CESTUS III

Part that piss me off most, is that while i can understand create unique moves like for Retsu or DamnD (the most simple, who just got 1 unique special) eat resources and i can understand it be limited to boss-like NPCs or cameos of former playable characters... But would take literally zero new contents just use same tool we have to mix moves on NPCs and create at least for "most evolved" NPCs (example all those allowed to enter MC/Nayshall arena tournaments) unique movesets made by mixing different characters moves Like as random example with tool we have i can do a "speedy mexican luchador" type of NPC movest in 1 minute: -Rashid moves -Kimberly run special - Kimberly air to air suplex -Zangief HCB suplex/siberian express I keept it super basic too, not even filling all motion slots like usually do on my own stuff, just to show how quickly and low effort could have been done, and yet would offer the illusion of being it's own character (specially considering they can mix these also with existing NPC-only moves) If we want give it one Super Art just to make it feel bit more legit Lv2 Cammy Would be really THAT easy and would make experience much more fun, but the team seems blind on some stuff And if we expand it to creation they even done the effort to ADD limitations that basic NPC don't have lol Falke would be super easy thanks to JP, they can literally slap his basic moveset (and SA1?) on her and for decent effect just give her unique special where she hold the stick like a rifle and shot psycho shit 😁 Rog may take bit more work, but tbh would be still doable without crazy effort give him justice considering would be just npc cameo... even if personally give him 50/50 chance to sneak into SF6 as main char

@Darc_Requiem Idk if you're on PC, i'm on PS5 and wish i could do this shit lol For my Sagat and Hugo (and some other stuff) wish we got at least 20/30 more points for max height... specially since yesterday fought Azam in the tournaments and got fresh reminder Capcom allow itself to cheat with the editor height lmao And tbh also minimal height is'nt that short I understand why they did, at current max height you still see bizzarre animations (like throws with victim floating 50cm from the ground) or even basic mechanics break (example vs small chars normals whiffing above opponent's head)... but tbh can't give less fucks, avatar battles balancement/legitimacy is zero anyway, let us have creative fun lol 😆

Little discovery i just noticed, with Ed patch seems they expanded the number of fighters they use for Metro City arena tournaments... now you can fight also Azam and some of the fighters that were in the Nayshall tournament quest There's not much to gain, none of them give you rewards you can't already find in WTM, but they help bit add variety to the experience (even if Azam is the only "unique" fighter)

Considering how Mega Man is popular thought to post it here too 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 (click for full size)

Thanks cool info Guess we can consider it's safe assume is NOT the SFV ASF one, as we seen also external area and did'nt looked like Arctic Wich make guess who brought Bison's hat there... We know FANG touched the hat after ASF, as he got the emblem as necklace You know where they found these images? Same group where thy showed short hair Bosch maybe?

damn trailer char is terrible lol

😁 Not sure of title since i have it in italian, but have two most recent side-missions that are "Leader of Neo Shadaloo?" Metro city -> basically no reward Can't find a vid, try check your Metro City map to see if somewhere there's the side-quest mark... if does'nt try switch to night (or day) "Psycho Power experiment" -> Nayshall -> give you shadaloo upper-body uniform

There are 2 side missions in the update, one in MC one in Nayshall, maybe you have to do these if you're missing one Or maybe maximize Ed style and bond? Idk but once you unlock her it's hard to miss, showing dat ass in the middle of the terrace, took a pic

During day-time rise same steps this guy does in first 10 seconds but don't make a left-turn inside the building like he does at 0:11, just keep rise straight up the steps. You will reach a wide terrace with view of the arena On that terrace you should see an NPC dressed like this You can fight her to win kinda easily the helmet The challenge is "defeat without lose health" wich sound hard but it's actually easy as she des'nt have that much life nor she's strong/smart/aggressive... just set your moveset on fireballs shit and shoot her dead from distance Got helmet in my first run, but i've read people say she does'nt ever offer it as reward, so guess may take more than one try

Should post it in Avatar thread, but nobody goes there beside me Darc, but maybe others may like it

i think it will in future, but unlikely before S2 world expansion... after the minimal effort crap that has been AKI/Ed updates, i don't expect anything for Akuma update either Akuma will get stage too, but very possible WTM wise we just end up get him as Master somewhere in Nayshall, maybe in the cave area (but hope i'm wrong, REALLY need him to get merchant that sell that damn karate hand-stripes item)

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

Design wise Ed psycho-dodged lot of bullets lol Tbh i was disappointed too, but at same time story explanation they gave (NS members splitting an keeping search victims to save around the world) make sense and open the door for future development... Ed seems key piece of future of Shadaloo in SF6, so i guess when we will get proper world updates (next in S2 i think) there's chance we may see his story progress and meet his comrades Thanks!🙏 - Amrita (just googled it) seems an hindu female name that mean "immortality"... wonder if may be hint she got that Bison gift - Goliath without google it's a famous giant in the Bible, funny the smallest NS member got name of a giant lol Done also for others: - Cypher link to secret code messages used by spies, so guess in the org he play the spy role wich fit him considering he's slick guy that can fucking teleport lol - Mwalimu in swahili apparently mean teacher/master, wich guess make sense considering his big brain - Dobermann is of course the german dog, wich while don't fit much fat version, may fit a lot the super lean and fast muscular transformation - Falke is german word for hawk - Ed felt strange (i thought Rog wanted something easy/quick to say to call him, skipping his full codename) and while i was wrong is indeed is funny case, according to the wiki "According to Takayuki Nakayama, Ed's name actually comes from the word "ED", a term used in anime production to refer to ending scenes and music.[10] Nakayama referred to him as "The ED Boy" in a note, which was misinterpreted by the designer as being his name. Nakayama liked the name, and kept it. " I'm curious what would have been his original "codename" if this did'nt happened

One giant teeth above and one below, SF4 style 😆

Not a fan of robot girl either, both for the robot thing but also for her look. But i can see japan pull that given their taste My reasoning was i doubt they would invest DLC money for fat girl, is more the type of char that have hope to sneak into vanilla cast rather than DLC Every DLC female they will release is going to have some waifu fanbase potential, be it new char or returning... non conventional beauty is unlikely to grab rare female slot imho (AKI already push a bit the limits in that sense), specially with many easy to sell beautiful female vets still waiting to join

I love them for circus value, bring me back to absurd anime vibes rather than tryhard urban bullshit Ideal scenario to me would have been Neo Shadaloo HQ stage with all freaks watching the fight and cheering for Ed i don't need them to do much more But i don't NEED* any of them playable (they would make fun special NPC to fight against in WTM though, hope to see that) *would still welcome if good pick and well made. My problem is i have higher need of cover important martial arts still missing... have no personal issue against crazy shit like the gorilla, but at same time SF6 as we speak have no Muay Thai rep from Thailand, that's the kind of shit where my priority goes I'm legit super curious about Season 2 picks, specially if they pull another 4-char bullshit

Tbh i will be fine with Cypher and Baba who will offer great variety*, to me is Falke that would be fucking redundant... she was'nt that charismatic/popular, too visually repetition of Ed and we have a la canne user with psycho powers already lol Indeed something that surprised me is no other female beside Falke, specially considering Falke was kinda mediocre addition and generated no fanbase, Neo Shadaloo in theory give them lot of creative freedom. There was the robot girl in SFV but in SF6 there's no hint of her There was also the fat hawaian girl that despite being someway interesting/curious choice (i even made her in creation) have no chance in hell to be DLC material, just don't fit audience's waifu needs *Cypher as pure knife user would be new (and cool for character creation), and teleport as power seems something that would make sense for a vicious opponent Wish they give him stronger cultural theme (i don't care they race-changed him, but previous one had caucasus area/cossack vibes wich gave him bit of direction, would like they build bit something for the new one too) Baba i know would be loved or hated kind of thing, personally would not have problem with it and would fill the "giant" slot, even if i would still prefer Hugo to fill it

No reason to believe he "must" have parents playing a role, he could be just a baby that Shadaloo was experimenting on and now that got rescued by Neo Shadaloo they're taking special care of him because despite special powers (seem PP telekinesis based on other artwork) he's still just a baby that needs people, so we see Falke behaving motherly and Baba looking like an happy uncle lol One fun thing would be if baby will end up be one of Bison bodies (like SF2, SFA or SF4/V) that got pulled out from the growth capsule before growing, dark hair and tanned skin kinda match (of course may be by coincidence lol) This would make him a potential easy host if Ed indeed grew strong enough to prevent being possessed, wonder how Ed/NS would react if the threat come from the baby they adopted You're correct it's same monkey that once was Santamu's pet It's a golden lion tamarin, no idea if adult already or not but will never grow much more than that, pretty small animal. Baba is a gorilla, considering Ed describe him as larger than Zangief (and old SFV old artwork had it fucking gigantic in a size comparision piece*) would say the largest subspecies, eastern lowland gorilla * Dobberman have "another face" as he can compress his own body changing look (and abilities)... these two are same guy Guess would be Zeku-like character (as have two different forms to switch) if ever become playable(idoubt)

Cool thing of that thumbnail pic is that you can see in Ed Rog's pose 😄

Thanks dude Btw considering they touched Solar Plexus i wish they made it cool again, with meterless shit 🥲

Wow, shitty in terms of contents to unlock, but lot to talk about In super random order - We finally got a name for knife guy, Cypher. They made him do a DBZ fusion with Afro Samurai, but i'm ok with it as SFV one had kinda light hair and we don't need all of them to be blond lol - Apparently Dobberman power was stolen studying an indian master, but rather than Dhalsim i think they mean Dr. Gulabjamun - For the child i agree with @DarthEnderXmost easy guess is baby was another subject they was experimenting on, with Falke holding it as she's the only woman of the group so would fit as motherly figure. Interesting part about the child is that seems to have PP telekinesis, another specific PP ability after the 4 we saw already, made me thnk he's 5th to receive one of Bison's "gifts" - Baba/Gorilla gift have me bit confused, in theory super intellect is one of Bison traits, but we never seen him do the genius scientist shit, he ever looked like he had to rely on other scientists to build and explain him stuff, while often he just looked the typical army villain who don't want listen and just push them to work harder/faster. But after all we have Urien who's canon confirmed brilliant scientist who personally made up bunch of theories and then let his scientists develop stuff based on his intuitions, so maybe Bison was similar case - Maybe i'm missing some more accurate anime reference, but did bit of search, seems there's an anime dolphin with psychic powers called Ikyugo in a series about psychic powers So guess this guy may have been their inspiration? https://zettaikarenchildren.fandom.com/wiki/Ikyūgō Apparently his powers are precognition and telepathy Wich make me think if PP and SP are two faces of same coin sharing similar powers (i know we don't all agree on thiswe talked it not long ago), PP may at least have some precognition potential since we know SP have it Btw the dolphin feels cool pick for Shadaloo experiments, considering how evolved and mysterious their brain still is to us. - Capcom seem's to be unable to chose if Ed had parents or was totally lab made, just yesterday i seen his SFV story where Ed is sure to be made in lab (literally say it), today in SF6 i see him question if he had parents lol It's also given a new(?) info on one of Shadaloo methods to get subjects, apparently they would tell families the child needs special cures for some medical condition, then do instead their experiments - I'm kinda confused about Dolls destiny thought they were free after Bison's destruction but apparently afterward they was doing same shit even wearing shadaloo uniform, part that make me most skeptic about that piece is even Decapre is there, when in theory should have been saved by Cammy... it's hard even consider it retcon considering seems conflict even with SF6 Cammy info - Apparently "Neo Shadaloo" name was given them by others, and Ed basically just "accepted" that as at that point his group was known with that name Also as @YagamiFiresaid the shadaloo wannabes that seek to get Ed call themselves like that -We was guessing if ASF base was in Germany, i'm not sure if is or not, but now i believe Ed and Falke grew in two totally different bases: Ed in ASF one, wich left and then found Falke's one (in Germany) where he free her. Considering Falke is the very first he found guess possible also first base was in Germany or not far from it. Thanks to @biachunlipost we learned that Ed does'nt know german very well, but that does'nt hep much considering he grew talking mostly to Rog -Cool to see Rog still is friend with Ed... was kinda "spoiled" by same @biachunlipost where we knew they keept in touch, but still cool see it in the artwork, mostly because Ed leaving Rog to walk his own path was one of the two SFV story scenes totally ripped from Berserk, and in Berserk it resulted into dramatic end of friendship (and lot of other apocalyptic shit lol) Cool to see Rog just accepted Ed became a man free to chose his path and the bond survived, because was rare case of SF making Rog interesting beyond being SF Mike Tyson At same time could also hint Ed himself allowed him to get close because now believe to have grown strong enough to not being consumed by Bison (and so to not be a danger for Rog) - Seems JP original plan could have been return to work under Bison, i mean give the throne to Ed knowing will transform into Bison. Possible was'nt even a plan of JP, but still made up by Bison as saving-ass card... now that i think about it we never talked much about how JP could have got his PP after SF6 launch. At first i was hoping he was one of Bison's fellow disciples (mostly hoping Capcom had the balls to not do him a Bison minion lol) , but later we learned it's not possible as he just got PP in recent times. Another thing is that while Ed, Falke etc got the gifts split one by one, for whatever reason JP got (from Bison or took himself?) all Bison's abilities... surely to lesser extent (we learned he's not THAT strong) but still he can do all tricks of Ed, Falke, Chyper and Baba Make me think his apparent disgust for fighting/violence made him good candidate that could ignore PP push to seek power and stick to the plan, but fun thing is we seen JP is starting to like it too the more his PP grow, so maybe he will go "fuck the plan" and seek power as well (only to be squashed by eventual Bison returns because capcom have no testicles) - Ed base moveset (for specials i used lot else) is awesomeness on my Dudley 🤩 - Bit pissed we did'nt got to see NS base with all freaks ingame, would have been one of Ed's coolest things - Damn it Capcom adding motoGP style racing suit that could have been perfection to complete my Rosso but 3 colors out 3 were pure crap, completely useless 😭 Yeah, but sadly seems we will have to wait even more to complete the set (pants/boots still missing) Thought Ed would have got the new stage as final location with merchant selling it, but we seen he's just in MC subway Overall this have been most poor "world expansion" update of WTM, just 1 new item did'nt even gave us access to new stage... in all these months could have thought it better, specially considering how much stuff already done and just locked they have Well, at least in 3 days we get new FPass, let's hope that's is'nt crap lol
