[Darc_Requiem]

So both characters and tournament mode on August 16th.

[TWINBLADES]

Well Akira looks fucking nice. 

[HeavensCloud]

Both characters look awesome.   Going to be a problem trying to figure out who to play first.

One step forward, two steps back.

 

That should've dropped right after Evo. Like c'mon guys. Making wait 2 weeks for this.  capcom pls!

 

SF6 needs to be "We don't show shit that's not ready to drop now".

[delete_me]

I wonder how that whole standing vs. crouching works. They talked about it as if it means she is doing more damage if you pick the "right" combo route depending on the opponent's state, so it'll be interesting to see how big of an increase it is.

Wow, I was so focused on the bikini I completely missed Akira's story costume. That's one dope outfit.

[Darc_Requiem]

Story outfit is one of her best. Her tracksuit actually looks legit too.

Just from the footage it seems like her upkick special that launches probably whiffs on crouchers, but she's able to link after her shoulder special vs crouchers due to their wider hurtbox.

 

I do not know the move names, that's as precise as I can get.

The Japanese only update to the original game had a sorta dating sim mode that has you hang out with characters of the game. They would appear in different outfits and Akira has one where she’s in a maid outfit.

 

[Sonero]

Her tracksuit does look legit. We'll see how it goes. Let's see if we get some type of hint, spoiler, or reveal of the last character.

 

Unless SF5 is going to last another 3 years, tournament mode is kinda pointless. The thing already has a shifty netcode. Wtf are you really gonna do with it? The Dojo stuff was also basically a missed idea all around.

 

🤔

 

I'm gonna go throw out there that this is them previewing stuff for SF6. Otherwise its mostly shovelware for casuals. USF4 had the tournament mode stuff it went around untouched.

It's from the dating sim mode that didn't get localized from what I've Googled.

It looks like she's loving it.

[Yiceman]

Bonus match woo. That EX fireball she has looks crazy. Like a surprise Balrog EX rush.

Akira deals a lot of damage. 

[Phantom_Miria]

It's Sol Badguy!

 

No, it's Kyo Kusanagi!

 

No, It's Sub Zero!

 

No, it's-

Kenny Omega? lol

[Phantom_Miria]

Oh. It's just Luke.

[Yiceman]

That looks like a Smug character if I ever saw one.

[Darc_Requiem]

Yes all these guest character stans can eat a fucking dick.

Edited August 3, 2021 by Darc_Requiem

[Sonero]

LMAO, they literally put a Douche Bag in street fighter 5.

 

What in the fuck?

 

😂

[HeavensCloud]

Luke looks like a KOF character.

[Reticently]

Not final character slot worthy.

 

Feeling luke warm at at best about that.

[Jocelot]

I like that he can punch out bullets. That's pretty cool.

[HeavensCloud]

Well....I'm excited for Oro/Akira.  

[delete_me]

It looks like they're steering towards a New Challengers angle again with SF6. If Luke isn't some kind of leading figure for that game like Alex was for SFIII then I'd be very surprised after how they talked about him.

 

Can't say I'm too impressed by him though, neither visual style nor gameplay seems like the kind of stuff I'd enjoy.

[Vhozite]

What are you guys talking about?

[Shakunetsu]

 

[BornWinner]

Weird but at least it’s not a guest character. He looks kinda cool gameplay wise. Hope he has some nice costumes because I don’t like his default.

[Yiceman]

This is good, guys, I was just thinking the game didn't have enough blonde people.

 

But he does look pretty fun though, not gonna lie.

[Shakunetsu]

I have mix emotion, I was watching the trailer only,

 

I was ... Wow is that a Slammaster character,  it's that Biff?

hold up, don't be an asshole now. No way KoF makes douchy looking people like that.

 

This guy legit looks like he wears Metal Mulisha t-shirts and drinks Monsters on his way to the gym.

 

Luke legit looks like the guy at the party I wouldn't let my female friends alone with.

 

Luke drinks and drives four wheelers.

[delete_me]

He's basically Ed if SNK had designed him.

[Vhozite]

Jesus Luke has got to be one of the corniest FG characters I’ve ever seen. 
 

Capcom walked into a gym and made the first fuckboy they saw into a character 

[Reticently]

Luke looks like he brings a spotlight when he goes deer hunting, and drives a pickup truck with a pissing Calvin decal and an opague sun shade over his license plate.

[Jocelot]

Luke's favorite comedian is Dane Cook

 

Luke's favorite movie is a two way tie between Donnie Darko and Fight Club

 

Luke has all the seasons of Entourage on DVD

[BornWinner]

Somebody noticed that Luke’s voiced by Kyo’s VA. So congrats on the people that wanted a KOF character!

[Sonero]

Luke legit looks like he puts on modern country music because he swears its good.

This is a huge step up from Decapre.

[Darc_Requiem]

Not a fan of his visual design but his gameplay looks good.

[Reticently]

Luke tailgates for his local Kenny Chesney concert. Every. Single. Year.

[Darc_Requiem]

Just saw Max bring this up.....is he a redesign of Code Holder Luke?

[delete_me]

I think they underestimated people's appreciation of Akira, otherwise they would probably have switched her and Luke around on the release schedule. 

 

That said I'm glad she comes out first, among the three we've seen today I like her the most.

[Reticently]

Akira feeds the homeless.

 

Luke dates the homeless.

[Vhozite]

Boy stop. 
 

At least Decapre looks and fights like a video game character. Luke looks like every other guy I see with a nutsack hanging from his lifted pickup

[Sonero]

Luke looks like Conor McGregor's son.

 

Luke makes it a point in conversation that the Oakley sunglasses he bought were 500 dollars.

 

Luke hanging out with black friends and mispronuncing N words on purpose.

 

 

Best believe I'm gonna buy this guy and force people to look at his stupid ass in ranked. I don't care whether I win or lose, just playing him instantly trolls opponents.

So...

 

Is this the closest thing to putting Ingrid in the game?

[TWINBLADES]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Darc_Requiem]

Luke launches in November....Code Holder Luke's birthday is in November 🤔
