Inevitably with such a short trailer (40 seconds), it was obvious that the fans would not have much to eat. But it’s underestimating the Internet to think that an announcement about such an anticipated title wouldn’t be dissected down to the smallest detail. Love isn’t so blind, and the tiniest details won’t escape fans everywhere. Overview.
The logo
Street Fighter has 6 new posts. This was the first joke thrown at the game’s featured logo. Players were quick to criticize it, finding it downright cheap compared to previous titles. Already the first thing that everyone noticed was the abandonment of Roman numerals in favor of Arabic numerals. Then, the most determined people researched the logo, and found a very similar one, available on a generic site for less than $100.
It is still unlikely that the logo presented is definitive. Capcom is probably still working on the visuals, so decided to go for something simple and forgettable. Or we come back to the first valve of the 6 messages, and such a logo would in fact be a trick taking into account people’s habits of always clicking to see their unread emails, or notifications from social networks, which would condition them unknowingly to launch the game. True evil geniuses at Capcom. (don’t hesitate to read our other conspiracy theories, such as the pope breathes, the dolphins too, the pope is therefore an undercover dolphin)
Ryu’s design
The first thing to notice about Ryu’s design is that he wears sandals which never happened in previous games, where he is always barefoot. The most popular theory about this is that after finally mastering his dark side, turning him into Satsui no Hadō (the demonic power wielded by Akuma), Ryu finally gained mastery over Kyosui no Hadō (the power of Empty). After taking his revenge on his master’s killer, he would have kept his sandals as a trophy. This would mark the end of his apprenticeship, and with his new shoes Ryu would affirm his change of mind. This would not necessarily mean the end of the journey for him, because after all a master is an eternal student. Nevertheless, it would still be a shame if this epic duel took place during a timeskip, and players are hoping that if this quest is to conclude, then it will be in-game and not off-screen.
All the details are scrutinized. All. So now the internet is wondering if Ryu really has more than respectable penis size or not. Three answers are possible:
- Yes, Ryu is a pony
- It’s a crease in the pants that gives this impression
- He wears a very tight fundoshi (Japanese traditional underwear) which hugs him a lot
The future and the RE:Engine
Street Fighter V’s colorful art direction seems to have given way to a darker vibe. The effect presented above shows a specific visual effect on Ryu which is reminiscent of the fourth installment of the license. Capcom seems to have chosen to use the graphics engine of the latest Resident Evil for the game, based on the trailer. They are unlikely to use a different engine for the game than for the latter.
The scars on Luke’s face suggest that Street Fighter 6 will take place well after 5, although it is not possible to determine whether these events will take place before or after Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (the last installment of the saga level timeline).
At the editorial staff, we also asked ourselves other questions, and we regret to announce sad news. No, it is not possible to find the full version of the trailer music. We will therefore have to wait for the next announcements, hoping that Capcom will allow us to listen to this piece in full, maybe with a demo of the game and who knows… In the meantime, don’t forget that the real announcement on Monday was that Darkstalkers would finally have a port to modern consoles.
