CESTUS III

"Trendy" it's like a sub-category in the game, you have bunch of characters variants having it While at it some variants are awesome, would make cool alts for SF6 Would buy these

Hopefully S2 will be more than 4 char, 4 chars in a whole year is big bullshit for SF Ideally at least 6, give me Sagat/Adon for Muay Thai Dudley or Rog (better if Dudley) for pure Boxing Elena Fei Long Laura Hugo That's would be an awesome S2 variety wise, too bad the inevitable marketing picks would ruin it in some way lol

Not much mental gimmicks, literally Sakura whole chara design core began as "it's Ryu, but schoolgirl!" lmao Not even lore wise made sense back then, up to Sakura inclusion whole theme was all about strongest fighters of the world, that had years of training, special powers and shit making them worthy to step in and scrap Ryu himself was'nt some magical anime prodigy either, was literally raised his whole life and trained by one of best Masters of whole SF world Sakura was introduced in SFA as a 15yo schoolgirl who self-trained some months because she saw Ryu lol Rashid was SF5 hero in some way, he's still the one that saved the day by guessing right the code to stop the machines, even Capcom aknowledge him as new hero (what cracked me up more is that they gave that recognization to Abel too... i like a lot the char, but he did fucking nothing in SF4 lol) But is also true Rashid did'nt got Alex treatment, at some point guy got pushed aside to let high level people take care of shit (and there Nash got robbed to give us another Ryu moment lol) Luke is going bit same route, letting OGs reaching the final stage... pretty much hinted KEN is the one who's going to fuck up JP in definitive way, my bet is Luke will get the role of knock psycho power madness out of Ed's skull Even in his W quotes with JP an Ken, they push hard Luke to say Ken is the one who deserve to fuck up the villain 😄 to JP "As much as I want to give you a piece of my mind, I'm not the guy who's got a score to settle." to Ken "Gimme all the details once you settle the score. Till then, I'll be waitin', Champ."

Yeah but to be fair different eras Alex had more charisma on screen and better chara design than Luke, without need much smart lines and stuff He was just supposed to be anime new badass guy who take the role of beat up the Boss, at that he delivered back then Said that i love the work they did on Luke in SF6 (voice guy in particular, but not only), the way they turned mostly hated char in generally accepted one has been quite surprising... even if tbh i don't think the char gone through much transformation character wise, felt like he's very same guy but somehow less hated by internet people lol To be honest did'nt had problems with Luke not even before, thought from japanese/anime perspective young cocky american MMA fighter made perfect sense for SF as new stereotype to add to SF collection, so to me was good addition Only thing i would have prefered is since he's MMA rep should have been much more striking/grappling hybrid, but guess that's part of heavy characterization they did on him... as forearms hint in his chara design 90% of dude's training is see how many heavy bags he can destroy with power punches in a day lol Reading maybe too much in chara design guess all the obsessive heavy bag gimmick at very begin is started as way to vent all his rage/pain for father's death, if that's the case it would be actually pretty cool

Did'nt said Ryu or white guy should be main in next 17 games And Ryu will likely get stuck into trash sidestory where he needs to fight Akuma, because we will never get rid of Akuma because he sells (sadly) Just laughed at idea Sakura should be main SF char, fucking parody character lol

To be fair is'nt first time SF get a non-jap main 😁 And tbh if story progress as i expect it to, Ken is going to steal Luke's spotlight story wise (Ken will get his revenge on JP, maybe Luke will work as sidekick and throw hands with Ed), just like in SFV Rashid was the "Hero" but then Ryu stepped in and handled the final Boss shit Well, there the most robbed was poor Nash but this is another story lol

That night Chun did lot of things that people remember three decades later 😁

yeah and i also hope she keep being as she's right now, lore NPC without slot lol

Don't give them ideas

That's cool thanks Make me hope we will get as many anime collab as possible, we will get lot of cool new hair options Would be great if they start do it on their Fighting Pass too... like they make a Strider themed month, they add the Strider haircut

Now that i think about it i had no idea Decapre had scar till SF4, in SFA3 i simply thought they were playing the "masked twin/clone" anime gimmick while hair suggested under the mask she had same face as Cammy While at it wonder if for Vega has been beating he got from Geki* to made him start wear a mask... i mean, we know concept wise Vega is born as masked fighter (as for the definitive design they copied a masked HnK char), but wonder if when when they wrote that piece involving Geki they had in mind that *that one piss me off lol

New tech?

Yeah are pretty easy to not see because are so much hidden by hairs, even online had hard time find pic beside this thumbnail 😁 For the hair i think you picked best you could with current selection we have👍 Maybe beards have something to help you create the illusion of expand the hairstyle near the ear, or maybe even scars

You have to give them credit they have been quite honest on icon choice 😆

That's pretty cool job, love the hair covering eyes almost sells it alone, also looks nice with necklace 👍 You should still have 2 items slots, if you want add detail to head area, you can give her silver earrings, i'm sure would work nice (if you don't have them, can be bought in Metro City square shop)

Random as fuck but since @Darc_Requiemmade the avatar thread, i stopped post CaC stuff in other threads (beside Badass Santa lol), so there's some new stuff i did Enjoy it hate it, i can appreciate both 😆 (click on pics for full size) Demitri (2 versions) Morrigan Baby Head (Captain Commando) Paul Phoenix (waiting for better hair) Batsu (Rival Schools) Bunch of faces getting fixed

SFV had collabs with Arika and still no non-Capcom guest in SFV Beside that speak for yourself lol, i found Spy update cool and basically free (costed me 500DT x 2, and we get a 500DT challenge every week iirc), hope to get much more like that rather the scam that has been TMNT one Reality is has been probably the best quality/price collab so far Yeah, we got years and years of SFV where part of FGC was mad at aesthetic stuff as if it was money "stolen" from balancement and shit (that's not how works, ironically hated aesthetic dlcs were making money for that development/balancement stuff lol), SF6 version is that WTM is getting too much aesthetic stuff and main cast not enough aesthetic stuff*😁 *reality is i wish we got more stages main cast costumes too lol... but not at WTM expense wich is still criminally crippled by Capcom itself. People hating on creation mode would say it's getting too much, ask anybody who actually spent time on the editor and will tell you the current selection of items is incredibly poor and LOT LOT of already ingame stuff (what WTM NPCs wear basically) is simply locked for no better reason than Capcom holding back it to release little drops through months/years lol 🥲 If was so competitive gameplay focused as some are, i think i would be more mad at bizzarre cast balancement that will stay like that till summer 2024 with the start of S2. Maybe i would like to get a mid-year balancement patch, even just a softer one compared to the actual big New Season yearly one

The 2 new haircuts are pretty cool quality wise, can anybody confirm even who did'nt unlocked the costumes still got the haircuts? I unlocked both costumes because at 500DT each they were very cheap (considering also we just got a 0 effort 500DT mission) This would be great because maybe in future we would get more collaborations were i don't give fucks about the costumes but i will still get new haircuts/body options even not buying anything @Darc_Requiem?

Cool we get 2 new haircuts, first time they add some This give me hope

Yeah my reasoning was that unlike Enero, Marz and Aprile who had alternative talents to simple combat, Decapre role was pretty much being a weapon So i guess her being an hardworking DR member mean she have indeed similar role to Cammy's... espionage stuff (being an assassin she know how sneak into places) and occasionally fuck up/neutralize enemies Speaking of DR i'm the only pissed that we did'nt got to meet them in Cammy's UK place? Would have been cool see Wolfman and others, hope at least with Ed we will see Falke, Knife and gorilla

Cover scars often is not done by people that fear other people making fun of them, but by people that are not comfortable with themselves specially if there's traumatic past involved I know irl a person who got very bad burns due cooking incident and when possible she would pick clothes that help her cover everything even if nobody would "make fun" of her Btw Vega making her wear the mask would be solid choice and even add layers to the moment when Decapre blocked Vega's claw to protect her sister in ASF, it's been confirmed somewhere or is your own theory? Would make sense btw, Vega is the only high Shadaloo member that would have been bothered by her scar I just did bit digging before this post, on reality Decapre still fight, found confirmation she became a Delta Red member (and some details about their relationship) "Have I ever told you about my family? Shadaloo created other genetically engineered soldiers, just like me. An abominable act, to be sure. But no matter the circumstances of their births, they're family to me. One of them, Decapre, is my twin sister. The mission she was entrusted with...was my assassination. Needless to say, we clashed on more than one occasion. We didn't exactly have a sisterly bond. Thankfully, Shadaloo's downfall also shattered her brainwashing. She's now a hardworking member of Delta Red. Sometimes, we even have time to enjoy lunch together. We may be siblings, but we're both complete mysteries to one another. Time flies by whenever we talk. Seeing you has brought Decapre to mind as of late. What should we discuss the next time we meet, I wonder..." That "hardworking" combined with her talents make me think it's action stuff rather than office role 😁 Wonder how much else WTM Master infos i'm forgetting, i was so focused on unlock everything fast that i likely did'nt gave enough attention to many stories, specially of chars i care about less

Yeah, that's probably the truth, but while i did'nt got any doubt for other Dolls, i had the impression Decapre with her giant ass face scar as character concept was designed to keep the broken beyond repair thing going on... like she could even become some sort of "good" character, but still bit traumatized anti-hero thing, like colder/harsher Cammy The art piece made her look absolutely normal girl able to show affection and that does'nt even try to hide her scar (with mask or even just hair) But to be fair we knew it (at least she's not trying to hide the scar anymore and trying to adapt to normal life) even before, my fault i forgot to have seen SF6 Decapre earlier

Little detail, today on SF6 there's a message for Cammy's birthday, wich have an illustration with Juni and Decapre Most curious to me is that Decapre seem an absolutely normal girl now, guess in these years she solved her stuff @Darc_Requiemalso material for a canon-supported Decapre CaC 😁
