They could also be supplemental (add to the canon of World Tour without conflicting with it - an example of this would be Guile's SF5 arcade ending.) Still, there is no indication of a traditional Arcade Mode yet. Hope they announce it before launch and maybe have it "themed" around this Nayshall tournament even if that tourny appears to take place before the events of World Tour. I think Marisa, Ed, or AKI all have potential to be a sub-boss for JP if he is indeed the final boss. Chun-Li_Forever 1 Quote Link to comment
Daemos Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Eventhubs now confirming that Metro City is not the only city. Jamaica, France, Japan, Mexico, India, and Italy are all in. The scale of each city is still unknown, but I guess there will be a lot of traveling around like the name of the mode suggests. Hopefully they had at least once location each season.

Daemos Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) You clearly don’t know about the hidden detail mentioned in that long forgotten Capcom Secret Files artbook from the late 90s. My Japanese is rusty but in it they explicitly mentioned that Bison “somehow returned” after SF3 and was recovering in the secret Antarctic base of Hexogol. It’s canon I swear! 😄 Edited March 9, 2023 by Daemos Shakunetsu, Dracu and ToreyBeans 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Daemos Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 How do you guys feel about this? If Capcom were to standardize the names, which direction should they go? I guess this may also confirm that the Shadaloo kings on the SF6 Graffiti wall were in fact Dictator and Boxer not Dictator and Claw. Which is a shame as I really wanted Claw in but I guess Boxer may be more popular. Quote Link to comment
ToreyBeans Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Interesting that Nakayama-san’s asking about Boxer. After all, Nash got his standardization and… Why exactly would he ask without purpose, unless maybe he’s gonna make it into the game as well? I say Balrog. I get the whole Mike Bison angle, but honestly, he stopped looking like Tyson shortly once SSF2 got released. Feels like his own man nowadays. Pivoting just a bit, I’m glad to see most of the (S)SF2 characters in the starting roster, but I will admit… Even though the game thankfully takes place after SF3, it doesn’t feel like it does. Maybe it’s the lack of SF3 characters? Whatever it is, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyone you guys wanna see on the roster? Here are a few requests that would work for me. A lot of em we haven’t seen in a while: SF2 - Fei Long, Balrog, Vega, Sagat, Bison SFA - Birdie, Sodom, Rose, Dan, Sakura, Cody SF3 - Sean, Necro, Hugo, Remy, Q SF4 - Rufus, Abel, C. Viper, Seth, Gouken, Decapre, Poison SF5 - Laura, Menat, G Edited March 10, 2023 by ToreyBeans My iPhone’s notepad is very unfriendly… Quote Link to comment
Daemos Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 My only issue with standardizing the US names across all regions is I want them to definitively either drop the M. in M. Bison or formalize it as Master Bison everywhere. Otherwise the Japanese names IMO are the way to go if it were not the insane amount of pop culture behind the US names. I prefer the Japanese naming scheme honestly even though the US names are ingrained in my brain. I think they need a utilitarian approach and go with the lesser of two evils. Another advantage is we can finally canonize Mike from SF1 as Boxer. 22 minutes ago, ToreyBeans said: nteresting that Nakayama-san’s asking about Boxer.

I think Boxer and Dictator are the next SF2 characters after Akuma. Hope this won’t impact Dudley’s chances as he one of the coolest SF3 characters. think they should pace the SF2 releases over the next two seasons. I’m dying to see them because we’ve been waiting decades to see how SF2 looks after SF3, but I understand that some characters from Alpha and 3 need to make it in. the next 3 seasons is that lead into the Super rerelease are gonna be so exciting!

There is room for a 5th and final season but it would be tight, which would mean SF6 can break the record like SF5 did by giving us 46 characters from 45. The bottom most right and left slots could be for "random select" or just left empty. With 46 characters, we can have another 1-2 new characters and 4-5 more returning favorites. 5 years of support seems more than reasonable given the success of the SF5 platform. Exciting times indeed! Edited March 10, 2023 by Daemos ToreyBeans 1 Quote Link to comment
ToreyBeans Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 That’s ton of slots lol! They may keep the character select screen for the next 5-7 years.

Daemos Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 25 minutes ago, DarthEnderX said: Vega, an actual Spanish name, is a fitting name for Claw. It's a common Spanish name today yes, but it is a very old word Latin word with roots in Arabic and links to Astronomy. It makes sense that the first SF character that can literally become a large ball of fire be named after a star. Balrog fits him too but it will further increase confusion. M. Vega is the way to go in English. Everyone @here go vote naaaahw!!! ❤️ Quote Link to comment
ToreyBeans Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I remember hearing about the basis of dictator's name being Vega related to astronomy... But if I didn't know that, I'd have way too many questions. Like why does this guy even have a Hispanic name and he doesn't seem Hispanic like at all?? I told my wife who doesn't follow SF at all about how dictator is called Vega in Japan and she said it doesn't make sense. Claw dude is Vega to her. M. Vega just doesn't hit that spot like M. Bison does. Bison sounds like the name of someone who rules with an edge of ruthlessness. Edited March 10, 2023 by ToreyBeans Quote Link to comment
Daemos Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) See when I hear Vega I actually hear Bega as in Bega sama or Master/Lord Vega. Bega > Vega though. But Master Bison is an acceptable compromise even though Mike Bison makes the most sense for boxer and it honors a living legend Tyson.

I'm old enough to remember him!!! 😄 The polls are very much in favor of the US naming scheme for better or worse. I would've preferred if we get the Japanese names as I said, because these are Japanese characters and it would honor the decision of the original creators before marketing got involved.

The worst case scenario for they keep the names as is but officially make Boxer Mike and Dictator Master. Which I think is the most respectful approach. But I think they may be getting ready to pull the trigger on this one with everything becoming more and more globalized. Which if it's the case, we will sadly have to go with US names.
