IIRC Alex' command dive also has the arms crossed.

Hopefully it will be about Chun Li unlike Street Fighter Legends: Chun Li.

Shall we take that Capcom definitely ditched the original SF6 logo? They've kept the hexagon shape, but I don't think we've seen the SF6 thing since the first disaster.
 
Btw, with the positive reactions it seems the game is on its way the keep the tradition of even numbered Street Fighter games being succesful. It appears it's doing good in presentation, single player content and decent roster size and it's working.

Fuck Rose, SF6 put italian woman in already
 
Now my last hope of get male italian rep is Menat being in and working as link for adult Maggio looking Joseph Joestar ripoff as he's supposed to be 🤣
 
Like a 2% chance, but i work with what i have
 
Tell to that Rose bitch we don't need her anymore, i need Menat egyptian ass to dance on my screen

I come out of my 2 month hibernation and see this shit. 

If things go really bad for Ken I guess it might be a sign that Rose is eventually going to fix some things through time travel.
I also have some unfounded suspicion that we might see different versions of characters in the game, related to that.

Expanding on my dislike for the outfits
 
The world warriors pretty much all have some useless junk on them, like cheap Chinese game designs. For example, Ryu is wearing some blanket on him why? Does he carry it to sleep in the street? That's ok, but does he also wear it while he fights? Is this supposed to be an iconic look for Ryu in pop culture from now on, like, yeah the Street Fighter dude that wears a blanket across his chest? Why is Ken looking like disgraced Johnny Laurence? Why give Zangief pants? Is Blanka's iconic look supposed to include a scarf from now on? Why does it look like even Guile is wearing some sort of fashion clothes? Chun Li, I can't really be impartial about her... Do the designers think that any of these outfits will outlast the originals or improve on them somehow?
 
Then when we move into the row of other returning characters, is Cammy's waist-less, long-sleeved jacket supposed to be for summer or winter, or just 100% fashion design? DJ looks less visually striking than his classic maximum outfit though that's arguable I guess. Rashid looks great himself, but why the crossed belts across his chest? Does Juri really have non-functional zippers in her chaps? And she wears a spider piece that's separate from her actual vest? Why is ED wearing a jacket and no shirt? Why is Akuma wearing some random fur just over his shoulders?
 
Why does Jamie wear a jacket that does not cover his waist too? Nevermind his rolled-up leg cause he's a oh so quirky drunken fist fighter (I really hope it's rolled up and not tailored asymmetrical). I don't even know what to think of Lili, other than she looks like a Samurai Shodown character. How many unnecessary elements is Kimberly wearing? She's even carrying a braindead pandering character design “this character loves music, just like you” element!
 
I like many aspects of what we've seen so far, but the outfits look like some garbage-tier free-to-play Chinese game.

Marisa is the most classic Street Fighter looking character in the whole cast, including the redesigned returning characters.

I don't generally dislike what I'm seeing and I'm hype and positive overall about the game, but god, imo the outfits are terrible across the board.

Ah, I forgot to say, I suspect they are also trying to soften Chun Li's character from "You killed my father. Prepare to die" to "I'm looking for my father. I feel he's alive", in addition to the benefit of being able to bring him back in the future if they ever want.

Or it's Capcom going "nobody's dead until the body is found". I seem to recall that they've been playing with the idea of not knowing if her father is dead.

I interpreted that her encounters with Vega happened before her eventual confrontation with M. Bison. Chun's character story takes place when she was a rookie interpol officer. Vega tells Chun-Li her about her missing father and "how he met his end". And then when she faces M. Bison, that when she finds out from him that he's the one who killed him. 
 
 

I generally agree, especially the part about SFA and SF4 being quite vague and hard to take conclusions from.
 
For Alpha1 and Alpha2, given that the final bosses are character specific, I would take that Chun Li did fight Bison and it went like a mix of both game endings or Bison just brushed her aside while he had other matters to attend. However, SF5 seems to retcon this encounter to have her fight Vega instead. I guess Chun Li also met Gen and maybe he tested her to see if he recognized her moves as Dorai's.
 
For Alpha3, I'd take her fight with Birdie at face value since that's how she gets the Thailand lead (or she tricked him into saying), and not much else. I suppose she could have fought Cammy and maybe kinda lost the fight or parted ways, since Cammy then has to continue her A3 story (SF5 shows Cammy beating Chun Li in Cammy's ending, for whatever it's worth). Then Chun Li is generally shown inside the base in the different endings, so she probably didn't fight Bison or take part on other actions outside. Her other fights like Guile and Zangief seem like verbal encounters, though maybe SodomVsChun could be canon if it serves as the reason to stop him from progressing, and maybe DanVsChun since I think they know each other in later games and the fight has no consequences that would discard it as not possibly happening.
 
For SF4 I'd take ChunVsViper and ViperVsChun as a sign that the fight happened for real and resulted in a draw or peace. I'd discard BalrogVsChun and VegaVsChun as non-canon filler (Vega specifically is shown not fighting her in his ending). I guess I'd discard ChunVsJuri since nothing suggests that they fought again after the OVA, and it's just there to have some ingame representation of their rivalry from the OVA and promo material.
 
For Urien, I wouldn't look down on him as featless, as she's generally been shown and looked at as solid. Being second to Gill is no small thing and I could easily see Urien on Sagat-level. His fight with Chun Li in SF3, though, is another vague case since we don't know if he actually wanted to keep Li-Fen and lost against his will or it was all a game for him and handed the girl after.

Nice.  52Toys has been doing a great job with their BeastBox toys, so I'm sure these will be great. Can't say that I'm buying them for sure but it is nice news.

If we are speaking ingame, I like the overall style and I think the game looks gorgeous at times. However, it has an incredible amount of dumb flaws that bring it down.
 
Character models are outsourced and that's ok, but while some of them look fantastic other are really bad.
Some characters have serious issues with clipping and physics based elements, even in the character select and victory screens.
Character textures are aliased in places for god knows what reason, certainly not technical limitations.
Stage textures are often smudgy in a bad way, something that makes no sense in a closed-world game where stages are literally backgrounds and should look perfect.
Many stage elements don't cast shadows.
A number of stage characters move at 30 fps.
 
All of these are things that should have never been accepted regardless of the visual style the game went for. The art director should have said “No, this has to be redone or fixed somehow”. Other than that, yeah, I like it. I like it more than either realistic or anime styles, and I especially wouldn't trade the fully animated 60fps for a 10fps anime style.
 
Now, one thing I do dislike about the visual style and as personal opinion, there's no reason for characters to have giant hands and feet in a game that's high definition and 60fps. It looks bad and I'm not buying the readability thing.
