Imagine a Japanese company entrusting the role of "Chun Li of the new generation" to a black female character.
Amazing.
Obviously no one will EVER replace Chun Li (duh), but the sentiment & the attempt itself are the real story here.
Unthinkable 20 years ago.
SF6 is W after W
And, now the answer to the question we've ALL been asking...
YES, THE INTRO WALKS ARE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON IF YOU'RE P1 OR P2!
They didn't just mirror the P1 walk for the 2 side; they made 2 animations!
Wait, I was the only one wondering that? Huh...

, from the US to Japan...?
Both sides get to see different stages, too?
That's...pretty dang sick, right?
Cowards: "You know, ninja are actually a Japanese cultural reference, so it wouldn't make sense to have a black woman from New York as a ninja...for the sake of authenticity and realism."
Capcom:
Chun Li, the "strongest woman in the world", didn't get kicked in the kung-fussy 23 years ago for our sins just to be disrespected by a tweet like this.
FINALLY a female character who is shredded and lifts weights but is still cute and pretty. Girls who lift don't all have to be bulky/ manly with that overused side shaved head
Another Fire Emblem W!
It's a throw loop.
There is literally no right answer. It's just guessing.
If the Guile tried to jump or tech, he could have lost even more health, and he would still be in the corner.
That's why throw loops are stupid.
Because they make people who aren't stupid look stupid.
From 1997 to 2022...
Thank you, Capcom, for representing black female characters back in an era when most Japanese companies never would have dared.
And, thank you, Capcom, for continuing to do so today!
Representation matters!

Kim to Ryu: "How'd you like my take on Bushinryu? Unlike anything you've ever seen before, right?"
Ryu to Kim: "Your take on Bushinryu is unique. Cherish those differences."

M. Bison's win pose is different, depending on if he's on the left or right because his shattered hand is always his right hand, even when he switches sides.
Usually poses are just mirrored, but they put in a bit of extra work to preserve this asymmetry in a couple of his moves!
Kim to Ken: "Mr. Masters, can I...ask you about my uncle?"
Ken to Kim: "It's time to drop the spy kid routine. You don't want to dig any deeper into this."

Anytime you start to think fighting games need to get harder instead of more accessible, you need to watch a stream of a new player trying out SF5.
This AT&T twitch event is a reminder that fighting games (even the "easiest" ones like SF5), are HARD AF to 99% of gamers.
Say what you want about the game, but this is probably the greatest Street Fighter roster of all time.
I hope SF6 reaches this level of variety someday.
Step 1: more SF3 characters!
More people need to be talking about how Juri and C. Viper are basically BFFs.
No wonder their SF5 outfits were so similar...matching besties!

Why would you design a character like this?
When Punk can even lose to this in tourney, I wonder how many casuals/lower level players just straight up quit because of stuff this.
Social media era FGC culture is weird.
Instead of saying "this isn't for me" and moving on, people will instead go out of their way to publicly harm others' efforts just for likes.
It's a mentality I just don't get.
I want as many FGs to be made as possible, even if imperfect.
2 independent, simultaneous combos controlled by a single person eventually merge into 1 single 88 hit happy birthday.
There is nothing quite like MvCi!

Aki's st. mp now has 5 active frames (up from 3)!
That means corner throw > DR > st. mp is an auto-timed meaty now! (this used to whiff, because the active frames ended too early)
On hit it's +10!
On block it's +4!
Her corner pressure is going to be even scarier!

@CapcomFighters
Capcom is the only company that can say "don't illegally hack our game to get an unfair advantage please" and have people get salty like HOW DARE YOU.
Like, what is there even to argue about lol
@Axath0th
You can lose even more health for teching if they shimmy you. You lose more health AND you lose drive meter in that case...and then you're still in the corner.
It's just a guess.
