CESTUS III Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Just woke up Can't say much about gameplay but as overall impression Kimberly is a nice design overall, maybe nothing exceptional, but does pretty good job at link heavy with Guy's design while being a completely different char, and at same time is the closest char to SF6 spirit (super urban, spray paint everywhere), giving it a 7/10 Silhuette/proportions are interesting (plus i love slim fit girl with important ass), design bit too busy Her moveset does'nt strike me much, but that was a problem of guy too to some extent... the most "SF" special i see on her are the air ninja suplex, but tbh don't work much on her and her frame, probably would have prefered them give more unique spray can based stuff, the parallel between spray cans and ninja old smoke bombs could have been played on more. Loved they gave her firecrackers as another modern parallel to old school ninja explosives... the inevitable rivalry with Ibuki is going to be fun Juri has been pretty good, did'nt surprised much but i loved how they're basically admitting SF4 Juri is best Juri, and was nice see the Sf4 Ultra return Keep tools and the bike idea from V was right thing to do too Again nothing surprised me, but i prefer not be surprised because everything got done right rather than be "surprised" by bullshit Now give me her SF4 classic alt, or at least a SF4 tribute color on the default one and we're good Stage is the one of SFV prototype that was listed as Fang's stage but never made it Next guess is Ken and Cammy, i expected them at EVO Very curious to see Zangief, Ken and Sim in SF6 style, for newcomers probably JP and Manon are the ones i'm most curious about Edited August 8, 2022 by CESTUS III HeavensCloud 1 Link to comment

Fatal Error XI Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 SF6 Juri has her SFIV normals, with her SFV specials. With a bonus SFxT Juri jump cancel cr.HP(FSE) . I really hope FSE is like the SFIV version, with cancels into overhead, and chains that cancel into ALL of her specials, not just stores. I wonder if that forward dash(which does damage now) is a mandatory part of FSE activation. From what it looks like, FSE is her level 2 super, and her old Ultra 2 is her level 3.

Phantom_Miria Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'm back from having been without electricity the whole EVO weekend. You may notice I didn't say "without internet", no, I said "without electricity". I was looking forward to EVO, but that became a secondary concern when you find out that in the year 2022 it's somewhat difficult to find candles in local stores. No, not aromatic candles, regular-ass candles for light. All of this in the beautiful heat of summer! Anyway, I have to go and check what happened on saturday and sunday 'cuz it seems this was a pretty hype EVO. I've been checking the forums to catch up with what happened and you guys almost made me concerned that Idom won EVO in Street Fighter for the United States. Almost. 🙂 4 minutes ago, delete_me said: Literally never heard of Bridget before today so I checked out the wiki.

As far as I know the official version was always that he was a boy, he was raised as girl for various superstitions, then he became a bounty hunter to see the world but, even though he still dresses as a girl, he explicitly identifies as male. It was never ambiguous with him. Everything was already in the lore. Bigtochiro, Shakunetsu, Darc_Requiem and 4 others 1 2 4 Link to comment

Some of the XX interactions revolve around people being utterly confused that Bridget was a boy too. Think that at least one character hits on Bridget and Bridget stops that shit quick. Forgot who. 😂 I'm mostly indifferent to the whole thing. I'd rather a character be confusing and let people deal with the confusion. Bridget makes you feel some type of way? Its okay. Old internet lore is that Everybody is Gay for Bridget. Testament being more androgynous is pretty cool too. Looking back on it, They/Them kinda fits since Testament is more on gear weird shit than anything else. BornWinner, Hawkingbird, Shakunetsu and 1 other 4 Link to comment

They’re so aggressively annoying about it too. I don’t mind peeps having their headcanons, I have mine too. But it’s not just a fun thing to think about with them. It’s a statement of fact that everyone, even the companies behind the character, just doesn’t see that the character is actually Trans and you’re terrible for accepting that. When you bring up conflicting lore about how the character settles into a single binary, they go mad and call you and the developers of the character transphobic. Dumbest common example I keep seeing is Naoto from Persona 4. Probably one of the easiest stories in the world to understand. It’s basically Mulan but this time she wants to be a cop. Despite the fact that making her a trans man ruins the entire point of her story, which is a criticism of how the Japanese workforce is so male dominated, some people will argue that making her a man would be more compelling. Because wanting to be seen as a competent woman is not enough. Despite the fact Naoto doesn’t want to be seen as a man when the reveal happens, they will still call others transphobic for not buying into their headcanon. It’s so stupid.

Skort Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Some of her normals that returned from SF 4 thank God and some that carried over from both 4 and 5. Her old SF 4 cr.mk animation / pose Her SF4 far st.mp that can also be special cancelled Her st.hp Her St.hk from SF 4 ( the hop she does forward is considerably higher than the one she does in SF 5 ) Her cr.hp ( the pose is reversed with her back to the screen now ) Sry for the low quality shots it's how it screen capped them off the youtube video for some reason.

Skort Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) The specials we saw in the trailer are her old dive kick and her old low fireball, she kept her SFV dp and her medium and heavy fuha ave been reworked while also having EX versions of themselves. I think they only showed EX medium fuha that ground bounces, and EX heavy that seemed to be much faster and enhanced in strenght, i am curious how her EX light will work. They are focusing on making her more close range focused for this particular game. While i enjoyed 3 x fireball in SF4 , i doubt that will ever return to her toolkit. We got the dive kick back and i think they removed ryodsansatsu ( looked cool but pretty bad move ) so i'll take the dive kick over it any day. PS : we only saw what i can only assume was the medium DP that acts as an anti air, i am curious if light and heavy will be grounded like her old senpusha or not.

She has her SFIV dive kick back and her "stored" SFV special moves are no longer trapped behind the mechanic. Her stores now enhance them instead of prevent their use. She seems to be a combo of SFIV and SFV Juri based on early info. Volt and Jocelot 2 Link to comment
Fatal Error XI Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 My guess with Juri is that her flipkick is gone, and now qcb + k will either be store, or release. Since store and release are independent from each other now, she'll need separate commands for store and release. When parry was announced as a universal mechanic in SF6, I knew her SFIV med and heavy fireballs weren't coming back. IMO, divekick, counter teleport, and her normals were the tools from IV that would better serve her in the newer games. So far, I think we're getting the best of both IV and V Juri. Still want to see how she fits in with drive mechanics. Starting every round with EX moves ready, and EX moves not being tied to supers give the impression that the game will be more aggressive. Can only theory fight for now. Skort and Volt 1 1 Link to comment
