Even if Capcom didn't make SF Duel, they still didn't intervene for the BS. So as far as I'm concerned, they still need to atone.
By this I mean we need Elena & Poison done right in SF6 ASAP.

Ed will be playable at Capcom Cup X
Capcom approved that white washed Elena. Nobody who looked at the design saw a problem. Which is concerning. What are they even doing.
Absolutely not, while her original design had straight hair they just got rid of all of her damn melanin.
Pretty much what I guessed. I think we're gonna hear about akuma around march with him dropping in April after Evo Japan.
This is her from August, from what I can make out. She was already way too light skinned here, but even this isn't that bad.
In another 6 months she'll have the same skin tone as Casper the Friendly Ghost at this rate.
Considering how Kimberly turned out great, here's hoping.
But yeah it's so upsetting the way Elena was whitewashed.

That already look so different from SF4
Saw the terrible redesign for Elena but what's going on with Poison?

Girl of Light indeed

I don't get it :o, can someone explain?
Yeah I get you, if we get Akuma in spring that would be tiptop but that doesn't feel super likely at this rate.
On a more pleasant note, the stars are telling me to pick up Manon as my secondary.
Watching some online tuts now but please SF-Era give me the secret knowledge.
I remember thinking we'd be getting videos like these every few months for SF6.

Can you explain why not? What has been late in the season pass?
Ed is Winter 2024. He's coming out in a couple weeks...in Winter 2024, just like they said.
Feels like you're creating imaginary delays just because you don't like the deadlines they gave you almost a year ago.
In hindsight this was likely done to keep interest in SFV going during the makeshift final season. They likely felt this wasn't necessary for a brand new game. In a way the gameplay videos we got for new characters are a super condensed version of the more in-depth character breakdowns in these vids.
Still, I think people were very positive about these videos at the time and it's odd they dropped them entirely. In general I feel communication could have been better these past ~9 months.

I'd be down for the return of those showcases. We kinda got that pre-launch, so hopefully they at least do another one for Year 2.
Oh it's a seasonal and semantic misunderstanding we are having. Where I am Summer basically begins soon lol.

A little unusual to mention the VA. Wonder if they got him to voice a special message.
Do we know when JP's birthday is? I guess even knowing, much less celebrating, JP's birthday feels weird for the kind of character he is, but these birthday events have been so consistent that it'll feel weird if he's not included in them.
Granted, Capcom did greenlight Duel so they ain't blameless. But I think (hope) the SF Team ain't as...that.

Would people be pissed if we didnt get all the season 2 characters announced together?
I think part of the hunger for news stems from the fact we haven't a heretofore unknown character revealed for the game since October 2022. Now granted, the leak was beyond their control but so long as the announcements are in their court, how would we feel about more frequent reveals with less characters? I'd kind of like 1 character revealed, next one after the revealed one gets a cryptic teaser ala the FFXIV job hints at fanfests. Then you have a reason to check in every so often and it doesn't feel like forever till you have another shot at your candidate rather than a full season of folks you may not have interest getting announced at once and you basically tabling excitement a year.

It's the minority opinion on Era, but I prefer characters being announced one at a time. Seeing concept art for the entire season at once is anticlimactic, and then you have to wait an entire year to be surprised again.
Give me something to use the Drive Tickets on, Capcom! Right now I'm feeling like this
don't really care. I'm fine with them announcing characters separately if they want to. Knowing season pass in advance is frankly boring from speculation aspect; but it does help to rip the bandage off quicker if people only like very few characters.
I would, but people it feels like people are creating negativity out of nothing so maybe drip feeding fake excitement by hiding information is what people actually want.
I think if you're asking for my money, you should tell me what I'm buying.
This, basically. I have no issue with how they handle the characters because I think 4 is good, but the fact that they keep pushing in-game store shit but you can't ever know when you should expect a patch is in my opinion insane. I don't care what is standard in fighting games or not.
Yes people would be pissed. People will also be pissed if all of the characters are announced together and their fave is not included this season.

If they're gonna sell us a season pass, I'd prefer if they announced most (if not all) of the characters up-front. I appreciated that about most of the SFV seasons & SF6's Year 1, and I hope that doesn't go away.
At the very least, let us know ahead of time what games the characters will be pulled from (or if they're a newcomer) to somewhat set expectations.

Tekken 8's success makes me wonder if Capcom should start reusing animations for future SF games to ensure a larger base roster. SF6 is as good of a foundation as any.
i don't know. Tekken is doing great, but it's not lapping SF. no real need to go panic mode and start copying the Tekken formula.
besides, Tekken's animation reuse also coincides with legacy movesets. Tekken characters don't just move the same, they largely play the same.
Capcom is no stranger to asset reuse, the back half of the 90s is full Capcom reusing sprites and animations, but the tradition of numbered Street Fighters being completely brand new chapters is valuable. Especially considering how long those chapters last.

True, the gap isn't massive. Hell, even MK1 isn't that far ahead. All three are clearly doing great.
I think you'd see complaints as time went on by doing that. The new look of each iteration gets people interested.
OP
OP
Good point, starting over each time keeps each new entry feeling fresh. Although I suppose it's still a balancing act in terms of having a decently-sized roster with good animations.
I just hope SF6 is living up to their internal expectations. I'm sure it will reach the ten million lifetime they have stated but I want them to keep giving that team money. Keep funding the future of the game and keep the pots big. I really hope it launches with switch 2 cause that will easily add a few million sales. 3 million is great but I was hoping it would be a breakout hit and hit 5 million the first year.
