I was afraid of that lol

If you have the address to the article, I'd definitely check it out

My wife played SF6 for the first time this morning. Although she *really* wanted to use Chun, she ended up playing Luke (who she feels is a brodude lol). The very first thing she wanted to do with him was his “haduuken” taunt. She felt right at home with using Modern controls and combos came to her more than they had before. We played some SFV before we got into SF6, and we easily had more fun playing SF6 and had some laughs to boot! I didn’t think my honey would enjoy SF but she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Twin tried to warn us. He came with the struttin meme.

I can definitely see that the spirit of Street Fighter II is alive and well in SF6. Here are a few things I've considered: looking at the classic costumes, the characters look closer to their SF2 iterations than any other sequel, the fun versus screen with just the characters' faces is something we haven't seen since probably SFA, I mentioned that the super shadows have been brought back, the battle damage feature is returning after a long absence, looks like Capcom is upping the ante with the bonus stages (I mean big rigs and fridges tho?? Lol), the character select screen mirrors the WW8 in SF2, Blanka's and Dhalsim's SF2 stages have returned, shoot even the SF2 movie theme got remixed (again) for the game. I remember that SF4 was supposed to be a reimagined SF2, but it feels like it was derived from other games. SF6 though hits the nostalgia harder. We just need that classic music rearranged for the game.

So maybe you guys picked up on this, but I just realized that super combo shadows have definitely returned. I thought it was just some cool blur effect, but when I paused Ryu's Shin Shoryuken, those shadows are present and looking great.

I feel like the most we're gonna get in regards to some decent storytelling won't come from World Tour or Arcade mode. I think the comics coming next month are pretty much gonna be it for a while. I don't expect WT to give us anything substantial besides offering exposition to the newcomers on who these "masters" are and what they're doing these days. Arcade feels like it's gonna be close to SFV's version, which isn't bad per se, but isn't likely gonna offer us the juicy bits. However grinding for artwork is fun (especially if special conditions are involved). We don't need to see another cinematic story mode with "Ryu and his merry warriors" as @Miðgarðsormhumorously mentioned. Mortal Kombat can keep that whole format... SF6 needs to do its own thing. Whatever that looks like I'm hoping for a home run of a story. Fingers crossed, we eventually find out what's happened to the Shitennou. One of the guys I know from the gym who casually plays SF was disappointed about them not being in the starting lineup. Maybe the four bosses are gonna make Capcom money in a year 2 or 3 package.

Of course son - I gotchu lol

All good bruh! CPT and we go together like R. Kelly and jail

Rose would like to have a word with you, sir.

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! You guys help make 40 feel good. Ready for my AARP FGC membership 😂 I appreciate all of you and this is by far the best group in the FGC!

I would eat the HECK outta that cake. On my birthday. Which is the same as Bison’s lol.

Maybe I should consider it a good thing that my birthday's the same as dictator's?? I'm holding onto 39 quite a bit. There's no going back after 5:20 tomorrow evening!!

Absolutely! I don't have a scanner, but my new iPhone (which I absolutely hate) can take decent pictures. Anyone have ideas on how I can produce quality photos and where to store for the sake of easy viewing for everyone?

I'm getting it! Reserved my copy at GameStop last month - I'll be sure to share the wealth!!

I likes! Now if the Twitter is any indication, they're probably gonna do like the Zangief theme, but this time have Marc Anthony overlaid on the track.

14 seconds in I'm mad that I recognized that Lil Jon sample in the slightly enhanced version lmboooo! My wife recognized it immediately lol

I dunno... I love the music from SFV (and the entire series as a whole) just as much as next person, but I don't need classic tracks to enjoy the SF6 music. The hip hop influence I think is par for the game and the musical production value is actually pretty high, especially listening with my ear buds. Zangief's new theme feels very much like something I'd expect in a post SF3 world: hip hop beats, with a house sound all while having that Eastern European sound. I danced to it and it's a fun theme. I feel like all the returning characters definitely have great themes that fit each character differently. Terayama-san and company knows how to make every theme work. As I've said before, we're likely getting classic remixed themes. The development team is looking to please everyone, so hopefully those themes will be packaged with the classic costumes. If not, maybe the themes will grow on some of y'all....? Decided to post the playlist so no one gets left behind lol https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Yw0OA-xSyodcwDoI4YtR1u7WhF8aayx

Two words: Chris. Klein.

That was the best we've ever had by far. I can appreciate independent film makers who understand and respect the canon. Hollywood just wants money by any means necessary.

I don't trust Hollywood to do anything good with Street Fighter. Especially not after that dumpster fire of a movie "The Legend of Chun LI". Just... No.

According to Wikipedia its last event was on June 12, 2021... It's done done. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E3

For some reason reading that as Seth seems to work perfectly

100%. Terayama who's on the bass is composing the music. I mean it can't be a bad thing, given that Luke's theme in the teaser is pretty good right?? And for those who ain't feelin the SF6, I'm almost certain we'll get remixed classic themes. BTW, that 35th anniversary concert was fantastic. Makes me wonder if an album for it drops soon...
