I think this type of duality could be welcome. Sophisticated business entrepreneur by day, and showstopping beast of a fighter at night. 

Agreed. For ages, I had an old goofy idea that down the road, if he joined Slammasters he'd have a Doc Jeckyll/ Hyde/ Tarzan trying to be in civilized society gimmick where he'd present himself as a man of society and flip out into a berserker (only for show), but recently, I've been pushing for a Michelle Chang-like angle where Blanka uses his celebrity (with Dan's marketing help) to be a huge proponent of saving the amazon & nature in general. He'd still be the Blanka we know and love, but a bit savvier, clever, and as HD-Man said, have some revamped moves. I definitely think there a way to keep Blanka along for the ride in SF, but advance his story tiers.

I don't think the alternative - letting go - is even an option. The Original 12* are sacred, and must be protected at all costs! Where there is a will, there is a way to find new and interesting ways for them to mature with us and the times.

*+Cammy. We are also currently reviewing other applicants such as Sakura, Rose, Juri, and are in the final stages of the approval process. Thank you for your patience.

As much i love SF2 and wish it to stay the core pillar of SF future, some can go

 

Imho

 

Even as Tyson fan myself Rog can become story NPC, Dudley is definitely far more interesting Boxing Rep... that was one replacement SF3 nailed

 

Honda can definitely keep have his own heya/sumo stable and get a successor, would love see him train RS Gan who have tons of potential but poor actual sumo knowledge iirc

We already seen him having lot of students (or at least less expert training partners)  in his endings

 

Adding SSF2ers

 

T.Hawk can to leave somebody else (maybe Noembelu, most interesting Doll) the native american gimmick

 

DeeJay can fall in a volcano and let Kickboxing have a good rep

 

While at it, Fei Long needs to return... we waste slots and slots in so much useless shit that Bruce Lee/JKD rep can use one much better

 

PS : Agree on Juri, to me she became essential as SF2ers not because waifu shit, she just fill a role that we should have got even back then lol

Would not be opposed to suit-Blanka being his default in SF6 and his story being that Blanka-chan took off and Blanka is basically a major businessman now...

 

...and of course Dan is still poor and comes begging for money.

Damn dude thought exactly same path, with Blanka-chan becoming a world success and nobody buying Dan shit doll lol 🤣

It doesn't fit his character.  Just like stupid mayor Cody.

Metro City's new mayor being a former street fighter like his predecessor and also a hero of the city like his predecessor makes a helluva lot more sense than Hamburglar Cody. That was, even by fighting game standards, was piss poor at best. So in game full of people that roam a round the world getting into fights. Cody is the only one that gets locked up for it. In the town he saved while being friends with the mayor. Sure.... 🙄

It doesn't fit his current character but Capcom loves to capitalize on meme's for easy exposure. Hot Ryu was a meme started in the west and they pandered to that crowd in Fortnite and SF6. Now they got Blanka on the "glow up/we're not the same" meme and they'll definitely use it again in the future.

 

Prison Cody made 0 sense back in the day, but they made it work somehow. They can easily write something for Blanka who's been a goofball joke character since SFA3.

RE Blanka: He's built on the Wild Child/ Tarzan archetype. He's come back from the jungle and is ready for his next phase. Many Tarzan properties do have him eventually going back to society and embracing some of "civilized" life, while keeping his wild heart. Having Blanka do the same would move things forward. Dude's already got Blanka-chan as a business venture that was rough in the start, but could go somewhere (as indicated that it eventually became really popular down the line in his storymode). It could be something different and fun to shake things up instead of going back to the same ol' same ol. He already made his mom proud, his community likes him, so why not do something fun with contrasts?

 

RE Cody: It's the natural evolution of his Hero>Fallen Hero>Redemption arc. He cleaned up the streets, got too reckless because of a void in his life, went down into a spiral, finally got his act together and wanted to give back to Metro City and ensure it stayed stable after Haggar left. Makes sense to me.

Blanka character has been already been goofy and a joke character starting Alpha 3,  Because of being with Dan and Sakura being establish as his usual companion from Alpha and SF4. So he got a bail from this costume. Yet I do agree not for the default. 

 

Not a fan of meme costume becoming a default. They should be more occasional or somekind of particular to an event in a timeline just like Blanka Chan Costume.

Tbh i was more bothered by Major Cody than i am by Business Blanka

 

Design wise would have really liked see Cody return closer to his FF roots with bit of redesign, i would have really liked something similar to his Sf4 alt without lot of the stupid shit they attached on him, something like this (click on it for normal proportions)

cody-redesign-pic

But i can also see the Major thing, given Haggar's precedent made sense.

I think they should have supported it better story wise though, imho they could have make Haggar seriously wounded and forced on hospital bed asking Cody to take his place, whole situation would have made much more sense

 

Wish he had at least one alt (beyond nostalgia wich is way too simple for today style) kinda like that, instead we got a comical joke one (Haggar like Story Alt) and another that repeat the suit up gimmick (Battle alt)

 

 

About Suit Blanka idk, as much i HATE the idea of SF stuff being meme popular in the west as something that Capcom care about (see beard Ryu wierdos) shit got potential in my eyes, and not because bunch of douches on twitter are making jokes about it.

The idea of suit up Blanka remind me how Tarzan got dress up as a Lord in England, plus let's not forget in SFV we see Blanka WANT to start the blanka-puppets business and hope to have success, even to the point to travel to Japan for a better audience 😄 

 

Plus at this point it may refresh the character, give his story a turn

And when are we gonna see  Marlowe as a playable character ?  It isn't out of the question looking at the fact that Kolin was pretty much in the same position before being playable. 

I remember, Before the first time I have seen her without knowing Cody backstory and not being translated yet. I thought she was Poison in disguise. lol

Weird seeing ppl hate on Mayor Cody, the whole story from him being a fighting delinquent bum, then criminal then reforming and becoming the true hero to the city he was always meant to be is glorious. He had a whole ass full circle character arc that many characters never get 

It's a good closure arc for his character, if they turned him back to prison again that would be a terrible character direction.

Cody ending up mayor is a decent closure to his arc since he gets to save the people of Metro City from the biggest threat of all.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

High taxes.

 

Skort, you just set up the perfect premise for Final Fight 4. First there was the Mad Gear Gang, then the Skull Cross Gang, and now the most fearsome gang of them all......the IRS!!!

 

Final Fight 4 final boss......

I think it's hinted she's Jessica or something. His story certainly makes her seem like someone from his past looking out for him. At least, that's what I gathered from it. If it's not Jessica, I don't know who else might be. Cody doesn't have any history with anyone else. Even if it's not Jessica, Marlowe really isn't just what she looks like.

Agreed, the way they constantly obscured her face and Cody's arcade ending make me think that's true:

 

"That man is now a mayor struggling to deal with the policies, petitions, and plans that clutter his desk. From the clutter though, shines a smile from way back..." the panels show Marlowe smirking and then there's a close up on a post FF1 picture of Haggar, Cody, Jessica, and Guy. It would make sense though, her keeping an eye on him for her sake and Haggar's as well as a way to get to know him again.

 

 

Edit: Also, I feel it's hinted at with some of her dialogue.

 

"Please, Mayor Cody! Mayor Haggar, who previously held your position, asked me to do my best to support you in taking on this job. But if you can't handle the responsibility, then I'm not doing what I promised him.

TBh if you read comments seems large majority of us accepted Mayor Cody direction, it's not much about be a "Mayor" in the traditional sense, it's more like the title of protector of the city and heir of Haggar legacy

 

Personally i have  only doubts about  kinda weak execution of some aspects of this change, and on general a lack of substance/purpose in something that could have LOT of cool potential

 

Kinda related... Just give me Avel/Death, and suddently Mayor Cody (and guess Luke, who hate terrorism and lost dad in explosion) suddently have an enemy that make Belger looks like nice guy lol

 

Casually walking in the city a solo wrecking like nothing remnants of Mad Gear Gang...

https://www.fightersgeneration.com/nz8/game/capcomfightingallstars/capcom-fighting-allstars-death-finalfight.jpg  capcom-fighting-allstars-death-phone.jpg

...then calling to say he placed a gigantic bomb in Metro City  (plot of Capcom Fighting All Stars cancelled game)

 

Dude could be an awesome SF6 Boss, aesthetic and attitude would be very different from Bison, Gill, Seth or G, would create good variety in the villain gallery

Plus dude remind me Top Dollar (The Crow villain), and Top Dollar was awesome

I most definitely enjoyed reading about them. Do you stil do them ?

Sorry I'm way late, I'm pretty sure I promised this like a month back.  I've been kicking this one around for bit. I'm not exactly satisfied with it though. I think the inspiration for this character is obvious but I'm curious to see who picks up on it. FYI That was the closest I could get to her look in the SCV Create A Soul. I had to invert her primary colors because half the things you try to color white in SCVI end up as shiny silver or gray. I couldn't apply a pattern as work a round but at least it allowed me to simulate leather clothing.

Origins: Celina was born in Poznań, Poland. Her parents were automobile engineers. When she was 12, her parents moved to South Korea for work. Being unfamiliar with the Korean language and culture, Celina was initially an outcast. Their confident happy daughter slowly sunk into depression over the next year. Her parents became concerned about her. One of their fellow foreign co-workers, an American, suggest they sign her up for martial arts. It would give her an opportunity to bond with kids her own age outside of school. So, at age 13, Celina began training in Soo Bahk Do.

Although she was petite, Celina was blessed with powerful legs. They allowed her to excel and quickly outpace the novices in her class. She wanted to enter tournaments, but her parents were wary of their daughter fighting. After some back and forth with her parents, they compromised. Celina began to enter several non contact, form based, competitions. She saw fast success. Celina wanted to expand her knowledge and began training in the Nine Kwans of Taekwondo.

 

By the time she graduated high school, Celina had won multiple championships in form based competitions. This drew the attention of Hitenryu Productions (Fei Longs film company). Celina would work her way up from extra to stunt woman to full blown actions star.

At the height of her stardom, Celina suddenly disappeared. Despite her box office success, she was unsatisfied. Some of her contemporaries questioned her ability since she lacked any real combat experience. None of her championships were from full contact competitions. She wanted to prove that she was a “true” martial artists. Donning a mask to hide her face, Celina would star fighting in the underground fighting scene. Her kick heavy offense and hidden face saw her be dubbed “The Mistress of Kicks.”

Zen Art 2:

 

Box Office Smash – B,D,DB+2K (Counter): Celina deflects her opponent's incoming attack with a left leg strike and counters with a barrage of blindingly fast kicks.

(1x80, 1x70, 36x5, 1x120)

  • 450 Damage

  • 150 Stun

  • 4 Bars of Z Gauge

 

Reasons to be in SFVI:

The revelation of Celina's success in the underground fight scene sent ripples through the movie and martial arts community. Many of her detractors were suddenly silent. Multiple studios approached her with lucrative film deals. However, the one offer she received that intrigued her was an invitation to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

 

Notes:

  • Celina's unique attacks, sans the Scorpion Kick, are all references to a type of dragon.
  • Celina's special moves are references to loss references to certain martial arts films.
  • Celina's Zen Arts are general references to movies

 

Celina's Movies:

  • Prelude to Midnight
  • Fight For Victory
  • Asia O'Shanassy
  • Martial Justice
  • Sun Prince
  • Angel of Vengeance
  • Dragon Maiden
  • Fury and Honor
  • Rage and Glory
  • Unstoppable Force

Tone: Celina is an ambitious, confident, yet humble. She enjoys overcoming challenges.

 

Origins: Celina was born in Poznań, Poland. Her parents were automobile engineers. When she was 12, her parents moved to South Korea for work. Being unfamiliar with the Korean language and culture, Celina was initially an outcast. Their confident happy daughter slowly sunk into depression over the next year. Her parents became concerned about her. One of their fellow foreign co-workers, an American, suggest they sign her up for martial arts. It would give her an opportunity to bond with kids her own age outside of school. So, at age 13, Celina began training in Soo Bahk Do.

Although she was petite, Celina was blessed with powerful legs. They allowed her to excel and quickly outpace the novices in her class. She wanted to enter tournaments, but her parents were wary of their daughter fighting. After some back and forth with her parents, they compromised. Celina began to enter several non contact, form based, competitions. She saw fast success. Celina wanted to expand her knowledge and began training in the Nine Kwans of Taekwondo.

 

By the time she graduated high school, Celina had won multiple championships in form based competitions. This drew the attention of Hitenryu Productions (Fei Longs film company). Celina would work her way up from extra to stunt woman to full blown actions star.

At the height of her stardom, Celina suddenly disappeared. Despite her box office success, she was unsatisfied. Some of her contemporaries questioned her ability since she lacked any real combat experience. None of her championships were from full contact competitions. She wanted to prove that she was a “true” martial artists. Donning a mask to hide her face, Celina would star fighting in the underground fighting scene. Her kick heavy offense and hidden face saw her be dubbed “The Mistress of Kicks.”

 

In her last underground fight, her opponent managed to knock the mask off of her face. She swiftly pummeled him but her secret was out. “The Mistress of Kicks” was revealed to be Celina “The Lady Dragon” Markowski.

Reasons to be in SFVI:

The revelation of Celina's success in the underground fight scene sent ripples through the movie and martial arts community. Many of her detractors were suddenly silent. Multiple studios approached her with lucrative film deals. However, the one offer she received that intrigued her was an invitation to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

 

Notes:

  • Celina's unique attacks, sans the Scorpion Kick, are all references to a type of dragon.
  • Celina's special moves are references to loss references to certain martial arts films.
  • Celina's Zen Arts are general references to movies

 

Celina's Movies:

  • Prelude to Midnight
  • Fight For Victory
  • Asia O'Shanassy
  • Martial Justice
  • Sun Prince
  • Angel of Vengeance
  • Dragon Maiden
  • Fury and Honor
  • Rage and Glory
  • Unstoppable Force

Tekken 7 Adds Polish Prime Minster Lidia To Its Roster This Week - GameSpot

 

 

Actually she didn't cross my mind.

Spoiler

Cynthia Rothrock, her maiden name is Markowski. The special move names are inspired by her movies. Markowski is a Polish surname and I didn't have a Polish character. So I went from there. Too many blondes and her natural hair isn't blonde.

Imagine thinking Cody becoming the mayor of Metro City is against his character instead of it being the natural conclusion to his entire character arc and the only direction the character could have gone without reverting back to recycled plot threads. Couldn’t be me. 
 

And let’s not act like Blanka is some fucking sacred cow that’s meant for serious business only. Just look at the guy and tell me putting him in a suit is ‘too much’ for him.

Same here. I've always loved martial arts movies and when I saw her in Lady Dragon. It was a wrap. I made a point to watch all of her films. I put a lot of nods to her in Celina's character. Her nickname "Lady Dragon", her primary martial art , the Scorpion Kick, her Soaring Madam special was taken directly from the cool attack she did in Yes Madam, and her special move names are knock of name of Cynthia's movies. I could go on....

Metro City's new mayor being a former street fighter like his predecessor and also a hero of the city like his predecessor makes a helluva lot more sense than Hamburglar Cody.

I disagree.  Don't get me wrong, convict Cody sucks, but the guy who doesn't care about anything but fighting becoming mayor makes even less sense.

Especially POST convict Cody.  Who's voting for him?!

Tbh i was more bothered by Major Cody than i am by Business Blanka

 

Design wise would have really liked see Cody return closer to his FF roots with bit of redesign, i would have really liked something similar to his Sf4 alt without lot of the stupid shit they attached on him, something like this (click on it for normal proportions)

Cody should have become the Terry Bogard of SF.  The prisoner gimmick should have gone to Joe like originally planned.

 

Post prison though, I think Streetwise Cody is way better than mayor Cody.  It's a great blend of his FF and Alpha designs.

Speaking of Cody what ever happened to Jessica ?  

 

And when are we gonna see  Marlowe as a playable character ? 

It's implied that Marlowe is Jessica in disguise.

WHO VOTED FOR HIM?!
 

A violent convict that REPEATEDLY broke out of prison!  How did that campaign work?  Who the fuck did he run against?  Sodom?!

 

How is he even free?  Breaking out of prison adds a TON of time to your sentence!

We had a mayor here that was mayor for years, went to jail for corruption, got out of jail and immediately won re-election

 

Now imagine his only crime had been beating the daylights out of violent street thugs that included a guy WITH GRENADES AND TANKS.

 

Yeah Cody becoming mayor actually makes all the sense in the world, especially in the SF-world
