Seems we can learn a 1 special from Rudra and 1 from DamnD (too bad is'nt the Tornado Throw) too

That hat is going to look good on my Gouken, Joe's tornado beside Joe itself is going to dramatically improve my Cody too 🤩

Terry's Quotes

 

Terry to Ken: “What’s wrong? Your attacks are lacking their usual fire. In fact, they’re lukewarm.”

Ken to Terry: "Man, I can't help but get heated up myself when you're bringing that kind of heat."
 

Terry to Ryu: “I can feel the weight behind your punches. But mine ain’t so shabby either, right?”

Ryu to Terry: "Fighters like us don't need words to communicate. A fine battle."
 

Terry to Lily: “You think my burning fists are spirits? Nah kid, this is all heart and fire!”

Lily to Terry: "A wolf blessed by the spirits of fire. That's the kind of warrior you are."

 

Terry to Zangief: "You might be able to fight bears, but this wolf doesn't flinch!"

Zangief to Terry: “Hungry wolves have no chance of tearing through this body of iron! Gahaha!”

 

Terry vs Rashid: “Letting the wind do your fighting is pretty unique. I let it tell me where I’m headed next.”

Rashid to Terry: “I haven't had a fight like that in forever! Remind me to record everything next time!"
 

Terry to A.K.I.: "Man, assassin that uses poison? Really, get away from me, ugh."

A.K.I. to Terry: "Don't worry, I won't do anything. So long as the wolf doesn't dare tread on the snake."

 

Terry to Akuma: "You're one scary dude. Gotta be careful not to end up like you."

Akuma to Terry: "If you are not prepared to fight to the death, then leave my presence!"

 

Terry to Blanka: "Sorry man, but wolves don't bark all that much."

Blanka to Terry: "You call yourself a wolf!? Then why aren't you howling!?"

 

Terry to Juri: "Hey, calm down a bit, would you? No need to give me that crazy eye."

Juri to Terry: "Dunno who ya are, but yer giving me some crazy hero vibes, which means I already hate your guts!"
 

Terry to Cammy: "Your movements and decision-making are sharp. What kind of agent were you again?"

Cammy to Terry: "Peculiar fighting style. You've combined several styles, but it's nothing I can't take care of."

E. Honda to Terry: "Yer a hungry wolf? Well why didn't ya say so! I'll give ya something ta eat!"

Guile to Terry: "So that's how a wolf bites, huh? Not bad, but my footwork is unmatched."

 

Terry to JP: "No matter where I go, there's always someone looking to spoil the party."

JP to Terry: "Your ilk are everywhere. Men that so desperately wish to believe themselves on the side of justice."

Jamie to Terry: "Like the taste of those strikes, huh? That's a Jamie Siu original flavor, buddy!"

Bump due page-change 😁

 

It's cool to some extent from Arcade we learn Terry have meet Ken 20 years ago, wich may overlap with CvS days but does'nt necessary know everybody that was there

Like for example  he clearly knows Chun (due Mai rivalry) but seems first time he meet Guile

Which begs the question from where Terry knows "that move"? The way he talks about it, maybe ou Avatar used it on Terry?

I don't think he saw it from Nash or... Remy?

At first i had same doubt, specially because i thought he was talking about Sonic Boom and could not find anything in my memories, then i started consider Somersault Kick and i can see that he likely mean Kim's Hienzan

 

 

Plus Terry and Kim have friendly rivalry going on both in canon games and anime, so make sense Terry feeling something seems familiar

While I don't personally believe in a God, I am always amazed by the sweet irony and dark humor of this universe.

 

People online were frequently complaining about Bison coming back, how Capcom should take a page from Tekken and finally put him to rest.

Well here we are once again, not only is Bison back, but it is Tekken who took a page from Bison/Capcom soon after. They brought back their main villain, even gave him Bison's VA, and even went as far as having him come back after an encounter with that Troll Akuma just like Bison in the 90s.

What kings of fighting are these? Gods among men? Nay, DEVILS! Long may their evil reign supreme!

As the man would say, this is delicious.

Bison has tons of way to return back to life in SF because it was already establish in alpha and sf4

 

from.body swap, clone and body transfer unlike heihachi and his organization that only focud on gene and dna manipulation

 

but Souls and Spirit was never been establish in Tekken. Why ate people trying to justify the likes of Tekken and KOF

 

When SF has more elaborate establish canon about evil organization technological advancement and spiritual manipulation 

 

than Tekken even KOF. KOF is establish better on cloning than SF but not on spiritual aspect like Rugal and the bunch of Nest boss cannot go back to life with the exact cpnciousness other than having to introduce Verse to the games

 

While Bison has Phantom Bison and Rose Soul Power in the mythos

Joe Higashi and Blue Mary in SF6. While it's nice that they teach you one of their moves, it's a pity you don't fight against them. And... Shouldn't Joe be taller?

Also, speaking of TMNT, there will be a rerun of the TMNT event on SF Duel...

[Darc_Requiem]

Yeah I really wasn't expecting to learn Hurricane Upper and Vertical Arrow.  When I saw an NPC give an item for behing hit with Vertical Arrow and another for Hurricane Upper, my brain broke for a moment. I'm guessing Andy Bogard will show up with Mai and teach one of his moves. 

 

Side note: I think it's funny how Blue Mary is trying to get Joe to wear regular clothes. She gets you to buy him a shirt. Joe takes the shirt and gives it to his impostor so he doesn't look like Joe anymore. 🤣

Yeah. That also adds to his goofness. Could it be a sample of how Dan Hibiki will act if he gets added to the game (either as playable or NPC)?

Also, why do you need PLANE tickets to go from Beat Square to Pao Pao Cafe 6? Is it just they don't need to make a facade to PPC on the Metro City open-world stage?

 

Terry mentions that we have a buddy who is a basketball fan like Duck. He probably isn't talking about Sean Matsuda. Maybe Luke? I do remember that there's a place in Metro City where you can parry basketball balls and there's a girl there. Does anyone remember the NPC name?

 

EDIT: Never mind, you actually talks with Baller Mando The NPC throwing the balls doesn't seem to have a name. Don't know if Terry is talking about him.

No idea, one could try use avatar next to Terry and then next to Joe to get an hint about their ingame size

Canon wise they're supposed to be basically same height, with Terry slighty taller (182 vs 180cm)

Beside height if i was them i would have made him bit more muscular/ripped to keep up with Terry's look (but instead as usual they sticked more with generic proportions of NPCs), actually it's what i did lol

Spoiler

dont remember what height i gave him though, guess i'll eventually fix height using Terry as reference, but i'm not working on Joe till i get stuff i need (items and decent haircut)

 

OT Speaking of ingame models Blue Mary have awesome boobs that can't be done with the editor lol

Joe's is priceless, but also Vertical Arrow is very welcome, at the moment is good get more kick specials

Capcom just released this new SF-inspired discord bundle (yes I bought all the Bison stuff).

What I want to highlight is Capcom's choices to rep them to Discord's 614 Million users.

Ryu, Bison, Chun-Li, Cammy, Ken, Guile, Juri, and Akuma. Only Ryu, Bison, and Akuma get the full bundle treatment.

Ladies and Gentlemen, these are your SF legacy characters. This is the core roster of the series. Notice how SF6's  Luke was left out.

As someone as a collector and monitor everything 

 

Now most of the asian merch has now  Ken usually leftout 

 

Some even skip Ryu for luke

 

and Chunli is the one that usually stays a float 

 

 

[Daemos]

They might've been trying to push Luke out more during the first year, which is why they ensured he is top tier. The true test of the character is how they retain players after their initial debut. I don't see Luke going the distance. He's too forced, and he won't permanently replaced the 8 characters I just mentioned.

Next in line after these 8 is probably Gief and Sim IMO, and I don't see Luke replacing them either in terms of brand recognition anytime soon.

Random stuff

 

- Wonder if this

is going to be Terry's third alt at Season end... not terrible not great either

 

- Did'nt seen it mentioned anywhere, Haggar Stadium added some new NPC opponents... nothing exceptional (and don't give exclusive new items as far i seen), kida lame designs actually, but still new

Not sure if anything else is changed in regular world, did quick run around old Nayshall and everything looked just the same, did'nt explored MC beyond stadium

 

- Capcom treat my boy Joe better than SNK lol, going by WTM words seems him and Terry have great friendly rivalry with them being equal in fighting skills (i don't buy it, come from Joe's fan*, but even it being close like Cody-Guy is better than Joe being ever treated as joke buffoon lol), while apparently seem to remember in WTM is said Andy never managed to beat Terry once... even if this may simply hint he have very bad matchup vs his big brother

 

*but to be fair mission make us speak with the fans to know Terry better, so they're not supposed to tell bullshit lol

 

- i find interesting Rudra and DamnD specials don't have EX version, like to imply even with mechanics we're talking about inferior league techniques

Btw i LOVE that now the NPC specials gates are open, Andy next and hopefully King too

Guess at some point Dan's dojo will finally open and even if he just appear as NPC he may still give us all the goods of Saikyo style, after all we already have that NPC with lot of Dan moves

Even if coolest NPC moves so far imho are Bosch ones and Azam's special throw, that shit is amazing

What would really like is some sort of "fight club" place where NPCs teach us their tricks... steal from not playable cast help great the illusion of create unique new char

 

 

- Loved the fake cameos all around Beat Square (even if quality is ever ridicolous low, it's like they don't pretend quality from who's doing these WTM NPC)

also bald bodyguard on the left, but in his case he's supposed to be the original guy, not a fake

Spoiler

 

 

Let me know if i missed any (i'm not counting Pao Pao stage)

not sure about big blond dude called Iron Hand or something similar, could be Big Bear fan but feel VERY loose compared to others

 

Btw if real Franco was DamnD's opponent doubt latter would have reached Pao Pao lol

Good that they went for Ken since MR Karate(Ryo) might be in there at some point and also Marco doing the better projectile game.

 

Good choice for SNK and Ken  might be an SNK pick.

 

I remember myself doing a SF guest character thread in SRK for KOF and Chun and Claw are my main pick because of being unique gameplay along with someone I forgot

 

but I was asked to remove the names because it sounding like a wishlist.

There's a 4th new char, big wrestler with black beard  called Mutasawi, if you win by perfect,  you will get boots with strange color (are "leather boots" but with a color that is'nt avaible, and are listed as "wrestler boots")

Yeah, felt like they made it to set it up lol

After all we already got classic AND MotW Terry, there was no more alt designs to pick
Only other popular/iconic one was maybe no jacket, just white shirt and backward cap

Spoiler

but would have been waaay to similar to classic one to take the third alt slot (all characters have very different looks that stand out), same for long sleeves red jacket

Spoiler

 

ultimately i think if they pick WTM basket one will be good pick, guess they started from an alt color of an old maximum impact costume, the head design feels very similar

 

as alternative could have liked a "Kung Fu Terry" design kinda like in that special ending

like to pay homage to Jeff Bogard's legacy

I think would have helped people realize bit more what Terry's concept is about, guess many going by surface just see him as "another Cody" american like brawler/martial arts mix, where in Terry's case the "martial arts" element have far more relevance... example even if not much explained fact itself his most powerful attacks are about boost his own ki using nature's energy, shows clearly how advanced his technique is and how Tung Fu Rue-> Jeff-> Him played big role on the fighter he became.

The rough street brawler is just tip of the iceberg in his case

By comparision Cody just learned some basic american karate/american kickboxing (we never even knew anything about it, no famous Master etc) and the rest is all pure raw talent, fighting spirit and street experience

The b-ball hat facing forward is likely because it will be sync'd with his Costume 1 so that they can use the animations for him grabbing the hat, etc without having to make a new set of animations since they already did different ones for Costume 2.

Wonder what they will do for Mai's third costume, thinking 1st will be Fatal Fury and 2nd her CotW new look
In theory she have another potential look from MI

but given SF6 trend guess Capcom will just design her a new one that we see in WTM

Some interesting points I was able to find in this;

 

- They went with Ken instead of Ryu because Ken and Terry have history in CvS, plus they feel like Ryu is better off paired with Ryo/Kyo

- Went with Chun-Li because she's 'synonymous with female characters'

- There'll be more adjustments for Ken to help him fit in FF but Chun-Li will likely not be adjusted as much

- Both Ken and Chun will have scenes in both the story and episodes of South Town

- EoST is based off of Alpha 3's world tour mode, won't be open world like 6's

-  EoST will let you learn trivia about the stages that have appeared in the past as well as immerse you in the world of FF

- Popular characters they see get asked for are Andy, Joe, Kim bros and Blue Mary. They say that they haven't seen anyone ask for Freeman, for example 

- No current plans for more Capcom characters in SNK titles and vice versa

- They know people will want a new CvS eventually but they say it's very hard to do, though they're in constant communication with Capcom so they don't think it's impossible

- For now they'd like to recreate CvS in other games such as having Terry in Fortnite alongside Ryu (Oda didn't seem as keen on this though lol)

- There's no set date yet but they'd like to do a beta test at some point

- Says there's nothing stopping them from collaborating with other franchises like Tekken, but it just depends on when the time is right for both parties, as well as the bosses of SNK being OK with it

- They understand that if they go too hard on guests/collabs that fans will be unhappy that their own characters are being held back from making an appearance, so it's about finding a perfect balance

 

That's it I think. Some interesting stuff in here for sure.

There's really no excuse for any of the MotW characters to not return(besides Grant, cause he dead).  There's only 13 of them.

 

The ones that haven't been announced yet are Gato, Hokutomaru, Freeman, Kain and the Kim Bros.

 

I can't imagine Gato, Kain and the Kim Bros. not coming back.  Only Hoku and Free are on the bubble, but they shouldn't be.

I absolutely loved getting Terry and is my fav addition of the S2 behind Elena, but i really hope S3 will be all vets and if there must be a guest is threated as 5th extra char

Correct. There should be balance.

 

Getting upset with Fatal Fury for including 2 of the most popular characters of all time from a FAR more popular and recognized brand that they've crossed over with in the past and that fits into the game very well is just...kind of goofy. These games HAVE to be successful and this is a great way to help boost the games visibility, popularity and success. That said, you have to strike a good balance in both tone and quantity. SF6 having Mai & Terry, for instance, is awesome. MK1 having a hodgepodge of random AF characters from things totally unlike & unrelated to MK is just "Smash Bros with blood" and is stupid and annoying.

If you ever played MK or Tekken, it’s like that. You do all the buttons in the sequence to get the full combo to play out. If you stop before the final button, the full combo drops and you have to start from the beginning. You can’t just do the Power Dunk by itself.

He, no, I know how do target combos.

 

I mean, literally, what are the inputs that get me to Power Dunk?  I assume they teach you in Terry's Character guide, but I can't play it because I didn't buy him.  But I still want to Power Dunk with my CAF.

- Popular characters they see get asked for are Andy, Joe, Kim bros and Blue Mary. They say that they haven't seen anyone ask for Freeman, for example 

I've literally seen people ask "Where is Freeman?" without looking. I call cap on that man.

Bleh.  A MP?  That means I have to use the right bumper...

 

Anyway, thanks!

I've been meaning to ask you guys: what are your thoughts about the remixed themes from CAPJAMS for Rashid, Luke, Chun Li, Ken, Kimberly and Jamie? Do they cook or did you feel they lacked something? Do you wish other classic themes were remixed instead? Definitely curious!

Plus Freeman was'nt even THAT bad concept wise, they just failed at develop him bit more to build him some lore and personality

He delivered well the pure psycho murderer vibes (far better than when they try sell me Yamazaki who seems hyped lol)

No idea about that, where i can listen these to do a comparision?

On general my opinion on SF6 themes is big hit and miss, the further a char goes from SF6 urban theme the more likely they deliver a turd, the more compatible a character is with it the more likely is we get good track

 

It's not that SF6 music is bad, is that it lacks versatility... let's say tracks are 70% SF6 and 30% character, would love if these % were switched

Thanks dude 👍

 

My 2cents

Kimberly- got worse, SF6 basic feels funnier

Jamie- got worse, but tbh Jamie's theme is one of best (fit the char so much) and most recognizable of SF6

Rashid- got MUCH worse, lost all middle east vibes

Ken- i actually liked this, possibly more than the original

Chun Li - completely lost that lil touch of "China", got worse

 

On general feels "busy" like they add lot of shit wich push it further from the chars, where SF6 itself already does it too much lol

I don't mind it.  I have enough remixes of classic themes, and most of them are already in the game.

 

The issue is they're remixes of themes I didn't like to begin with.  It's hard for a remix to change my mind.

 

Sakura's SF4 theme managed pulled it off.  Also Ibuki's SF5 theme.

 

Edit:  I do like Kimberly's theme better though.
