CESTUS III

Tbh i think if they bother update the stats again from SFV i think new Ryu is going to be listed even heavier Maybe they will not touch the 90 that psychologically will be perceived as him being big/slow dude instead the "balanced fighter" he's supposed to be... even if we are already used from SFV to see him as a static stocky motherfucker that strike like a truck Would say they may go like 87/88 just to show got bit bulkier I disagree with multiple things going on with current Ryu design, including mass choice (and even more than that, the wide af facial structure) But playing devil's advocate that seem the direction if we watch the Ansatsuken masters we can see right above him: Akuma is way bulkier than Ryu and Gouken is a fucking huge bearded boar Guess if we go back to the river's source Hokuto no Ken used lot mass to express power More than brute seems to me they're removing youthful/hero imagery from him and trying to lock him into some middle age Master side-role, wich i'm not sure it's good idea Whole meaning of the teaser is show Ryu is the old gen On positive side if the theme will be build a cast that play on contrast between old guard and new blood in theory would be cool... basically the innovation spirit of SF3 but without the shitty antagonization of the past Problem is i don't trust them to design new great characters, specially if they have to stick to this new style and with head likely filled of western bullshit

People making fun of the logo is last of my concern tbh True problem is that it break a stylistical continuity that SF logos had for decades, make guess what else they sacrified to look new/modern and please that imaginary ignorant western consumer that seem to obsess their minds

Now may not make sense anymore, but i still think things were being told differently in Gill/Urien case Not saying big picture would have changed, but could have been different perspective of same story... specially because the whole Alex-Gill part felt like capcom bullshitted us back to SF3 lol Well whatever, guess they can still do it with a flashback in 6 if they want But i fear they just want ignore 3 story and move on For what we know he may have interrupted it for whatever reason, i doubt Capcom will have left him be Oro's disciple for 15 years Either he learned fast af because he's the "special one" or events need him now, so he interrupted it mid-run Or as you say they simply ignore that 15 years line and make that he trained long enough lol

Guess who complained back then and who don't like it now are two different "we" lol Did'nt liked it in SFV, but i was ok with it as it was an alt Hated see whole american hype about it because i knew capcom will have took notes, i was 99% sure i will have got that shit in 6 Prefer current beard than SFV one though, but would still prefer current design (wich is perfect) but no beard No much problem btw as of course classic look will be there as alt

This Thanks gods i may add If crap looked like MK i would have left lmao doubt there will be much story retcon for it, i take it as capcom simply aknowledged everybody found these tattoo retard af so they removed them

@Scotiagot to give you credit, you were probably right about timeline jumping beyond SF3... lol never thought they would just threat SF3 arc like that,leaving all that events in a box with 23years of dust over it 🤣 Guess what we see is post-Oro-training Ryu 😯 We already know that "shadow" will be a thing, is called Ed While at it wish they can retcon it as he want to be called Edward, as if he want change his usual name (wich would fit a switch of personality)... no fucking Evil Boss Villain can be called "Ed" damn it lol Btw combining time-skip with Ed's unnatural fast growth dude may be already fully adult, even if they may stop at physical peak like 25yo

idk so far only 3 things that gave me vomit are -Luke frame when he smile giving me "realistic expression" DMC5 nightmares, but lucky rest still give me heavy stylized impression -Logo being absolute crap -Music/announcer, but guess that's supposed to roll with Luke as protagonist Well, guess we may hope to see something more of SF6 when they will announce/show it Iirc SF4 reveal was like that, non ingame teaser and then we got a super early build Ryu vs Ken vid

Btw they said anything about march SFV patch?

Lol joke or not good thought Tbh if SF6 love his number gimmick as V did i will not be surprised see exagon be signature gimmick of this one Maybe the action taking place still in 2D style but developed on 3 crossed lines and you switch from one to next one left or right with one single wide side-step Lol who knows

Hoped we got more but whatever, now that shit started we will see more in future Hard to tell what ingame art style will be like, if we can use this teaser as indication impression is more realistic than clayfighterV but thankfully still heavy stylized, no "they're real people now" bullshit that scared me after DMC5 Ryu new design is simple but awesome, too bad for the beard but guess was inevitable after internet wierdos made a cult about that Ryu alt costume. Will have classic look as alt, so no problem here Luke new design looks simple but decent. MMA SFV one was good too, had very "fighter" vibe to it, hope it return too Glad they seem to remember his base hair colour is brown, the everybody is fluo banana yellow blond nightmare may be over still have them, muscle proportions seem simply bit less extreme than SFV, but still have huge forearms i've zero problem with MMA vibes, if anything if may mean there will be an actual tournament and more focus on martial arts clashing and less scifi GiJoe, i welcome it lol Hope fight in exotic crazy locations stay a thing and oct.. exagon is more part of Luke's imagery, doubt SF6 stages will be bunch of ufc arenas

Well, if they go like they did with SFV , gameplay of two characters may be very well what we get I will be ok with it honestly, it will give a taste of art style, action flow and maybe even new mechanics wich would be already lot to speculate on lol Ironically some of the stuff Ryu got in SFV first vid did'nt even made it to the actual game lol

Will drop at 6am here (Italy) lol Personally i like if they planned it on hour that make sense for japan, because mean they still did'nt sold SF6 ass to the west lol The day SF will looks like an american game i will be out Lmao huge line so close to launch trailer 🤣

Tbh i'm still glad things are like that, because if you want go to the other extreme, see how Capcom behave when they don't trust a brand to attract people I want them to keep invest huge on SF If SFV was a big fail i doubt their reaction will have been "so we will do a much greater SF6!" SFV needed Sony money to begin with lol I understand what you say, but other direction was much worse if you want change just be happy new people are in charge

hope it stay like that for next 30 years lol 🤣

Are'nt tweets, just pics already online Seems in this forum if you copy image's link it get automatically transformed into an image

I admit they got me when Sodom was in the ring in the CPT FF stage, as presence felt very much like Alex being in the american one before be playable The fun thing is i think SFV V-system was perfect for him, they could have done so many gimmicks with his weapons (or armor) But i think it's clear they purposely hold back on some returns (be from very old games or even just SF4) to have still some left in SF6 If SF6 is anything like SFV at handle it, guess we will see long missing returns like Sodom or Eagle (and maybe Haggar?), plus popular ones from 3 and 4 missing in V

Random af, Poison and Alex 😄

Random af, Poison and Alex 😄

Reality is i even doubt legit Capcom Japan bothered confirm it as canon explanation (specially considering they still use "Vega" for him), seems classic Capcom USA bullshit with japs being like "well yeah whatever do as you want"bizzarre passive shit of SF2 days lol But i would be honest, the M thing itself does'nt bother me much, idk how is around the world but here "M." before name as abbreviation for Maestro (Master) is kinda common for martial arts context At that point is more strange they sticked with the whole name at all, considering we don't know shit about Bison's nationality (and i think they already changed mind about it LOL) but an english-speaking one seem unlikely Keeping with that kind of strange shit Ken Masters have no fucking reason to have "Masters" english surname considering he's born/raised in Japan and his father is 100% jap 🤣 Guess is one more "gift" by SF american team lol

Considering they're greek (or anyway somewhere in mediterranean area) the tan as original skin colour could have been good base for both brothers But apparently -at least in the picture we got- Gill used to be much more pale... but tbh it can work given they dropped also a book on his hand may be nice way to show probably Urien was much more active kid passing lot time outside under the sun, while Gill was more a scholar type of kid I can buy it, after all as italian in winter i'm just as pale as Gill in this pic and in summer i'm darker than Urien color there... mediterranean skin is just like that lol

"Master" Bison

now it is

See, it's tastes Personally as much i had fun playing SF3, i consider it's art style the highest peak of entire series and i liked most of newcomers, can't shake the feel cast was small and as visual variety cheap inflated by sprite recycle Cast wise i think USF4 may be the cast that gone overall closest to my taste (even if i hated some SF4 picks and loved some SFV ones)

Tbh i just hope he stay dead regardless what potential he can have for her, SF already have too soft relationship with death Want villains to be a credible threat, and SF already been weak many times at that tbh

Yeah some stances are just opposite despite product being the same, guess it's inevitable speaking about something that cater to very different audiences Easy example that come to mind is cast size If you ask me that just love SF character designs, want to see as many martial arts/nations represented, as much variety as possible and on general have like 5-6 "main" (lol) while playing bit on the side also everybody else... giant cast is best If you ask pro/serious competitive player who's going to study frams matchups and shit, he wish cast stop grow as soon he have his old main in the pocket lol I dream a SF with 100 char he dream one with 10, guess we should be both happy we get middle way lol 😄
