Terry looks pretty beastly in SF6 can’t wait to use him.

He looks like he will fit in soooo well.

Yeah they pulled so much from multiple games he’s been in and even some anime stuff, it’s like a greatest hits Terry. Reminds me of how he was handled in Smash! Can’t wait to see what they do with Mai!

The anime reference in his level 3 caught me off guard. I thought I was the only one who remembered that OVA :sweat_smile:

I will admit, MVC exclusion was a bit of sting though not much. The one that actually to me personally was the recent collection announcement. CVS2 was my childhood fighter and still one of my favorite. I owed the Xbox version and played online. I don’t even know if it was functional with all this netcode talk but dammit, I had a great time. You can see why this hurts. Now, we’re back in business.

Reminder: It took four years for SFV to reach that number and, I believe vanilla SFIV only reached three-point-something million sales,if I remember correctly.

For me it was Project Justice that stung more than anything. I LOVED Rival Schools as a teen and Project Justice was one of my favorite Dreamcast games. ( still kick myself to this day for trading it in.) Unfortunately with Itsuno gone the chances of getting a new one are even more remote, but I’d love it if they’d also re release the original Playstation version , but this time with all the school life and Dating sim stuff they left out of the US version included.

Also as for CVS 2 I owned the japanese xbox version on the free Demo disk that came with OXM magazine. The entire game was on that disk , always thought that was odd.

Really? That’s crazy. I always remember the review between GCN and Xbox version. I forgot what site (might be Gamespot) but they rated GCN low like 5.5 while Xbox got around 8 because of online. It was that moment that all of my choice third-party wise will be Xbox.

Damn! Justin Wong out here making people return the game! :rofl: https://x.com/JWonggg/status/1834795046010282075

This seems to come close to something I’ve wanted in wanted in SF6 for a while now. https://x.com/StreetFighter/status/1836903100126212154

So similar to drivatars? But because they used a wider range of player data they shouldn’t behave exactly like another person.

Sound like it. I was hoping SF would incorporate something like , if I want to fight AI based on I dunno, SonicFox or Daigo etc, I could do so. A friend of mine competes at Evo and I liked practicing against him whenever I could and he would give me a lot of advice and point out weaknesses in my strategy. Things like that were definitely helpful. This seems more general rather than being based on any one player.

It’s only an announcement but this is awesome!

Personally though, Chun-Li is one of my favorite SF characters and I understand why they chose her, but I think Kimberly would’ve looked really good in this game instead.

Only fair since theirs invaded SF6.

Wishful thinking for CVS3.

The relationship is there at least. Though im not sure if Capcom would be willing to juggle more than one fighting game like they used to.

I am a tad surprised that Ryu didn’t make it in, but I love seeing Capcom and SNK having a relationship again.

CVSNK 3 is definitely happening , it’s just a question of when and who is making it. Capcom or SNK. I could see SNK tackling it since they were basically bankrupt when they made SVC Chaos and couldn’t really put out their best work.

This is not me hinting at anything, this is me excited for the prospect because my recent hyper-fixation has been fighting games and I’ve been juggling half a dozen at the moment (on top of the backlog challenge).

They basically said they chose Ken and Chun Li because of their rivalries with Terry and Mai respectively. I still wonder if maybe some SF characters don’t make it into KOF 15 before it’s over. Juri would be a good pick, especially because I would love to see her interactions with Kim Kapwhan. Also can’t wait to see Chun Li in the COTW art style!
