Current Events > Street Fighter 6 looks nice

(+) Yeah! (+)

Looks a little bit slower than SF5, but that could just be because this is a early build. I'm really liking some of the visual changes like hits kind of sliding off the body of opponents when they hit giving the hits more believeable impact. Can't wait to see how the final build turns out. Shame it'll probably be another service type game with tons of DLC instead of a mostly complete product on release.

Where new Rival Schools?

Can't wait for the next 5 re-releases of it

I'm holding out until I learn what the actual gameplay gimmick is. Parry and Focus Attack were great, but the V-system was far too undercooked.

The website and Playstation Blog goes in-depth into it. It's got a "Drive" system with its own bar that self-replenishes over time. If you use it all, you enter a state of Burnout with severe disadvantages, creating a risk/reward kind of system. Using pips on the bar you can perform:

• Parries. With a successful parry you gain some Drive meter back, Perfect Parries offer prime followup opportunities.
• Focus Attacks. Unleash a powerful attack that can absorb enemy blows and break guard, inducing wall bounce as well.
• EX Moves. You do EX Moves with this bar instead of them using the Super meter.
• Dash Cancel. Uses either 1 pip or 3 pips depending on if it's used out of a parry or a normal. You can dash forward as a followup.
• Alpha Counter. You can use part of the Drive gauge to counterattack out of a block.

Also they're giving legacy characters some new shit. Ryu now has an install and Chun-li is now a stance change character like Gen. They also seem to just be generally making the V-Trigger system just normal moves for these characters now.

That all sounds incredible.

Uhh meow

Burnout sounds stupid, but other than that, I like that they consolidated all the new gimmicks into one meter. V-triggers were a neat concept that somehow ended up worse than ultras. I am concerned that, if supers get rolled into the new meter, we may rarely ever see them. Supers being so rare wouldn't be the worst thing to happen, though, and there's not much info on how super will work, anyway.

They did great work with Chun and Ryu's designs, although they make me super duper fucking old.

Luke is still extremely boring. Jamie has a meh design, but his animation is good.

Story mode getting this weird third person adventure nonsense is... I don't care about story mode, so they may as well try something.

Commentator mode is the dumbest thing to have happened this year, but whatever, you can turn it off.

edit: One other concern is that there's all these new universal meter skills, I hope it doesn't distract too much from the meat of zoning.

I think they're going for maximum player expression. You're going to get a lot of characters that fight fundamentally different in the hands of different people based entirely on what style of gameplay they more naturally lean towards. You'll have highly technical players that rarely uses super, and other players that play it safe and poke for the confirm into big hits. And both of those players will be using the same character. If they do this right, it will create this incredible variety that would blow every other Street fighter out of the water.

If they do it right, maybe. That's incredibly difficult to pull off intentionally. For all it's faults, SF4 was great for player expression, and that took a sharp downturn in SFV, although V mechanics had less part in that than just how they designed normals.

The style is so ugly. Fighting games should be heavily stylish like marvel 3 and guilty gear.

All the characters and the world look completely devoid of personality

I disagree. I really dig the urban/graffiti/hip-hop thing they're going for. It's like current-gen Third Strike.

i just don't like how the characters are modeled. the designs are fine, but the models. ryu looks like a doofus.

Yeah, to me SF6 looks extremely unique not just compared to other fighting games but also to Street Fighter itself for the past like decade. The graffiti effects, hit sparks, smoke and the like look REALLY good. The characters don't look bad either to me, the game hits that nice balance of more realism but not being gritty. It's still rather colorful. The only rough spots are those create-a-character stuff in World Tour and close-up background characters. Character models look rough there.

That said, we don't have a definite release date yet, it's potentially a year away from now or more, so they have time to really polish up the visuals among other things. Really hope this game launches fully-featured. Not only a bunch of single-player content but a decent-sized roster that's all fun to play. And good netcode.

^It's nice that they could finally flesh out the fluid effect they've been messing with since SF4.

i made a topic last week about seeing gameplay and im still cumming in my pants right now

It looked slow initially, but a second gameplay trailer seems closer in speed to 5. Either way, I'm excited.
