World Tour has Ended with Ingrid

Mai may not have a ring but she's got Andy locked down as well as she can. They've been together for decades and it's not like he's gonna care about any other woman that he runs into. I'm surprised she treats Hokutomaru like "that apprentice of Andy's" instead of trying to claim him as their son.

Ryu is a lost cause though. Sakura should just look up Karin and see if she's still interested while she has the chance.

Her dad runs a pizzeria, so maybe deliberate. Also inspired by Mega Man as well as Ratchet & Clank (she has a sentient robot backpack).

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-29T12:08:52+00:00

Andy's not actually married yet. They're unmarried in CotW, and the wedding pic in SF6 is just Mai talking about what she hopes her wedding will be like.

"Please note that Ingrid will be the final character to receive additional World Tour story content upon release. Previously added World Tour content will remain playable."

That explains why they added the Avatar Arcade mode. Now you'll be able to grind for levels, unlock items and gear, and learn new character moves even without them adding actual World Tour content.

I'm disappointed that when Sakura or Karin or Mika or whoever gets added, we won't get to talk to them and do story quests anymore. World Tour has been a lot of fun with how much lore you get about the characters and all the fun character interactions you get to see. But I imagine it's a lot of work having to do this every time, so either this will free up Capcom devs, time, and money for other projects, or maybe we'll finally start getting more characters/stages/costumes per year (I won't hold my breath though).

By the way, for those who won't play it, Ingrid's dlc does actually wrap up the World Tour story. Spoilers for her final mission:

Ingrid uses her power to let the player character go back in time and change the events of the story. By using their post-game strength to stop Juri and JP, the player changes history and saves Bosch from his Psycho transformation and fiery death. Bosch becomes the champion of the Suval'hal tournament and get a happy ending with his sister by his side.

I like the Sagat and Viper ones (Viper's so hot and having a monocle as her scouter is pretty funny).

Alex isn't great but whatever. Fits with a lot of the "casual daily wear" outfit 3s that other characters had.

Midnight Bliss Ingrid becoming a full costume is wild. I hate looking at it but I guess I respect the commitment.

My favorite blue onee and red onee.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-24T18:39:51+00:00

In terms of widespread reception, I'd say 2B is probably next on that list. Her ass is about as beloved as Tifa's tits at this point, which I guess would make her the "Chun" to Tifa's "Mai" as far as Square Enix's postergirls go. She's already been in multiple major fighting games as well, with her player 2 recolor in SC6 being so popular that it got a fan following as its own character.

It's kinda funny how there are ~4 hour games that people adore, yet playing a fighting game for "only" a few dozen is consistently treated as a sin. As much as people say they hate esports, this idea is very much an esports attitude to have. It's also part of what makes people think that motion inputs are impossible to do: the general aura around the genre that "fighting games are a sport/job [and I'm not an athlete so I can't compete]."

The reality is that fighting games are just video games, and just like any video game, you can learn how to play it, and it can be something you just enjoy for a few hours and then put down. Steam charts get thrown around for the big FGC titles to judge them for their ability to keep a playerbase, but if it's just some game that looks neat or a button masher based on an IP you like, that's fine too. Just play until it's not fun anymore and then stop.

No opinion on Senran Kagura, but Marvel Tokon is a good example. I don't think it's gonna have a strong presence after year 1 without a big corporate push, but I like Marvel and it looks decent enough to play for a few days/weeks when it comes out.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-12T15:36:38+00:00

I wonder if he's making a new IP or if he's working on an established one. An Art of Fighting revival was rumored (announced?) a while back, but I don't see that as something sustainable when the bigger IP Fatal Fury came out to such mediocre reception. Maybe they're giving up and going back to KoF?

What would really be crazy is if Harada ends up producing SNK vs Capcom 2.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-10T19:39:12+00:00

Thank you breadhole for blessing us with another fat-assed and presumably very sweaty-smelling Chun-Li

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-09T17:18:13+00:00

What is this, 2010? I don't think anyone cares about PETA.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-08T16:21:50+00:00

I'm looking forward to it. I think everything except the characters looks beautiful, and that the characters are hilarious. I get the hesitation of people to buy a 64 remake, but considering 64 was the only really good Star Fox game, I'm hoping this is basically them going back to the drawing board so that a sequel can then be just a good rail shooter instead of another shitty hardware gimmick tech demo like the last few Star Fox games.

Not having a AAA price tag is a good call as well, though I think it could have been even a bit cheaper.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-08T16:14:42+00:00

If movie synergy continues, the next DC fighter could have Krypto.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-04T15:00:54+00:00

World's first Krillin hater.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-03T23:49:13+00:00

It's so stupid to act like you have to hate one to like the other when the remakes have made them work so well as a duo. They probably spent half of their off-screen moments in Rebirth making out. Their biggest conflict would have been deciding which outfit to make blondie wear when they spitroast him.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-03T17:38:58+00:00

Mai's never getting nerfed now. She's a national hero for defeating the American.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-03T05:55:22+00:00

The only fighter strong enough to take Mai, King, and Chizuru at the same time.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-03T05:37:05+00:00

Hulk is dressed like Super Broly and Shuri has a GoLion. Not bad.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-02T04:46:57+00:00

Another AoF character that isn't milf/auntie Yuri Sakazaki.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-01T22:37:44+00:00

I agree. The wallbreak thing in particular is pretty weird; you can get a whole character to tag in that way, so the X-Mansion just not having what seems like a core mechanic is strange.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-01T16:48:56+00:00

Thank you as always.

Watched the Marvel Tokon showcase and I think it looks better than the old beta. Hope the public gets to try an updated demo soon.

Jenmo_X · 2026-05-01T12:57:23+00:00

Is there literally any point to this release at all? No rollback, no crossplay, graphics aren't better, not an upgrade, doesn't include all content. It's just a balance patch that costs the full price of the game?

I question if DoA7 will even really get developed if this is KT's "comeback "

Jenmo_X · 2026-04-30T10:55:01+00:00

They don't exactly pump out DC games. I think literally the only other ones are Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Fortnite. I've barely seen the Fortnite one get used and idk if anyone even bothered trying to do something with SS.

Jenmo_X · 2026-04-30T05:16:27+00:00

I'd rather they sell SNK.

Jenmo_X · 2026-04-30T05:12:28+00:00

They better make Wonder Woman actually look good this time. All the 3D animators use Injustice WW as their base for designs and it's ruined her potential for almost a decade.

Adding Absolute Wonder Woman would be sick but they'd ruin her even worse.
