Street Fighter VI

[The Crumb]

Dudley's gentlemanly boxing is presumably a nod to Queensbury rules, the British standards which more or less define modern boxing so I reckon he counts as using a British style.

You could have a rugby type tackles and grappling guy, a Guile alike but in the royal navy and throwing wa'er blasts a Queen's guard who stays stock still until it's time for a devastating counter. Taking cues from Manon, a morris dancer. There's a distinctly British style of pro wrestling from the 70s and 80s but it would be shit for Street Fighter. So in summary, no more British fighters please.

I read somewhere that Dudley was inspired by Chris Eubank, not sure if that's true, but they are both black dandy boxers.

I want an Aussie thug character based on the late Chopper Read. It's overdue!

Mortal Kombat has Kano. Actually, I'm surprised Street Fighter hasn't got an Aussie yet.

In my day Kano was Japanese-American.

Then the movie happened.

I like Cammy but they really should have gone with Bartitsu for the British player

Or someone like May Whitley

Tekken has Aussie dickhead bruiser ex-con Craig Marduk, and Virtua Fighter has Aboriginal Australian Jeffry McWild. I think the only Aboriginal Australian character I can think of any video game. Don't know much about Jeffry's personality, I just pick him because he is one of the less boring VF characters.

EVO was great, unsurprisingly. No spoilers. Top 6 was superb. Several very very good matches. Really pleased with the winner.

A.K.I. looks sick, based on a non-combat teaser trailer. When I saw her design when they all leaked last year I had no interest, but this video makes her look very cool.

She looks a bit like Rhodes Boyson

I stayed up for SF6 finals, fell asleep during first match in losers.

Absolute fucking genius.

[Spiteface]

A.K.I. seems like an attempt to do a poison-based character, but cooler than F.A.N.G. from the last one.

I think they succeeded on that front.

The DLC character I'm waiting for of the bunch is Akuma, though. The Drive Impact mechanic would actually make it easier to land a Raging Demon as a finisher if a player so wished. And there is NOTHING as satisfying as doing that in Street Fighter.

Nah, new sweetest nectar of SF is finishing some Ken dickhead with Lily's daft critical art and it freezing on her making this face.

Love watching this game. Art style/animations in the fights looks amazing.

Feels like its been a good year for older series getting critically acclaimed and massively popular new entries. This, Zelda, Final Fantasy. It's exciting being in the middle of such a standout year for games of every scale.
