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.

Someone from another forum translated the Japanese text from the right as peaceful Akuma with complete control over the Satsui no Hado .

Street Fighter Masters / Legends / Origins are not canon to the games.
 
Street Fighter 6 comics, specifically the stories written by Nakayama, are canon to the games.

Here's the image. I didn't took this, btw.

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.

For @ShockDingoand anyone who can't load/see the image:
Reddit poster, shinvergeben:
 
March 9th:  Here's your leak: Bison, Vega, Sakura, Rainbow Mika, Elena, and a New Male Character.
Edit- And yes season 2 has 6 characters, but only season 2 has 6 unfortunately for the foreseeable future.
 
March 16th:  Private discord with a history of leakers and insiders. If you know you know.
 
The source said that they saw a concept art with all six characters last month. Sakura has long hair resembling Hokuto from the Ex series. Bison is older, "unkept", and with a cape and what looks like "scars or veins on his skin". Vega is back to brown hair. Elena and Mika are "less naked".
 
All they said about the New Character is that they look Middle Eastern or African.
 
Capcom will announce them sooner than you think.
 

This is it, and it is because Ryu won't succumb to the SnH in the way Akuma wants he's decided to play Ryu's game and start to take inspiration from him. The thing is when it comes to the Shoryu in canon it was the second most effective move in Ansatusken right below the SGS. Goutetsu didn't ban the move, but Gouken did for himself yet he did teach it to his students as their most potent attack. In canon, the SRK is supposed to be a last resort move which is why both Ryu and Ken have some variant of it as their SA3 & CA .
 
I understand from the canon of SRK that it by design is meant to kill in one hit.
The SRK was already scientifically proven to have the potential to knock a person's head clean off their shoulders.
 
What is Akuma doing to the statue in SF6 that he's practicing his Shoryu on?

 
It's a blatant killing move yet Gouken and Ryu have made the attack just as effective without the destruction and killing through the technique. 
How is the technique performed?
Look at the obvious difference between a Tiger Uppercut and SRK. 
 
From the initial description of an SRK you would think a style like Muay Thai would benefit from an extra knee strike within the said technique. 
Although, Sagat has always performed Tiger Uppercut without a launching knee like the Shoryu.

 
Possibly because even Sagat knew that adding such impact without good judgment would probably end in disaster.
 
The Shin Shoryu in SF6 displays that Ryu launches his opponent with his knee during the final hit and that his fist only initially connects with the jaw and gut of his opponent. It doesn't launch the opponent through his jaw like a typical SRK would be designed to do. The launching action is directed toward the opponent's full body through a knee to the stomach in hopes of a clean KO.
 
This is in direct contrast to Kage just a game prior in SF5 who would launch a knee in conjunction with his fist connected directly to his opponent's jaw during his Metsu Shoryu. This would probably add more impact to the devastating nature of the SRK in rending a person's head from their neck.
 

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 whole Ryu petal training is a callback to the Nakahira manga and his Third Strike ending. At the beginning of the manga, it was explained that part of Gouken's teachings included Ryu and Ken using their energy to coax a leaf down from a tree and into their hands. 
During the SF3 ending we see Ryu himself saying he's far from even telling where the leaves would fall although he is keen enough to catch a few in his hand by chance.


 
During SF6 Ryu now has enough mastery to seemingly not only control multiple petals from the tree through his energy, they seem to flow with it as well. 
In contrast to Akuma's hardstyle training which focuses solely on destruction, Ryu's style is more so akin to Gouken's now more than ever. 
Akuma probably knows he's failed in trying to goad Ryu into succumbing to SnH and he's giving up on trying to convert him over and is preparing for their next meeting
 

I had been speculating for some time that the aura surrounding Ryu's fist during his Shin Shoryu was SnH and from the look of Akuma's fist in the teaser trailer they're a mirror of each other.


 
 
 

Just having his beard actually cover his chin improves his look SO much.

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.
 
 

Bosch concept designs posted by Nakayama.

These are just concepts for Luke of course. Interesting that at least 5 of those concepts for Luke are black characters. Regarding the fact the whole game is urban-themed and that they were considering a person of color to be the main character of SF6 is kinda fitting I feel.
 
Also, the artwork in the second-row sort of resembles Nash from SFA3, the poses are similar.

 

Me too. Because of this artwork:
 

 
It's a Neo Shadaloo uniform in Chun-Li. Despite having been rejected, as some rejected costumes have served as inspiration for others, apparently. I wonder if this will be a reality.
