The Street Fighter VI Story Thread: Shadaloo Died so Luke Could Live!

[Darc_Requiem]

Yeah, the one thing I figured they'd have in order is their DLC schedule. They got that down like clockwork in the last few years of SFV. Still I'll take a higher caliber game at launch with DLC content issues over a content devoid game at launch....with DLC issues. 👀

[YagamiFire]

Yup I'm extremely psyched for Ed. Even getting a stick for when he drops since he'll be my main.

The problem is that they could have effortlessly made WTM something that evolve through time without have huge dead time to wait between one char and the other, specially with the weak 4-chars model

 

There's so much already in WTM that is simply locked

@Darc_Requiem

Have you bought any of the new items?

I took the golden bomber jacket and the white-azure samurai pants

 

There are some other i may be interested in, but i want to wait new Fighting Pass first

Nah, I haven't. To be honest, I've been so busy with Baldur's Gate 3, I've barely had time for any other games. I still haven't finished my Phantom Liberty run of CP2077.  I think I may be FINALLY done with all my PC building and upgrading so that'll free up some time. I just have one last thing to iron out in my Intel Arc build. My laptop and main rig are all where they need to be. Although I've been getting the itch to work on my second book....we'll see. I need to get BG3 out of my system though. I've barely touched SF6 since the game launched and BG3 is a huge time sink for me.

Lol SF6 Ed is so far that i should tackle my backlog too... got Ghosts 'n Goblins resurrection,Tails of Iron and Final Fantasy 16 waiting me

 

So far i'm betraying SF6 mostly with Fall guys editor mode lol

[Darc_Requiem]

@CESTUS IIIYou should be able to burn through FF16 pretty quickly. I burned through that one pretty fast and while I had fun. The game has no replay value IMO.

[YagamiFire]

Hey! since it's been quiet I thought I'd throw out this tidbit about what I think might be a design element for AKI

 

We know that Street Fighter often takes inspiration from fight manga and the best fight manga I've read in a LONG while has a character with some definite stylistic similarities to AKI

 

https://kenganverse.fandom.com/wiki/Sawada_Keizaburo

 

Sawada is an effeminate fighter in the Kengan series and I think some design elements were inspirational to SF

 

 

I mean...come on, right?? SUPER similar.

 

On top of Sawada's general look, his fighting style might have been inspiration for another character since it is STRONGLY inspired by ballet

 

In fact, check out his build and stance

 

 

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say there seems to be a lot that might have influenced Manon as well. In fact, visually there's resemblance between Manon's bangs and her...uh...I am not sure what to call her hair tassels that hang down but obviously it is VERY similar to the look for Sawada. In fact, it is like they took Sawada's hair and split it into two hairstyles...one for Manon and one for AKI.

 

(the aforementioned bangs and hair tassel...things)

 

So yeah. What do you guys think?

 

On another note, since you guys all like SF, if you like fight manga in general AT ALL I highly recommend Kengan Ashura/Omega. EXCELLENT series with amazing art.

Edited November 1, 2023 by YagamiFire

[CESTUS III]

Yeah, i think to remember the Sawada thing was discussed already at SF6 launch, it's definitely likely it played a role... plus we know SF is familiar with Kengan, the manga even made one special with the protagonist dreaming about fight Ryu 

 

Plus we seen Marisa have many many winks at Baki's Hanayama, so we know SF6 is'nt afraid of go take lot from mangas when developing characters

 

If you could get a SF6 char heavy inspired from Kengan what would be?

 

Saw Paing would be my first pick, Leithwei still missing from SF, but real reason is i love the heavy Joe Higashi (my fav SNK char) vibes they put on the char. 

Plus a fast light/medium striker that try to land atomic headbutts would be fun 

 

Another is Cosmo, the idea of a male small genius submission grappler wearing full grappling gear that rely 100% on technique to win fights in a field where usually we imagine big slow characters would be another cool thing. 

I know Laura's bjj and Manon's judo broke a bit the trend, but would still be something new, specially if they focus on ground grappling (wifh should have been more a thing in Laura's moveset btw) 

Another cool thing is that could be of any nationality, as just like MMA submission grappling is modern and take influences from many places

 

 

Last Naidan, just so cool approach at mongolian wrestler archetype, and mongolian char is something i truly feel missing from SF

Naidan was one of my absolute favs in the manga so I agree with that big time.

 

Might also be cool to get someone like one of the Wu or Kure characters and have them utilize SnH like Guihun...while also putting Evil Ryu to rest forever by having that character take inspiration from him and adopt some of his moves.

 

Having someone like Agito would also be cool as a stance character to replace Gen by having 2 primary styles.

[CESTUS III]

Yeah Agito is another that would translate very well into a SF concept... specially if capcom could make a char with double personality a la dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde that have two stances wich show two radical different personality

We had Necalli and now Jamie that had something that make them go more "wild" but both seem just an extremization of their normal attitude, while Agito switch from the two opposites, 100% cold technical to 100% wild formless 

 

Another i criminally forgot to add is Hatsumi the floating cloud. 

Damn, he's one that could have been traslated 1:1 and would be an awesome SF char alredy... 

The whole bored/shabby attitude mixed with his immense aikido skills is something i would love to see, even the fact canon wise he's unreliable as depending on mood he may lose with middle tiers then give Agito an hard af fight is very unique  

 

Plus in some way dude remind me one of my fav HnK char Juza, wich likely is'nt even random vibes as Kengan author imho gave Hatsumi the cloud nickname also as wink to Juza. 

To some extent i think as parallel Hatsumi vs Agito was a much less dramatic version on Juza vs Raoh

I was cautiously hype....then I saw they were avatar costumes. I don't care about Sodom to be honest but Haggar not being playable in a Street Fighter game is criminal at this point. I mean even Lucia and Zeku got to be playable.

LOL two of my most soughtout character ever since SF5 S1. looks like they deliberate made them not playable to any SF anymore for some reasons haha

 

I wonder what they do next with Sean the other character that I suspect that Capcom deliberately avoiding to be playable...

 

 

[CESTUS III]

 

My Sodom end up more accurate than this, today i will see if is possible fight off the Haggar's fake suit vibes

 

Wish they just made pants and belt as a single piece without fake skin

 

Fun thing i could not name the avatar "Sodom", i had to switch to "Sodòm" because some names censorship despite the fact they even gave pieces to recreate him 🤣

SF6 Haggar 😁

 

Tried my best to fight off the fake-suit effect

The necklace was supposed to mask a bit the neck suit line, but it move in weird ways without covering much, so ultimately got removed

Gloves solve the hands showing at the wrist the suit line

 

Most tricky part was replicate skin color on the face (no base color match the suit)

Yeah that for clothes (and skin) would be so cool, but sadly it would clash with capcom's greed-based logic

 

Reality is they want to milk same stuff they already did as "new contents"

 

Furthermore in the Nayshall arena tournament mission (Rashid update) some opponents had alternative colors of clothes from the hub shop that you can't dye at all

 

Guess is possible at some point they will unlock a place to dye these too

Alternate costume for Luke ("navy version", LOL).
Well, if there was EVER any doubt about what his primary source of inspiration was... They even directly referenced Popeye ROTFL.

I WANT that costume.

Source.

I'm more happy it seem first dlc one will be basic SFV mma one, but now i want that too 🤣 

 

Wonder when we will get first wave of dlc costumes and when we will see rest of selected ones...  we seen some, but we are far from whole list 

 

So curious about Ryu and Zangief ones

Would be greatand different, after all Standard and Nostalgia ones already cover the Pro-Wrestling side

 

But i can't deny big one on the left would look great too

 

But if we watch all past already selected ones (Ken, Deejay, Cammy etc) seems these panel with multiple alt designs never included the "winning" one, so there's still hope for brain-training Gief 😆

For Ryu then we got two possible hints, but i'm not too sold in neither

 

First is too "casual clothes" for my tastes, second still have the damn beard lol

 

Hope one of these below will be selected, really like  the second but also first is'nt bad

 

Btw proof your theory have some ground is Marisa one (white dress)  indeed come from Master images, Guile too have a very close one as far we can see (but in Master he sport usual haircut)

This is silly lol

 

Considering from the win quotes and other things involving the two, them possibly being more than just rivals and friends? Going further with it is long overdue.

No, as far i know without dedicated moves is purely aesthetic 😆

I just liked the fact it somehow remind the spinachs eating act and you can even go in what seem a powered-up state (you can still go drunk, but you just obtain only that air trembling aura effect with bith of red)

No problem! Though I warn you that the SF mangas are often borderline nonsensical. The KOF Manhua that were made with actual story info from SNK are actually way more coherent. Both have great art though! Enjoy!
