I thought we posted this yesterday?

 

[BaldingAshCrimson]

Wow, that TMNT art is fantastic... I'm guessing it was done by Toshiaki Mori.

Was a bit disappointed there was no gameplay in that A.K.I teaser, but it's a teaser...

I hope they make her very distinct from Juri.
Her design is super cool.

 

[kanjobazooie]

This new character looks like she came out from a japan-only PS2 horror game.

 

[Fuz]

We have a contender for "stupidest hairstyle in the history of fighting games". Congratulations, it wasn't easy.




God, I hate modern character designers.

 

[Neff]

Shinkiro can't even stop Leonardo from looking like George Clooney

Like thas a bad thing

 

[Paltheos]

God, I hate modern character designers.

Most of the SF6 designs have been really good. My favorite is probably the Cammy redesign, which did away with the weird combo of leotard+heavy-duty boots+military cap and the silly long pigtails for tights, a high jacket that shows off her sexy, muscular midriff, and a practical bob cut. Great combination of practical and hot. DeeJay's character redesign gives him a personality outside of a creepy smile. JP looks menacing. Hobo Ken is a great idea. I could go on.

 

[Fake]

So, they remember to put Ryu and Chun-li in the main artwork this time?

 

[SALMORE]

they should have shown teasers for the all the remaining characters ! what they showed is not evo level

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Yeah that's 100% SHINKIRO. I don't give a fuck about the game but this might be the best collab this year.

 

[Soodanim]

The AKI trailer was beyond boring. It's not MK or Tekken, no one gives a shit about some random scene featuring a character we don't know or care about

 

[VeganElduderino]

Ninja turtles looks coool!

 

[RAIDEN1]

We need a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tournament fighter

 

[Robb]

That trailer was awful.

That trailer was awful.

It was a bad introduction to the character, for sure... It would have been better if they didn't show anything of her. And waited until they could show her actual gameplay, WITH that one scene...

I bloody hate them all. They're all overdesigned.

Overdesigning is the cancer of our artistic generation.

 

[RoboFu]

I do not like any of the new characters except Kimberly is okay.

 

[UnsanctionedBuffoonery]

F.A.N.G's wife?

 

[kunonabi]

I do not like any of the new characters except Kimberly is okay.

Kimberly is gimmick upon gimmick like most new SF characters but her alt look is pretty solid. Way better than her default anyway.

 

[Celcius]

Meh. Bring back FANG!

 

[Labolas]

I'm sorry but that character design looks fucking awful with that Moe Howard haircut. Capcom continues to have bad new characters.

Man, I have to hard disagree on Cammy's design. Her modern design is fucking boring and generic. Her bob cut makes look like she's balding. Give me her classic look all day.

 

[Arsic]

I always wondered what guile would look like with his hair down and AKI answers that question .

 

[mortal]

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

15 bucks for a TMNT skin? Pass.

 

[poodaddy]

God, I hate modern character designers.

Yeah every new character across the board has been a miss for me outside of Kim and Rashid, and not a single one of the new costumes for the characters are even half as good as their classic looks, except for Rashid again, whose classic is butt and his new look is outstanding. Other than those exceptions, what in the hell are Capcom designers smoking these days?

I miss 90's Street Fighter.

its still in the game and Its never going away, god bless.

 

[Pejo]

yuck, Aki looks uglier than I was expecting even considering SF6's awful art style. Continue to pass for me.

 

[Arsic]

Not down. That’s a man bun/pony that’s slicked back.

 

[Fuz]

It's this official? Pretty cool.

Look how cool can you be when you don't overdesign.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

They're all overdesigned.

Literally none of them are, what are you smoking...
Most of them are just wearing regular ass clothes, JP is literally in a suit + a cloak, Ryu has a monk robe + pants, cammy is wearing sweatpants + a coat, Chun li is wearing a qi pao + leggings; there's nothing "over" about these designs unless you live in the twilight zone.

 

[Damien Crowley]

Those TMNT skins are officially "costumes" so that they don't have to animate the fucking faces? Man, this is lazy shit.

 

[Kaleinc]

Wow, this artist is trash

 

[xiskza]

This character is a failure. Should've kept Phantom's design from FANG's story

All the new SF6 females are fugly. They've been MK'd

She is a goddess I choose death by snu snu.

 

[ToneyJ]

SF6 continues to be mid af. Glad I skipped it.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Her animations look SO good.

 

[Danjin44]

Her animations look SO good.

I know right! I’m blown away how good and smooth the animation is. To me animation in fighting game is most important part, this mostly have big issue with MK’s crappy in-game animation.

 

[Fake]

Her animations look SO good.

She is so photorealistic bad. Her artwork is far more better than this.

 

[Danjin44]

She is so photorealistic bad. Her artwork is far more better than this.

I think she meant to look creepy, especially based on her animation.

 

[GrayDock]

Amazing moves, looks like it's the fastest character till now. And I hate the poison mechanic...

 

[abstract alien]

I have my gripes with this game, but Jesus when the animation hits, that shit hits different!

 

[[Sigma]]

Her animations look SO good.

Oh yeah, i've found my second character. She got that Falke like alt costume(except without the all the terrible clipping and glitching lol).

 

[Fake]

I think she meant to look creepy, especially based on her animation.

I mean, if you are saying 'creepy' because she is pale? I never saw her as a 'creepy'. In the leaked artwork she looks more like a professional assassin or cold person. Remember the Street Fighter 2 anime that they treat Cammy like a assassin to hire? Is the way I saw her in this picture.


Now she is just acting like Juri clone. Is the only new char I was looking for and was kinda let down.

I kind of do agree with you, ever since Capcom switch to RE engine they keep making characters face more hyper realistic, with DMC5 and Resident Evil remakes and now Street Fighter VI.

The problem comes in SFVI they character still have exaggerated body, hair and custom but with realistic face which in my opinion it doesn’t work.

But with that all being said, I can’t help be blown away by how good the animation in this game.

 

[abstract alien]

They took Sajam's line from Evo and put it in the description

 

[Pejo]

Looks marginally better visually than her reveal. Kinda gives me "F.A.N.G. but better" vibes. Animations are slick but still there was no reason they had to make her so ugly. Also, curious how they balance poison.

Still not a character that I like enough to buy the game though.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

If Voldo and Juri had a baby, very cool design

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Some of the arm bars used for her throw animations look silky smooth but also violent. Here snake slither across the ground is fantastic IMO...totally sells the sultry/poison vibe.

Very impressed with what Capcom pulled off from a design then implementation perspective. I DO think her eyes look a bit too far apart on her face but doesn't really both me.

Capcom also is keeping up a great release cadence with their character releases so far!
