Man I defended Bengus's art wholeheartedly when sf5 first released believing he was rushed but it seems clear that wasn't the case. I honestly think his current looser art style brings the game down because it's so inconsistent. I wasn't really a huge fan of the animated intros and endings in 4 but having them in 5 would bump up the presentation a bunch. I feel like the story art sequences are getting progressively worse each season.
Yup
They didn't become blue until the Shadaloo CRI profile (her hair got blonder too):

SFIV Ken had different color eyes in his CSS portrait than his model.You know what's funny, Bengus drew Ken with blue eyes in his SFV art despite the character model clearly having brown eyes. Just the kind of consistency you'd expect out of this game.
Funny how many laggy matches reduced going back to Nash. Like what was DaFeetLee doing on PC with a laggy connection?
New way it actually better imo. I wish I could tell capcom to port SFV's training mode to SF6. It's the best in the business. But I would kill for a proper "on block, set the dummy to do these recorded actions" rather than just the reversal specials and buttons.
Had the weirdest experience just now with Poison's #9 trial. Two hours I practiced at getting it right, with no success. Until suddenly time slowed down and I felt complete clarity and focus, and I completed the combo several times in a row. Super clean, too.
For example, I normally struggle with second part of the combo, starting with the Heart Raid cancel (214.P xx K). Even if I do get the cancel, I am still too slow to hit the st.MP afterwards. But during that moment it felt like I had all the time in the world to leisurely hit the buttons I needed to hit.
I actually sat there like:
Sadly the moment ended as suddenly as it started and now I am once again stuck on the 214.P xx K, s.MP xx 214.LP+MP sequence like before.

Yeah, there was one not last Friday but the Friday before. He got Rashided.
BTW, is it just me or does the game load faster now on the PS4. I swear it is like 20% faster or something.
Sonic Sol has made what I've been waiting for all week: a Poison video with Bel Biv DeVoe's "Poison" as the soundtrack.
Fun fact: Final Fight (and Poison) hit the arcades in December 1989. BBD's "Poison" was released as a single in February 1990.
New Jack Swing and late 80s New School hip-hop pairs so well with Street Fighter.

There's some FGC drama going on, unsurprisingly involving Chris T and his homies being toxic to women and threatening people.
It stems from CrackPr0n making a group chat public with a few FGC heads like AfroCole, Apoc, and BrenttIsCool being misogynistic in what they thought was a safe space for it, I guess:

AND I'D DO IT AGAIN. EVERYONE MUST KNOW ABOUT THE RAGEQUIT. Just for that, I'm sending the next straight to your inbox.
But, seriously, how else am I supposed to upload the video? YouTube? lol
Brent and Chris both come from the High Desert of California, so I'm not surprised they're right-leaning bros who don't want women ruining their video games. I just hope Julio, the third member of "the trinity," doesn't get dragged down by their nonsense. They're both on the verge of getting CPT bans for making open threats against CrackPr0n.
As a NorCal resident, I can kinda confirm you're too late on that part. Julio has had Chris and Brentt's backs in the past and has admitted to being a Jordan Peterson fan when the SoCal duo took some heat for being fans of the guy as well.
The Street Fighter Plot Guide had her as "Lucia Morgan" as early as ver 4.5, but it had no source as far as I can tell.
Not only did her hair get blonder and eyes changed colour, I think she might have gotten lighter skinned too. Ah, Capcpom.Yup

Chris, Brent and Julio were the Holy Trinity of Kens.
Doesn't surprise me that Chris would be worshipping a chad like Ken like that.

I gotta ask, what's the average tickrate for Rollback netcode? I can't find any info on this and the closest I can find is Killer Instinct 90fps comment.
Of course he would being rich.
Of course he would being rich.
Final Fight 3 Lucia looks plausibly Puerto Rican. SFV Lucia looks plausibly Scandinavian.
60Hz? I would think that's obvious.
KI also has a 60Hz net code, but the game just runs at 90fps.
The Gutsman costume reminded me that Boxer was in the game. I had forgotten about him, which is weird since he used to be such a crushing force back in S1. How is he now? Is he just obsolete/other characters do the same thing he does, but better?
To be specific, Balrog wasn't anything in S1. The only one who played him semi-effectively was Smug, but he wasn't making any big waves with him.
Season 2 was Balrog's season, the peak season for throw loops, neutral crush counters, and V-Trigger fraudulence.
Makes things easier. We know they are all scumbags, so we don't have to remember which one is the "good one".
"How about we give him all the utility and explosive power/speed of charged dash punches...but he doesn't need to charge! And he can still cancel the ex slow version into v trigger cancel!
...and he has a fireball!"
Best design ethos. It's like the current dev team has forgotten the concept of "weaknesses".
Ah, yeah, I remember how Q was sort of like Boxer in 3rd Strike, and G is everything Q was, except with none of the weaknesses (and a fireball).
Yeah, make sense that G ate his lunch. At least he still has the Gutsman costume!

Q has weaknesses. Once you knock him down he dies. But it's hard as hell to knock him down because his long range defense is good and his offense is the best.
Am I crazy, or am I the only one who vaguely remembers Lucia being rumored as one of the new characters along with an arab character? Those characters wound up being Laura and Rashid, but I feel like Ken Bogard or somebody was teasing Lucia back in 2015.
The biggest thing I want from an UI refresh, if one is coming, are better menus. Everything about them is slow. The game takes ages to boot, the loading times are awful when returning from a match to the main menu, and navigation in general just feels sluggish.
Like, why does the game need half a minute to get me back to character select when I die in Arcade Mode? And don't get me started on that split second of lag when you open the menu in training or trials.

Most of the time I feel like the team decided to take all of the annoying characters from SF4 and fucking triple down on their obnoxiousness. Characters like Seth, El Fuerte, Ibuki, Abel, and C.Viper. It's like they saw those characters and were like hmmm....playing against them isn't fun, right? Ok, let's make more characters like that. Actually Abel wasn't THAT bad, I just got blown up by him a lot.
As if the damn thing was even reliable, Matchmaking is trying to connect me to a lot of ~4 bar connections when the limit is 5 bar. It was uncommon, but now it's showing up more often.

This game needs some major fixing with its single-player modes.
- Why in fuck's name does Survival mode force us to watch our character's winning animation EVERY SINGLE TIME? IT'S UNSKIPPABLE, I might add.
- On the other hand, arcade mode skips all of the character intros for no explicable reason.
- Why can't we skip any of the "loading" arcade mode does before every battle on PC? I can see that my PC loaded that shit in seconds, but I still have to see through 30 seconds of nothing.
- Why doesn't arcade mode have a quick continue option? Again, we have to sit through a bunch of non-loading even if we want to keep using the same character
I just want to say, Valle is legit. When I first started showing up to WFN a few years ago, he was the most welcoming dude I've ever met in the fgc. A lot of times you can go to an event and just feel left out when you see all the big name player friend groups hanging around.
Valle would just start shooting the shit with my no name ass like we were boys. I genuinely thinks he just loves to see new faces show up. Its a shame that fgc drama overshadows really good people.
Quick continue on arcade should totally be a thing, you can do it in Vs mode and you'd be able to avoid that long damn load time...
Has any T.O./Event Runner people commented on this things legality? Gonna suck for the backers if this get booted.
To add to this:
- Why can we switch sides in training but not in trials?
- Why are moves shown with their names by default instead of their commands? Does anyone actually practice combos that way?
- Why isn't there an in-game database with frame data, preferably right there in the command list for each character?
- With how ubiquitous the costume code is, why not add a toggle to the character select?
These cards are so underappreciated:
Capcom has no real reason to keep making them, but I love that they do.

E Honda needs a nerf. It's like Capcom was afraid that he maybe weak so they gave him a safe headbutt, plus frame hands and butt stomp.

They likely went more aggressive in tuning after Kage turned out to be wildly undercooked.
