HeavensCloud Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Luke looks alright, definitely going to give him a spin. His gameplay is much more interesting than his design. I'm digging the story costume. That Capcom Cup trailer got me more hype than anything. That was a sick trailer. Edited November 23, 2021 by HeavensCloud Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Luke's V-Timer is gonna be interesting. A skilled players could stay in V-Trigger practically indefinitely. On the flip side, if your defense is ass, your V-Timer is gonna evaporate. Phantom_Miria 1 Link to comment

FlyingVe Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 So... I watched the Luke reveal and I don't get it. Why does his gameplay look interesting exactly? I mean, he doesn't look bad or anything, but he looks like a pretty standard SFV character for the most part. Link to comment

Yiceman Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I think the most fun thing about Luke and his "massive impact" on the Street Fighter series moving forward is going to be seeing the developers gradually conceding that they missed the mark and phasing him out of the series. There's almost no chance this guy takes off as one of SF's more iconic characters. I still don't hate him as much as useless characters like Blanka and Kage though. I hope to never see their like in SF6. Edited November 24, 2021 by Yiceman Phantom_Miria, Dracu, Volt and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Three forward moving normals Got a command dash Cool projectile Has zonk punch like Cody which I'm used to already Can punish throws with his VS2 parry. Something different from Shimmy is always nice V-trigger is unique in the sense that it increases the gauge while doing damage and decreases if he gets hit. If he plays his cards right he can keep the trigger going until the end of the round. Overall, aside from how he looks - I think they did a good job with him.

Reticently Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Well, one common criticism is that V-trigger rewards losing, but arguably Luke's V-triggers reward him keeping momentum, and punish him for getting outplayed. I'm not sure the way it's implemented is going to be significant enough to drive that home, but maybe it hints at the design philosophy for SF6. Pair of Rooks 1 Link to comment

mykka Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Luke still looks silly to me, but I really enjoyed his animations, done very well, especially his crouching stance. His back throw looked nice too. Still dont think we needed him in SF6 though... Link to comment
elliephil Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Luke VS2 makes me feels like they are trying to teach some part of the meta (meaty, throw, shimmy) without just saying it. Question, is it too late to try teaching it to new players? 🤔 Link to comment

Phantom_Miria Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Capcom really nailed Luke.

Outside of them intentionally doing some dumb stuff with some of the characters, the newcomers have been pretty well designed. There's a lot of things you can get mad at SF5 for, but I think overall the SF5 newcomers were better than the SF4 newcomers. Think they are almost at the 3S levels of "well yeah, you could've just made them into a separate franchise" type of level. Think if you skipped bringing back SF2 characters altogether and went forward with just the 3S cast + SF5 newcomers, it would've been a dope game. You know what? Maybe that would've gotten me to accept a lot of the wack mechanics in this game. Just take the name Street Fighter and it altogether. 12 hours ago, FlyingVe said: That's not how this works.

Vhozite Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 SFV for me is gonna end up like SF4. There are things I like about it but I can’t see myself playing it for any serious amount of time after 6 drops. Just like with 4, I’ll probably convince myself it wasn’t that bad, boot it up, then remember why I hate it 2 mins into labbing. FlyingVe, Volt, Mattatsu and 1 other 4 Link to comment

The most I need to do is either save up for a PC or get a PS4 Pro so I can Strive harder and better. SF6 being a PS5 game pretty much kills it for me unfortunately. I got a PS3 and for SF4, got a PS4 for SF5. SF6 would have to be Guilty Gear Strive levels of fun for me to consider it. By Strive levels of fun I mean that if my DP hits counter hit I get to erase somebody for their audacity. If not, well I'm staying Bullshit BLAZING. Volt 1 Link to comment

Anyway, people are saying she's missing her abs from past games. Yes her voice has always been grating. Also she is missing her abs. It's similar to Blue Mary. She's was really fit, slightly more buff than Cammy, in sprite form but they she has noodle arms in 3D. I like her KOFXV model but I was hoping they'd give her back her fit physique. Better than her KOFXIV model at least which was ugly with noodle arms. Edited November 25, 2021 by Darc_Requiem Phantom_Miria and AriesWarlock 1 1 Link to comment
Mr.Cipher Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Well SNKs Sprites were excellent work after years of experience. They are still pretty new to the 3D models, at least they look much better than in XIV. And they focus currently to make the correct areas look good first. Volt 1 Link to comment
