Well...The trailer looks interesting. Seems like there's a create-a-character mode that they're focusing on heavily, and the cinematics make it look like tag battle is a possibility. I do wish they'd hire an actual graf writer or someone who could refine the graffiti graphics style. I loved the sumi-e style of IV, and graffiti for 6 could be amazing, but it looks super half assed in the trailer.

After seeing the trailer and hearing the soundtrack this is one SF I ain't playing.
Well back to playing KOF 98.

Ps5 and ps4? Cut me out, even with its new konquest mode.

It looks like they went on Fiver and found a 14 year old that just got Procreate and a graffiti brush pack.
Also that music is fucking terrible. The Japanese know how to make good rap but they always insist on using the most generic plastic sounding garbage in their games and movies. It can be cheesy but it needs to have that goofy charm that 3rd Strike had.

A looooot more information on the official website for anyone who gives a shit:
https://www.streetfighter.com/6/en-us/
The mechanics seem like a grab bag of stuff from previous games (alpha counters from SFA, parrying from SF3, a variation of Focus Attack/FADC from SF4). Chun's parry is pretty great. She swats attacks away with her hand.
There's a "drive gauge" that gradually refills automatically that handles a lot of the mechanics in the game (including EX moves apparently) which means that EX moves have been separated from the super bar which is interesting.
There's an easy control mode (Modern mode) where there's only 3 attack buttons and a "special move" button like in the Gamecube version of CvS2. They've tried this a hundred different ways and it never really has any impact on people's desire to play fighting games but I'm just glad they didn't completely fuck up the game for everyone else (cough Strive cough) to try to make it easier for people who don't give a shit anyway.
"World Tour" (the open-world nonsense) is apparently a single-player mode. I don't have particularly high hopes (unless they brought people in who know how to make a decent open-world game) but single player shit isn't what I care about anyway. I mean if they did something that was like Yakuza with SF combat (or even the equivalent of like a Tekken Force mode) it could be dumb fun but yeah... Capcom doesn't exactly have a great track record with that shit.
"Battle Hub" looks like it's their version of the overly complicated online lobby systems that Japanese developers seem to love. If it increases the amount of time between me turning the game on and finding an online match, they can fuck off. Shit's a waste of time in every other game that's tried it.
They're ripping off the "custom commentators" thing from Yatagarasu. They brought in famous American and Japanese FGC commentators who will do "live" commentary throughout the fight (right now there's only one of each but I'm going to assume there will be multiple people eventually). As long as you can turn it off (because they 100% guaranteed will get repetitive and irritating quickly), it could be a fun little nugget. Desperately needs IFC Yipes though.
I will say in looking at actual game footage (the commentary trailer has a bunch of actual gameplay), the character models are... strange. They're clearly better looking than SF5's play-doh people (in both detail and fidelity) but there's something kind of shiny and weird about the models. Can't put my finger on it.

Togas are hot in Japan this year?
Meh.
The in game models look wack to me. Another missed opportunity for something in the XRD vein.
Music is garbage.
Not much I like about Street Fighter, has made it into this game so far.

Sure, you all talk a big game, but the only one stuck up enough and sufficiently jaded to absolutely never ever buy this game or play it or probably even watch it be played is me.
I watched SFIV being played for like 10 minutes. Did a couple of rounds with Guile…never touched it again. I wondered how SF could become such a big budget turd. Someone explained to me that Capcom Japan was so broke they sold SF to Capcom US and…I walked away forever.
It really is that easy.

Personally I'm still stuck in a time loop limbo where I keep thinking IV came out only a few years ago, only to wake up and realize it's been 14 years.

I love the art by and large. The trailer looked like hot trash, really embarassing, fuck modern fighting games

Oh and the new caracteres are vile looking sub kof afterbirths (though I think the Italian shootfighter looks amazing design wise)
Edit: actually the artstyle is pretty shit looking a little closer. Akuma looks like someone's uncle on the Avatar cartoon show. Blanka wtf, fuck it can't be bothered.

They're fucking awful. Except the black girl with the walkman. She looks almost like a Power Stone character for some reason.

It would be the Star Wars Special Edition version of SFIII. Art made decades later by people who were six years old when the OG was released. Whalers on the Moon.
But then I’m in the minority these days because I don’t want the rules my games changing. IMO, Chess should just be Chess, not Chess ver 114.11783b.

Still better than the shit I see today. I don’t think you’re in the minority with that thinking but as a fan of kof, tiny tweaks and a new character here and there is fine by me. I liked kof2k1.
