I still don't have a Playstation 5 so I'm probably going to miss out on the early access when it drops this summer, but it still looks good. The Cammy design is fucking sweet and Zangief busting out a Jackhammer puts a smile on my face.

What is even the story? I didn't really find the narratives of 4 and 5 to be particularly interesting, and a lot of characters didn't really seem to serve a purpose as a result. What's everyone's take so far?

Also, close and/or delete this if there was already a thread for this.

I actually wanted to make a thread on this but just never got around to it. Really excited by what I've seen so far.

Marked out hard for cammy having that move from the animated movie.

Going to have to learn stick to play this.

I think I'm going to main Cammy this time around, unless there ends up being a character like Falke from Street Fighter V where they're easy to control.

Going back to Juri for sure since she's getting sf4 stuff back. The gladiator chick looks cool too.

Juri was my secondary in Street Fighter 4. She was wild and chaotic and wasn't a complete chore to learn. They changed too much with her in Street Fighter 5 for me to bother. I did like how her Pinwheel Kick was changed to be more anti-air, though. I probably could have tried harder to learn her, or anyone else for that matter, but once I got the hang of Falke, I didn't see the need. If they get her back to what she was like in the fourth game, I'll likely give her a go. If nothing else, she's always a great design for clothing.

Of course, the new characters are also tempting. Like you pointed out, Marisa looks cool. It's like they saw Rhonda Rousey and said, "Could be beefier". Not sure how intimidating a dude called JP is going to be though, but it's good how we're getting more than just 4 new characters from the beginning.

Fignuts

Might be foolish optimism, but I'm still hoping the last 4 characters from the leak are in the game as hidden characters, or even this game's equivalent of the 4 kings.

From wikipedia:
_________________________________________________________
Street Fighter 6 features three overarching game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.[1] Fighting Ground contains local and online versus battles as well as training and arcade modes, all featuring similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. World Tour is a single-player story mode featuring a customizable player avatar exploring 3D environments with action-adventure gameplay. Battle Hub acts as an online lobby mode, using customizable player avatars from the World Tour mode, with other features set to be revealed in the future.[1]

The main fighting gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is based around the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. The gauge can be used for five different techniques, requiring players to choose which to prioritize. Most of the Drive Gauge's mechanics are based on previously existing mechanics from previous Street Fighter mainline games, such as Parry, Focus Attack, EX move, etc.[1] The game features three control types: the "classic" control scheme has a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous entries, the "modern" control scheme assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input,[1] and the "dynamic" control scheme, which is only allowed in certain parts in the Fighting Ground mode, but is not allowed in online battles, uses a single button auto attack layout, based on what range is performed.

The use of multiple super combos returns from the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, also counting the Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. However, each character only has three super combos based on their respective level gauge. For example, Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, Shin Hashogeki and Shin Shoryuken can only be used at Level 1, 2 and 3 respectively.[2]

A real-time commentary system is a brand new feature in Street Fighter 6, where English and/or Japanese play-by-play and color commentators watch the action in real-time, giving it a more tournament-style feel.
______________________________________________________

It's always struck me how fighting games continue to come up with new things but I never would have thought we'd approach open world-esque gameplay

The roster as it stands now. 16 was the same amount as Street Fighter 5, but with more new characters:

Blanka
Cammy
Chun-Li
Dee Jay
Dhalsim
E. Honda
Guile
Jamie
JP
Juri
Ken
Kimberly
Lily
Luke
Manon
Marisa
Ryu
Zangief

Dee Jay making a comeback is a surprise. I'm going to be a bit of a buzzkill here as I've never really put much importance on having the "original" 8.

Destor
03-24-2023, 11:57 PM
The game looks outstanding. I love zangief has more of an Eddie Hall physique instead of his usual bodybuilder look. And two grapplers at launch is also dope. I lean toward either zoners or command grabs so it looks like I'll have a ton of options

M-A-G
03-25-2023, 03:28 AM
Well, seeing as this is going to end up on the Playstation 4 after all, it'd probably be for the best that I just pick it up for that console instead of dropping 600 on a Playstation 5. I'm sure it'll be scaled back in some way, but, whatever.

M-A-G

I propose that the first 8 TPWWers who pick up the game immediately get online for a tournament against each other without prior play experience just for shits and giggles.

I was thinking about this and tekken and with mk12 coming out this yeah i dunno if ill pick up either of these. My backlog is absurd and i definitely cant manage multiple fighting games at the same time.

I think though all 3 will be the only games of this gen from these franchises. The live service model makes a ton of sense for sports/fighting games. One frequently updated game across a consoles life span seems like the best way to go. We might see all the major titles dropping in the same year going forward. Seems possible at the least.

Yeah, I'm predicting a bunch of Lady Dimetrescu-esque fandom surrounding Marisa.

I guess now is as good a time as any to talk about the sick beats coming from this game. I don't know how memorable these themes will be down the road, but I appreciate them doing something different from re-doing the same stuff from Street Fighter 2.

I feel like they could have kept more of the original themes in there while still making it sound fresh with the urban beats tone.

As it is, the music is good but not particularly memorable.

Looks and sounds good and all, but I doubt I'd be getting into the World Tour mode. Having easier ways to pull off special moves is very appealing to a dumbass like me.

At the very least, some of them still sound character-appropriate, like Dhalsim and Honda, but, yeah I'm not sure some of them are going to become iconic.

On the plus side, Juri's theme is MUCH better than what she got in Street Fighter 5.

It's better, but her first theme is probably one of the best tracks to come out after sf2. Like, top 3.

So this still makes me sad.

The demo only allows you to play Ryu or Luke.

The demo's purpose is mainly to show off world tour and give you a tutorial of the primary mechanics

04-22-2023, 12:09 PM
Yeah, I was messing around with it this morning after I let it download during the night. 9 GB is pretty big and what we get is fairly generous. Ryu just isn't my bag, but it handles well. The commentary adds to the experience, too.

The EO (easy option) controls for Capcom vs. SNK 2 were the only reason why I was able to beat and unlock Shin Akuma and Ultimate Regal on the Gamecube.

Forgot which of the two were the hardest but even with EO controls both were still a big hassle to beat even on easy or normal difficulty.

Fignuts
05-19-2023, 10:52 PM
Played some guy who was clearly using easy controls.

Playing a fighting game online for the first time in three years, without any time to practice and see how juri plays, while using a stick for the first time, and all that with a disabilty in my dominant hand.

Still went 5-1 with classic controls.

Jamie is an absolute blast to play. Didn't get 10 seconds into training before someone challenged me. Lost the first match pretty quick, but figured him out enough to beat my opponent the next few matches.

He basically gets more options and stronger attacks the drunker he gets. So fun.

Tried kimberly but wasn't really feeling her. I wish they would have had a proper training mode for this but I'm guessing they wanted as many people as possible in the battle hub for stress testing.

Still getting used to the arcade stick. Gonna take time.

This is a very well made fighting game with very honest gameplay. The focus on neutral reminds me of SFxT, and I do well in games where good neutral gameplay rewards you.

When occupying an arcade alone you can access training mode until somebody challenges you. Really helped because I found out by mistake, I just kept challenging guys until I decided to take a spot to wait and there was the option.

Chun-Li certainly feels like Chun-Li. Has some weird new stance though. Gotta experiment with it more to get a better handle on its usefulness.

Can't wait to really dive in to this game. Feels sooooo good even with my shitty awkward stick gameplay.

We've all wanted to experiment with Chun-Li....:shifty:

I've never been comfortable with arcade sticks, but I think I'm making the right call getting this for a Playstation as opposed to the Xbox. The controller feels better for fighting games, I think. Well, maybe just for Street Fighter because I had no problems with Mortal Kombat 9 or Mortal Kombat X on the Xbox consoles.

Fignuts
05-22-2023, 01:04 PM
Xbox has the best controller for shooters imo, but dualshock always felt better for fighting games.

A large portion of my time playing Tekken was at the arcade, so I feel very at home playing it with a stick. 2d fighters are a completely different beast and I'm going to be flailing about for a while until I get the muscle memory.

Yeah the new patch speeding up the process for unlocking alts is very good but still insane at him needing 18 hours just to unlock 1 alt because he played his first playthrough normally and wasn't purposely fishing for alt unlocks.

Like Smash Bros had some very grindy requirements to unlock certain people from Brawl and onwards but they had the courtesy of giving multiple options to do so that were not as grindy without needing a patch to help out.

Something like alternate outfits really shouldn't be so much of a hassle. I do appreciate games that at least give a preview of what it is before you make the decision to go for the grind or open your wallet.

Apparently there are some misconceptions on getting the outfits. While it does take a lot of work to gain mastery, you only need to max out bonds to get the outfits, which is a much faster process.

Ranking up is nice and all, but playing competitively against kalyx's cammy is the best litmus test for my progression so far.

We were both dropping stuff though. I read on event hubs that the window for execution, particularly linking in specials and supers is tighter than in 5. Add to that not having really figured out the square gate on this stick and its baaaaad. Got a few nice ones in there. Mainly happy I was able to pull off the drive rush scotum in a match enviornment. Had to have practiced that one for a solid half hour

I think unfamiliarity is what caused me to be so successful with Decapre in Street Fighter 4 and Falke in Street Fighter 5.

While I have made zero progress towards new costumes or colors or whatever, I have, in fact, started my own club for the sole purpose of having ManonsMyWaifu under my name during gameplay. I regret nothing and don't ask me to do so.

Not for nothing, I have been digging the music of this game. I really enjoy the themes of Manon and Marisa. This will be a good thing to have on the background while I'm busy with something.

I'm not feeling it to be honest. Taken out of context as a stand alone album they're very well made tracks, and I do like them, but I feel they're all just a bit too chill to be background music for street fighter.

Im waiting for them to add more old school tracks so I can create a playlist.

He seems like he's more of a goofy idiot than before but there are some sweet moves in there. I never really gravitated towards him in the previous game so I don't know how much time I'll spend with him this time around.

Yeah, I'm usually in a rough spot when I fight a Guile. I took him through the arcade mode to get a feel for what he can do so I can learn any weaknesses. I like how they basically made one of his V-Triggers from 5 into his second Super.

I remember one fight I had in Street Fighter V against a really good Rashid player who really fucked my face with a strategy revolving around his flying kick. He's easily capable of running circles around you in that game and it looks like they built on that here. I need to get back into things, hopefully tomorrow.

Udon comic confirms that A.K.I. uses poison as most suspected. Also mentions a "master" which is obviously F.A.N.G. Thankfully she seems like a more serious character with a much cooler design.

Wanted to get back into this but I'm deep into diablo and death stranding right now, and september is going to be fully booked thanks to starfield and MK1.

A.K.I. stuck out to me from the get go, and at the very least I'll jump back in when she arrives.

I feel like the only person in the world who didn't mind F.A.N.G. and actually liked his design. It stood out and it's always nice to see new bad guys. Could I play as him in any competent fashion? No. Was he top tier? No. Would it be the greatest if he returned for this game? No....hang on, I forgot where I was going with this....

Starting things out well enough with a 6-win streak, including 2 Perfects against a Ken and Luke, the former of which went cheap with the throws in the first round. Going to see how many of these today I want to save and upload.

Outside of spawn camping, how is it not?

And I say that knowing most games have evolved some sort of dynamic and/or variable spawn points to alleviate such behavior. Spawn camping is bullshit, but just finding a vantage point to see a high traffic area and take out anyone target who happens by? That's what snipers do. They don't run into the battlefield and pirouette before shooting without using their mounted optics to show off their gun or supposed skill.

I always figure that somebody spamming a certain way (throws, camping, whatever) they're basically telling you how to beat them.

Tom Guycott
08-23-2023, 12:58 AM
Prob'ly. Most people find one way "that works" and continue doing the one thing until it is discouraged by one means or another. It's just that people automatically equate "camping" to "without skill". You do it in a video game, and people whine about it. But you do it to a bunch of Nazis coming into your snowy country, and you become considered one of the greatest marksmen in history.

I know this is a tad early to discuss, but with the next DLC character on the way, I was going over in my head as to who else might be on the way in future seasons. A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma are ready to drop for this season, but what's in store for the future? I made a list of previous characters and pondered how likely they'll be included down the road for this game. I'd like to see if any of you think differently.

Sagat: This guy is on the tongue of almost every player as far as who they want. He seemed like a waste in the previous game, but they started something with him that has room to pan out here. I'd be shocked if he never pops up, so I'll rate him 'Very likely'.

Sakura: With Ryu seemingly elevated to a status where he seems like a master, I don't see why she wouldn't be included as she's always wanted to be trained by him. I'm imagining some serious Drive Gauge combos from her. I see her as less likely than Sagat, though, as it looks like we've got plenty of youth-leaning characters already. I'll give her a 'Somewhat likely'.

F.A.N.G.: I wouldn't mind him, but with A.K.I. coming in and Shadoloo being a non-factor I don't know where he'd fit in. He gets a 'very unlikely'.

Ibuki: She seemed so out of place in the last two entries. She's a fan favorite, though, so I'll have to go with a moderate 'likely'. I could see her really benefitting from the Drive Rush mechanic.

Falke: I mean, Ed's going to be in it and they seem inseparable, but I just don't see people being that enthusiastic about her inclusion. I'll go with a 'somewhat unlikely'.

Balrog: His chances of being in are much higher than Falke's if we're talking about people who are connected to Ed. He gets a 'likely'.

Crimson Viper: Would the CIA have an interest in JP and his shenanigans? Her story and motivations seem to keep her shackled to Street Fighter 4. I just don't how they could bring her into this game's fold in a logical and interesting way. "Somewhat unlikely".

Dan: It'd have been hilarious if he were one of the "masters" you meet in World Tour mode. It could still happen! "Likely".

Vega: Like Viper and F.A.N.G., you'd need a really good explanation for his involvement. Of course, he's a legacy character, a popular one at that, so would it really matter? "Likely".

As far as new characters go, I'd be interested to see a character who is a student under Sagat. But unlike Adon, who is angry and disappointed at Sagat for his loss to Ryu, this character could be angry and vengeful towards Ryu and be on a mission to stand up for Sagat, hoping to gain approval or what have you. I don't know. What's on your mind?

Someone brought up the idea of her poisons affecting the Drive Guage. That'd be an interesting twist. Not sure how much it would break the balance, but it'd be a callback to Omega Red back in the day where he could drain either your health or super meter.
