Quite literally the only new character remotely interesting. Hopefully she is a charge character.

Hm, I find at least four of these newcomers pretty interesting, from a visual standpoint at least.

No, that was Phantom. You can see her design in my avatar. This is another character related to FANG.

She might have changed her name after becoming the leader. FANG changed his name too before he became the "FAng of the NGuuhao".

@Skort sounds like Juri is in the initial roster!

 

Like there was any doubt best girl is gonna be back !

 

Her visual design is too damn good to skip a SF game going forward,i always said this. I'm honestly surprised they didn't cash in on her via DLC but no way in hell am i complaining. 

 

I really hope her 3D model does her justice because Chun's new model is ok-ish....needs a few tweaks, though not terrible.

No doubt at all that she'd be back, but I'm surprised she's not DLC. Juri and Akuma are like free money for Capcom.

I guess they weren't confident that their new generation roster would sell the game (look at them they are hideous!), so they brought it in the DLC cash cows early and doubled down on the WW.

Not fond on the new roster it has a lot of SF2. 

 

Sean, Alex, Makoto, Dudley, Adon and Sodom should had been there.

 

Look's like Sean, Yun and Yang wouldn't make it again because of Jaime. I don't mind the Lee brothers not returning individually.

 

Zangief, Chun and Deejay Redesign is okay with me

[elliephil]

Are all the boss characters canonically dead now? It looks like there is maybe 3 "evil" characters in this roster. Juri, AKI, and JP (kind of looks more like a character related to Q or G tbh, a true neutral character?)

[Mr.Cipher]

Capcom will probably just do the safe thing and include the 8 WWs (+ Cammy and probably Juri) into every game going forward, they probably want this as a Core

It is just a safe move to do.

 

Also why the F does Ed have the german Flag? I kinda had in my headcanon that Falke had it because she was made in a Base in Germany, could be for Ed as well.

Also where is Falke? 

[Skort]

Juri and Cammy are pretty much main stays for every single SF game going forward in my opinion.

With Falke they messed up the Bison DNA splicing so she aged faster and changed into a man. She also grew very fond of the colour orange during that transition and decided a cane would fit her new look better than the old staff.

 

Speaking of, I wonder if JP is the new boss. Would be cool to have a female boss in the form of that Chinese lady, but she gives off more "right hand of someone important" vibes than true boss status.

[Vhozite]

I just woke up and those costumes are sick. 10/10 designs for most of them

 

i still have my doubts on the drive system but I’m in love with the aesthetic of the game. This is what I e always wanted from SF style wise

[elliephil]

Mariza looks like the boxer stand in for now. Wondering what this means for Balrog in the future. I think he is pretty popular so I would love to see his design in this.

 

Mimi looks like a slightly more stylish female Abel. Sambo attire and all.

 

Lili (Lily?) and Kimberley, I can't quite figure out what they are about yet.

 

JP looks interesting and reminds me of Q and G. Tall, stylish, not quite as obvious what his whole deal is compared to the other newcomers.

 

I hope A.K.I is the replacement for FANG because this look is actually fire. So cool. Cruella vibes.

 

Dee Jay 👏 

Edited June 3, 2022 by elliephil

[Vhozite]

Also I never liked DeeJay but he looks too fresh in that artwork

[Skort]

 

Her new look is honestly great. It goes back to the SF 4 design and adds it's own twist to it. It still incorporates the spider theme while also giving Juri a bit if pink hair that she has in her SF 5 premium outfit.  Honestly i am very happy with this new design.

[delete_me]

I think the spiky bracelets feel like a step too far, but it's a minor detail.

 

I'm more intrigued by her playstyle either way. She was one of my main characters in SFIV but I dropped her really quickly in SFV.

[elliephil]

 

 

The more I look at this clip, the more the drive impact looks almost exactly like Ryu's sf4 focus attack.

 

I love the style and sound of this game based on the trailer.

She's MMA and leaker even called her "wrestler", pretty sure she's going to be striker/grappler hybrid, something closer to Abel

 

So far, closest to a boxing rep is probably Ed  (followed by Luke that is MMA but does 90% punching stuff)

 

Hope as soon as possible we get Dudley

Ok, that shows how quickly you just glance over them.

But in my defense I noticed them first around her ankles here, where she didn't have them in SFIV.

 

Edit: I think it's also the neon turquoise colour that throws me off.

I'm glad Ryu's look evolved a bit. He is a mix of Ryu + Gouken now in both looks and gameplay. 

 

It fits him quite well.

I gotta say I really don’t care for Chun’s new look. In a game where lots of character are getting cool redesigns Chun couldn’t be more generic looking.

And they looked dumb. Her design was literally "Evil Chun", and thank god they moved away from that in V. And now they're giving her that shit again in 6

 

But hey at least they didn't cover her feet, Capcom knows their fan base

Has anyone heard anything about cross-platform play? The only good thing about SFV being exclusive to PS4 and PC was that everyone could play everyone. Now that the series is multiplatform again I hope Capcom remembers that splitting the playerbase would be a huge step back.

There's a big enough distance between making up fictional characters that happen to be Russian and what's going on in Ukraine that Capcom has nothing to worry about, really.

 

Still, I was thinking just yesterday about how Capcom seemingly decided back in SFV to stop mentioning the characters' countries of origin, like how Falke was obviously German but it was never stated explicitly, or Rashid, or Kolin, and how this decision seemed odd back then but with the war in Ukraine it actually makes sense for them to keep statehood away from the characters, just in case. A very rare instance of corporate cowardice having a point once in a while.

 

And then the very next day I find JP, the Russian aristocrat Putin placed in charge of occupied Ukraine.

I wonder if you can commit war crime in-game just like they're doing in real life.

[Skort]

Since a lot of info dropped at this Sony event can we expect maybe a playable demo at EVO ?

90% of the reason I hate parries is that it shits on projectiles. If they could implement it in a way where it didn’t dump on my favorite thing in FGs I wouldn’t even care

 

That said SF6 looks to have no comeback mechanics. It hurts but I’ll take that trade every time

From what I understand they're linked to a resource, so while you could theoretically parry projectiles it's probably a huge waste of meter doing so. I don't expect this to be a popular usage for them, except maybe for characters like Gief.

[elliephil]

In 3s, the properties of parry being a 10 frame window was mad annoying. Being able to OS it into kara throws and confirms was ridiculously annoying. Projectiles in general were just bad in 3s due to their high recovery and lack of damage. I think having parry tied to a resource will force you to be more wise with how you use parry, since you won't be able to mash a guess parry in the middle of strings or wakeup without the risk of losing that resource that lets you do everything else.

 

Did anyone see if there were low and high parrys?

We know the input, I don't think this is the case. 

And it honestly makes sense lol, it spends meter.

 

The one thing that concerns me about the drive system is how fast it regenerates.

 

We already know you can Drive Dash on a successful parry. Sounds like FADC in neutral-tier fukkery again, except it spends meter, the opponent takes no damage because it's a parry, and the dash goes further.

 

Capcom keeps getting creative and sadistic in their quest to make me stop flinging shit like a deranged monkey. (No offense to Evil Canadian.)

They’re linked to a resource but successful parry replenishes the drive bar. Throwing a projectile that gets parried means you’re feeding the opponent. 
 

Edit: Also there is the dash you can use after a successful parry

Maybe it does feed or maybe the amount you spend is higher than the one you regenerate, like how they handled V-Shift in SFV.

 

I wouldn't write the feature off just yet, and I say that as someone who doesn't particularly like parries either.

[Skort]

I hope the game has crossplay between all platforms,i don't want to see the playerbase divided. 

 

It's highly likely that PC and Xbox will have crossplay in my opinion.

After SF5 having people with meters and extra nonsense, goddamn its nice to see SF is back to an actual system.
