M Bison coming back for SF6 was quite the surprise tbh.

He kinda even feels like the Heihachi of SF because of how pivitol he is to SF. PLus, this guy can't even die. Like at all lol.

Psycho Power has to be some OP drug to have this guy keep coming back, even from a PoN charged Hadouken lol.

Akuma additions from Street Fighter 6

Here we are with the periodical Street Fighter 6 update (super late, but that's my life these days). Today's newcomer is Akuma. Sadly he hasn't received any major update, but a few more things are there to be added nonetheless. Such additions are once again not enough to warrant a new key, so...

So there is a game called Cannon Spike and Cammy is there and supposedly survives an explosion that some calced in gigatons range

First time i hear of it, let alone Cammy to be part of it, is that suppose to be canon?

 

[SamanPatou]

Vega, Nash and a bunch of other Capcom characters (Mega Man, Arthur, BB Hood...) are also in there but it's considered a unique game and separate canon, even within side material that reference it, like Teppen and the SFV costumes.

Vega is still around and hinted he may return due to Bison being back

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Balrog also seems to be still around talking about Shadaloo and Ed organization

[Qliphoth_Bacikal]

So going by Bison's win quote against Ryu as well as his story mode + various chars win quotes against him, that's supposed to be the same Bison that everyone in the series knows and thought should be dead dead huh?

And oof, Vega and Balrog not only being around but even consider potentially coming back to Shadoloo? That ain't good, although Balrog's ambiguous considering there's Ed and the Neo Shadoloo he's more or less running. Wonder what JP would think and react if he heard Bison is potentially back lol. I read Fang's in the game but I forgot if he's interested joining back to Shadoloo or not.

We have interview confirmation its the same Bison we know, with the body from SF5

Some characters also point out he isnt at his best with the body, which was a given from how he looks

 

[Qliphoth_Bacikal]

Given his animation when he wins at critically low health, that's a given.

The Psycho Power is still barely holding him together it looks like too, adding to your comment about him not looking well.

Something about the Ashura Senku (Street Fighter)

This will be as brief as disappointing. Are you all familiar with the Ashura Senku, right? That move that Satsui no Hado users utilize to phase through projectiles and other attacks? So far it's been considered a form of Intangibility, since no attack could harm the user for the duration of the...

Here we are, I shouldn't have missed anything, if I did please let me know.

M. Bison: Dawn of a New Tuesday

You know the drill already, this time is M. Bison's turn to make a glorious come back. First of all, he needs a new key to represents this new state of his, as he has lost much of his power and is substantially an almost entirely different person. For evidence of him being weaker than before...

So i was watching an isekai anime called Cautious Hero and look who showed up in one of the episodes

"E. Honda" also appeared but i dunno if its safe to post it, given he wears very little as a sumo person

[Tonygameman]

The developers' love on a Real Bout era truly shows.

 

[SamanPatou]

I was afraid of how he would have looked in the SF6 style, but he's actually very sharp and neat! The face looks "harder", maybe a little aged, but it's part of his charm here.
Glad to see Damnd sitting in the cafè, add even more color.
I wonder if they'll put more bootleg FF characters' costumes.

 

[CrackerVolley]

Also, Lao got his ass beat again, as is tradition.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Got myself SF6 given the summer sales along some other games, forgot how the window for inputs to link moves can be tight

How many of you have the game on your hands playing? Could be neat to play some sets in the future

Why does Guile's Sonic Boom description in SF6 imply that he does the Sonic Booms by crossing his arms at high speeds rather than ki based shenanigans

Can you post an image of that?

 

[SamanPatou]

I think they refer to the description given here which is identical to the one in-game.

Evil Ryu/Kage, Oni, cant top literal manifestations of dark hado

Evil Ryu/Kage, Oni, cant top literal manifestations of dark hado

I think Vega is one of the more horrible ones though

 

[BlackDarkness679]

I think Vega is one of the more horrible ones though

You mean Vega the one with the claw or Vega as in dictator

Since names are switched in japanese and english

English: M. Bison (dictator), Vega (claw), Balrog (boxer)

Japanese: Vega (dictator), Balrog (claw), M(ike) Bison (boxer)

If you wonder why the changes of name, is cuz Mike Bison is similar with Mike Tyson which had a scandal with him at the time

Anyway the dictator has shown mercy at times, at least if it gains him benefits, the ones mentioned could care less of mercy or show any, they are human in the slightest, while former is a human whom got very high in power

The Spanish man with a claw

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Yeah he aint more evil, he is a gentleman

 

[SamanPatou]

Vega's a sadistic and psychotic murderer, but with enough sanity and chivalry to not make him a total monster.
Balrog isn't really super evil, is selfish and not stranger to killing, surely far from being a saint, but not even a devil.

Bison on the other hand has a full collection of crimes and sins including genocide, murder, mass destruction, running the world's underworld, weapons and drug trade, money laundering, bribery, warlordism, being a traitor and a literal dictator, human experiments, child abuse, brainwashing, controls a power that literally stems from cruelty and chaos and feeds off fear, despair and hate. He has also tried to replace the will of every single human being with his own and the list goes on and on and on...

For all the widespread variety of evil deeds that Bison has committed willingly and voluntarily, I'd dare to say he is indeed more evil than the various Satsui no Hado madmen, as they did indeed embody carefree and meaningless destruction and murderous intent, but they are more akin to insane and uncontrollable forces of nature.

Of the many evildoers in the SF verse, I believe none reaches the same level of pure, hopeless cruelty and intentional disdain for everything that is good and for human life in general as Bison.

Isn't Juri Han a ****** or sum shit like that?
