - Sega launches a remaster of a 2006 game with seemingly zero netcode improvements yet already on milking the shit out of it via an esports circuit, DLC, and merch
 
June 8th, 2021 - ArcSys launch a brand new entry in a near 25-year old franchise with amazing netcode which allows people across atlantic ocean play vs each other with next to no issues unless one of the people is on WiFi
 
yeah I see nothing suspicious or wrong with this

isn't this exactly what people want? KOFXIV but in a prettier wrapping (and now with hopefully better online)?

shit I can't even count how many pages of lore discussion I've missed out on. Has to be ~300 on SRK and another 15 here. 
 
But glad to see the talk is still going on
 
Of course we still have Oro, Akira and whoever's last Season 5 character is, but it's a bit sad knowing the additional characters that made it into the game since Season 2 have no effect on the main overarching story present in vanilla SF5, so here's hopes Capcom have learned a thing or two and can make SF6's story mode a more coherent experience

a bad habit of mine
 
tend to say sorry a lo, only for the person I'm talking to to say "it's okay, chill out"
 
My stupid brain just automatically assumes something I said was dumb as af so I preemptively apologize 

graphics are worse
voice acting is much lower quality
doesn't have syphonic orchestral soundtrack
random encounters are removed in favor of overworld monsters
 
the only plus of that release is being able to recruit Red to the party
