CESTUS III

Tomorrow is last day of current Fighting Pass, guess in few days we will get some sort of announcement on new one Considering will be the "Akuma is coming" one, guess we may get gameplay trailer too

Lol random af but just crossed online shit i did years ago 😁 As new special i take my hado-powered body shot over shit hashogeki, but maybe mirrored (opposite arm, front side toward camera) to don't overlap with SPS look Actually right SPS -> left hado body shot combo would have looked good, fuck up these ribcages kyokushin style lol Or maybe not, but i just hate hashogeki look lmao Maybe would have liked made with open palm but one-hand, to kill the resemblance with hadoken and to show he's reaching Gouken's level at that hadoshit For the lulz other two i did before get bored (of course i started is as "will do it for EVERYBODY" then was already bored at third one lol) Iirc next was Chun Li but killed it mid run lol

That's awesome If you have way to contact him only advice i can offer to improve already great work is maybe to reconsider whole characters sizes Dudley was definitely too small (watch him next to Ryu), Abel may be slighty too big... even if in latter case it's not by that much margin But tbh that's something could be said to SFV Capcom itself too, like Necalli being too small or Alex being too big or Abigail being nonsense Even SF6 have some problems, maybe not with heights but with proportions for sure I will never be against Abel's return, dude is SF Fedor and Fedor is legend But yeah with Manon in is it's not happening lol

Would love get all them, of these probably Menat is the one with highest chances Really want also Sagat(or Adon) even before them to rep Muay Thai, also would welcome Fei Long, Laura, Hugo, Cody and Kolin too Yeah they could re-imagine it in whatever way Maybe as Level 2 Super (where lot have an install) that make her gradually recover health little by little up to let's say 33% and can be stopped successfully hitting her... still powerful help but not as dominant as SF4 Also nostalgia alt Elena in new engine

That's awesome, incredible fan job

I know fans and marketing loves the idea of Ryu x Chun Li, but if we speak SF canon if he's doing anything on that side my money is still on him throwing dick-shin-shoryukens in Sakura Actually would not be surprised if Chun made him buy that jacket to go to a date with Sakura, considering the jacket got cherry blossom (sakura) decoration It's fun how others look up to Ryu to solve big things like uppercut the villain, yet his friends take care of him for normal life things... Ken handling his money, Chun giving suggestion on how to dress etc This post end up underrated, bring new perspective if end up ingame

Street Fighter EX 6 development going well 😁 Warning BIG pic click bunch of times for true size

What i like of final AKI is the freak factor she bring in, at that it's true final ingame look step up it compared to concepts Lost my account few weeks before the char i was waiting got released 😭

Tbh i'm ok with AKI final look too I just pointed out she's a very rare case where imho there was better options in dropped sketches, as usually i agree with capcom pick on best route for final ingame design Only others i can think are Guile (imho his standard SF6 design is weak, imho they was getting better ideas through concept phase) and Ryu, but tbh there it's just me hating the fucking beard (too bad i'm not on pc so can't mod that shit off* ), this would have been my fav Ryu design ever lol yeah yeah i know everybody else (apparently capcom designers less, but marketing rule) love the beard though lol I'm not sure i'm sold on Akuma's change from original concept to final overall new color scheme contrast better and definitely works better, yet feel lost bit of identity (sure, we could link it to classic "Shin Akuma" look though) For sure i prefer smaller beard of first one, affect the classic look less and let eye focus more on hair, in second one the santa beard take lot of spotlight Must admit it help A LOT show visually he took seriously hermit shit, second design achieve sell perfectly how far from society/civilization he gone (will be fun see him text with smartphone lol) I liked more also original Lily, but i know i'm on huge minority here too * there has been also a mod on nostalgia one too, beard there looks barely visible yet modded version without it does wonders make it waaay cooler/closer to Ryu's classic artworks look

Yeah that's my fav too 😁 Only thing i'm not sold is color scheme, would have prefered something like this to be the standard palette

Click for full size Some bullets dodged, some missed opportunities - AKI had some designs better than one we end up, i really like the very FANGesque 4th but even more the red 5th - Rashid end up more or less same level - Ed ultimately got much better designs ingame, i take both the Standard and Alt ones over anything i see there - Akuma ones are terrible, but i like the 4th as artwork

As Saturn boy in late 90s remember "yeah, but 2D games are better on our console" was essentially our life mantra

I'm sure you'rfar from alone at that, and it's a fucking shame to me lol 😄 I think there's a majority who's even hating avatar stuff, and tbh i blame it mostly on Capcom in many ways but specially for creating the false perception character creation is getting all the goods, while on reality their way to handle is absolutely shit poor too, just not as poor as how they're shameless ignoring main cast dlc stuff (wich bother me too as does to anybody else) Wich is a shame as the ability to "create SF characters" for me that i'm both SF fan and design guy is a dream, too bad capcom's mediocrity and greed is making it maybe 50% at best of what could have been Personally i'm still LOVING it because allow me to see/use ingame characters that otherwise Capcom will not add (or maybe some will but years from today), be them former SFers or even muh SFEX crew, or rejected SF concepts etc Basically will try to use it as i did with SC6 character creation, there i got close to SC version of your "everybody is here!" utopia 😄 https://8wayrun.com/threads/teh-gatsus-sc-universe-temple-post-quarantine-edition.21104/ Too bad as i said before SF6 went half ass with character creation too, so while i enjoy my stuff we can't use them as characters as was for SC, but it's indeed mostly threated by capcom as silly "avatar stuff" as you say I find it kinda sad and wasted opportunity, because if i think at CC of SF6 the one that come to my mind is highly detailed stuff in my copy of the game, while community perception of it is

Yeah as FP kinda weak (including arcade game pick), "Akuma is coming" next one will for sure bring more useful traditional fighter pieces Would say with the exception of Final Fight FP wich has been the best, so far the "XXXX is coming" FPs have been the easily the most intersting Some MH weapns in the shop are useful and relatively low price though, bought for 1000DT a blade for my D.Dark 😁

One month from now we get "Akuma is coming" Fighting Pass, Akuma for sure at some point in May... wonder when we get first "character introduction" vid, maybe 2-3 weeks? Btw i just hope with Akuma launch we get Season 2 characters revealed, considering they should start around July/August

"Akuma is coming" likely the next one

Yeah, would like one I'm not sure about Gen successor though... would have LOVED see their male concept to evolve into SF6 as some sort of capcom Gato, but i fear that got eat by Jamie and i'm not much interested into get this Sodom is one would be fun re-imagined as stance character imho One stance you have him using jitte Other stance you have him use katanas or bokken/shinai if blade is "problematic" One i don't want is Zeku... i like the dude, but fear would further cripple chances of get 6 char season lol Doubt will become playable (and for bunch of reasons i hope not), but Dobermann by concept/canon pov is absolutely a stance character lol Beside Stance char, i would really want see the "Giant char" return Be it Hugo or somebody new I like the idea of Zangief being the muscle wrestling dude, but also have in the cast somebody that dwarf him, somebody that make of his own giant frame/mass/height their main tool to fight...

That can be decent attempt to a bit the thread lol We ever stick to names we want see return, but rarely on what unique and still missing they bring to the table

I would be ok with Sodom join at some point, but i don't count him and Hugo on same "category" even if they have grappler thing in common To me distinctive trait of Hugo is that fit giant chararacter archetype, see one dwarf all big characters like he did in SF4 felt truly was different addition to the cast and was hype 😁 him or new character (but please no Abigail lol) i would like to see that in SF6 Btw i think we should expect at least one big grappler in S2, considering we got none in S1

Voted Mega Man 11 betting on recency bias + being decent game 😁 Got 1000 drive tickets, not sure if was top3 reward thing or if everybody who voted got it

Also this is true Shit, Akuma is one of the very very least characters i want to see added to SF6 (maybe Akuma-Sakura-Decapre is my podium) and still have to admit i'm at least curious to see what they do with him. Probably the thirst of a fucking 4chars Season make me curious about whatever news as long we get one, but still It's cool because if characters announced are shit still you have something to look forward to, if are good you're twice as hyped

Well, i would personally prefer a S2 that goes back to good old 4M2F SFV format, as there's way bigger number of missing male fighters i wish to see return than female ones But tbh a 3M3F season(like in the fake leak) in SF6 would not shock me if we consider how female heavy has been their work on new characters Start cast SF4 had 4 new characters, 3 males (+1 "male" boss) and 1 female Start cast SFV had too 4 new characters, 3 males and 1 female Start cast SF6 had 7 new characters, 3 males and 4 females. And when they had chance to go 4-4 in S1 they instead went 3M 5F adding AKI Now, new chars are just a portion of upcoming characters (a tiny one in S1 case), but still show new devs seems willing to break old ratio patterns Again, hope S2 will be 4M2F (wich would be 6 chars wich is itself good news), but would not be surprised much by a 3-3 I think what truly gave fuel to the leak (i was open to believe it) is that the news came claiming was same guy who did first SF6 leak, i've learned the fact it was a different account only when the original guy said it was'nt him

I was'nt a fan of it beside Elena and being 6 chars, but had realistic elements tbh To begin with most of names appeared on graffiti wall Fake leak: Sakura - Bison -Vega - Mika - Elena - NewDude Graffiti wall: Basically just added Elena instead Ibuki (wich was only name "in doubt" on the wall) and new male wich would make sense considering new chars ratio currently is 3 males vs 5 females Would not have been "elegant" selection in my eyes, with some chars that could/should have waited at least 1 more season or more (to give space to other that would help cast variety), but S1 dropping Akuma already shows capcom give no fucks about finesse and just want sell... and just like Akuma sells (sadly lol) i've to admit a combo Sakura+Bison would have sold lot too, even if personally would not want them as soon as S2 (they would miss S3 too if was for me lol) Wich force me to admit that since i'm first to bitch about S1 being only 4 chars, i have to hope IF S2 ever end being sweet 6 chars model like in the leak it MUST sell lot if i want S3 to be 6 chars too I just wish selection will be done with some class, not just money in mind (and to be fair S1 best char to me has been Ed becoming much more boxing based and Rashid, wich were kinda controversial picks by Capcom, so must concede them that) Coincidence just written in the other thread my ideal S2, bit modified with "MUST sell" mindset, just copy-paste Sagat - Fei Long - Makoto - Hugo - Menat - Cody This would be cool list imho, covering 3 chars in the top10 popularity list still not in (Makoto#2, Cody#5 and Sagat #7) plus Menat that back to the poll days was'nt even a thing but is popular, yet at same time are basically ALL chars i would really love see in SF6 Hugo was my "unpopular" pick (we need a giant in SF6) lol, but others would carry him well imho Would slighty prefer Adon over Sagat as Muay Thai rep probably, but Sagat is more popular and we already had hint for him in SF6 Had to sacrify (just delay on reality) Elena and Dudley that i like more than some there, but i would surely add them in my ideal S3 lol Problem is my list does'nt leave room for 1 (or 2?) new characters, and we don't know Capcom plans about that SFV has been very unpredictable under that pov, beside the fact they will likely save what are considered big names to carry seasons with new chars or unpopular picks We already saw this in SF6 S1, as much i dislike see Akuma in S1 have to admit marketing wise he does the heavy lifting on a season that took some risk with other 3 chars
