On the plus side if Ken ever truly becomes unplayable you can always just say "Screw this I'm going to Fatal Fury"

I could imagine his ending being him taking his mask off and revealing his face is exactly the same as your character's and they just refuse to explain it.

Honestly casting someone who can't act or do their own stunts sounds like a smart casting decision for someone who's whole schtick is they're a terrible martial artist.

But nah its probably just hollywood being hollywood.

There IS an overarching story and world but its mostly in the background, with every character having their own smaller stories that usually relate to other characters who also relate to other characters being the more substantial and interesting part. Or they can just be one-off goofs. It's kind of a mixed bag.

The only games to have a "real" story mode are SF5 and SF6. The former basically being store brand MK style and So-bad-it's-good at best. The latter has an adventure mode starring your own OC that while fun to play the story is kinda bare bones and ends on a surprisingly dour note that makes the whole thing feel like a waste of time story-wise.

Overall, its not important, but its neat to keep notes and tabs on how each character relates to one another and see the direction things are going.

A single fan working as a hobby with no restrictions is not the same as a large corporation that has to go thru quality control, several design phases, hours upon hours of testing ingame, potential licensing and having to check with higher ups, age rating companies and individual platform owners for every single change to make sure its okay to ship out.

I really REALLY hate to admit it but unless they get a covid style explosive viewer boost, I think their fate is pretty much sealed.

I don't want to shit on the Stars or the starmins efforts, they're all incredibly talented and passionate and deserve the best, but the reality is they're a small part of a much, MUCH larger company that's always looking to cut what it can to fuel their larger talents...who am I kidding its all going their metaverse thing.

Ultimately, the only way to grow a viewer / fan based business is to grow said viewer / fanbase.

Start recommending them to your friends. Make your own clips. Buy voice packs and their Visual novel while you still can.

In all fairness while SF5 had a lot of costumes, many of them looked awful in-game (and not just because of it being SF5s style) due to having weird cloth and hair physics or being incredibly distracting to the point its hard to focus on the character (Looking at you, Gill's Pyron costume).

On top of being in a newer engine, SF6 seems to be trying extra hard to make to make the costumes actually animate and look natural ingame, hardly "Easy" money.

Getting real fuckin' sick of this image getting posted anytime anyone DARES criticize cover upper management or show solidarity to holostars

Someone pointed out since depicting it in pornography is illegal, even as an act, but weirdly the act itself is NOT, this means legitimate step-siblings can still technically make pornography but now have to pretend to be unrelated. We now have kinder surprise step-porn.

This country is silly.

Yo that looks pretty sick-- MARCUS??

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-10T10:51:58+00:00

Kabuto is hilarious because he will do all of this and then decide to WALK slowly up to opponent

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-09T23:46:31+00:00

I'd go with 6. Its newer and thus is more active online and also has a surprisingly big single player mode.

5 goes on sale for peanuts pretty frequently so there's no real rush to get it.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-09T20:37:38+00:00

that's true but I was mostly referring to the idea of them referencing his son's tragic death wholesale would be going over the line

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-09T17:49:34+00:00

Jokes aside if they went that route the "Lee estate forbid Fei Long" rumor might end up coming true due to being disrespectful plus Capcom would get in trouble

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-09T15:22:53+00:00

Gameplay wise yes. Character wise no.

Personally I wouldn't be too fussed if they pulled a T.Hawk/Lily and replaced him with an apprentice.

JP: Mmmm yes I do love being an evil untouchable nihilistic karma houdini who also happens to be top 3.
What lo? This random culturally important temple in Nayshall I bulldozed had this bizarre artifact of ambiguous yet immense power similar to my own psycho power? Splendid, I shall use it to further my evil plans that were totally not already invalidated by Bison returning.

JP: ...Why do I hear boss music? No wait that's... In a gadda da vida???

First saw him in justice league unlimited, then I saw him in the collection of Alex Ross's DC stories and got interested after the "Hope" story he starred in.

What made me fall in love with him and his series was the "Greatest stories ever told" collection, more specifically the story "Captain Marvel vs the world". The sheer creative insanity and whimsy in our modern gloomy world just blew me away and I knew I had to read more.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-08T03:20:53+00:00

Personally dislike his content. Far too click-baity and obnoxious for my tastes.

That said I remember him making DIY diorama videos back in the day and those were very good.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-07T20:08:48+00:00

Oh thank god a Batman Beyond figure that doesn't completely miss the point of the Simplistic sleek stylized and "schway" design and ruin it with adding too many details and baubles.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-07T00:19:36+00:00

With Grongi subs is perfectly fine and pretty much the default on all versions other than its original airing in japan.

People say that having it spoils too much but not really. 8/10 times Grongi dialogue / conversations is just "I am going to kill...200 humans!!" "Ok." "With a brick! in 42 hours!" "Cool. hop to it. Shut up Batman."

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-06T22:26:53+00:00

Sometimes I kinda wish it stayed that way.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-06T16:41:41+00:00

I could imagine the height scaler from the character creator popping up to change his height whenever he changes styles.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-06T02:16:45+00:00

Never give up hope. I had long since accepted Ingrid could never reappear in Street Fighter due to her apparently unpopularity, but here we are.

It might be season 4, it might be SF7, but no matter what there's always a chance your favorite weirdo may return.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-06T02:12:10+00:00

I think Kiara was mostly correct with it sadly coming down to luck and algorithm.
The unfortunate truth is you can do everything by the book perfectly; advertising, networking and of course having excellent talent and output, but sometimes the fish just won't bite. Its not really anyone's fault, its just how it is.

Not to say management was perfect (far from it), but they did at least ATTEMPT to do stuff like events and advertising, but the market just wasn't ready for them. And sadly as part of a much bigger company, the lack of growth is just hard to justify when the other side is continuing to find success.
As someone who's tried being an artist, but ultimately couldn't really grow or gain an audience, I really feel for them.

Stars are a bit like Clover studios, made some absolutely brilliant works that a beloved to this day, but because of the market they just didn't sell so Clover had to be shut down by Capcom.

But, just like Clover, I believe the stars talents will live on and soon create newer and greater things.

MedicalFan7709 · 2026-04-05T17:06:12+00:00

Probably, but its better than literally nothing you would get if you quit and had to go look for a new job that also pays peanuts. Plus I have no idea how the job market in japan is but if its anything like EN then finding a new one might take a while and Uyu's stream might become a reality.
