Even more than the trailer I'm mostly looking forward to the PlayStation blog that drops at the same time.
They're always well written and informative about the characters and design

I'd likely be driving home from work by the time the trailer drops, so......yeah.

Sorry for the double-post, but Power Ranger Ryu is apparently coming to Fortnite.

I'm a bit surprised we got another Ryu before Ken, Juri, or the SF6 Trio.

Such a dearth of content for Fighting Grounds that I am actually excited for ...*gulp* Ed. Ugh. Maybe I should hang out more in the Battle Hub . That seems to be where most of the cool shit goes..
I have a really dumb, specific thing that I'm curious about that I don't know where to ask, but I figure people in this thread who know more about fighting games might be able to answer; Are air normals consistent across most fighting games?
As in, Street Fighter is consistent across the cast that medium aerials will hit horizontally, while heavies will hit at a downward angle. Killer Instinct swaps this, mediums hit down and heavies go horizontal. Is Street Fighter's setup consistent across most fighting games, or is it a toss-up which series does what?

I know people hate Elenas design, but what do you think of this other redesign someone did?
I wouldn't say it's consistent because the concept of "mediums" isn't consistent accross fighting games to begin with - 6 button fighters were more of a Capcom and SF clones thing, with 4 button fighters not bothering with doing mediums super often since their solutions for it were pretty jank like holding a button or pressing two buttons - but from my experience heavier moves tend to angle downwards for jump-ins while lighter moves tend to either be used for cross ups or air to airs so they're angled higher.

That's actually similar to the hairstyle I suggested a year ago. I'd personally give her some shorts, though.
SF6 isn't even consistent with its aerials across characters except for medium kicks, which seem to largely be forward.
The best thing about the battle hub is being able to play against all levels of players easily. Other than that, you're not missing much. Some of the outfits are cool, but paying for them isn't worth it (unless you want to show off).
The stuff you get from world tour is much expansive and can be dyed. Only thing I have ever bought from the shop is the katana.
💯
between world tour and abundant drive tickets, i don't spend any real money on avatar drip and i got mad gear like thrasher damnd
So where do stand with Christie (Eddy derivative that she is) then?
If she's supposed to be Afro-Brazilian they're doing the most subtle job
White presenting Black people exist, but it's hardly representation when a character is this ambiguously coded. Like Laura is a very fair skinned Afro-Brazilian fighting game character, but at least she has the cornrows and the unambiguously negro sibling to communicate it.
If that render is from where I think it is (Tekken Mobile), then that's Christie looking lighter than usual. That game whitewashed the heck out of several characters.

Christie is indeed supposed to be Afro-Brazilian like Eddy. But……yeah, can't argue with the rest of your point. Though to be fair, that's the most light-skinned render of her. She thankfully isn't nearly as pale in-game or even in SFxT.If she's supposed to be Afro-Brazilian they're doing the most subtle job

Even if we count whitewashed Christie, two Black women in 30 years is shameful.
Street Fighter only having three Black women (or four counting Menat's North African melanin) is shameful too.
I never said it wasn't ideal, I was just pointing out Tekken had more than Master Raven. None of these franchises are batting a thousand in terms of quantity even if we're gradually making some progress. It took Mortal Kombat ten mainline games to get a Black woman from Earthrealm. Jade and Tanya were looking a little whitewashed circa 2015/16 as well.

Not to mention SEGA whitewashing the hell out of Vanessa.
My stance has always been that fighting games are trash at representation even though they're generally better than other genres.
Can't believe they put that shit on Eddy.
Game devs need to be stopped.

Kim's 3-for-3 with her outfits primarily because of the inspired hair styles, the last thing we need is Capcom to fumble their hot streak.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League thankfully dodged that bullet for Deadshot.
I believe also Michelle fell victim to whitewashing as well.
Also only less than an hour until the gameplay debut of Ed…
Bighead!

I hadn't seen it so I just googled it. Clean fade and lined up tight, nice.

quite possibly the most authentically handsome black video game character. the negro gaze is so rare in this medium.
3k people waiting for Ed rn
Still got 25 minutes
The thirst is real... though not as real as outfit 3. That shit was wild.

Ed Gameplay Trailer (also shows new Ruined Lab stage)
Oh shit, someone's clock was off!
edit: Oh shit, is that stage a hint at a Bison return?
Oh Shit! Did JusDoIt win? No Kicks!
Also a German rapper? Nice.
