I always believed that the 3D models featured in SF IV, and V looked too bulky. Luke’s frame, and build have changed considerably. For the most part Luke seems much more approachable in his SF6 makeover. ![]() The new leads are Luke, and Jamie, recreating the partnership of a white guy brawler, and lightning quick Asian martial artist. Street Fighter 6 actually seems to be a return to that idea. Thankfully they did, but many long-time fans were left wondering what if the SF series had gone down the path of an open world brawler. Arcade owners, and studio heads asked to change the title, and work on a proper SF sequel. The new game would still feature lots of fighting, but a bigger narrative to go along with it. The remaining members at Capcom decided to capitalize on the popularity of Double Dragon, and replace Ken, and Ryu with Cody, and Guy respectively. They would go on to develop the Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and King of Fighters franchises. Some of the team that created the original SF had left Capcom to join SNK. They gym itself appears to be the very same one that Cody, and Guy were training in at the start of Final Fight more than 30 years ago.įinal Fight was originally dubbed Street Fighter '89. He played Cody in the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition trailer. Wrestling fans would note his pose appears like Kenny Omega's "V-Trigger." Omega is a huge gaming fan, and pro wrestler. He strikes a familiar pose before he smashes the bag with his hardest strike. We see Luke punching a heavy bag in the Metro City Gym. We get an entirely new take on the young striker in the SF6 trailer. Luke is still central to the plot, but his appearance has been altered somewhat. ![]() There are eight women from around the world, and five of which are brand new characters. The new game seems to have five returning blonde, and light skinned characters. Following the pushback on Luke, the leaked lineup for Street Fighter 6 was like night, and day. That’s right! There were third-generation Street Fighter fans being introduced to the series, and many had never even seen an arcade cabinet to begin with! It’s not hard to imagine that the millions of fans around the world were feeling left out of the conversation. Some of these Gen-X players raised their own children on the franchise, and a few had even become grandparents. I remember playing with oversized foam buttons in the arcade way back in 1987. People had followed the series since the original was released. They were gaining momentum in cartoons, and comics, in the pop culture convention circuit, in the cosplay community, as well as in gaming tournaments. The amount of native, Black, brown, and minority Street Fighter fans the world over had never been bigger. Just for the record Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition had 12 blonde, and light-skinned characters (13 if you count Rainbow Mika). By the time Luke was announced it was 21 consecutive years of not letting any other minority sit in the driver’s seat. It had been tried before with Alex in Street Fighter III, and Abel in Street Fighter IV. There was nothing I could have said better about the disappointment of seeing another blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white character get set to carry the franchise. I mention some of the responses on my original take on Luke in Street Fighter V. Could there have been a native, Black, brown, Asian, or female character in that spot instead? When Luke was unveiled as the new star of the franchise, Capcom got a lot of heat online. The global community saw every slot taken by mostly white characters as a missed opportunity. One of the inescapable things that the studio had done, aside from the silly fat joke characters, and fourth-wall breaking gags, was the insistence of adding blonde haired, blue-eyed characters across Street Fighter IV, and V. He was let go in 2020 to join another company. Yoshinori Ono who, to be honest, I never cared much for his direction of the series, was said to have been rubbing the team the wrong way with his ideas, and development of SF6. The reason for this secrecy was foreshadowed following the release of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Despite everything revealed in the trailer, the team itself is still playing their cards close to their chest. Street Fighter 6 Director: Takayuki Nakayama, Producer: Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, and Designer: Yusuke Hashimoto have talked about the game, features, and community briefly. ![]() Survey Capcom User Survey 2023.I think it’s fair to say that the team working on Street Fighter 6 has been paying attention to feedback from the community more than previous teams. ![]()
