The Slick Tony

Ok *exhales violently* after sparing against all 18 masters after maxing out their styles, I compiled a list of the levels they are at when they are sparing 'seriously" instead of just training you. These might be where Capcom considers them to be:
 
Blanka - Lvl 65
Cammy - Lvl 65
Chun-Li - Lvl 65
Dee Jay - Lvl 62
Dhalsim - Lvl 69
E.Honda - Lvl 65
Guile - Lvl 68
Jamie - Lvl 67
JP - Lvl 68
Juri - Lvl 66
Ken - Lvl 67
Kimberly - Lvl 64
Lily - Lvl 61
Luke - Lvl 60
Manon - Lvl 63
Marisa - Lvl 63
Ryu - Lvl 70
Zangief - Lvl 65

If this isn't a hint then I don't know what is.

SF6 becomes only the 29th game to receive Famitsu's perfect score in the Japanese magazine's 37-year history.
 

I think most of you are reading WAY too much in the CAC.

That's an over complication to say that the CAC is a shonen protagonist 🤣.

It makes sense to me for the CAC to be an ordinary human in the world of SF. The narrative encourages the CAC to learn from anyone they can and discover themselves doing it. Making them an robot is such an insane reach to justify a gameplay function.

In all honesty, it was a pointless sacrifice because F.A.N.G. ended up surviving anyway. If they both were down for the count at least it would have a "worthy" sacrifice. I did like how Cammy talks about Decapre. She's in Delta Red now and they meet to talk often to get to know each other. Plus one of the quests is about Cammy trying to learn how to be good with dogs because her twin sister is a dog person and she is a cat person. Honestly, and I haven't maxed everyone yet, but the story nuggets for the main cast in World Tour Mode are great. You get to see personality and progression. 

This puts his criticism of Bison in a new light because you know this man was sick of all the stuff Bison wanted to have.
 
“We have managed to install statues of you and the other three kings in your lair. It was costly, but we are still within our budget to-“
 

 
“…you want to tear down one of the statues and replace it with a new one? You do know that- yes yes. I’ll make the arrangements.”

-premise, i did'nt completed WT so this post reflect my current mid-run perspective, i don't know if end game will give hints about CaC being SiRN-
 
I said Kenichi, and is essentially what Kenichi does
 
Btw let's not pretend this kind of shit is impossibru in SF world, we literally got a high school girl that without secret powers of any kind or even just proper long Ansatsuken training under Ryu/Gouken, can do this
⬅️ watch this canon shit lol
 
Would add is important say beyond some weird/forced stuff due gameplay reasons, canon wise you're NOT supposed to be good as your Master at that style, pretty sure to remember Chun Li after one low-level fight saying she's not going soft on us, but that she adapt her performance to our level (wich is a way to say she's going soft but said in diplomatic way to not hurt our feelings lol) or something like that
 
Essentially just like in real life when noob join the gym you don't need to sparring in super slow-motion or to turn your fist in a caress, but at same time you're not supposed to use your best feints to strike his chin to KTFO him, bomb his liver as if you're fighting for the belt or try to make him limp whole next week lol
 
One good example i seen in my run is even maxing Luke style (the only i maxed so far) after defeating hundreds of street thugs and some good fighters, will NOT put me on par with Luke 😄
I got his whole moveset up to Lv3 super art, yet only thing i obtained is unlock the option to have a serious sparring with Luke where he is completely overpowered compared to me lol, guess canon wise THAT's the true Luke lol
 
Then you have ingame limitations story can't cover years of our CaC life training, so it's all condensed... but agan, even within SF canon i'm not sure if took THAT long for Sakura to throw her first hadoken (wich canon wise is'nt comparable to Ryu's one)
 
Just like for regular cast ingame feats don't necessary reflect canon ones
Imagine if main cast gameplay would reflect actual canon power levels what impossible to play mess would be 😄
 
Last as i mentioned i think a page ago, if format is similar to Soul Calibur one whole gimmick is your CaC evolving/grinding from noob up to anime hero boss beater, JRPG style, same shit

FYR Story People! Thank you @Scotia

edit- It seems Marz did survive her encounter with FANG?

edit 2- Notable lack of SF3 references. Especially SS. Sorry @ShockDingo

Tier list from Mago, Gachikun, and Tokido.
 

Idk dude I see SF3 players bitching way more than anyone about their characters not being here. SF2 players don’t have to complain because they already get what they want lol.

New SF games keep coming out BECAUSE of the SF2 characters.

Even the risky shitshow that was launch SF5 still got carried by the colossal power and adoration that the legacy characters command. They allow Capcom leeway with risk taking in the series in a way no other bouquet of characters allows.

Like SF6 can afford 8 new characters (not to mention Rashid and Ed) in year one like that because they are offset by the 8-10 of OGiest of the OGs.

I'm not saying we shouldn't get SF3 characters (cuz you know I like so many of them) but let's not pretend they carry the brand name or extend the brand's reach to general audiences.

SF3 characters gained a lot of traction over the years, especially with hipsters beating the drum of 3S being the best fg ever, but is it enough? Capcom doesn't think so and that's not our fault. We didn't choose SF2 and its characters, it chose us.

 

I agree!

This is why when someone says "stop bringing back X old SF2 character" I tell'em to STFU. These guys are practically new and have never been better in so many ways.
 
A new generation can get to fall in love with them again. Where else are zoomers going to learn about the art of Sumo from an actual sumo? Or that there's something called the Amazon Rainforest if not from Blanka?

@EvilCanadian

Placement matches went ok 


 
For once, a new fighting game came out, and I didn’t dick around in a character crisis for the first 3 months. 
 
Dhalsim (and soon JP) have all the annoying zoner bullshit I could ever ask for.  Gonna keep grinding and keep stealing all my tech from the Japanese.
 
🫡

I agree. I find his style of zoning is very unique for Street Fighter. As others have said it's kinda NRS or even BlazBlue style which is  pretty cool.
 
I just wish I didn't have microwave brain reactions and just eat his unblockable fireball over and over. But that's a me problem 

Now I can finally relax and play World Tour Mode.

It’s not boring as fuck you just don’t like it. Not every character needs to play the same or be exciting for you to watch.
 
You sound 1 breath away from being featured on scrub quotes. 

JP looks like the berries and cream Starburst guy if he was old
 
 
 
 

If you run through it and don't do everything it's around 20 hours. If you maniac like me, you'll be in there forever. It's fun to goof around with avatar battles. I was bodying people because I was level 74. Then some level 78 dude with Yoga Teleport and SPD wrecked my shit. It was good fun as hell. Nice way to decompress from serious play. They even let you practice in training mode while you wait for avatar matches.

Installed world Tour the other day and gave it a spin earlier. Wasn't really planning to but I needed a bit of a break from the PvP side of things and I have to admit, it's actually solid. Like a very old-school kind of 3D beat'em up that might as well have come out on PS2, with all the silliness and humour and it not being afraid of trying something dumb. Not sure if I'll play through it entirely (any numbers on how long that'll take?) but I try to go at least far enough to unlock some costumes for characters I care about.
