If I ever come across Akuma in World Tour Mode, I'm going to give him a gift in the form of a magazine in the hopes that he replies with a Raging Demon for wasting his time.

At least Ed got a trailer. Alex fans had to make their own trailer
 
 

Just having his beard actually cover his chin improves his look SO much.

Bosch concept designs posted by Nakayama.
 

 
 

First Hitler, then KKK King, and now:
 
Are Tekken players okay?
 
 
 

Translation of Eiichiro Oda's farewell
 
 

Maybe -beyond try to do american marketing style move-  it's the reason they chosen to use the young black guy of trailers as default avatar option 🤔
 
To be completely honest while i woul have got zero problems with Luke being black, these designs were kinda weak compared to some others
But may have influenced a bit SF6 Sean look, even if could be coincidence as got similar hairstyle in SFV too

 
Btw if they wanted new black american fighter wish they gave a chance to King Cobra, imho one of coolest dropped SF concepts ever

 
Too bad they straight murdered him, Jamie literally took the whole idea of Kung fu+breakdance wich was his fighting style
 
About Luke concepts my fav was the second line, central position trio with different hair colors, brown hair version on the right in particular
But since i give high priority to the "martial art rep" thing i'm also glad that final design got an attention for MMA that basically all concepts seems to mostly ignore in favor of "young army guy" theme
 
But probably if they sticked to normal proportions without giant forearms (most concepts don't have that trait) MAYBE we would have got actual cool/technical MMA guy rather than 90% being about him punching hard

Lol!  Literally Popeye on the bottom left.

I gave it a try, works surprising well ingame, had easier time find the right moveset than when i'm working on more "SF style" characters 😁
 
Added shit to the vanilla helmet to make it bit closer to MMX wich had proportions bit more SF like

Considering how Mega Man is popular thought to post it here too

Capcom_AWT posted never before seen concepts of Akira for her birthday. These were drawn by SHOEI.
 

 
 

About that...

Copied and pasted from another forum. A dataminer named Shang discovered something in regards to the location of the "Ruined Lab" stage, and it's not what you think. 
 

Has anyone posted this yet?
 
 

I think Falke is still redeemable. Especially seeing how well Ed turned out in SF6. 
 
The robot girl sucks. Keep that crap in Tekken.
 
I like the hawaian girl and am fine with a fat chick, but her design is a bit too simple. Needs a bit more flair to make it memorable.

The gorilla guy is surely making a playable appearance in the future. He's getting name dropped a lot in Ed's win quotes.
 
Also, Psycho Power black baby? Did Barlog and Falke do the dirty? haha

Ed's redesgined Neo-Shadaloo uniform looks much better too.

yeah and baby male
 
  
That's cool
 
Still think would be awesome if Necro and Effie will join them (despite not being ex Shadaloos they still have perfect background for that), but "E" is taken by Ed lol

Nakayama had made a comment to a fan a few years ago regarding him wanting Ed to have  a group of friends. He hinted that the naming convention of the friends would follow some sort of Alphabet pattern. 
 
 
The first Neo Shadaloo members were the first in the Alphabet series, and now we have the rest.  (The Dolphin Amrita is “A” and Goliath is “G”)
 

One giant teeth above and one below, SF4 style 😆

Rewatching some of Uma's matches, since I've been missing them due to the late hour and I must say the spaced out Drive Reversal bait is such an awesome technique. Literally no one had any response to it and is probably the one plus that gave him an edge against his opponents. Just amazing.
 
I have no doubt it's going to become a staple of SF6 moving forward, cause I can't imagine anyone watching his matches not wanting it in their arsenal. At least if other characters can pull it off as consistently well as Juri, cause that's probably going to be a big limiting factor.
