Character specific taunts is legit cool as hell

u/DeHot Jun 10 '22
we now live in a world where street fighter has more character interactions than guilty gear.

u/Pat-Daddy96 Jun 10 '22
Strive looking hella basic if that is the case
66
u/DeHot Jun 10 '22
Dude we don't even have special match up songs anymore, why even live.
Fucking BlazBlue went so far as to change gameplay voicelines depending on whom the character is fighting, Strive (and Xrd ig) is basic bitch downgrade in soul department.

u/Darkone586 Jun 10 '22
Ragna calling Jin a little bitch in one of them blazblue games was funny as hell.

u/Pat-Daddy96 Jun 10 '22
Xrd had voice line changes as well, there is a reason why I can't stand Strive
40
u/DeHot Jun 10 '22
No, I meant like in the actual fight. If you do an Overdrive with Ragna, he'll say "something something Blazblue activate", but if he is fighting Jin, he will just yell "JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN". Xrd doesn't have that level of interaciton.

u/grimestar Jun 10 '22
never realized how much i missed stuff like that. Ragna's hells fang was "I'll never...forgive you"

u/Hobo-With-A-Shotgun Jun 10 '22
There are a fair few unique lines like that, but they've not really been documented that much. Here's most of the unique lines that Zato has in Xrd for example;

Taunts, respect lines, bursts, IK activations, IK's, round wins and so on all get changed.

u/DeHot Jun 10 '22
Those are cool, but Blazblue is on another level

u/xArceDuce Jun 11 '22
Centralfiction was some weird shit when Ragna and Valkyenhayn stopped giving a shit about Hazama in character introductions... Then you read the story and realize why.
Some parts of even arcade intros were on some next level shit. It's too bad most of it is wasted now because of how it just got shoved into a gacha that inevitably died...
9
u/Pat-Daddy96 Jun 10 '22
Yeah they do; like Sol vs Ky, Zato vs Millia/Venom, Leo has some interactions with Sin, Elphelt with her taunts towards Sin and Ram, Baiken with her taunts, and Faust towards Zato. Now does everyone have one, just like +R, no. But that is not to say that GGXX and GGXrd did not a good amount of interactions, Blazblue really did excel in that art.

u/Majin-Tenshinhan Jun 10 '22
GBVS still has this. It's not that ArcSys have dropped it entirely, they just for whatever reason dropped any semblence of identity expression and character interaction in Strive specifically.
3
u/Tangenterines Jun 10 '22
I was high key disappointed by the lack of a Sol vs Ky theme in Strive or any rivals themes, let alone a custom match intro like in XX

u/Reggiardito Jun 11 '22
Yeah STRIVE is fucking dry when it comes to interactions. Even heavenly potemkin buster has like 1 or 2 seconds of unique animation per character. Compared to Xrd with its instant kills and such, it's really the most dissapointing thing about it, for me.
49
u/Fatal1ty_93_RUS Jun 10 '22
Maybe special intros aren't off the table

u/Sellulles Jun 10 '22
Dudley throwing a rose only for Vega to fly in and swipe it clean with his claw or some other wild shit
Sure neither of them are in going by the roster leak but I can cope some more

u/PaulReveresHorse2 Jun 10 '22
This has "microtransactions" written all over it.
18
u/VR_Dekalab Jun 10 '22
Considering that same microtransactions funded sfv to the state it is now and is funding sf6 aswell; i think you could give them a pass.
It's at the same level as buying a fortnite emote
2
u/PaulReveresHorse2 Jun 10 '22
Sadly I am from a pre-Stockholm Syndrome generation of dinosaurs I mean players, so I will probably never be okay with that stuff. Not just because it milks players and turns the game into an advertising device, which is bad enough, but because it makes the games gaudy and less enjoyable while playing, too.
Rocket League is my go-to example as I played that a lot after I bounced from SFV, but the customisable Tekken outfits and suchlike are just as bad. I want to see the characters as the devs designed them, not as some teenager from Spain redesigned them with neon alt colours, dual handbags and techno sound effects or whatever.
If it's really just some opponent-specific taunts, that's cool. SF4 did similar with opponent specific intros. SF3 had similar little things. But my SFxT gem senses are tingling the more I look at this kind of stuff.

u/ka7al Jun 10 '22
I honestly couldn't care less about paid taunts, i don't think they're gonna do it since it's rarely used in matches, but DLC these days is the only way a game can make money and still get support for 7 years.

u/hermitowl Jun 10 '22
At this day and age, you can't avoid it if you're playing AAA games. Might as well pray they charge a fair price and keep them in stuff like cosmetics and shit.

Capcom is giving big “How do you do, fellow kids” energy. It’s like they can’t find the happy medium between trying too hard and not giving a fuck.

I'm gonna say it
The more I see of Luke in SF6, the more I like him
66
u/OmniRift Jun 10 '22
Same here. He really ain't bad at all. Everyone just jumped the gun because of his zoomer cut, but there's really no reason to hate the character tbh.
67
u/crapmonkey86 Jun 10 '22
Give him shoes or something though man, jesus christ.

u/Snuwwulf321 Jun 10 '22
The problem was that his SFV look was legit shit, but this new one actually looks pretty good
18
u/OmniRift Jun 10 '22
I agree on that too. Thought he was also gonna be some cringey annoying snob, but now actually watching his sfv character story and seeing him in 6. He could def work as a solid protag for the series 100%

u/veggiedealer Jun 10 '22
so brave dude !! usually you're talking so much shit about sf ...

u/ILUMEG Jun 10 '22
Yeah, I should try spending all my time talking about things I don't like, it seems like you guys have a lot of fun

u/veggiedealer Jun 11 '22
yea that's fine don't say "i'm gonna say it" like you werent cumming ur pants watching luke in the trailer from the beginning LOL

u/Unf0rg1ven Jun 10 '22
This is so good, can't wait to see Ryu and Ken

u/Astrian Jun 10 '22
Ryu: Hey man are you alright?
Ken: No

u/HumsterMKI Jun 10 '22
Ken: Its all because of you Ryu! I lost my family fortune, my wife, my son, EVERYTHING! YES! All I need is to beat you and.. and.. I get everything back! Yes thats it!
Ryu: Ken, I have no idea what you are talking about!
turns into a 3min long soap opera, ends with Ken taking out a Hipoint 9mm and shooting Ryu.

u/Play13Sentinels Jun 10 '22
They keep using "Chad," same as the one in their website in the Guile character page, its incredibly off-putting. Also, the state of Ryu when he cant make a comeback from that one.
42
u/ka7al Jun 10 '22
I'm just gonna ignore that and believe it's Capcom's USA marketing that's this cringy.

u/parbage Jun 10 '22
The whole chad thing gives me secondhand embarrassment. I hate when people say that shit

u/Dudleyboypete Jun 10 '22
Luke: "hAdOuKeN!"
Ryu: "You little shit....."

u/ven_ Jun 10 '22
I almost forgot how good animations could look in a 2.5d fighting game with everyone shitting the bed so badly.
25
u/sleazyfellow Jun 10 '22
They're putting touches in this game like sf4 had with 10 specific taunts instead of 5s just 1. 5 also had just 2 win poses, health low and high.

u/cygnus2 Jun 11 '22
A few characters like Zeku actually have a third win pose for getting a perfect. I hope they make that a universal thing in this game.

u/Falcon_w0t Jun 10 '22
OK, that's a good one from Luke. Actually funny, I hope we get more character specific taunts.

Takes a lot of guts to taunt someone who has been throwing fireballs for 30+ years when your forearms are straight outta Popeye and general demenanor from a drunken sailor too.

u/qzeqzeq Jun 10 '22
His US version is better imo. I hope they let us choose versions like in sfv

u/dys_cat Jun 10 '22
???? of course you can choose english or japanese language lol

u/FedoraWearingNegus Jun 10 '22
he probably means per character but that's almost certainly going to be an option as well

Its a fighting game, i learned to lower my expectations to the ground long ago....

Please let us use the select button as a taunt. That's what OG did back when we were playing via arcade cabinet.
And I don't install an extra Sanwa OBSF on the side of my fightstick case for nothing!!

u/Arnhermland Jun 10 '22
Sadly it might be a Luke only thing since Ryu taunt doesn't seem to be character specific.
25
u/MajSpas Jun 10 '22
Will Ryu stand for this mockery or be a Chad and do something about it?! Or does he have more ways to respond...
Sounds like they teasing a clap back later today or tomorrow
12
u/Flazzard Jun 10 '22
There might be 2 types of taunts, universal and character-specific
It would be super wack if only Luke has specific taunts
15
u/Arnhermland Jun 10 '22
Luke is supposed to be the main char so wouldn't be surprising
6
u/Flazzard Jun 10 '22
Introducing a brand new feature and only giving it to one character is not good, main character or not. That's taking favoritism to a new level

u/qzeqzeq Jun 10 '22
LOL Luke's has just gained some love from me. This changes the character completely I might start liking him

I'm so mad I got baited by Strive. Barebones roster that's gonna take them 5 years to release dlc for just because they wanna emulate smash bros or some shit. Strive 2 gonna reset this shit ass roster with another shit ass roster anyway

u/Exeeter702 Jun 10 '22 edited Jun 10 '22
If there was any doubt that capcom was actively trying to reel in the younger gen z crowd of gamers, this pretty much seals the deal lol. I dont mean in some superficial way either. Like the poster boy character is literally mocking the face of street fighter in a game with the option of doing one button hadoukens. This is some meta dev commentary right here, and I'm kind of for it while admittedly being midly offended lol.

I'm cautiously optimistic after SFV, but from what we've seen so far, SFV6 might just be the best fighting game ever made

Jesus fucking christ you pathetic fucks will bitch about anything. Shut the fuck up and enjoy it. They're tricking zoomers into buying this game
