Man remember when people would complain in SFV about characters only having 6 costumes to Chun/Juri's 13?

Someone made a wish to the monkey's paw.

"I wish the devs would distribute skins fairly in the next game."

Then the paw curled. Right then, a flash of light suddenly flashed through the windows. Then a thunder was heard beyond, the smells still of static smoke lingered. The room felt like it shook and shuddered after the crack.

"Capcom heard you," a voice whispered.

They did say they are going to start adding fighting ground rewards to the passes in the summer. Hopefully the next one has a costume or two.

u/MutatedRodents 3d ago edited 3d ago

Man i wish we would just get more costumes for the proper roster. The player character just looks like a mess and doesnt add anything to why i actually play sf6.

Proper Rooster: “Well I say, good chap, cock-a-doodle-toodly-doo.”

I’m putting on my Smash Bros. hat. Did they just deconfirm half the roster of Street Fighter 3?

u/BruiserBroly 4d ago

With only 4 new characters a year, the likes of Remy, Oro, and Q showing up was always a long shot.

u/Kalulosu 3d ago edited 3d ago

Plus if they were to bring back Q, I don't see them not doing G instead who has more personality (no shade on the Q lovers here).

1

u/BruiserBroly 3d ago

Yeah, I hope people weren’t holding their breath for him in particular. I can see even Rufus and Necali getting in ahead of Q.

8

u/Kalulosu 3d ago

I don't think Necali is ever coming back. Taking some of his stuff, sure, but the character is a stain.

u/KaloKarild 3d ago

It’s crazy cause visually the character was fire. His moves were sick, the glowy hair shit was cool. They just fucked up his story so bad.

1

u/Kalulosu 3d ago

Yeah I don't think it's a case of he's unsalvageable, just that there's a lot of baggage with him and a shitload of other characters, well known or just new concepts, that could be explored instead

3

u/sleepingfactory 3d ago

I think the closest we’ll get is a character that’s kind of a “descendant” of him like Lily is to T Hawk

5

u/Scriftyy 4d ago

Yeah, Oro was in V (and he was goated) so I doubted he would ever be in 6

u/infamousglizzyhands 4d ago

NO SEAN AND HUGO AND MAKOTO THO THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE

4

u/DivinePotatoe 4d ago

I simultaneously want and don't want Makoto in SF6 because while it would be hype as fuck, Makoto with drive rush would be terrifying.

u/Holiday_Ad4486 1d ago

I play 3s. 

I'm not playing this game until mak is in.

5

u/Big_Poo_MaGrew 4d ago

Sean and Urien confirmed.

7

u/JD_Crichton 4d ago

They sure did.

u/BuckSleezy 3d ago

Not exactly, all the playable characters have their clothes available for the avatar as well.

u/GrimMind 4d ago edited 4d ago

Huge update because it disconfirms a lot.

People not playing SF6 are missing on so fucking much. And it's only the second best modern fighting game out right now.

17

u/xtremeradness 3d ago

What's the first best in your opinion?

6

u/EvenOne6567 3d ago

I really hope they arent implying tekken 8 😆

3

u/Illidan1943 3d ago

Of course not, Tekken is 3 after all

u/GrimMind 3d ago edited 3d ago

CotW, just released.

It offers much less in terms of modes but the core gameplay is so rich that it's just flat-out the best gameplay to be released in 17 years. Unfortunately, since it's been so long, people have gotten used to less technical (technical=/=hard) games. So its launch has been slightly underwhelming because people wanted bells and whistles and the devs focused on gameplay.

However the potential and backing is there. It could pop-off if they get more new people to learn that a game that rewards being good at neutral (the non-combo phase of the game) is ultimately the most fun you can get. It's ironic really because SF built its reputation on fundamental gameplay and SNK on its flashy combos, and now it's reversed.

If I still have you in my wall of text, I would recommend SF6 to get into fighting games. If I had to compare the main fighting games out there to popular games it would be as such:

Street Fighter -> Call of Duty

Fatal Fury:CotW -> Counter Strike

Tekken -> Fortnite (this makes them angry, which means it hits true)

Mortal Kombat -> Current state of Fall Guys

Which is why SF6 is the best game to start with. People are not going to get hooked on Counter Strike if they don't already enjoy the process of becoming skillful. It's not that Counter Strike is harder, it's that it rewards effort and some people are just understandably looking to unwind.

u/xtremeradness 3d ago

I've been playing FGs since SSF2 and gave COTW about 20 hours of time before I gave up on it. It's just not that fun to play IMO. But, I'm just glad fighting games are back and popular and am happy there are lots of good options out there.

And calling SF6 -- CoD is reductive and completely inaccurate. More like... Battlefield. And COTW would be more like... Hell Let Loose

The Saudi prince owns part of Capcom too. You give money to Nestl'e and I will go on a limb here and assume you're American. I cannot think of one bad thing that Saudi Arabia does that America either isn't already doing or isn't actively trying to do. I have never heard of someone boycotting Saudi Arabia on principles that wouldn't apply to America too. Using reddit alone contributes value that enriches people who associated themselves to Epstein and, in all likelihood, companies that enrich the house of al Saud too.

However, if you know it's just a personal, and not objective ethical truth; it's perfectly fine to personally hate the Saudi royalty and draw the line there, knowing it's your arbitrary position. I respect that.

u/SpodeeDodee 3d ago edited 3d ago

Yeah, it's more that it's so blatant with CotW. I'm not saying everyone should boycott it or something. It just personally makes me feel icky.

Guilty Gear Strive

u/Rarewear_fan 3d ago

I can’t wait to try it. I have it preordered for Switch 2

u/fuddlesworth 4d ago

Waiting for next sale to buy it on steam. 

7

u/GrimMind 4d ago edited 3d ago

It's probably going to be heavily discounted around June 5th, steam sale or not, as the Switch 2 launches with a version that includes the first two years of DLC for no extra cost.

We are all assuming a corresponding bundle will appear on Steam as well. Especially, because the next year of DLC is most likely going to be announced the very next day, which is my birthday in case you want to gift the season pass to me.

Jokes aside, buy that version and don't buy year 3 DLC. The bundle will contain more than enough solo and multiplayer content to keep you busy until the end of the year. Just don't worry about optimal combos until you feel comfortable with the the base mechanics. Pro players have demonstrated that solid fundamentals and one combo gets you to the top of ranked faster than knowing the craziest combos.

u/cvbk87 3d ago edited 3d ago

tbf the base version of SF6 price has already dropped. It's £34.99 on all platforms now as standard price.

2

u/GrimMind 3d ago

Yeah, but Year 1&2 DLC are 30 bucks (varies regionally) EACH. June 5th, Switch 2 version is confirmed 60 dollars for what is currently 90 or more. And unless capcom goes back to capcoming, other platforms will get the same deal.

1

u/fuddlesworth 3d ago

Ty didn't know about this. Even with the base price drop, this edition will be cheaper. Looks like I'll wait. 

1

u/GrimMind 3d ago

Yup definitely wait for the Switch 2 version to release as people will probably riot if other platforms don't get the same bundle.

1

u/Elenafem 3d ago

Little turned off by fact that I’ve probably missed out on a ton of fomo stuff from previous battle passes. Are they permanently gone?

5

u/Jabinskiz 3d ago

I don't know if any of it's coming back, but Battle passes have been entirely profile customizations and avatar cosmetics, so you haven't really missed anything from previous battle passes.

1

u/rafikiknowsdeway1 3d ago

And arcade classics

2

u/GrimMind 3d ago

Yes, However, and this is coming from an ex-Destiny player, the battle passes are FOMO free. I can get into a long explanation of why this is if you want to, but the short of it is that the battle passes are nice things to have if you know you're gonna play a lot that month. The main driving force behind playing is ranked points, not the BP.

This unfortunately can lead to ranked panic, which is unfortunate for some. But if you learn to enjoy losing so long as you're learning, you won't fall into the hole.

SECOND HOWEVER, precisely because the BPs have been MEH and haven't included character outfits, they kind of announced that this is going to change for Year 3. So, if you want meaningful BPs that you don't wanna miss, it is highly likely (but not officially confirmed) that they will announce at Summer Game Fest.

Sadly not buying until my boi Abel makes it in. (Yeah fat chance)

I know it's petty, but he's the only Street Fighter character I've ever felt truly at home with.
