What's gonna be the noob friendly character in the base game that is not a charge or shoto, I actually managed to get to plat with Ed on SF5 but he was easy mode, just won on pure anti air dmg most fights.

The majority of the launch cast seems more complex in their kit than most of the SFV roster, even ryu and chun now have to worry about character specific resources and stances. Luke and Guile seem the most "simple" in design but are a shoto and a charge which you weren't interested in.

Honestly? If you were able to hit plat I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit, just pick who you think is the coolest and you'll get on fine imo

I really like the look of Manon based purely on vibes. I've tried to watch what limited stuff is out there and understand her but I hope I gel with her playstyle. I just think she's neat!

man I miss the days of just having character threads

I've enjoyed the combination of wiki+discord more than the SRK forums. There seems to be way more activity and good info in the former, even if the discord stuff can be ephemeral.

So that explains why installed Guiles just get their entire stack of booms wiped out with a single hadoken.

What's Dee Jay's EX boom? Is it also two? Because that feels like the immediate pain point.

Do they have good anti air options? Once I switched from Ryu to Ed in SFV I just realized how a character with multiple anti air is just busted in ranked.

He's half charge now. The upkicks anti-air and fireball are still charge, but sobat and machinegun upper are motion inputs now.

With the sways and fake moves he's also one of the more complex characters now.

Marisa's anti-air options are weird but Lily can guerilla herself through anything, including anti-airing.

They released a benchmarking tool.
Hopefully the actually game has that feature too, to actually test people's setups before allowing them into Ranked.
SF4 had that. Bring that back.

I feel like this one artist is pushing this one ship so hard that I'll be genuinely confused if SF6 ever mentions they aren't together.

I don't ever remember being this hyped for a fighting game, even after playing them all my life. My attitude for upcoming fighting games was usually "I need to have a game to play, and this one looks alright and will be reasonably popular." My thoughts for this game are "I hate that I'm not playing this really well put together and amazing-feeling game right now."

They're right to do so. I hope world tour doesn't try to pretend Juri is actually cool or threatening and not a weird loser.

They turned Juri from the first female villan in Street Fighter (I'm pretty sure?) into god drat Harley Quinn.

Is there any reason behind this ship beyond "the artist thinks that they're both hot?" I barely remember anything about Menat's story mode and I haven't tried beating arcade mode with her, so if she and Juri have interacted I have no idea

It's literally entirely based on this pocky box:


And from there it's just cause it's a cute pairing. Though they've since put that art into the official art books and stuff, so who knows :shrug:

They've definitely leaned into goblin juri though in terms of how she acts
