I'm psyched as hell. Got my Deluxe Edition pre-ordered and paid off at Best Buy (so I'm getting a steelbook with it). Can't wait to dust off Zangief, though I do have a few questions (I like the "gotcha" of an anti-air throw, but the lariat was doing that just fine...does that mean the lariat got nerfed???...I DID see a vid with an EX Lariat, wondering how the hell that works).
I'm also anxious to try Manot and a few other characters. I scoffed at the modern control scheme, but it would be fun to run characters in arcade/survival to get the jist of how the combos and functions work, then swap over to classic and jump online versus fumbling in classic and dropping everything.
I wasn't exactly WOWED by the story mode in the demo, but I'll give it at least one go. I hope you don't have to do a full-reset playthrough when you create a new character. I'd like to create a decent roster of people to use online against, like, friends and stuff, have different builds. Which also makes me wonder how many characters is the maximum. If they pulled off some "pay to have extra slots" malarky that would be.............well, the norm for the gaming world nowadays.

The Versus Screen goes so f***ing hard in this game. I love it.

The hype for this does have me kind of curious but I have a hard time seeing myself buying it just because of how expensive Capcom's business model with these is. Lot more efficient to wait two or three years and get all the DLC for like $25 than to get on at the ground level and end up having to spend hundreds.

Played a bit of the beta. Had no interest in Kimberley but then I found out she basically has all of Guy's moves so now she's my main, lol. Probably gonna play Juri again as I liked her in V. Manon's the char I most looking forward to, though. Her fighting style looks so cool.

Oh, there's a small spoiler out. It's fairly minor, but I'll tag it, all the same. {Spoiler}It would seem that Lily is T. Hawk's daughter.

Decided to check out the beta and think it might've gone ahead and sold me on it, this just feels really fun to play and feels so much like the boost in accessibility this franchise has loooong needed. Helps that I 1), have like $25 in Xbox credit I'm not really using, and 2), pretty much only ever use my credit for Gamepass which I'm thinking of letting lapse when it runs out in August anyway, so might just start using my rewards points to shave off some of the cost of the DLC or something.

Yeah, it seems like they learned their lesson from leaning too hard into esports last go-round. Like, yes, you need to not neglect competitive players, but you also A. need to bring in casuals because that's the only way fighting games can thrive, B. even veterans don't want to only play other veterans constantly, new blood is needed, and C. if you do a good job, you can appeal to both camps, anyway.

I'm fine with it myself. 2 grapplers on a starting roster is plenty (now if after Year 3 of DLC we have no new ones, that's different). T. Hawk isn't a conventional one but his primary damage-dealer is a command grab.
It does make me wonder if they'll do similar "next of kin" for other fighters in Year 2's DLC and onwards.

Looks like itll be a lot of fun and i look forward to doing World Tour mode but man how much is the game going to truly cost at the end when all the DLC and extra stuff comes out eventually? I honestly cant see any reason to spend a fortune on extra costumes and skins at all any more, V had far to much to spend money on.

Kind of one of my bigger hesitations in springing for it, the upgrade packs years later made SFV’s content all affordable for a fraction of the cost.

Hopefully the tour mode will allow for easier/more fun quests to unlock characters and gear outside of directly buying the DLC or grinding online. SFV’s fight money system led to a ton of newer players either getting stomped in casual or being forced to “git gud” in ranked just for a piddly 50FM per win, so unless one got a hang of the online meta right away it could be a chore just to unlock colors.

I don't think I really played a Street Fighter beyond SF3 (was always more of an MK guy), but this has me ready to pre-order. It looks like it's genuinely an evolution of the fighting game formula.

I decided to go ahead and take the plunge on it, could shave off a good chunk of the price with my Rewards stuff and came away from the demo wanting to play more of it so figured might as well go for it.

I have to say, after reading the prequel comic and seeing his arcade, I think JP might be the best villain character in the Street Fighter franchise.

So some people have gotten access early and have been going through the arcade modes of the characters to unlock their art pieces. One specific character art is spreading through social media like wild fire, the art you unlock for clearing Cammy’s arcade mode.
Not gonna post it here to hedge all my bets on not getting yeeted, but let me just say Capcom must be Marie Antoinette, because they said, “Let them eat cake.” Cammy might as well be Hostess with all the cake she is slinging in this art piece.

Ok this game is just downright unmitigatedly, unashamedly, just full on all restraints removed HORNY. So in addition to *gestures* everything to do with Cammy, Juri, and Manon, I’ve been seeing some of the World Tour dialogues and god damn. {Spoiler}Chun-Li acknowledges her thicc thighs in a very wink wink, nudge nudge conversation, and Marisa, being a practitioner of pankration, openly admits to wishing she could fight completely nude, like pankration users in ancient times did.
