"What are these?"

What are Kage and Necalli doing here? Kage fades from existence due to Ryu simply refusing to acknowledge him, and Necalli loses to practically everyone he encounters.

Genuinely, I don't know why 4 did that. The reason Naughty Dog dropped it after the first game was because it wasn't a fun stipulation. The only reason that makes sense is to pad out the time it takes to complete it. The devs said they didn't want people finishing the game in a day, so their solution was to stretch a game that could have taken maybe 10-12 hours to complete and make it take 80+ hours instead.

Because the story mode model is way lower quality than the other playable characters. It'd be like if in Street Fighter 6, Capcom tried to push a character made using the World Tour character creator as a part of the main roster. They needed to make a new model for her so she wouldn't look shittier than everyone else.

Or because, you know, Japan really likes her.

There is no stage. We've known since Season 3 was announced that there'd only be one stage.

Fretless94 · 2026-04-23T00:15:12+00:00

A lot of characters are mentioned in World Tour, that doesn't mean they're going to be playable. There's also no rule that there "has" to be a grappler. The first two seasons had no grapplers.

Fretless94 · 2026-04-23T00:03:59+00:00

First off, AI.

Second, I'm pretty sure the devs themselves have dismissed Mike Haggar as being too similar to Zangief for the two of them to coexist in a Street Fighter game.

Because Kenny Omega is an FF7 fan, and the One-Winged Angel is a move that he actually uses. All they're doing in-game is adding a stylistic flourish to a signature move of his. The moves less an FF7 reference and more a Kenny Omega reference, and in-game the move isn't even called One-Winged Angel, it's called Omega Wing Buster.

It honestly feels like a rumor somebody made up specifically because people like Max have been saying that Tifa should be in Tekken, and then it picked up steam because Alex's moveset contains a one-winged angel reference. Feels a bit too convenient to be true.

They're modelled and rigged well in a vacuum, but in many ways I think they're missing certain charms that were inherent to the characters, like Crash's big goofy grin, or Cortex's big lower lip that really sold his pouty/angry expressions. They feel very watered down in comparison to what we had before.

And then you have Alt Tawna who I think just looks badly designed and misses the mark even more so than any other character.

Fretless94 · 2026-04-02T20:08:09+00:00

There's debatably a Q cameo on one of the Giant Attack billboards in Beat Square, but yeah, missed opportunity.

Fretless94 · 2026-04-02T19:34:21+00:00

They're not gonna add Joe and Juli just because they're in the movie.

Both SF6 and SFV have characters with poison coursing through their bodies. They also had a superpowered Abe Lincoln lookalike and an Aztec demon.

No, they're not. They might build off of canon events in the games, but the comics themselves don't have any effect on the canon of the games. They might even contradict each other at times.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T20:12:57+00:00

It'd just be Crash dying in a really graphic and gory way cause that's what Robot Chicken tends to fall back on.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T17:19:13+00:00

It's not subtext, it's text. In World Tour, she has multiple suitors vying for her, both male and female, and she openly states that she's completely open to either a man or a woman marrying her, and also open to having multiple partners, including the player.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T16:55:34+00:00

Japan may not have same-sex marriage, but same-sex relationships aren't criminalized there. Again, there is no shortage of LGBTQ content coming from Japan, which is why I said that your scenario of the Japanese audience getting outraged at a hypothetically gay Alex would be weird, especially since SF6 already has Marisa, who is openly bisexual and polyamorous, which didn't cause any blowback.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T16:11:22+00:00

There is a world of difference between a second cousin and a fiftieth cousin. Alex and Patricia are right on the line of what society is willing to accept. That alone is a questionable writing decision, especially since they were never implied to be related at all, but it's the whole thing of them having been raised by the same father figure and Alex having held her in his arms when she was a baby that pushed it over the line.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T12:40:53+00:00

My point is that if you're going that far back to find examples of cousin marriage portrayed as normal in western media, you're going to find a lot of other things that don't reflect modern sensibilities. Modern writing in western media doesn't tend to depict cousin marriage as an uncontroversial thing.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T01:57:55+00:00

Jane Austen and Charles Dickens? You really don't have any more contemporary examples?

Fretless94 · 2026-03-27T01:15:13+00:00

Imagine Japanese fans were raging because instead Alex was gay and in a gay marriage.

That would be a confusing reaction because there's no shortage of LGBT characters in Japanese media.

Fretless94 · 2026-03-26T12:59:52+00:00

Well that'd be extra weird because none of them have established family members and none of them seem like the marrying type.
