    Coming in with some good news. 
     
    I was able to preserve most of my fighting game footage from my old account. 
    Google Takeout. 
    Some may already be aware of this. 
     
    But, I was able to save nearly 13 years worth of fighting game stuff up til 2021 when I got caught up some... FFVII RE soundtrack-related issues (I was trying to upload the Hello House Boss Fight on the highest difficulty but... that's not how it worked. The warnings went to my spam email apparently). 
     
    Only bad thing now is that the stuff from SFIV and SFV is practically obsolete now. But, just in case need to know: 
    Google Takeout. DM me or look for the instructions on how to retrieve your files. 
     
    On a more related note, one of my coworkers who plays SF6 actively has taken a liking to Juri and Guile, so I can see if I can help a brother out on that end for casuals when given the chance.

    As shameless Akuma hater i would like if that many people smoked him, but sadly is'nt the case
     
    When younger Gouken indeed defeated clean Gouki first time, Gouki fucked him up in the rematch and after years Gouken "won" the third by using Mu no Ken, but we have no idea if he actually beated him up or just successfully defended himself using MnK as shield... we do know that right after the match Gouki was'nt injuried but accepted defeat (as he could not harm Gouken as long he got MnK) and left
    Beside first, follow up become them one-oup each other with a new technique: Gouki with SGS in SF2, Gouken with MnK in SF4, Gouki is working on new one in SFV (to pierce through MnK)... my fear is ultimately Gouki will manage to kill Gouken as set up for Ryu vs Gouki
     
    Gen was able to give him competitive fight but Gouki left when realized Gen, who was sick of leukemia, would not be able to fight 100% (implied Gouki would have likely won, but the disease interfering with the outcome would have not made it a "pure victory")
     
    Oro an Gouki both agreed to interrupt the fight as some sort of draw, as they  both realized the outcome of the fight would have been mutual destruction
     
     
    BONUS: We may have Garuda making Akuma literally escape with tail between legs, but being SFEX events from there are not canon in actual SF main chapters story, even if at this point the characters themselves are canon to exist (Darun being canonized in SFV)
    So we have Garuda likely to exist somewhere in SF world, but we can't know if in a re-written SF fight they would give it same outcome of SFEX

    I expect him gonna kill either Oro or Gouken off screen lol.
     
    And I don't like it, that's a poor way to sell his character 
     
    by the way Viper kinda hot here

    By the time Gouki becomes playable, we're going to get some more of: "I am the master of the fist!," and then we're expected to forget that he was smoked out by Gouken, Gen, and Oro at one point. 
     
    I hope people still don't buy into the Shun Goku Satsu literally taking people to hell to have their souls shredded by demons or something corny like that. 
    The nail in that coffin should have been obvious by SFV.

    Considering he's supposed to be old as fuck and does'nt trust his own body as fitting to be used for fighting, more likely

    Yeah to the latter 👍
     
    But about Gill and Urien being "put in their place in terms of both combat " i will indeed like it, but not before they actually had time to shine as villains, neither ever truly did
    Gill SF3 run felt like foreplay of something more epic that never happened (because SF gone missing right after SF3), Urien ever been just the guy on the side of the scene with angry face lol
     
    I mean i'm all in favor of big Bosses get their ass wrecked, so they can leave space on top of the mountain to new bosses (instead recycle ssame big baddies over and over), something Capcom seems terrified of (they prefer sacrifice new villains giving them no chance to fly) , but in Gill case i want first see him go full out openly evil, massacre opponents, seem invicible dropping dat Seraphic Wing on somebody (despite being one of the greatest show-off of power in SF, canon wise it's never mentioned as if he never used it in a canon fight)... then yes, underdog hero beated up close to death does that shonen desperation attack and defeat Gill saving the day
     
    But so far we're far from this
     
    Bison had fuckton of screentime doing his big plans shit (lot of losses to, but still lot of shining)
     
    Akuma is a shit character and still get nothing but hype moments (with only lowest point during SF timeline a "loss" off screen with Gouken wich is unclear how's gone and we don't see him get beaten up)
     
    Even discount filler villain Seth had full development in SF4. Then was disposed by Capcom as trash to feed Bison legacy, but that was AFTER he had time to actually rise and fall vs hero Ryu
     
    Gill and Urien never had it much, despite Gill (and SS) by design being supposed to be super big deal
    SF3
    -Gill had only his mysterious loss to Alex (who in theory should be well below him*) and we know he take losses on purpose, we seen it vs Urien and later will even claim to do it often in one SFV w quote. Rest is Mr.NiceGuy sportmanship shit
    -Urien get a confirmed fake W and have some kind of "amusement fight" losing to fucking Chun of all people
    SFV
    -Gill get two quality Ws vs Urien and G, but have not much relevance story wise, felt kinda side-events
    -Urien lose only serious fight vs his brother (wich is normal, ever thought canon wise Gill>Urien), then beat up weakened Nash and bum Balrog
     
    Essentially i agree with you, but only if it happens in one huge big deal arc where he goes all out, proper rise and fall
    If they want to pull a capcom and throw him under the bus in some irrelevant side arc i prefer them to keep him in current lame narrative limbo of "See that guy? He's super powerful, and one day will do something!" that bring nowhere but at least does'nt compromise the char chances of have a future
     
    One thing i would like is at some point Urien going full desperate after the SFV beating and start experimenting straight on himself (Urien is actually confirmed to be pro af at genetic shit, even his scientists are impressed by his theories), surpassing his brother and becoming a fucking big deal Boss
     
    On general i would like the idea to have more characters (villains too if possible) able to give Akuma a competitive fight**, because currently Akuma is the ceiling and capcom hold him as neverending blue balls hype, and they already post-poned his last duel beyond the cool moment... Ryu even aged past anime hero age and became a fucking middle age man, we still have to see them ending this crap 🤣
     
    At least we would get credible villains while they struggle with the cowardice of lose Akuma as cashcow (something i doubt will happen over a canon story development, Bison still sell after having lost bunch of fights)
     
    *we know in SF3 Oro consider Ryu and Gill to be equal, when Ryu meet Alex it's absolutely an one-side beating
    ** not that characters that should actually fight him, just being canon implied to be able to do it

    I do like the idea of Gill (and, by extension, Urien) being put in their place in terms of both combat and through the exposure of their less-than-savory acts.
     
    Rashid being a candidate for the latter would be a great set piece.

    GreatDarkHero reacted to CESTUS III in The Street Fighter VI Story Thread: Shadaloo Died so Luke Could Live!   
    Irony is Rashid would have indeed far greater chance at damage Gill using the streaming rather than using the fighting 😆
     
    Like, Rashid playing smart tricking Gill into do/say something evil while being streamed all around the world, would be a very Rashid thing to do and quite effective

    Today's Ryu's birthday! I'mma have a few online casual matches with him today.
     
    In other news, I got every master in World Tour to full strike exp and bonding exp. I'm almost done with the sub quests and after I complete them I'll finish everything in arcade and THEN!
     
    Combo training, and eventually ranked. Excited to get on the road to Master!
