The plot is coming along nicely, the humor is landing, the character chemistry is great, some of the character reinventions are great to see.

I wish it had taken even more, to be honest. A SF game that uses ArcSys's graphical methods to emulate the SF2 anime movie's art style is a dream of mine. I don't care much for SF6's realistic art style. Don't get me wrong, they did an amazing job with it, it's just...not what I was hoping for. I was hoping for an Alpha 4. With modern 2.5D cel-shading.

Popular Post Miðgarðsorm Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Looks like Capcom finally gave a proper name to Retsu's jumping kick. 破戒蹴り Hakaigeri, "Precept breaking kick". That's both a wordplay (usually hakai, when written as 破壊 hakai, means "destruction") and a good reference to Retsu's nature as a "depraved" monk¹ . In Japanese Buddhist doctrine, 破戒 hakai means to consciously break one or more of the precepts. It's a word reserved for the clergy, in this case a Buddhist monk, but it also can be applied to other religions, and in a more broad sense can also mean the breaking of any vow. Tōson Shimazaki's 1906 novel The Broken Commandment's original title was indeed 破戒 Hakai, and here the protagonist breaks the promise made to his late father. Anyway, we don't know what precept(s?) did Retsu violate: his CRI profile just said he was excommunicated for being "turbulent and frequently engaging in private fights", but the list of vows for a Buddhist monk is LONG. If we simply go for the Five Precepts, we know that he likes to drink, as indeed in his Side Story Miharu chastises him because he's drinking sake in the afternoon on a sacred ground where it's already prohibited (lol)... ¹ Capcom repeatedly called Retsu 破戒僧 hakaisō, "depraved monk" (literally, "a monk who breaks the precepts"), even in his recent Side Story, とある破戒僧の旅 To aru hakaisō no tabi, "The journey of a certain depraved monk".

Tbh i love the idea specially because does'nt necessary have much "identity", we can get simple sport/fighting stuff that can fit many concepts Even get just more shorts would help, so far capcom locked 2 out 3 (boxing style and MMA style) of the existing WTM shorts, just because they chosen to put HUGE limits of existing stuff we can actually use Btw i think of main cast only Baki and Jack fight in shorts (Baki with stripes on wrist/ankles that i will like get) Going by most common outfit, picking just main cast fighters Yujiro -> black shirt with rolled sleeves, black pants, kung fu shoes Doppo -> full karate gi with rolled sleeves Goki -> aikido uniform Hanayama -> yakuza suit (or japanese thong) Retsu -> kung fu pants and shoes (think like Fei Long) Katsumi -> full karate gi with rolled sleeves Motobe -> traditional japanese martial art outfit Pickle-> japanese thong Oliva -> various outfits (speedo being most common lol) Sukune -> classic sumo thong, but he also fought some with normal life clothes like beanie, flower shirt and sandals Musashi -> traditional japanese martial art outfit, katana+sheath.

Hopefully was just a very greed retardness test for us as audience lol On other hand i get tons of fun using SF6 editor, i like it as mich as main game. If anything i'm pissed the range of things we can do with our creations (in terma of playable modes and options) is SO limited. Mostly because i think they harm themselves too (as people is less willing to invest money in chars they can't do much with) but they're too stupid to realize it because despite all the dicksucking they got for SF6 nice launch imho we're still dealing with obtuse greedy capcom But have to admit If a piece is overpriced but beyond single brand-char recreation i see it useful for many many creations, then i may spend price bit more stupid Guess will discover soon if i like the offer or not lol Quote Link to comment

He said he's homeless, not that he's poor. Homeless just means you don't have a place to live. And I can believe that Ryu still doesn't, because he simply never bothered to get one. He could have been a millionaire, while still be living on the street due to his lifestyle. 2. Ryu may have had money, but had no idea how to manage or make use of it until Ken took over his finances and gave him a card. Which is a seemingly recent development. He's talking about a scene from the SF2AM, which takes place way earlier in the timeline. So he A. May not have had money yet, and B. May not have had access to what money he had.

Keep that garbage in MK and Tekken. To borrow a wrestling term it's a "Cheap pop" and it's leads to licensing issues down the line. Especially with this all digital BS on the horizon. Can't wait to see some of these character IP vampires get delisted because they don't want to pony up for the license down the line. Disk drive won't be there to save them.

BigMex Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think people are reading too much into what I meant. Being homeless does not mean being poor. There are a lot of people in my city that live out of their cars, work 40+ hours a week, and collect a paycheck. They simply can't afford rent, don't have friends, or family to lean on. Or are too prideful, or stubborn to accept help from loved ones. I know Ryu has money. For decades I was pretty sure that he had a credit card, and cash hidden in his duffel bag. SF6 confirmed that Ken had made sure he was taken care of. When I said Ryu was homeless I meant that he literally lived out of his bag the majority of the year. He chose this path, he could have stayed at his master's temple, and trained in privacy. But he actively sought out the challenge, even if it meant sleeping rough most of his life.

Darc_Requiem Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Ryu takes his Musha shugyō very seriously. I'm sure Gouken expected him to stop roaming around and settle in one place by this point. I don't see him resting in one place until it's his final resting place.

True, Some I know that lived that way in IT industry were called as Digital Nomads. So doesn't really wants to stay on one place or another they are jetsetters.

CESTUS III Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 2 hours ago, DarthEnderX said: 1. He said he's homeless, not that he's poor. Homeless just means you don't have a place to live. And I can believe that Ryu still doesn't, because he simply never bothered to get one. He could have been a millionaire, while still be living on the street due to his lifestyle. He does "In a conversation with Guile published in the November 1, 2018 issue of "Weekly Famitsu", Ryu tells Guile that he has a fixed address, living a normal life when off, and having enough money to fly. Ryu's house also appears in the Street Fighter ZERO3 Drama Album where Vega calls Ryu to tell him that he’s kidnapped Sakura.[70] It's implied that Ryu lives in Tokyo as it's not only described as being Ryu's hometown but in the Drama CD, Ryu heads to Haneda Yamamoto by foot to confront Vega and other members of Shadaloo.[50]" ToreyBeans 1 Quote Link to comment
