SF6 Critical Art no camera angles

[@WolfHunner]

Seeing the amount of height Manon gets makes it look even more brutal

[@josepass2563]

She need to join the NBA with that airtime dayum

[@okami4683]

How high up Ryu hits someone, too. How far Marisa hits them looks like something out of Looney Tunes. Guile's hits them and they teleport back into frame for the somersault. Interesting how they move them around for camera angles and placement. Without the cinematic angle, it looks like they're being teleported around.

[@pigglesgoomshby7249]

[@timeparadox999]

It was quite interesting to me. That is why I am recording Tekken 8 tonight. So we can compare.

[@kamatariedgar3603]

Capcom did a post last night about that, i really like that everyone have a part and credit for the final product ❤️

[@psihypo]

It's the same for RE4 remake too. Cutscenes look so natural and seamless, but every camera cut = a lighting change. They put in a lot of work!

[@gooniest]

0:48 this CA became a hood classic as soon as Marisa hit the A pose off camera

[@iDrKx]

the fact you see the opponent arriving at the wall and her basically just waiting is hilarious for me too lmao superman toss type stuff

[@Wolf_TheLoneOne]

2:55 God-DAMN! I felt that punch. Ken's CA just got a lot cooler.

[@SvarogAristaeusAllen]

When you see how much height they're getting it manages to look even more brutal, like you might be a superhuman Fighter from Streets but I don't think you're surviving Juri's spine catch.

Each and every last one of these guys jumps like six feet into the air and land like it's nothing, and some of them literally have magic power blasts, and don't even get me started on the Shotos casually rotating so fast that the sheer speed of their legs is enough to propel them off of the ground like helicopter blades.

Yes, I enjoyed it too. I am presently recording Tekken 8. That was wonderful. It truly grabbed my attention.

[@jaysanj152]

This screams "Work Smart not Hard" By cleverly tweaking camera angles,These animators deceptively brings out some of them most coolest dynamic looking animations but also more importantly saves them a lot of time instead of animating everything.

[@GGROLER]

Exactly. It is. You said great.

[@loadedexcrement]

To be honest, this is alot of what video games actually are in general. Lots of clever tricks and lots of smoke and mirrors. Pretty sure it used to be common practice to load objects that characters use (weapons, or props used in specials) under the map and would just warp them into the right spot when needed to avoid spot loading hitches.

[@reawakeneddemon6478]

Akuma just goes back to his classic raging demon but now we can see what's going on

[@GGROLER]

Yeah. I was also excited to watch it.

[@dulcrown929]

Well is not that he summons a bunch of akuma , is a representation of how fast he is, he apears to be atacking from every point

[@TheCyborgMC]

@@dulcrown929 I'm not so sure that's it. I could be wrong, but I've always seen it as him somehow manipulating the dark Hadou and taking a bunch of his attacks and then combining them all into one instance in time for a singular brutal attack. Basically like how the flash can have multiple versions of himself from different time frames performing a single task in one instance in time.

[@reawakeneddemon6478]

@@TheCyborgMC I think i saw somewhere that the shadows are the victims he claimed with the attack and now they're a part of him and he uses their essence to power the attack (i could be wrong but it's a nice theory i think).

[@annoymous88]

​@@TheCyborgMC this is more of a lost in translation when it become "Die A Thousand Death" in english. the phrase in it's original language means "Thousand Strikes in An Instance", meaning he is hitting that fast. it's more obvious in SF5 that he's zooming around the victim as his strikes sped up, unfortunately the game only register it as a measly 30 hit combo.

[@lovelyx33]

Manon’s seems like it was made to be seen in third person LOL

[@fishright7186]

some CA are actually cool af in this angle

[@Sharky_0456]

i feel like they are a lot better with the added camera angles in this angle they are more like jank 3rd strike supers with dooms and weird teleporting either way its still cool to see behind the scenes but i definately prefer the original supers

[@rafaroo]

Damn, without the forced camera angles it makes the fighters look so much more powerful. Ken looks like he just straight up murders you.

[@Emezie]

This is amazing. A lot of work and planning go into creating these cinematic experiences. The perfect camera angles, background special effects, stage positioning, etc...and that's before we even get to the actual animation.

[@j-kreed4419]

Love that Gief's is just a recording of an atrocity.

[@themememaster7844]

This makes me respect the process even more because of much work the camera angles do to sell the attack and its impact. Its also cool to see it from this perspective because it shows just how powerful each of these fighters are with how high they jump and how much force their attacks deliver. Makes us feel like outsiders to a street match between demigods.

[@quandary23]

cammy’s execution kick looks way more brutal without the angle

[@thesalinator3557]

The impact on Manon's CA is insane

[@JhoanSebastianTangarifeMoreno]

Sit down and shut up looks so amazing !! The height and the speed at which the punch launches the enemy is brutal

[@ReconHunter101]

You know, apart from appreciating the camerawork more, you can also appreciate how the visual effects/lighting enhance the impact on these.

[@mastertjt56]

I love it when people do this, makes it cool to see everything going on.

[@Sharky_0456]

i like how you also include a square with the original super

[@GGROLER]

I'm glad you like it

[@shoukaiser]

As an animator, these comments are disappointing and disheartening lol. 1. The intention of the ultras/cas is to provide a cinematic, different angle and get up close to the characters so you can see them in a way you don't normally get to, and build more of a connection. SF4 was brilliant with this. Supers have minimal camerawork to stay normal in the action. 2. Camera work is used to save on time and work to avoid having to animate unimportant parts that won't be shown. Character sitting down at a table? Those legs aint doin shit. Even a character making an expression might look like nightmare fuel when seen from even a 5 degree camera angle shift because sequences are animated to camera, not to be seen from all angles. 3. If someone is like, why don't they do these super complex motions in one take? Learn anything about film production please. It'll be fun.

[@Haka-f3k-u]

Just because its neat from an animators standpoint doesn't mean other people are going to not like what they like. You make it sound like it was animated for the sake of what animators and others at the company wanted/think fans wanted. Tell you right now that probably 99.999% of fans don't care, and most that do are animators themselves.

[@GayleHarrahs]

@@Haka-f3k-u I don't get that from his post at all. It just seems like an explanation of why the animations work the way they do from someone irritated by people who don't understand the subject. It seems perfectly reasonable to me whether fans care or not.

[@Kingdom850]

​@@Haka-f3k-u not about looking neat to an animator, go get educated like bro said and come back.

[@shoukaiser]

@@GayleHarrahs thanks Gayle. Its not about THIS IS RIGHT OR WRONG, but "this is why”. An explanation or reasoning isn't an attack or shame on someone's opinion.

[@swirlyglasseschan]

All these cinematic supers take way too long and take you out of the action.

[@demonico917]

This game is such a work of art, that sometimes I hop on the game just to go to practice, turn off the character voice in settings, turn up my TV volume a lot, and listen to Zangief's CA 3:09 over and over again. I can't stop listening to the CA start-up sound, the cheering in his CA, and the *I M P A C T* at the end. What a beautiful game you are, Street Fighter 6.

I agree with you. Exactly

[@sharifrowe7812]

I didn't realize the animations were actually happening in the stage. I thought they were some kind of separate animations with a fixed distance value determining where you'll end up on the stage once the cinematic is done
