CESTUS III

I may be too pessimistic but i doubt we're getting big stuff... i think we're just getting new shop stuff, be it regular or collaboration one Wich is still fine to me after the disappointment i got from FP lol

Mask is indeed best piece, will use it to improve my D.Dark, too bad order is NOT one we see in the poster, mask is Lv.19 reward 2nd items is nice too, lucky will unlock at least that today But clothes are the crap

Absolute wasted opportunity of get another good FP More clown ultra modern stuff, straight crap Guess will find an use for it somehow, but still a shame considering last 2 FP were pretty cool, specially the FF one Considering the theme they could have gone for SF2 themed stuff, instead we get esportz vibes crap

Look i don't even disagree completely lol I pick Dudley or Rog over Ed any day as boxing rep (specially considering Ed is far from pure boxing char)... for what's worth Dudley still is in my ideal S2 But i'm not going to complain about Ed bringing some uniqueness to SF6 when in very same poor S1 one slot out four is wasted to bring back Akuma because fanbase pretend to get the third ansatsuken shoto as soon as possible (and some were even outraged he did'nt made base cast lmao) Would have LOVED get Dudley instead Ed, but even more would have used that devil-shoto slot for something else that help actual cast variety Again, SF fans keep SF alive but are also a problem, i'm glad whole S1 was'nt designed to blowjob the bad taste majority lol

More like SF fans are first SF problem lol SF6 would really need third ansatsuken shoto in S1 made of only 4 chars if was'nt for fans bad taste? Ed at least is unique and bring some boxing in, my most welcome S1 addition followed by Rashid

i think SNK should have developed Silber-Takuma rivalry... maybe even Silber fucking up Takuma (and i say it even if he's one of my fav SNK chars), giving Ryo a reason to revenge 😁

Also that Silber guy

With bear fur he give me Zodd vibes lol

Fuck Akuma, give me Ed teaser trailer! 🤬 (thanks @Dragonfave723😄) Amen dude

Last year gift 😁 Did'nt knew some of these

Ahah i got sucked into Fall Guys level editor I'm at 80% done of an EPIC Santa themed one, but of course i took too long and will be ready just when will be no more needed 🤣 And of course this because i was busy completing a Dracula one that was too late to sneak into Halloween window, but wanted to complete it anyway 🤣🤣🤣 If was still student or in an uneployed period would have killed that shit like back in LBP days, but with full job, couple life, upcoming new home shit to follow and SF6 editor have huge priority FG never had a real chance, but still managed to suck some hours of sleep lol Btw last update of 2023 (i'll be 3 days on alps for NYE) is kinda on boring technical side, but guess better than nothing lol Bit of face rework on already existing ones using new tricks and gimmicks (click for full size)

Oh i understand that, i agree to some extent too... for only 4 chars S1 should have been scheduled to end much earlier I don't know for you, but for me it's been even worse by the fact out of only 4 chars i care like about two (Ed and Rashid) and i feel there are chars essential to make SF6 feel complete, so my first wish is S1 t end asap and pray S2 will bring more useful chars (and possibly more, 5-6) But i made peace with the long wait the day they crushed my hopes of get Ed around 2023 xmas when they said "Ed winter 2024"... i don't even want to hope for January, i think if we was going to get him in Jan we would have got at least a teaser trailer, but we got fucking nothing beside the artwork I suspect they also know it's a crap long pause, and that's the reason they keept the 3rd outfits ace to play in middle of dead time Guess looking for hint we could go to watch how much before launch AKI trailer was shown, don't remember that Well at least at end of the wait i'll get a char i actually like, will play and will steal stuff from, a new stage and i guess decent size WTM update By comparision AKI has been abslute death to me... wait for a char i don't need, get it, much more months of nothing lol Akuma will be similar hype killer to me, but guess a least will get new stage My most optimistic wish about Akuma launch is literally we getting announcement/teaser of S2 characters lmao... and keep in mind first S2 char is going to launch in Summer 2024 🥲

Yeah i'm not denying that, just saying hope beyond picking one of the 99 suggested routes to make DC useful balance patch will give him new fun stuff too... SFV long list of small buffs made Ryu progressively more fun to play, hope same happen here

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2023/dec/25/vesperarcade-wishes-sf6-ryu-buffs/ Everybody talking about more functional Denjin charge, my scrub ass just want fun stuff lol Give me back Solar Plexus Strike that can combo as ever did Make Shoryuken get flashy electric shit while on Denjin Also miss how cool was SFV target combo 🥲 Never happening because would be extra work but would be hype if current desperate Lv3 (electric version) is just Lv3 boosted while on Denjin, then actual desperate Lv3 get different animation... think first left uppercut just the same, then pierce the fucker mid-air with the giant ass punch he did in SFV on Necalli 😆 Retarded shit would make me happy even sitting low/mid tier lol

I like to imagine it like Ken Ryu

Glad for you dude 👍 Personally i'm not even super hyped on play as him (but looking forward to steal lot moves for my editor creations 😁), but i believe he may be massive update in terms of story expansion, new contents, npcs etc Wonder wich would be 2nd alt, i guess SFV default uniform is safest bet, considering it was supposed to reflect a time after SFV events (or at least months after Ed's SFV story where he split with Rog and left Shadaloo) ???

From now to ends of times this should replace standard Luke for 24h every 25th December

Merry xmas you all Trying to the thread, i can't be the only one hyped for Ed both as character, world expansion and story push I think lore wise it's going to be the most important addition of whole S1 Hope they will not play cheap on Neo Shadaloo freaks, potentially they can be awesome/crazy stuff

Merry Xmas SRK 🎅

Lol this surprised me

Thanks dude, let's see if when i will do the YT thing (IF i will do it lol😅) people will appreciate Now i'm mostly fixing my previous character-recreations, now that im getting sharper technique and learning gimmicks very early works feel clunky You did something new too?

@Darc_Requiem End up update my Demitri, previously i did the full-red eyes version that can be seen in some artworks but in many others he got just pupil/iris red, so i gave a chance to that version and i saved it as i find it much more expressive Made his face much sharper too (and different skin color), like in some artworks (click for full size) Than i also worked on give my Morrigan model a costume too... i've end up dodge try to impossibly replicate her typical costume and also dodged the super simple casual clothes human transformations, just went with a design that have some links with her traditional palette Keept her eyes color as in very first incarnations, love it feels more unique than the green of more recent interpretations. Overall i love her look, will probably update her costume with better clothes through time, but love the model give me the right vibes (click for full size) I also completed my Batsu as much i could do with current avaible options... will have to give him typical blue japanese school uniform as soon we get one But overall i think i nailed the physical look, has been interesting try to translate it to more realistic look without lose the anime RS feels Make the armor under the jacket has been tricky af lol (click for full size)

Thing is with various flavors/shades Capcom seems to fucking love the "broken toy" concept when it comes to create a female villain Juri, AKI, Decapre (and of course all brainwashed dolls) and even SFV Seth Kolin is gray area, as i believe she have faith she's doing the right thing serving an archangel incarnate to bring peace... but at same time she have brutal fight style wich involve generate ice blades and spikes that can cut or IMPALE her opponent, just like she have no problems get involved in shady deals to get job done (example hire Juri) Still, another broken toy, years of war ptsd and see her homeland destroyed by soldiers made her what she is Maybe Falke too if we consider she accepts to be part of Neo Shadaloo, but beside we still don't know NS official ideals (wich may not be negative at least on paper) we also seen she does'nt seem a bad person... and even if she does anything wrong, war made her what she is Seems they have the greatest difficulty to just deliver a female char who's just evil piece of shit moved by ambition or greed (like many male SF chars), all SF girls are either good or men somehow broke their lives into become negative chars AKI herself while behaving as satisfied person with fullfilled life is living 24/7 some sort of delusional psychedelic farce Got traumatic shitlife past, got involved into become a batshit crazy murderer and suffer physical mutation as part of her training, her father/lover figure (in a creepy way took straight from Leon-Mathilda) is an asexual creepy older killer who melts people with toxins in his body and lick his fingers afterwards All broken toys 😆 For a change could have felt new a female villain that does'nt need justification for any wrong shit she does I remember at some point waiting SF6 i thought would have been fun if Marisa was just hired muscle/bodyguard for JP, think like Sagat for Bison

Yeah was think more Haggar as i remember there was a pretty cool alpha style mugen sprite for him alredy done - - so i thought would be pretty easy just pick it up But yeah Poison and Abigail can make sense too, scale wise Abigail on Alpha style would feel lot like Juggernaut lol
