Changing the subject (because holy crap, guys...), since there's a drought of Q & G content, I decided to get a commission of the very talented Otacat of my favourite Cryptid who fights in the Streets:

New items at the Battle Hub store seems to confirm that Marisa’s full name is Marisa Rossetti. The name appears with a logo of a centurion helmet. Looking it up, Rossetti is derived from the Italian word Rosso which means red. Rossetti itself has been used as a nickname to refer to someone with red hair.
 
This makes JP and A.K.I. to be the only new characters in SF6 without a stated last name.
 
 

Just the fact that A.K.I. is all about being happy to do whatever her "master" says and idolizing F.A.N.G, while Juri couldn't be forced to take orders from someone else if it didn't align with her interests, let alone idolize, should tell a lot about how Juri and A.K.I. are pretty different characters outside of surface similarities.
 
The only thing they have in common is that they're Asian and evil ladies. Maybe the color palettes are pretty close, because they both have purple in their themes, but then again that's just a poison-coded color, and I don't think A.K.I. would have looked very good had they gone for the other poison-coded color which is green. There's already one green motherfucker who slides on the ground too much in this game.
 
Like, if Kolin had been Asian, would she have been considered Juri-adjacent as well?

Pretty cool how she makes FANGs with her gauntlets during her lvl 3:

If anyone else here has been a fan of Noe V./BigMex's blogs on fighting game design for years like me, I just want to bring attention to the fact that, for the past month or so, he's been doing a series about SF6 that's up to 16 parts now.

Capcom and the attention to details.
 
 
Remember when on his character profile Capcom stated that Carlos is no longer using his "Wheel throw" (orig. 車輪投げ Sharin nage, "wheel throw", aka the classic Tomoe Nage from Jūdō) because doing it gave him backaches? Well, he's still doing it, just more on his right side... So the scabbard with the katana inside on his back doesn't hurt him anymore. 😆

Yes Capcom, tease me Menat

I hope they share all the designs AKI went through

That's...not contortionist shit.
 
That's basically a bridge. Like basically the same thing Darun and Seth do. And Darun ain't no contortionist. I can do bridges too. That's leagues different from AKI's bizarre body contortions and slithering movements. Like way different.
 
EDIT:

I'll also note that I watched the trailer for the first time last night alongside my friend who is a big Street Fighter fan but very much a 'normie' in regards to lore.
 
He really really liked AKI and did not think she was like Juri. He immediately compared her to FANG and I let him know she was his apprentice. At first he thought she was more similar to Vega cuz of the snake motif and the use of claws as a weapon.

This is the story thread. Surface level observations are things we mock Eventhubs for.
