Ken's SF5 outfit with his hair and face fixed!

 

 

Stage: Temple of Ascension (reminds me of Sekiro which is cool)

 

Costume: My mains aren't in SF6, but a possible sub could be Zangief, so I would probably choose his Gladiator outfit, so he can be a fitting teammate for my Marisa. 😊

I want the SF4 diner stage to comeback. Lowriders on hydraulics and everything. That stage was dope.

[Dracu]

Most of V's original stages are kinda crap. New Zealand at night is probably the safest choice. I think Brazil would be my pick, tho. That was a beautiful looking stage. 

 

As for costumes, Ken's SFV one for completion's sake. Guile's SFV main too, tho maybe with the sleves only rolled up to his elbows.

 

Blanka-chan is an obvious one 😂 and THE GIEF!

This stage is SF4 to me. Only one I can remember besides The Grid lol

[Shakunetsu]

the temple and seth stage is kinda memorable in SF4 but the rest are kinda bland

Overpass was great! Music memorable too.

[Dracu]

4 had some pretty nice stages, but it might not come trough because of the general engine they were using. Having no set stages for the characters didn't help either. V didn't either but you could tell they were coded to most of the cast. Put the 4 stages into sprite form and they'd be pretty great. 

 

Snowy Railway deserves a comeback. The Construction site too. If you count the X Tekken stages too, the Eclipse in Africa and Mad Gear Hideout are *chef's kiss*. 

 

From 5 I remembered the London stage. That was great too. 

 

But we all know, if classic stages are an option, they need the 2nd Impact ones. They would fit 6's aestethics perfectly! 

 

[-PVL93-]

Personally I always used the fishing boat at evening stage, whatever it's actually called. IMO it was among the nicest looking in the game and had good visual clarity 

 

The drive thru at night stage looked beautiful but actually playing on it felt terrible because of the neon light overload (music was great tho)

Oh shit how could I forget the overpass. That was another favorite “meet me under the bridge we’ll settle this there!” vibes

Is there any character you are looking forward to come back?

Makoto and Cody are the big ones (the fact that this game is taking place in Metro City and after SF3 and neither of them are in kills me), but G, Menat, Rose, and Gill are others I wouldn’t mind seeing.

I had a hard time even remembering some of 5’s stages and after looking, I only really liked the ‘Ring of’ and remade stages. I think Hillside Plaza could have a beautiful remake though. Also Temple of Ascension for Akuma.

I’m 90% sure that Blanka-Chan is already in the game. I would also like to see Honda’s story costume, Juri’s battle costume, Luke’s story costume, The Gief, and B-Boy Ryu.

I liked Metro City Bay Area and Hillside plaza...it would be cool if they remade Skies of Honor in a way that didn't make people upset/actually ill too lol

Instead of fighting on the wings make it inside the plane with windows in the background so you can see the scenery change? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[HeavensCloud]

SF4 Stages I liked Overpass, Morning Mist Bay and Snowy Rail Yard.  The SFV stages I like are mostly just from older games: the Honda bathhouse, Field of Fate and Castle stage all look really good.  Third Strike Yang and Ibuki's stages are S tier.  

 

Now that I think about it, I just like stages with not a lot going on in the background.  Something simple and scenic without distractions is the best imo.

I’m the same way and part of the reason I mostly stuck to The Grid early on in SFV was hating most of the stages. They really stepped it up with the non “Ring of”  DLC stages tho so credit where it’s due.

[Dracu]

I don't mind "distractions" in the background. The Capcom Cup stages are all pretty good. But I really think what hurts modern day SF stages are the low quality background NPC's.

 

Like, you have this highly detailed models fighting and behind them these human-shaped ballons. Sure, in the sprite based games the NPC's were also lower quality than the actual characters, but they felt more at home, like people on a painting.

 

I think this is certainly a point that could be improved in the future. Just having some high quaility cardboard cut-outs might actually be preferable. 

 

Or at least have them be far in the background, not front and center where you can notice how bad they really look.

[JustBooming]

Both Makoto's and Ibuki's 3S stage would look amazing in 6, I reckon.

[AriesWarlock]

bring it back

I think I agree. In SFV I found a lot of the busier stages aggressively distracting. The Lair of the Four Kings was probably my least favorite because you had these robots and ninjas chasing each other across the stage like Scooby Doo, made Shadaloo feel more like an amusement park rather than an international crime syndicate.

 

I think my overall favorite stage was Temple of Ascension. Cool atmosphere, kinda ominous and had some cool stage music.

Bring back the REAL GOAT stage of SFV!

Rashid, you will bring a lot of evil to this game when you return

 

but bring back skies of honour

 

punish the weak for their crimes against the best stage in SFV

[misterBee]

SFV beach stage was tight.

 

I also didn't have an issue with SF4 Volcanic Rim because I'm not colorblind / my eyes work properly.  🙂

@EvilCanadianWho needs motion sickness when the clear blue skies, clear ocean waters, and anime swimsuit chicks are calling your name, screaming at you as you beat the crap out of your opponent

 

 

[JustBooming]

As soon as we got the option to choose char themes over stage themes (in Super?) I chose those, but some of the stage themes were pretty good, listening to a few now through nostalgia goggles: 
 

 

But now and again, we need to be reminded of:

[Sonero]

Characters from the open beta are the same from the crack.

 

which means that some time before the game comes out, dudes are gonna have 3 days to check all the stuff from the crack in the open beta.

 

All this talk about the unfair advantage is a big ol' dud.

 

LMAO

[Flackaveli]

Open beta is cool for the people who didn’t get the chance to try out the first two betas, having said that same 8 characters 💀

[JustBooming]

Prerequisites and more info on the beta here: https://www.streetfighter.com/6/ob/en/ 

 

"The release version will be further adjusted and will feature updated character balance, etc.
We ask for your understanding."

[Jocelot]

I'm cool with the same 8 characters tbh. It's already so close to launch it'll make the full game feel that much better imo. 

[BornWinner]

 

Once again, no France stage.

 

 

[EvilCanadian]

I have seen the light of Honda, Manon, Lily, and Marisa

 

how can I go back to these 8 losers

The game is a month out, so I've made a new thread for it.

 

This thread is for GAME DISCUSSION ONLY!

 

If you want to talk about non-SF6 stuff you are now required to use the Fighting Game Lounge thread:

 

 

Or you can go over to General Discussion.  There's a lounge thread in there too.

 

Don't hate me.  I don't make the rules...no...wait.  Yes I do.

 

Makes sense and it's fair enough. No complaints from me.

 

With that said... Next Beta was announced. Let's see how y'all and this netcode hold up against a real Brazilian Ken

lol on god I had the REDACTED on my rig for a minute and I never bothered with it bc the characters don’t interest me at all. Literally every character I’m interested in isn’t in it lol

 

Im still gonna play it I guess I’ll try Ken or Chun

[JustBooming]

I'm genuinely interested in over half of the cast. I'm unsure about Guile though. His standard booms seem so much weaker.

Open beta niiicce.  And I'm finally available to play this one.  Didn't get into the first one and the second one I got in but then had to travel and missed it (and I was pissed lol).

No word of a lie

 

every single non-beta character is infinitely more interesting than the beta characters.

Zangief and Lily are both mislabeled.

 

Zangief should 100% be listed as easy, and Lily, who is a resource build and burn character with weird movement options should be listed as normal at least, not easy.

[Vhozite]

Who is more devoted to their waifu?

 

Like for @Chun-Li_Forever

Insightful for @Skort

[BornWinner]

On one hand, @Chun-Li_Forevershows up to any Chun sighting like a bee to honey and shows it more frequently than our resident Juri lover. On the other hand, @Skortbecame an artist because of Juri and a majority of his works feature her. It’s a tough call, but I’ll go with skort.

I want to see the stages of New Generation/Second Impact come back. I know Ken's boat from that game appears in the pier in Metro City in World Tour. Here's hoping the back alley (Alex stage), the chinese restaurant (Yun and Yang) and Remy stage show up.

Maybe Rashid plane one, but i'll be fine with anything new too for him, as long sell me arabian vibes (and Azam watching the fight if Rashid is in)

 

But as general thing i miss from SF2 days the idea each char get personal stage, so for now i will like see stages for these characters that are already in but seem to have no stage that fit them

 

KEN - give me the Eagle Company where's working in SF6, with Eagle cameo of course
Atmosphere may be bit like this SF4 stage, was cool

Spoiler

 

JURI - would be cool see a night street stage for her, maybe rave party with bunch of people wearing neon and shit.

Her motorcycle parked there if she's being selected, and  if she's not one of the two selected fighters have her sitting on it watching the fight laughing when somebody get fucked up lol (think SFV when she was having fun watching Cammy punching Decapre)
Atmosphere wise would love something that remind me Remy's stage but asian

Spoiler

HONDA- give him sumo ring, would be ok with a variation of this CPT one, but without the CPT bullshit

Spoiler

 

ED- i know he's not out yet, but i definitely want NeoShadaloo place in Germany with heavy Fall-of-Berlin-Wall vibes, and all NS rejects and wierdos watching the fight
