Also, has anyone noticed in World Tour mode that there's multiple separate instances of an NPC describing some horrific component of modern-day life (examples off the top of my head: private military contractors, drone warfare) and then saying something almost exactly like Well its not up to us to decide whether thats good or bad, its just the way it is. Kind of weird. And now I'm in Nayshall and there's enemy mobs called Galumphing Globalists.

Scariest people for me to fight as Cammy: Zangief, Manon, Marisa

And I see more of these than I do Ken or Ryu!

I feel like if I let any of them land like three attacks on me I’m basically done.

The only matchup as Juri I'm legit annoyed when I see is JP. Everyone else feels like standard things I can deal with. JP is just a menace, why did they give the zoner a DP that not only resets to neutral, it immediately puts him on the offensive and offers like 3 different mix opportunities. Psychotic poo poo

if you die once during it, luke also gives some sound advice: you can keep him around the middle of the stage, wait out the 5 slashes, and then punish him immediately after the last one finishes, which is what i ended up doing. this works good for the andore family too, where you can just kinda hover around waiting for their command grab, jump over them, and then either throw or combo them yourself

if you read the prologue comix, jp is literally a crypto scammer who is bamboozling ken into funding his libertarian Content Utopia by getting him to invest his foundation's money in worthless tech "infrastructure" within a newly founded/third world nation and then setting him up to steal all of the invested money through manipulating the crypto market through the context of all the fights in the game (JP's big fighting tournament)

the second layer is that it's all deliberately designed to fail so he sets up prop fake tech boom economies in struggling nations to create mega suffering through debt prisons etc

he is hilariously modern as a villain and it rules that he's m. bison's 'teacher/master' and maybe the source of psycho power??

like, he's basically g's rival at a large scale

I think this game is great, but the sound track sucks.

He's definitely, from my newcomers perspective, the only cool villain in SF besides Juri. I dont know if Akuma counts.

Got this a few days ago and I've been having a ton of fun with it, using the modern controls because I'm old and haven't played a street fighter game since SF2.

My one problem is my PS5 controller. The d-pad is the four-button thing without a real diagonal, and the throw distance on the stick is so far that it gives me trouble. Is there a good option for a PS5 controller that's got a shorter throw distance on the stick and/or a decent dpad?

Wanted to bump this question because I'm in need of one too. Plus the D-pad is hurting my old man thumb

JP is the Gouken of Bison?

Honestly the fact that M. Bison of all God drat people has a loving Frieza level threat behind him is terrifying

I'm pretty sure in the post-WT stuff, JP says he was just Bison's accountant and took on psycho power as a way to see the world the way Bison saw it. In the enrollment cutscene he intimates he's not totally adept at using it, or at least giving it to other people. But he also seems like a pathological liar.

Jamie's and Manon's themes are good, and generally the soundtrack as a whole grows on me as I hear it, but it's definitely a different tone than prior games' and intentionally pretty unobtrusive. That said, give us the SF5 and SF4 soundtracks as options in the future, capcom. I want the best track they've ever made back.
