Fuck, that Ken quote goes hard. Anyway, you heard it here first: Manon is the boss of the nightclub from Remy's stage in 3rd Strike.

I think G and JP are the same person, so it's intentional on Capcom's part to leave it ambigous in that shot, knowing nerds would dig for it and ask that question. G is the American persona, while JP will be the Russian persona. After all, G was SFV's "boss" and JP is SFVI's. I expect a tweaked moveset, same as between G and Q, but evoking that same style.

This Bosch guy looks pretty cool. Capcom designs on fire. Too bad he has the same name as my washing machine. It would've made more sense if he were a woman, at least 😅😂

I hope Kimberly has a twerk taunt. It would drive her haters wild.

Dostoievsky confirmed bottom tier. You'd have to be an idiot to play him

With Q they should just have him miss the walkdown. Lights go out. And he just comes out on the VS screen.

So i watched Shaman King, both series back to back. I must say that I much prefer the old anime's pacing. Sometimes these character and their evolution needs more room to breath. The new series is crazy fast. That worked for me when watching the introduction part, which is the same between both series. It served as a nice recap, with the proper changes made to accommodate the later developments. However, once new material kicks in, I felt like everything was going crazy quick. Not all of it needed expanding, but there's certainly a couple of parts that I wish they took more time to develop. However, the 2021's show's later half blows the old story out of the water with ease and makes the show worth to watch. Many characters get much better development, including villains and the story is simply more entertaining. The old show's later half is a slog to get trough. The biggest change for me comes with Lieserg. I despised him in the old show, but the new one actually got me to tolerate him. All in all, I prefer the old show's first half, before it diverges from the manga, better than the new show, but the new show has a much better later half, so it evens out. However, I go with the new show, for the best experience, if I were to chose. One other thing, while the old show has a very choppy 2000's animation style, with barely any movement at all, I can't say the animation of the 2021 version is much better. I expected a lot more sakuga, but it's not that much better. Of course, it's much prettier than the old show, but I found it to be lacking in some aspects. Maybe I had too high expectations. Looking forward to Flowers.

Just came here to see if anyone was talking about this. He was such a great artist. Truly great writer.

The last two movies were great. Especially the prequel one. I'm watching the Trust and Betrayal OVA now and I must say I prefer the movie version.

Yeah, I've basically finished all canon material by now. There's a couple more episodes at the end which are adaptations, according to this list https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/rurouni-kenshin. I'll try to skim trough the rest, but what interested me, the Kyoto arc, I've already finished.

I've watched the 2021 Rurouni Kenshin movies in an airplane recently and got hooked, so I started watching the old anime and man, am I disappointed. It's not nearly as good as I remember it being when I was a kid. Loved the 2 live action movies, though. Will give the other 3 a shot too. And the OVA's. Those look interesting. It does look like a story better told in movie format that serialized, because the good stuff is clearly there... but the anime is just a chore to get trough.

Man, they made Guile look gooooood. Even more, I think in game he actually looks better than in the concept art, so that makes me even more excited to see the other characters in action. Stage looks sick too. I honestly can't understand where all of this spark was during SFV's lifetime. It just seems so simple and natural and easy to get people excited about Street Fighter. It's fucking Street Fighter after all.

I think the orange suit man is JP and the elderly man simply hasn't been leaked yet. If the leak is right there's still 3 more characters, one of which would be Rose. The other two might be the aforementioned elderly man and some other, possibly Li Fen, or whoever the gal fighting Chun Li in the trailer is. Though I think she's just some generic fighting girl model that you'll use in World Tour mode and they're using that to showcase you getting trained by the actual Street Fighter characters.

If the Secret Society went for Ken's fortune, who uses it FOR FUCKING NOTHING, while passing on the Kanzuki Estate after the events of Street Fighter V, they're the dumbest fucking shadow villains in the universe lol

So, am I the only one feeling a connection between G and JP? One's an american president type figure, while the other is a russian aristocratic / tzarist looking figure. Basically, both look like the highest class of their representative countries of "origin". Both are ominous fellows and certainly with similar goals. Could they be the same guy? Or part of the same organization? We already speculated when G came out that he shows himself in the Lincoln aesthetic to americans to gain their trust, while he might show a different facade in other places of the world. Could JP use a similar strategy, but to russians? Maybe he's just one of G's multiple personalities. And, of course, could JP be tied to the Secret Society? We kinda already know that he uses Psycho Power. Maybe he's the former Emperor? So interesting, this guy! I love a good villain design man! I feel you can make up all kinds of crazy stuff. This period of speculation until the actual story comes up is the best.

I like that they're taking risks with their characters, like making Ken downtrodden. I admit, the realistic style looks better than I thought it would and it being highly stylized and the graffiti style they go for in this game make it feel pretty recognizably Street Fighter, even though it's new. I think the over stylized redesings are a bit weird, but as we saw with the Cammy leak, most are probably getting classic costumes anyway so not much of a problem. This is the first time all the newcomers in a Street Fighter game are great. I especially love JP. Even Luke seems great... too bad SFV's version of him kinda stole his thunder. Am I the only one who feels the newcomers are taking some inspiration from ARIKA's page in character desgins? Even stuff like Chun-Li's redesgin reminds me of that kung fu chick from Fighting Layer.

I read that as foreskin and the sentance made too much sense. Had to do a double take.

I too share this opinion, but I think I can see where they are going with it

Just got back fron watching Dr Strange. For a bit of context: After Endgame I haven't watched ANYTHING Marvel. (CB related for that matter) Not even FFH, even though I intend to eventually. I just don't give a shit about the direction they're taking the Universe in at the moment. That said: this is the best fucking Marvel movie. I'm not joking. It's incredible! If you've seen the spoilers and hated the sound of them, you'll be surprised how good it's actually executed. If you loved them, you still have no clue what's in store for you. And there's one reason for this: Sam Raimi. This motherfucker just oozes talent: he brought everything out of these actors to make them as sympathetic as possible, he put his directing experience to incredible use in such a fitting way for this story and it's the best cinemarography in a Marvel movie baaaar fucking none. There's no shot that's not memorable. Without this incredible direction, this movie would've been a mess. But as it stands, it's going to top the world, I swear.

Not if they show her getting viciously disemboweled for those 10 minutes.

I think it's hinted she's Jessica or something. His story certainly makes her seem like someone from his past looking out for him. At least, that's what I gathered from it. If it's not Jessica, I don't know who else might be. Cody doesn't have any history with anyone else. Even if it's not Jessica, Marlowe really isn't just what she looks like.

Legends is still going???

Wow! Welcome Cestus! We've missed you around here! What's your take on Luke, bro?

Prince of Persia is not even on the list? WHACK

You know, I agree with everything you said. He's a fine character, probably even a great one. Just not as a boss. If he were the sub-boss, I'd be all over him. His design, personality and story are great and he makes a great rival for K'. Again... just not as a final boss.
