Aesthetics are gameplay, especially for something like a fighting game where you'll be spending god knows how many hours as a specific character. For some people the look or personality of the character won't matter, for others it's an important part of self-expression. Different priorities.

I just wish they'd have put literally anyone else as the face of the game. Kimberly or even Jamie could have carried the cover of the game instead of the guy who, as someone else said, looks like the archetype of "pure douchebag".

Idk man there’s probably people who feel the exact opposite and are happy Luke is the face so where do we go from here now?

If there's a character that fits my playstyle perfectly but I dislike their character design, then I'm never going to play them.

If I'm going to play a character I need to think that what they're doing is cool, because doing cool things is the whole point of the fighting games for me.

I don't really think there should be A face of a game like this, definitely not how they're doing it with 6. Putting a picture of Just Luke on the box really does a disservice to all the great new characters this game has to offer, they really could have done a better job.

Luke is a vibe in a way that the other new characters aren't.

Holy Hell.
Has Capcom stated precisely what is included in each of the three versions of the game?

The year 1 character pack is straightforward. Beyond that, there's costumes and maps, but have they said exactly what costumes & for which characters, and what maps?

I think Zoomer Luke is mostly a meme that exists because of the presence of Boomer Ryu + is played up by his voice actor/the fanart. Rashid had the social media obsession and fake Twitter account and it never took off as much.

I’m starting to think that the decision to use an encouraging gym bro to introduce basic fighting game mechanics was kind of genius… Hundreds of thousands of people are gonna think fondly of Luke a decade from now I can feel it already.

That was pretty intense, huh?

Luke has the best taunt in the game, so logic dictates that Luke is a good character.

To me the voices are the biggest deal breaker. I liked how some characters played but I couldn't imagine hearing those voice lines over and over and over again. Not gonna name any names here.

Feels like a bad idea to post on twitter about getting a street date broken copy, considering.

Capcom isn’t gonna do anything to anyone for buying the game. I guess the store can get in trouble but imagine trying to justify to anyone “you aren’t allowed to play in our tournaments because you legally bought the game at the store selling it to you and you didn’t even realize it was a few days before we said they could”

that's because he *is* a moron. Luke immediately becomes a better character once you realize he's a himbo.

No wonder why the character select music sounds like butts, they split the chorus off for use in the walk-in loading screen. Now I want to hear how it's supposed to sound as an entire piece.

You can use an in-game currency called “United States Dollars ($USD)” to purchase alternative costumes for each of the characters at launch

Anyone in Europe, how was the netcode during the beta?

I remember a lot of talk about how V was okay later in its life but it pretty much always shat the bed for us in the UK when we tried to give it a whirl.
