Or even playable... FANG was also never popular. 😛 Also fights nothing like the character she's apprenticing. And didn't replace her either, since Rose showed up later in SF5.

...but that's not what the Kombat Kids are. All the Kombat Kids parents/masters were still playable in their games.

What are you talking about? They already have. Sakura, Sean, Menat? Now Kimberly, Lily and AKI.

His Story costume in SF5 didn't have the backpack, and he still has the wind so...I assume it's not needed? His SF6 design doesn't appear to have any of that gear either. It's like Oro said, man. Different people call it different things, but it's all just Ki.

You say that, but Cammy started going out with Juni right afterwards. So it was probably more like: Marz's lapstop slam will live on!

I assume she does it the same way Ryu does it. With Ki. According to Juri, she and Viper still do jobs together. They work together to destroy and rob organizations. Rashid likes tech gadgets, but they aren't part of his moveset like they are with Viper. Rashid is more like Li Fen in that regard.

I predict just after EVO, so that his release doesn't fuck up the meta right before EVO. Probably have a cool trailer for him AT EVO.

None that I recognized as being ultra-rare.

I've also been grinding out Mastery over the last couple days. That poor subway is really getting a workout.

Dunno if he used those exact characters in Japanese, but that's exactly what he says in English. "In Japanese, it would be pronouced "Edomondo". Like Edo-period!"

No, it isn't. It's not stated anywhere that "the suit was specifically designed by S.I.N to make some a tournament class fighter". The suit was given to Viper, by SIN, to test during the tournament. That's it. There are no sources anywhere stating what the purpose of the suit is.

To the extent that Ryu is always holding back whenever he isn't using the SNH, yes. Mm, I don't agree with that. She doesn't say that until AFTER he goes berserk. That suggests she didn't think her life was in danger until he started using it. Speaking of which, after seeing my CAC learn to use Psycho Power from JP, I'm kind of interested to see how we start learning SNH from Akuma now.

I'm talking about standard Ryu. Not SNH Ryu. She was able to go toe-to-toe with him, until he went SNH berserk. They also haven't given us any indication that it wouldn't. Which is my point. Capcom has given ZERO indication of how strong she is or isn't without the suit. So stating with confidence that she's sub-Dan is pure bullshit. Neither can Balrog or Zangief. Are we going to suggest that they're weaker than Dan now?

Ah, cool. So a bunch of speculation, colored by your dislike for the character. I also don't like Viper or her techsuit. But I'm not just going to make shit up to make her seem even worse than she is. That's Vasili shit. It's a Battle Suit. It's purpose is to make someone stronger. He gave it to Viper to test during the tournament. But the idea that it's specifically designed to elevate scrubs to tournament fighters only is purely your headcanon. Even if I subscribed to your notion that Seth would have given it to a total scrub in order to test it(which I don't), that ignores the fact that she is a highly trained secret agent, a fact which Seth was unaware of. So if he gave her the suit thinking she was a scrub, that doesn't mean she actually was, because she was hiding her capabilities from him. And if she actually was a scrub, then the fact that the suit made her stronger than Cammy, and comparable to Ryu(i.e. well beyond the "tournament fighter" level) means that either A. Viper was not a scrub to begin with, hence her being buffed well beyond the "tournament fighter" level, or B. the suit on it's own is comparable in power to Ryu. Which is just an asinine suggestion.

Cool. So you'll have some evidence of that fact then?

I'm sure... 🙄

Yeah, if you'd told me the leader of one of Metro City's gangs was going to be a former Dhalsim student, I wouldn't have believed it.

All of those make sense except Jamie. That puts him above most of the World Warriors.

Seemingly other way around. He's telling a story about earlier in his career and says he used to be a "heel". Well that's just silly. I have no problem with him being evil without a tragic backstory, but unless he's not human and is actually some kind of demon there's no reason for him to be "born evil".

A character slot where you have to spend your in game money to switch between characters isn't really a character slot.

It's crazy to me CAC only has one character slot...

Well. Completed the main story and unlocked the last fighting style. To be fair, he does say that his pro-wrestling persona is a "heel". So to the public in the SF world, he is a "bad guy".

I did his questline, then you can attack him whenever afterwards and the glasses are one of the rewards. I believe fingerless gloves are just a shop option later. No idea if they're the same.

I'm sure we'll get more clothing pieces, but I'd be surprised if we get more colors in the clothing that's already there. I'm pretty lucky that all the pieces of clothing I wanted to wear had a "black" option. But every item I'm wearing is like a slightly different SHADE of black. So it only KINDA matches. The Investment Vest isn't going to get a "slightly darker shade of gray" option later down the line. Especially since, that's just not how the dye system works. You also have no control at all over secondary colors on an item. Like, my tie is the color that it is because it's the tie that comes with the black vest. There's no changing the tie color without also changing the vest color. Contrast that to, say, SFxTK, where, granted, you could only color the whole outfit, but you had options for like the primary, secondary outfit colors, and then primary and secondary accessory colors, and each of those had WAY more than 4 options each. tl;dr The character creator for the character's body in this game is fantastic. The character creator for the character's clothing kinda sucks.

Ayup! I will say, my biggest disappointment with the CAC(other than the weird special move limitations), is the lack of color options. Any given piece of clothing only has as many as 4 specific alternative colors that you can dye the item. And the options available are specific to each item. Like, I know Soul Calibur is the gold standard when it comes to this. But FFS, SFxTK did a better job than that!
