CESTUS III

Lmao at shinkiro heavy roiding up Kyo to don't have him completely embarassed next to Ryu 🤣

"Real" in the sense that they put tons of these in SFV and -i hope- i'm guessing them right for internet fun, only thing we can do unless Capcom give us official complete list of cameos/reference they did... wich would be awesome, because many times they gone take cool stuff Sometimes they're clear as sun (due visual or theme) sometimes can only guess, i count some -hopefully small- % or error as part of the thing 😄 For what's worth i try to stick to stuff i feel kinda sure, so hope that % to stay low lol In that case i mostly followed color scheme Btw the fact G have not only 1 but 2 colors from fucking Doraemon or Ed having a color from a japanese baseball team (both hinted by Capcom site), should sideline any Cody Castlevania problem lol, they just gone crazy with this shit 😂 Worst ones are those that they half ass done with errors, example "SF1 Ryu" have completely wrong headband and gloves, but still on the site they listed it as SF1 Ryu (wich effectively is even used in SF1 Arcade mode)

Now, if with my love for Elena we can just agree to give her Akuma's SF6 slot, i scored twice with one shot 🤣 Where i must to sign?

Personally i just love the character as character design/martial art so i hope Elena to be part of SF6/SF future But i ever get replies of people getting crazy over it as if is IMPOSSIBLE split the character (as design etc) and past gameplay problems lmao Guess on general problem is FGC usually have low faith in developers being able/willing to fix where they fuck up (and FGC have a point there), so they want ever to stay as far as possible from shit that caused problems in the past... wich i can understand but i still want nice shit lol

Cody's turn 😄 LOT of stuff going on with him (even if to be fair lot we already figured out back to launch day), i think with Chun Li and Poison he may be the one with most references i think to have found

i may be one of the few that wish Elena to return in SF6... if happen hope she looks like this, skin wise

Tbh at this point i would be ok with a reboot of SF3 events Like 50% SF6 being straight new stuff involving Luke, G, Neo Shadaloo etc Other 50% being stuff like Ryu meeting and starting train under Oro Sean starting training under Ken Alex scrap with Gill (and possibly know if was legit fight or usual Gill troll job) Maybe Chun Li vs Urien, su Chun crowd can finally quit cry Would like also know if there's something more behind Tom vs Gill Thing is at this point SFV dropped LOT of non-SF3 stuff still to develop but also ignore SF3 would be problematic Thing is i fear if SF6 will ignore SF3 will be because they set SF6 BEFORE it and we will be there bunch of years from now guessing if SF7 will be set after SF3 or before lmao

Well we will get also more SFV stuff effectively (patch+guess last CPT dlc) Whatever the more the better Specially considering i'm terrified (but hyped at same time) by SF6 announcement, could use a SFxT side life-boat to escale if they fuck up lol

Idk with SF6 announcement coming feel strange the idea of them releasing stuff that may distract from it Would welcome it though, specially if they completely change the graphic style (but keep Color Edit pls)

Abigail Time 😄

Abigail Time 😄

So new boss is bastard son(daughter) of Verse and SFV Necalli 🤣 Well, sub-boss Actual final Boss looks escaped from a Bayonetta game

Tbh Hugo and Poison being much better than other random shits is something that has been a retcon after, im speaking how current Dan would do if thrown into FF1 Hugo with SF3, Poison with FFR or SF4 got the power up Back in the FF time they were supposed to be relatively weak, minor enemies that you can take out while fighting multiple enemies Even bosses like Rolento and Sodom in SFA were/are kinda low in the SF food chain (both better than Dan tough), and DamnD is even weaker than them (would not be surprised if Dan-level lol) I guess only FF1 villain that would be considered very strong even for SF standards was probably Abigail

Btw joke aside SFV CA gave me the idea he's improved as martial artist, seems way more technical Iirc in sfv story he even win/draw a friendly sparring with Blanka Of course an angry savage Blanka that want to kill his opponent would probably quickly rip him into pieces, but still something lol Ever found fun how we got used to see him as weak idiot because he's constantly compared to SFers, while if he was a Final Fight character he would wreck lot of punks before getting defeated by some Boss. Think he would even have good chances vs DamnD and get stopped at 2nd stage Boss(Sodom) lol Btw talking about idiot stuff, YT just thrown at me this old gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV346aR-A6A

It's exactly what they do, and i love that There's so much material, i ever thought i saw everything by them through years and doing this color reference thing i'm discovering lot of pieces/stuff i never seen before lol Well no problem with that, SF2V Retsuden manga and even SF canon have them too lol 😄 Tbh i would find it bit redundant since we already got Bison doing similar shit with psycho power, BUT if ever we will have to accept a SF chapter with Akuma as main/final Boss i would find him less boring if he get some "SnH philosophy" disciples that may work as sub-bosses... like, they don't need to be Japanese, dress like shotos or even use Ansatsuken... actually they would be infinitely BETTER if they don't I'm speaking just about fighters from different corners of the world/styles recognizing Akuma's status on top of food chain and following his path in Bison-ShadaKings kind of way Fun thing is there seems also used as way to show some kind of proportion of power between them, even if to be fair if its was like that gap should probably be much wider

i thought the same as you, then i saw this (next to Chun li) SFV Dan it's like he's wearing just the head of that thing Of course SFV one is bit different (like a shitty Dan-made version of it) as in-story it's indeed big replica of the small ones he did in SFV story, but concept wise pretty sure somebody at Capcom seen that old piece and used it as starting idea lol

I jumped in on the boob job thing, Juri and Cammy (and Chun, but there it works) feels the ones that got it Agree on better butt in V though 👌 Lmao what at you 😄 If there's one thing SF4 did way better than V was the fact that ugly or not (answer being, yes ugly) the 3D models were done trying to follow as much as possible Ikeno's SF4 art in very loyal way If anything in V most of the ugliest characters (guess Ken, Alex, Abigail the first that come to mind) have in common that ingame models seems to have took liberties from concept sketches (in their defense concept sketches were much more confused compared to SF4, lot of very different hands involved) And also model to model there's often no much consistency, guess courtesy of give the job to bunch of external different people with different style Then if we must argue wich game is prettier, there's no debate, SFV is surely prettier and have more complex models (and great animations)... does'nt change art direction has been a confused mess lol If anything we may even say that while SF4 had clear "official" art style (Ikeno's) is not even possible find a clear artist counterpart for V beside say shit like "they try make them look like clay action figures" thing Personally i hope for 6 they will keep do pretty shit but at same time have an art director able to hold strong grip on people working under him

i find the lack of Joe Higashi disturbing, but got to admit even shitty new kof characters look cool in this short

i was'nt a fan of how they changed Cammy neither tbh SF4 models were poor af but their vision of Cammy and Juri was spot on, with V they just messed it up to score points with the fapping crowd lol Even if to be fair anime in recent years took same route of add extra sugar to their eye candy lol

personally i'm having lot of fun searching them, both because know the reference make me appreciate way more the actual colors and because it's cool when you're like "i know already seen this" and finally figure it out There are some patterns that capcom took doing this, but sometimes they go crazy lmao... like G having 2 Doraemon colors lol Plus considering often they made reference from same saga/series/whatever is fun you end up accidentally find a char color reference when you was searching another one lol Last it's cool that during research you end up find tons of stuff you never seen before, like just yesterday i discovered where Dan's giant puppet costume come from 😄

Posting here too as last time with Akira seems it was liked, more color/costume reference stuff Cammy and Honda* this time *props to @Miðgarðsormfor infos about Takanoha back to SRK

Random af thread bump, more color/costume reference stuff Cammy and Honda* this time *props to @Miðgarðsormfor infos about Takanoha back to SRK

Definitely, i think it's the main inspiration 😄 Then you throw in some Eminem, Rock Howard, EDward Falcon Steve Fox,, Azel (GodHand) and maybe some Patroklos too Who knows, maybe in SF6 Capcom will give him some sort of Sky Noah for his Neo Shadaloo lol

Tbh they also gradually killed good chunk of brown hair crowd lol Despite lot artworks still give him brown hair, Ryu ingame lost it since SF3, Chun Li lost it in SFV, Zangief lost it in SF4, Vega regained it in SF4 only to lose it again in SFV One redeeming quality of Luke is that he's brown hair guy who dyed blond just the top to get a job in SFV LOL
