Any thoughts on the recent Street Fighter 6 News from Tokyo Game Show?
Oh GOD okay there's way too much stuff to go over and I don't really pay attention to the gameplay / competitive side, but some impressions
Tumblr media
I'm still actually kinda shocked that they are really, 100%, not even half-assed or full-assed but ten-times-the-assed, taking Street Fighter to the future, coming off of IV and V. In retrospect, those games now feel like stepping stones necessary to get the franchise (and fighting games as a whole, because they all gravitate around Street Fighter's rises and falls and always have) back to a place where a project this massively ambitious could happen, and I'm still very much scared to get my hopes up even though every single trailer exceeds expectations.
I really cannot think of the last time, or any time, where a fighting game or Capcom game has been this upfront and downright brazen about all the stuff that's gonna be in it. They're not drip-feeding us gameplay modes or character reveals, the latter of which being, what, the main source of hype generation every fighting game's coasted on since IV revived the scene (or since Smash Ultimate broke sales records). It's like they are very well confident in what they're building up to here.
Tumblr media
A small thing that I didn't notice until now but makes me really happy: All the character wallpapers in the website get their names written uniquely. Every character gets their own font on top of unique visual effects! I love this! I really, really love this, ever since I saw it in Marvel Super Heroes and MvC1 I have always wanted this to be a thing for more fighting games and more things in general. Blanka gets goofy electric monster font! Juri's looks like sinister Korean handwriting, while Dhalsim's looks like Hindi cursive. Ken gets The Batman title font mixed with Guy Fieri fire and it's a complete 180 from Ryu's calm paintbrush logo. I have never been able to gush about this before because I'd rarely seen this outside of those MvC games I listed and I love it so much, it's just, such a small thing that gets taken for granted so often. I love and always will love font choices being picked to reflect characterization.
A big thing that this trailer's highlight: Putting aside the character customization of it all, which is very cool don't get me wrong and definitely a long time coming for the series: You get to train with the World Warriors and this, more than anything else so far, really cements how seriously they're taking this. The World Warriors growing from competitors to champions to masters is something the series has been teasing and building up to for so long and only kind of living up to with some of them, so having ALL of the original World Warriors fully-fledged masters now and treated as such is already incredible, but the fact that now you get to actually train with them as part of a story mode?
It's everything, man. Everything I wanted, everything I needed, everything they should do and should have done, everything and more. It feels like they had to wait for the potential of game development to progress to this stage in order for this to possible, to actually progress Street Fighter into the real next big breakthrough for the series after SF2. This feels like the ideal world version of Street Fighter 3 more so than any of the SFIII games ever did and I say this as someone who likes SF3 and didn't just start calling Third Strike the best SF game ever after watching one EVO clip like the rest of you posers.
Tumblr media
Couple of roster thoughts I missed the first time: I like Kimberly! She's super fun and expressive and well-animated, she's got a pretty cool gimmick, she matches really well the feel the game's going for, and she's a pretty inspired modernization of Guy's urban ninja shtick. I imagine she's gonna be an obnoxious nightmare to fight against because that's how it usually is with characters like her. I don't like her pants though and I'm kinda frustrated that we were like, this close, to finally getting a black female character in a Japanese fighting game that wasn't weirdly sexualized to some (or a thousand) degrees but, fine, the character works well and made a wonderful impression regardless and I'm glad she's become an instant fan favorite, debuting along the other fan favorite nonetheless.
Little to say on Juri other than she rocks, she looks the best she's ever looked, the new facial animations works WONDERS to sell her personality, I'm glad they scrapped everything about her V design other than her bike and phone, and her new design is brilliant. It goes back to everything that worked about her IV one but looking like that design got taken through the shredder. It's like 10% Taekwondo uniform and 90% punkass k-pop fetish maniac. Could not be more perfect for her.
We all caught you slipping those gratuitous feet shots in her trailer, Capcom. You can’t be blamed for giving this character’s fanbase exactly what they want, but you ain’t that slick.
Tumblr media
Kinda goes without saying that all the characters are looking better than ever but, man, E.Honda looks great! I like E.Honda! I don't think most people like E.Honda and they never give him interesting things to do but I like him and I think the series would be worse off without him. I'm loving his change of outfit and oh man he’s another character who’s really benefitting from improved facial animations, LOOK at that kabuki scowl. 
Love the new weight to his animations, how it looks like they’re emphasizing the kabuki side of his design more, as well as playing up the idea that he’s this jolly freak holding a title way below his skill level, who loves fighting and globetrotting and making friends and promoting his bathhouse too much to realize how thoroughly he’s undermined his own mission of making sumo a world-renowed sport by breaking every single sumo rule there is and could be. 
E.Honda is the equivalent of a world-class chess player, diehard chess fanboy and globally-famous chess promoter who was never crowned chess champion, because he fought every chess match he ever played by eating the board and playing checkers instead. I will never get tired of having this big beautiful idiot around.
AEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOO BRASIL-SIL-SIL BLANKA HD MAIS BONITO DO QUE NUNCA
I don’t wanna get my hopes up too much but I really, really love that Blanka wasn’t left out as one of your story mode masters, and that you will in fact get to learn how to fight like him. I love his new gorilla-esque design (and he’s dressed in the Brazil flag colors too), I’m so glad that apparently we’re leaving behind the days of Blanka being the side character to Sakura and Dan. LOVE that his new voice actor is latino, and that so far the game’s marketing has done so much to emphasize Blanka as a big goofy sweetheart. Also love that the Blanka-chan dolls are a part of his gameplay now.
I love so much that Blanka’s grown up and gotten a job as a jungle tour guide, and that they took basically his joke storyline from V, with him getting cheated with mass-produced Blanka-chan dolls until finding a way to kinda sell them in Japan, and developed it into an actual story and extension of his growth across the past games: He’s trying to get famous with those dolls and his new job so he can provide for his mom as best he can. It’s adorable and sad at once and I can’t wait to see what his story role looks like.

KEN I’M SORRY ANYONE EVER DOUBTED YOU INCLUDING ME

Sudden thought that came out of nowhere
If the Street Fighter 6 roster can text you
what's stopping them from making a group chat together
imagine the chaos that will inevitably ensue from having Ryu, Ken and (inevitably) Akuma in the same group chat
IMAGINE THE BLANKA-CHAN MEMES OR E.HONDA POSTING FOOD DAILY.
what if luke and jamie just trash-talked each other 24/7 through the chat-
eh its never gonna happen properly considering at least one character in the roster is a semi-retired Interpol agent and another one is a wanted criminal with zero dress code for shoes
whatever every fighting game from now on needs to have you text the playable roster as a side-mode i think if I could actually text with people the likes of Happy Chaos, Taokaka, Kukri and get sent memes back as responses I'd probably live in the best version of Earth
