With the confirmation that AKUMA is making 100s of statues for all those he's killed makes me wonder how he chooses his opponents; considering how strong most of the cast is now & not dead, yet he's interacted with mostly just Ryu & Gen, is it more that it's a combo of who is strong and personally interests him and seeks him out?
My boy Adon kept looking for him, but was alive as of SF4 cause he never was able to fight him, so he doesn't just kill anyone who's looking for him, but he did kill Adon's opponent.

That walk up animation where he Ashura wraps in is awesome. Glad the devs are doing so many fun things with the character details in this. I remember talking about possibilities for Q and really hope if he makes it in they go full ham

Wait a second...
The plumbers grandson goes on to fight aliens?
Blond? Westerner?
Who we putting money on this being a reference to? Captain Commando? Kevin Straker?Maybe Kevin, Captain Commando's family, at least in the manga were scientists and rich, they never mentioned his grandparents as far as I remember.

Also another unused concept (where are these coming from, a book?) Data as a Bollywood star.
I'd love this so much! My pals and I started watching Bollywood and Telugu action films at the start of the Pandemic and they're so fun, creative, and refreshing. Tiger Shroff kicks so much ass, look him up. A lot of these have over the top incredible stylized action that I think would be at home in Street Fighter, so having another Indian fighter would be golden!

Good eye on the added detail, the old mechanic for Neo Shadaloo got more details too. Made him interesting, I want them to give the ol' timer another chance!

Some thoughts:
QuoteIn Street Fighter 6, Akuma’s thirst for strength has taken a maddening toll. He carves figures of the hundreds of opponents he has felled and places them in the cave he resides, their silence beckoning him to fall deeper into his path of inner strife.
I wonder where he's at mentally in SF6, the wording here makes it seem like he's getting kinda crazy (er?) I wonder if the statues will have any cameos? Gen? It's kinda funny he's killed 100s of warriors, but can't keep anyone in the cast dead lol. Jokes aside, that's kinda cool, him doing a keepsake of the past fights is driving him crazier "remember all of these faces? Think of how good it is to take their lives! More Gouki, more! Don't leave them lonely, take more liiiiiives!"
I really hope they do something interesting with his character; the reason I fell off the train ages ago is because he has so much potential, but in the decades since his arrival, he's never making any real progress, just staying in the corner of the untouchable, edgey boy. I wanna see WT give insight into him in ways we've never seen before, I also wonder if the increasing isolation and SNH breathroughs he's making are making him wilder, but a bit of humanity from the player character (or Elena) may offer something unexpected.

I'm not even the biggest Akuma fan, but he looks fantastic. I'm loving the details and aesthetic push he's gotten. Someone on Twitter pointed out that for some moves, his entire face darkens. I love that Capcom is overhauling so many things, that's why I wanna see more SF3 folks, I can only imagine how cool they'll be under this direction!

Always happy to see what's left on the cutting room floor. Redhead Aki looks good, but feels like an entirely different character, I love the crazy, creepy, cute design we got with the snakeskin pants and mushroom hair. Echoing the points about the other characters, but I really dig that 4th Akuma at Peace one.

The whole "leak" was by an impersonator

Thanks! If this is real, I gotta sit with it, still unsure how I'd feel; I know Bison's coming back eventually, but s2 kicking off with two Shadaloo guys already feels kinda too soon and I again would be unsurprised, but disappointed in SF3 being give less priority.

That was a really well cut trailer. I hope they do more cinematic stuff like that for future characters or at least the last characters in a season. May just be cause it's Akuma though.

The top right Luke concept has the Killmonger cut.
I still find it kinda hilarious how out of all the games out there that get our hair right and is bursting with variety, is Fortnite.

I mentioned this on twitter. Do we actually know if Ed was a clone or was a kidnapped kid that got aged up? Over the years I've forgotten.

Yooo, Ed's stage is awesome! Destroyed lab, broken Shadaloo logos and dead human incubators everywhere! He also looks like he starts going a bit evil in his first winpose! Cool stuff!

Yeah, I haven't watched the whole thing but Tekken 8 really did things awesomely as Darc said. No spoilers, but the fact that they had certain characters having story related affects on their movements was awesome. I remember back in the 90s when my sister and I played Soul Blade and in Edge Master mode there were certain matches with special conditions (player is poisoned, opponent can only be hurt in air, etc), I'd love to see more of that in story modes!

I feel robbed. I REALLY wanted to see these two animated in anime form.
I....I just don't get it. I love SF6, love WTM & online and the avatar stuff is a fine idea, it's just that they're leaning too far in one direction instead of something balanced. I'm really confused and hope season 2 irons out the wrinkles, cause this is disappointing. I WANT SF6 to reach for the stars, but I'm getting worried. 😕

Ah okay, I thought she retired from field work, thanks for the info guys.

There's not much reason for her to wear the mask anyway. I think Vega was the one that originally made her wear it.
Who makes fun of people's disfigurations these days anyway besides drunks and 5-year-olds?
Also I think Cammy would want her to fully accept herself and be comfortable, so there would probably be encouragement to not cover up or even growout her hair to cover her face. It's a cool direction to see her just living a normal life and leaving the fighting to Cammy.

I wonder if the sIrin stuff is going to be a bigger focus for season 2 and this is hinting at it? Also we're getting maintenance on the 8th, hope the trailer drops soon.
