Please no. Can't imagine RSF pressure backed up by drive rushes and drive cancels. It'd be nuts.
 
Also, considering the awesome job they did overall with release roster and season 1, how can anybody say the next four characters are disappointing? We don't know what they're going to do with them.  Odds are great that they'll be awesome to play though.  If there's any company you should give the benefit of the doubt on the positive side, its definitely this one. NRS and ASW is "eh". Like I'm hype for the next character after the one that dropped today, but if we're being real we don't know wtf is going to happen.
 
At least with SF6 I know the character is going to have some type of awesome going for it.

@-PVL93-Yeah, they had a set format with SFV. Until they show otherwise in SF6, it makes sense that they'd go with the same philosophy going forward. So 3 men, 1 woman and one of the four characters being new, seems to be the SF6 format. I'm hoping it goes back to 6. I thought the 4 men/2 women setup was ideal.

From what has been gleamed Cour 3 should cover most if not all of the remaining  story and Cour 4 might be all new stuff that Kubo might have wanted to put in.
 
 

Lot OT, but thread is in hybernation till Akuma's next trailer anyway lol
 
@Darc_Requiemthanks to last jacket i'm finally satisfied with my V.Rosso

Moveset kinda cool too already, but pray Akuma will add

 
 
EDIT: adding here too for the lulz

Watching the many Fatal Fury gameplay impressions has me excited.
 
But what I'm most looking forward to is seeing if Kain's words to Rock at the end of Garou ("What if I told you your mother was still alive?") end up being legit.
 
Yes, I'm still a story nigga at heart. I really need this question answered.
 
 

People complain about fighting games being hard and needing modern controls to play and this dude was playing USF4 with his mouth.  

Brolylegs undeniably was, is and will be an inspiration for people all over the world no matter the hobby or genre they pick up, dude's power level could not be contained by sheer body deformations, and he was godlike at fighting games too when you still have pathetic bitches on reddit saying they can't do a quarter circle motion 

Brolylegs was a prime example of why you should never give up on yourself.
 
Dude was mad hilarious as well.
 
One of the best Chun-Li players ever.
 
RIP

Indeed
Same father, so FF is little brother 😁
Cool guy
 
AoF is youngest brother, but somehow seems older than FF. Tough kid we respect, even if not as likeable as FF who's our fav brother
 
SS is the fun brother in law with best alcoholic stories, good drunk fellow
 
KoF is the edgy nephew you want to slap because his father FF never did. Can't lift grocery bags but still he can get laid, we respect that
 
DS is son we love most, but world does'nt understand him and can't find a job to save his life. Probably fatherly love blind our judgement
 
VF is the boring engineer son with glasses and stick up in the ass. Basically adult Gohan. He ever speak about how complex his job is but we couldn't care less
 
TK is cool oldest nephew, basically what his dad (VF) was'nt. Charisma jumped a generation and we're proud of him because he's coolest guy in town and growing strong. Only one truly able to stand and bang with us, true heir shit
 
SB/SC is middle nephew with ponytail who ducked actual fight sports and does mcdojo kung fu because swing sticks and nuchakus make him feel ninja. For mysterious reasons despite that in his youth was even better than TK even if less popular, but that phase lasted very little and became a pink haired male cosplayer
 
DoA is young female nephew who went to good private school but still end up with OnlyFans channel
 
BR is a young distant cousin. Good boy but can't handle coke. It's a while we don't see him
 
FEXL is the new name of our secret twin. Had to chose hidden humble path because have the most holy mission: keep V.Rosso trapped in a mediocre universe nobody care about so he can't get pregnant all SF waifus
 
SMASH is somebody's adopted toddler. Too young to speak with adults beyond MAMA PAPA POOPOO, he's somehow adorable but we suspect have below average IQ and will never pass chimp level. Somehow have lot famous friends
 
To some extent this is family, but on reality only allowed in the home are FF and TK, KoF too if he shut up
 
 

FF is like SF's little brother
TK is like SF's nephew
 
They're  allowed in the house

Yeah i think Gato is likely to sneak into start cast, wich i like as was my Garou fav
But i would be fine with S1 too, will no buy till Joe and no way he's start cast given we got shitty disciple
 
We got basically confirmation for Joe and Andy by artwork, and kinda like i would have loved see some more SF2ers sneak into SF3, i would love just the same see some FF vets get into Garou
 
My wishlist

 
I know call Rick Strowdt a vet is bit blasphemy, but still was cool boxing guy lol

@Doctrine_Dark with the face reveal everybody 😉

Really digging the artstyle in City of the Wolves. I can't wait to see more footage at EVO Japan.

Well Elena was my first female pick so glad for it
 
Vega and Mika as said are characters i like to jump in, simply could have waited them for S3 or S4 and get other chars instead, as i just miss some other characters more
 
If we want accept a shoto must be in every season (wich there's no reason to be, beside fanbase bad taste) at this point would have much prefered get Sean... but again SF fanbase and their love for sakura, so it is what it is

Elena, Vega and Mika are all A+ picks.  Bison is too soon, like you said.  Sakura is what it is.  A shoto every season is just expected.

I’m 100% sold this look incredible holy shit 

From one game with parries to another.
 
Can't wait for dudes to start malding at people doing JDs in the air to evade anti airs and gain health.
 
😂

Juri is still Barefoot in the pajama costume 

I'd also point this out about the Shoryuken...
 
It starts at the solar plexus specifically and goes up from there in a straight line for the jaw. Sagat's scar actually shows why it didn't kill him as a Metsu Shoryuken...it missed and was off-center.
 
Ideally, a proper metsu shoryuken rips a person open along their median line (where the chakra points lie) from solar plexus to jaw. Spiritually, that much damage should be absolutely fatal and impossible to recover from. It would be like getting split up the middle by a chainsaw at high speed.
 
An interesting thing to note is the high damage to Sagat along the middle part of his body's chakra points where Emotional Masculine Yang energy is regulated. After this damage to  him, Sagat becomes vengeful and obsessive with his aggression towards Ryu. A disorder of the yang. Neat stuff.
 
The interesting thing about Ryu's Shin Shoryuken is that it hits the balance point first which lets Ryu specifically target the chin for a knockout blow instead of destroying the persons mid-section. A much more precise hit that is far more merciful.
 

This is it, and it is because Ryu won't succumb to the SnH in the way Akuma wants he's decided to play Ryu's game and start to take inspiration from him. The thing is when it comes to the Shoryu in canon it was the second most effective move in Ansatusken right below the SGS. Goutetsu didn't ban the move, but Gouken did for himself yet he did teach it to his students as their most potent attack. In canon, the SRK is supposed to be a last resort move which is why both Ryu and Ken have some variant of it as their SA3 & CA .
 
I understand from the canon of SRK that it by design is meant to kill in one hit.
The SRK was already scientifically proven to have the potential to knock a person's head clean off their shoulders.
 
What is Akuma doing to the statue in SF6 that he's practicing his Shoryu on?

 
It's a blatant killing move yet Gouken and Ryu have made the attack just as effective without the destruction and killing through the technique. 
How is the technique performed?
Look at the obvious difference between a Tiger Uppercut and SRK. 
 
From the initial description of an SRK you would think a style like Muay Thai would benefit from an extra knee strike within the said technique. 
Although, Sagat has always performed Tiger Uppercut without a launching knee like the Shoryu.

 
Possibly because even Sagat knew that adding such impact without good judgment would probably end in disaster.
 
The Shin Shoryu in SF6 displays that Ryu launches his opponent with his knee during the final hit and that his fist only initially connects with the jaw and gut of his opponent. It doesn't launch the opponent through his jaw like a typical SRK would be designed to do. The launching action is directed toward the opponent's full body through a knee to the stomach in hopes of a clean KO.
 
This is in direct contrast to Kage just a game prior in SF5 who would launch a knee in conjunction with his fist connected directly to his opponent's jaw during his Metsu Shoryu. This would probably add more impact to the devastating nature of the SRK in rending a person's head from their neck.
