So another SF6 video, what can I say I am still hyped beyond belief! Today we are talking about the plot and the characters. What we know about the evolution of the characters themselves, both from official sources and a bit from the leak, and also what exactly is the shape of Street Fighter 6's plot moving forward? Bison is 100% confirmed defeated and Shadaloo is destroyed, yet going by what we know things are heading towards disaster!
I feel like Kage was supposed to be the Embodiment of the Darkness inside Ryu which is why it's design differed from Evil Ryu. Finally being split Ryu us a happier man but for 5.99 I'm sure we can get the power of the Satsui no Hado
Personally, I feel like we might get an Evil Ryu clone again down the road when Street Fighter 6 exits out of it's release date. For me I would definitely like another edgy demon Ryu character.
@@Gideon13397 I'm leaning twords Violent Ken. If he lost something and changed his personality cause of it I'd be all for it. An he would be a sick parallel to Ryu who is at piece now. Possibly the Satsui no Hado had to go somewhere like bison psycho energy an corrupted Ken
"but for 5.99 I'm sure we can get the power of the Satsui no Hado" for some reason that made me laugh. But yeah I want Kage to return so badly, I really hope he does, as a separate character even.
@@themysteriousface7633 Kage an Seth got me more interested in SF5 when they were revealed something about Kages Tatsu was satisfying an Seth's neutral an combos were amazing. I would have thought seth would still be a main villian in sf6 but hopefully we get the 5.99 under the table deal for our characters Sean for SF6
This is what they should've been doing since street fighter 3. Newer character designs that shows timeline progression and a more interesting and engaging story. Loving this from sf6
I wonder, if Ken will turn into Akuma's new target and ultimately fall to the satsui no hadou. Maybe he'll end up being one of the players who leads the world towards destruction.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 If there was any progression, it was conveyed very poorly with each fighter staying the same in age and appearance. SF6 seems to actually be doing it right with aged up characters and confirming that they do indeed have more than one set of clothes. This is absolutely seen the best in Ken where he used to look like a young adult energetic male while in sf6 he appears much older and down on his luck. They are showing us the timeline's progression and impact on the characters instead of telling us through text or something
1:15 Actually, Akuma knows and has pretty much given his blessing somewhat. He is interested how Ryu grows in strength from here. That's from his SFV Story.....as short as it was.
akuma isn't really evil from what i understand. he's pretty similar to ryu in that he wants a good fight and grow in power. he just uses an evil power to do so
I know we are in a street fighter groove at the moment but do remember that Season 2 of Guilty Gear Strive is dropping real soon, like, the 10th soon! Also on the 8th the patch notes themselves will drop and naturally you can expect full coverage on EVERYTHING on the channel! Also more street fighter whenever it pops up cause im hype lol
It's nice for Ryu that he's finally moved on from the Satsui no Hado after all these years! I'm gonna miss Evil Ryu though, but I guess that's why he became his own entity under the name of Kage! Plus, going off of what was leaked for Ken, if they wanted to, they could have the possibility of Violent Ken, should he ever fall down a dark path!
As someone who loves lore, I'm so happy the series is not in stagnation anymore! Old characters growing and evolving and a new threat on the horizon, the new story is definitely gonna be very interesting and exciting, especially since we're gonna be part of it
I'm always glad when fighting games still focus on their lore even in the modern era. I grew up loving the characters and stories of so many of these games, with no one to play against but the CPU.
Do you still play against the cpu? Because I still do. It's soo much fun than waiting more half an hour in a lobby just to play against an amateur or a cheapskate.
The same leak that says JP uses pyscho power says Jaime is Yun & Yang's cousin. Quite a few people have interpreted that to mean that Jaime is Lee's son.
ken background is still unclear. that leak talking about it mentioned a dog tag, but the game footage show a pendant (also the art but is much clearer in game). Its a western thing also to wear black cloth around your arm to honor the death of a close aquaintance/family member, which also fits better sf since the themes usually involve much more simple universal concepts
3:05 This sound so interesting. Ryu after all that hard work finally in control of the evil powers and finally masters the power of nothingness, while Ken is losing grip. As you said, imagine Ken selling his soul by allowing the satsui no hado within him and Akuma guiding/misleading him so he has no control over himself (Voilet Ken).. to the point Ryu can't see him as his friend any more and has to stop him by any means. Crazy
another thing to note about ken is the black arm band he is wearing, which is usually to symbolize grieving for someone who has died going the violent ken route seems so cool too
@@Rooflemonger yeah i saw it, if we had a chance for violent Ken i'd flip out, he was without doubt one of the coolest additions in Snk vs Capcom Chaos. The psycho flames and the sneaky teleporting love it.
I was hoping that the new Ken design wasn't reflective of him being in a rough patch, but rather just reflecting the fact that all of SF6 takes place on his day off where he wasn't expecting to need to go outside.
I hope Capcom releases an official timeline of games/events to clear up the confusion. I lost track during SFV (part of is is after 3rd strike??) so a blogpost showing what happens and when would be so nice, or maybe something in-game like Strive's GG World.
*Ryu acheveies greater power* Ken *Depress* Akuma to ken: Have you heard about the lord and savoir satsui no Hado? Ken: Tell me more "Turns into evil Ken*
Imo I still feel kage can come back in some form. Ryu basically defeated him by not caring about him, which gave kage a literal existential crisis. What if kage ultimately decides his violence needs no vessel and he forces himself back into existence becoming a pure being of evil. I'm thinking something like an evil version of asuras wrath
I say i'm intrigued to see where this story goes in SF6, if what rooflemonger says it true than chances are that the new character JP might be the final boss. But that been said however I wouldn't go as to speculate that Ryu would be the one to fight him and save the day, it could be someone else that Oro mentioned that is pure of heart and to better one self which could be anyone, but for me my guess will probably Luke since he is the new protagonist and despite whether you like it or not is the future of SF. But other than that I'm looking foward to see what's in store in SF6 coming soon and I just can't wait. And to see the progression for both old and new characters of the franchise.
Let me clarify something for people who don't understand. If he can throw the hadoken, then no "dark ryu" is not gone. He's just has better control over he's anger, which is what triggered his "dark ryu" state. His abilities are a ying-yang effect.
honestly with the clip you're going at I don't know if I can keep up with all this sf6 news 😮💨 but god bless you for doing it!! ngl you're selling me on the game
Well with this video actually I have pretty much exhausted everything there is to talk about other than baseless speculation lol. That said though SF is a massive part of my life so whenever there is something to talk about, rest assured there will be something on the channel
Can't believe im saying this: I relate to Luke, Im also a big baby that can't play horror games for more than 2 picoseconds. _ALSO THEY GAVE LUKE SEAN'S SHORYU FOLLOW-UP WTF_
@@tomasparant8901 I swear! Why they do that like the character asked to be as good as they programmed him and then nerf them into the dirt like they asked for it?!
Sean just keeps taking blow after blow . He was originally going to be from new York instead of brazil and jazzy nyc was originally his theme,alex took that . They nerfed him after 2nd impact Changed his race in sf5 twice And gave him an overbearing older sister and older brother and 2 cousins We have yet to see . And he hates being compared to dan hibiki. Now they gave luke his dragon dunk Shoryuken and his ground pound
I'm super stoked for SF6. Glad that we finally get more story stuff since it seemed like season 4 and season 5 of SFV set up alot of cool ideas and it didn't feel like they were too scared of trying different stuff.
I'm pretty sure that is what his trigger will be in this game. Ken was stronger thsn Ryu in all the games except I think 5 but he still might have been. In this one they call em washed up and so fourth. He might go violent cause of this jp guy and Ryu has to get him back together
I'm so hyped for this! The last SF game I played was SF2 when I was 10 years old. I'm so ready to go back into my childhood and try this amazing looking new Street Fighter game!
Personally for Ken, I think it’s more of Eliza and him argue over him always trying to be like ryu, they argue (somethin somethin you’ll never be ryu you gotta be a family man) then he leaves TO train, while he’s out someway somehow mel ends up dying (which is why he wears his dogtag and the armband, iirc the armband represents someone dying like how cloud wears one for aerith, same with the tag) and from there he spirals from guilt cuz of I mean dead kid and wife left and ends up not wanting to fight anymore, which is why he can’t use fire From there whatever bad corporation #87 learns Ken is washed so he’s an easy target for brainwashing, and bam violent Ken is cannon Bit darker then just “ryu I lost my fucking apes” but I’d kinda like a direction for that with Ken
Ryu tried to be like Ken growing up. It's not him trying to be like Ryu, it's him trying not to lose the power he once had. Ryu literally only could beat Ken and barely by using Dark Hadoe. Nowadays they do Ken DIRTY
@@SoraX66z That was growing up, nowadays with Ken having a family and Ryu overcoming the Satsui no Hado, leaving to train with Oro, and using the power of Nothingness he’s 100% stronger Ken got brainwashed in the first place in the whole violent Ken story cuz his mind got weaker because of jealousy
I’ve always been interested in the street fighter story lines, but I never really knew how it went before the games I played (4 and 5). I’d love to see a video recapping everything that happened previously to prepare for the new game.
I am VERY interested to see what Capcom does with SF6's story. Ken is very intriguing. I know I'm not the first to say it, but if the leaks are true about him being so down that he is unable to use flames in his Shoryu-reppa, it is highly possible that he could be tempted to use Psycho Power by JP (or someone else) due to his frustration with his regression, which would obviously be the creation of Violent Ken. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Ryu giving his all to bring his best friend back from such a dark place? There are also two things that I wonder about that may apply to the overall story: Rose talking about the past being the key and, oddly enough, the leaked video of Cammy's super where it shows her new design fighting her old one. Now it could just be a different skin, but it could also be that time travel will be involved, and we could get old school designs along with the new ones, which would be tight as hell! SFV did have Story Mode skins for each character along with the default skins, so it is a possibility! Fingers crossed for a SFIV Abel skin for Mimi!
Am I the only person who depised Evil Ryu? For a character who isn't canon, he stayed around for way too long. I get that people were hyped for Daigo's 1-frame E.Ryu combos in SF4, and liked Kage design in SFV, but that persona goes against everything Ryu is as a character. It sucks to keep seeing him saddled with "murderous intent" when he's constantly made efforts to train hard and resist the strong influence throughout the series. If you've ever overcome a bad or negative influence in your life, you dont want to be associated with it anymore. I'm happy of the direction they're taking with Ryu. I hope we can have fun characters and hype matches without having to go back to the edgy shoto well.
Dude this was the best video and explanation of SF6 thus far 🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾 STOKED they’re finally moving past SF3 now and SF6 looks MASSIVELY better than SF5 and I couldn’t be happier 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Society?? Pffft. For you maybe, but for the rest of us SF players, he's still a fan favorite and pretty viable imo. Still doesn't mean I won't buy the game when it comes out just because there isn't one character I like in it.
Dlc is still a thing, from the story yes you dont get him, but we all know if so many fans want it they will do it, but with no story he is just there 🤣
@@zerom.7642 I really doubt we’ll get him as DLC if the website is saying Ryu has overcome the Satsui no Hado, but I’ll gladly eat those words if I’m wrong. He’s a very popular character after all. I just don’t care for him
Now I just imagine some kid going up to Luke and asking him if he likes games, and Luke saying he loves PC games, but then Luke tenses up when the kid asks him if he's played something like Five Nights at Freddy's.
That Russia guy from neo shadaloo is going to kidnap weak ken and turn in him into violent ken. Ken jealousy for Ryu is going to play its part. Violent ken will have spycho powers.
As much as I love evil ryu and want him to be in this game I feel like he won’t be in at all and I think that’s right move too I would say that I think he shouldn’t even be dlc but might be a little extreme lol
Capcom should have followed the Street Fighter 3: Ryu Final manga and gave Ryu the Evil Ryu scar on his chest. In the manga Akuma punched a hole in Ryu's chest allowing Ryu to super hadoken Akuma at point blank range to kill him.
I wanna see what Ryu has picked up from Oro he was training him in part 3. I hope the younger characters like Yun Yang Makoto Sean and Elena show up again I’ve yet to see a boxer and Dudley gave Ryu a good show in the Ryu Final book also hope crimson viper comes back at some point. Maybe Seth can be hunting Neo shadowloo since he’s obsessed with bisons essence. Maybe to absorb them like Cell did the androids in DBZ and become a complete fighter with new moves and a new look. I’m definitely excited
@@CTback I hope not. Not if it’s been over 10 years since SF3. I hope if Sakura come back she not still a school girl. Karen a business woman but I’d hope she’s either on top or on bottom of the family biz or breaking out on her own. They done something interesting with Ken change is good keeps old chars interesting instead of introducing new chars each game and then getting rid of them ahem crimson viper
I thought violent Ken used psycho power! I'm hoping Sean makes a return but Luke's dp and super seem to pull from his move set pretty heavily. I'm also hoping to see akuma's submarine tearing super from his ending in 3rd strike!!
There will probably never be another evil ryu, because ryu got rid of the satsui no hado, and reached enlightenment. The satsui no hado created kage, which means shadow in japanese. Kage is basically the shadow of satsui no hado that resided in ryu. That manifested itself to look and fight like ryu. You will notice how his moveset seems like he still has alot of training to do. Which hopefully in sf6 he comes back more polished.
Thank you for this update sir Being a huge Gorilla Grodd fan, I too second the Neo Shadow Loo Gorilla DLC. Thank goodness Capcom has finally seen it fit to move past SF3 at least in a story sense, whether or NOT this game becomes the new beloved tournament and gameplay darling remains to be seen
Eventually for sure closer to launch. The problem is KoF lore is very well defined and clear cut. SF lore is kinda everywhere lol. We STILL, TO THIS DAY, do not know who won the street fighter 2 tournament, the most important tournament in fighting game history.
Kage is his own seperate character and was done that way lore wise so they can have Ryu move on from that still while still also being able to keep a character thats basically evil Ryu
Any character with about 4 moves each is indeed gonna be in the game expect for those of bison balrog and Vega who I believe are not making it to a playable roster they where boss characters from sf2 and I don't expect gill to make a appearce And Seth is another story Oro can come back if he's got a role to play in
Not consumed by dark hadoe. He tried thst before and it didn't work out. Violent Ken I'm for certain is his trigger. Jp is gonna be the boss and also his reason for sticking around
I am guessing Ken will using satsui now since how he looks. Akuma and Ryu already master the Satsui somewhat. Now that we have serious Ken I think it would be likely that he will finally use Satsui somewhat now and struggle with it. Rather then evil ryu we get Evil Ken.
Ken found out about it before Ryu from what I remember. He was the first to stop Ryu during his first evil struggle. Ken looks like he has evil in him. I guarantee that's his trigger.
@@SoraX66z Ken never found out before Ryu and he never stopped Ryu when he lost control. It was Sakura who stopped Ryu in the SFIV Movie by hugging him.
The problem that i have with sfv is the input timing but if that can be a bit time for the imputs that have screwd me much in story mode. If they fix that im in for sf6
I might be wrong but I think In the comics rose mentored a girl who took interest in psycho power which made a connection with bison on the past so somehow he was able to resurrect himself.
@@Rooflemonger fair points. But as a fellow lore lover, it'd be great to see. Do a second video of the greater lore, and start with "The Story of T. Hawk!"
Bison corrupts people but Ryu inspires people. Final ending def has to be Ryu and friends/protags (Sakura, Charlie, Alex, Abel, Rashid, Luke) vs Bison and Falke and Ed and Gorillson and Otherdudeson
They really should give him alter ego like Ryo, where his alter ego is Mr Karate,where he's actually super badass. Give him alter ego as wondering master or something like that. I can't believe they put Ryu so low that he stand the same level as Luke, which is only born few months ago.
DENJIN shin shoryuken?? Since when has anyone air recovered from a regular one?! Why would they need to be electrocuted on the way up? Maybe it serves to make it unblockable? C'mon Chun, back of the head shot on a little kid? People go instantly blind with those! Funny how she got kicked though.
I wonder instead of a divorce, Ken is going through a mid life crisis arc. I mean he's wealthy, he trained with Ryu for years, he got a family. At some point I can't help to think of The Incredibles. Everyone's moved on, Chun Li became a teacher, Ryu seeking to reach grander heights, but Ken was already at the top. Now his business could be stressful, his family gotten more older, so that adds the stress. So probably Ken wants to go back to "The Glory Days" of his life.
I know most of the attention is on Ken and his whole "new" situation. But what I want to see is how the new characters get involved in the story, not just JP but everyone. At the same time, we have seen the intense emphasis in Metro City, this makes me think of a subplot centred on the Mad Gear Gang for those characters that could not fit into the "Psycho power is evil and is going to destroy the world " plotline, like Jamie or Kimberly.
man I hope they bring out the gorilla and make him a boss and make him playable some how that would be awsome. I'm so glad their moving forward with the story and not still stuck hopefully we get a great story to come and and more new characters to add to that story.
So another SF6 video, what can I say I am still hyped beyond belief! Today we are talking about the plot and the characters. What we know about the evolution of the characters themselves, both from official sources and a bit from the leak, and also what exactly is the shape of Street Fighter 6's plot moving forward? Bison is 100% confirmed defeated and Shadaloo is destroyed, yet going by what we know things are heading towards disaster!

Ryu needs to give Ken his headband back so Ken can focus!
I'm super stoked for SF6. Glad that we finally get more story stuff since it seemed like season 4 and season 5 of SFV set up alot of cool ideas and it didn't feel like they were too scared of trying different stuff.
They might do an Alternate for Ken this time.
I would absolutely buy every piece of DLC for Gorilla Bison that does psycho crusher.
Good for Ryu and the Satsui no Hado. But still, i kinda hope for a Evil Ryu or a Violent Ken return. Violent Ken looked like fun in SvC Chaos
I'm pretty sure that is what his trigger will be in this game. Ken was stronger thsn Ryu in all the games except I think 5 but he still might have been. In this one they call em washed up and so fourth. He might go violent cause of this jp guy and Ryu has to get him back together
I'm so hyped for this! The last SF game I played was SF2 when I was 10 years old. I'm so ready to go back into my childhood and try this amazing looking new Street Fighter game!
I think Violent Ken will be cannon now
I’m even more hype with all the leaks
Ryu is free of Satsui No Hado for as long as he lives. That sounds great, but Ken’s now thinking of picking it up… I can’t wait for the story!
I like how Ryu is starting to reminds Gouken.
Capcom finally taking notes from MK and Tekken with their respective lores. SF is moving on to the next generations, and it could be dope.
Personally for Ken, I think it’s more of Eliza and him argue over him always trying to be like ryu, they argue (somethin somethin you’ll never be ryu you gotta be a family man) then he leaves TO train, while he’s out someway somehow mel ends up dying (which is why he wears his dogtag and the armband, iirc the armband represents someone dying like how cloud wears one for aerith, same with the tag) and from there he spirals from guilt cuz of I mean dead kid and wife left and ends up not wanting to fight anymore, which is why he can’t use fire
From there whatever bad corporation #87 learns Ken is washed so he’s an easy target for brainwashing, and bam violent Ken is cannon
Bit darker then just “ryu I lost my fucking apes” but I’d kinda like a direction for that with Ken
Ryu tried to be like Ken growing up. It's not him trying to be like Ryu, it's him trying not to lose the power he once had. Ryu literally only could beat Ken and barely by using Dark Hadoe. Nowadays they do Ken DIRTY
@@SoraX66z That was growing up, nowadays with Ken having a family and Ryu overcoming the Satsui no Hado, leaving to train with Oro, and using the power of Nothingness he’s 100% stronger
Ken got brainwashed in the first place in the whole violent Ken story cuz his mind got weaker because of jealousy
Evil Ryu is gone, but Evil Ken on the other hand...
* grunge Ken
I’ve always been interested in the street fighter story lines, but I never really knew how it went before the games I played (4 and 5). I’d love to see a video recapping everything that happened previously to prepare for the new game.
I am VERY interested to see what Capcom does with SF6's story.
Ken is very intriguing. I know I'm not the first to say it, but if the leaks are true about him being so down that he is unable to use flames in his Shoryu-reppa, it is highly possible that he could be tempted to use Psycho Power by JP (or someone else) due to his frustration with his regression, which would obviously be the creation of Violent Ken. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Ryu giving his all to bring his best friend back from such a dark place?
There are also two things that I wonder about that may apply to the overall story: Rose talking about the past being the key and, oddly enough, the leaked video of Cammy's super where it shows her new design fighting her old one. Now it could just be a different skin, but it could also be that time travel will be involved, and we could get old school designs along with the new ones, which would be tight as hell! SFV did have Story Mode skins for each character along with the default skins, so it is a possibility! Fingers crossed for a SFIV Abel skin for Mimi!
At first I thought "Who the heck is Baizen?" even after you mentions Shadoloo multiple times. Your pronunciation of Bison's name sure is different 😅
welcome to canada
Am I the only person who depised Evil Ryu? For a character who isn't canon, he stayed around for way too long. I get that people were hyped for Daigo's 1-frame E.Ryu combos in SF4, and liked Kage design in SFV, but that persona goes against everything Ryu is as a character. It sucks to keep seeing him saddled with "murderous intent" when he's constantly made efforts to train hard and resist the strong influence throughout the series. If you've ever overcome a bad or negative influence in your life, you dont want to be associated with it anymore. I'm happy of the direction they're taking with Ryu.
I hope we can have fun characters and hype matches without having to go back to the edgy shoto well.
Dude this was the best video and explanation of SF6 thus far 🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾 STOKED they’re finally moving past SF3 now and SF6 looks MASSIVELY better than SF5 and I couldn’t be happier 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Man you don't know how hype i am for this to go past Third Strike. I've been asking for this ever since SFIV. THANK YOU CAPCOM!!! FINALLY!!!!
Society has progressed past the need for Evil Ryu.
Society?? Pffft. For you maybe, but for the rest of us SF players, he's still a fan favorite and pretty viable imo. Still doesn't mean I won't buy the game when it comes out just because there isn't one character I like in it.
@@Gideon13397 It's a meme phrase ._.
hope they'll get around to explaining G in SF6
God I’m so glad we won’t have Evil Ryu anymore
Dlc is still a thing, from the story yes you dont get him, but we all know if so many fans want it they will do it, but with no story he is just there 🤣
@@zerom.7642 I really doubt we’ll get him as DLC if the website is saying Ryu has overcome the Satsui no Hado, but I’ll gladly eat those words if I’m wrong. He’s a very popular character after all. I just don’t care for him
Evil ryu = wanna be akuma......
Little brother that tried to hard to be
Cool and edgy .
Now I just imagine some kid going up to Luke and asking him if he likes games, and Luke saying he loves PC games, but then Luke tenses up when the kid asks him if he's played something like Five Nights at Freddy's.
I want the gorilla just so I can put him a against Blanka and here "You'd never survive in the jungle!!!" 😂🤣
That Russia guy from neo shadaloo is going to kidnap weak ken and turn in him into violent ken.
Ken jealousy for Ryu is going to play its part.
Violent ken will have spycho powers.
So glad the satsui no hado/ evil Ryu arc is finished.Imagine if every kof game was still dealing with the Orichi saga
Yes but the only saga that had nothing to do with Orochi is the nest saga and this one ...maybe
As much as I love evil ryu and want him to be in this game I feel like he won’t be in at all and I think that’s right move too I would say that I think he shouldn’t even be dlc but might be a little extreme lol
yes finally! some time line progression!
Capcom should have followed the Street Fighter 3: Ryu Final manga and gave Ryu the Evil Ryu scar on his chest. In the manga Akuma punched a hole in Ryu's chest allowing Ryu to super hadoken Akuma at point blank range to kill him.
I wanna see what Ryu has picked up from Oro he was training him in part 3. I hope the younger characters like Yun Yang Makoto Sean and Elena show up again I’ve yet to see a boxer and Dudley gave Ryu a good show in the Ryu Final book also hope crimson viper comes back at some point. Maybe Seth can be hunting Neo shadowloo since he’s obsessed with bisons essence. Maybe to absorb them like Cell did the androids in DBZ and become a complete fighter with new moves and a new look. I’m definitely excited
If Sean does show up, he's gonna be the new Dan since I heard Dan got buffed in the recent games.
@@CTback I hope not. Not if it’s been over 10 years since SF3. I hope if Sakura come back she not still a school girl. Karen a business woman but I’d hope she’s either on top or on bottom of the family biz or breaking out on her own. They done something interesting with Ken change is good keeps old chars interesting instead of introducing new chars each game and then getting rid of them ahem crimson viper
Drinking game: have a shot each time rooflemonger says “Byzen” 😂
Basically, this is Street Fighter's version of MK: Armageddon. Only you can create your own Shujinko.
Oh wait, Shujinko was MK: Deception. MK: Armageddon was Taven.
Street Fighter's finally trying to catch up to Mortal Kombat...😎😎😎
Emotional Damage Ken is here to fight😭
His new moves will be bad or broken, because if he struggles to do attacks, so you can fake out attack ? That is like next fighting skill 🤣
I thought violent Ken used psycho power! I'm hoping Sean makes a return but Luke's dp and super seem to pull from his move set pretty heavily. I'm also hoping to see akuma's submarine tearing super from his ending in 3rd strike!!
Hey, anyone else notice the energy coming off Jamie’s hand at the end of the trailer?
Possible Psycho Energy?
There will probably never be another evil ryu, because ryu got rid of the satsui no hado, and reached enlightenment. The satsui no hado created kage, which means shadow in japanese.
Kage is basically the shadow of satsui no hado that resided in ryu. That manifested itself to look and fight like ryu. You will notice how his moveset seems like he still has alot of training to do. Which hopefully in sf6 he comes back more polished.
Thank you for this update sir
Being a huge Gorilla Grodd fan, I too second the Neo Shadow Loo Gorilla DLC.
Thank goodness Capcom has finally seen it fit to move past SF3 at least in a story sense, whether or NOT this game becomes the new beloved tournament and gameplay darling remains to be seen
What are the odds of getting a street fighter lore video covering the whole story, a la king of fighters?
Eventually for sure closer to launch. The problem is KoF lore is very well defined and clear cut. SF lore is kinda everywhere lol. We STILL, TO THIS DAY, do not know who won the street fighter 2 tournament, the most important tournament in fighting game history.
Evil ryu may be gone but I hope he’s still playable 😉
Dlc maybe only way
Kage is his own seperate character and was done that way lore wise so they can have Ryu move on from that still while still also being able to keep a character thats basically evil Ryu
He also tried to haunt both sagat and akuma .... and necalli benefits from
Him in his win quote.
@@Lupo32 yeah haha its coolhow they did it basically just the satsui no hado from inside Ryu given physical form
The mystery power trying to destroy the world is Pyron! A dark stalkers crossover
Ken going through some shit. Finally you can feel like the underdog playing him
Any character with about 4 moves each is indeed gonna be in the game expect for those of bison balrog and Vega who I believe are not making it to a playable roster they where boss characters from sf2 and I don't expect gill to make a appearce
And Seth is another story
Oro can come back if he's got a role to play in
Evil Ryu is dead.
Capcom: Now it's time for Good Ryu.
Sf Jesus
I would love to see a violent ken, consumed by satsui no Hado. I'm sure he'll be dlc after the game is out about a year.
Not consumed by dark hadoe. He tried thst before and it didn't work out. Violent Ken I'm for certain is his trigger. Jp is gonna be the boss and also his reason for sticking around
Kage is now gonna be like a dormant Volcano.
I am guessing Ken will using satsui now since how he looks. Akuma and Ryu already master the Satsui somewhat. Now that we have serious Ken I think it would be likely that he will finally use Satsui somewhat now and struggle with it. Rather then evil ryu we get Evil Ken.
Ken found out about it before Ryu from what I remember. He was the first to stop Ryu during his first evil struggle. Ken looks like he has evil in him. I guarantee that's his trigger.
@@SoraX66z Ken never found out before Ryu and he never stopped Ryu when he lost control. It was Sakura who stopped Ryu in the SFIV Movie by hugging him.
The problem that i have with sfv is the input timing but if that can be a bit time for the imputs that have screwd me much in story mode. If they fix that im in for sf6
Yun and Yang in this game would be amazing and would fit the atmosphere perfectly
The fact that balrog,sagat, and vega arent in the game is a crime still hype tho
VIOLENT KEN!? That would be dope to see!
I might be wrong but I think In the comics rose mentored a girl who took interest in psycho power which made a connection with bison on the past so somehow he was able to resurrect himself.
Evil ryu came from another dimension so you never know what character could show up.
Perhaps you should do some Street Fighter lore videos. Like you did for the Sagas of KOF.
I think I will, but closer to whatever the release date of SF6 is. Gonna have my hands full with season 2 of Strive soon
@@Rooflemonger fair points. But as a fellow lore lover, it'd be great to see.
Do a second video of the greater lore, and start with "The Story of T. Hawk!"
Luke and probably Jaime are the new NEW GENERATION....but I bet sf 6 will revolve around Ken and his redemption arc! :D
Bison corrupts people but Ryu inspires people. Final ending def has to be Ryu and friends/protags (Sakura, Charlie, Alex, Abel, Rashid, Luke) vs Bison and Falke and Ed and Gorillson and Otherdudeson
well.. yes Evil Ryu is gone narratively, but there is still Kage to Serve that Playstyle and judging by the redesigns we could get excited^^
They really should give him alter ego like Ryo, where his alter ego is Mr Karate,where he's actually super badass. Give him alter ego as wondering master or something like that.
I can't believe they put Ryu so low that he stand the same level as Luke, which is only born few months ago.
DENJIN shin shoryuken?? Since when has anyone air recovered from a regular one?! Why would they need to be electrocuted on the way up? Maybe it serves to make it unblockable?
C'mon Chun, back of the head shot on a little kid? People go instantly blind with those! Funny how she got kicked though.
Neo Shadaloo, Neo Umbrella, dammit Capcom loves the word Neo.
I wonder instead of a divorce, Ken is going through a mid life crisis arc. I mean he's wealthy, he trained with Ryu for years, he got a family. At some point I can't help to think of The Incredibles. Everyone's moved on, Chun Li became a teacher, Ryu seeking to reach grander heights, but Ken was already at the top. Now his business could be stressful, his family gotten more older, so that adds the stress. So probably Ken wants to go back to "The Glory Days" of his life.
I know most of the attention is on Ken and his whole "new" situation. But what I want to see is how the new characters get involved in the story, not just JP but everyone. At the same time, we have seen the intense emphasis in Metro City, this makes me think of a subplot centred on the Mad Gear Gang for those characters that could not fit into the "Psycho power is evil and is going to destroy the world " plotline, like Jamie or Kimberly.
I just want to know what happened directly after Gills ending in sf3
It rained for 40 days & 40 nights
Gill had all those fighters build a big boat
And nah I'm just 🐂💩
Anyone else who saw the trailer and yelled "Li Fen?!?!" When they saw Chun Li fight that young girl who might be her apprentice?
man I hope they bring out the gorilla and make him a boss and make him playable some how that would be awsome. I'm so glad their moving forward with the story and not still stuck hopefully we get a great story to come and and more new characters to add to that story.
“She took the kids, ryu…”
