I think when is comes to the 2d animation style, we are well over due for SFA4! We have the SF3 cast, the new characters from SFIV and also the new cast in SFV. So what if they did a SFA4 type game with everyone in it with the different meters from various games in a new 2d hyper animated art style? This would bring everyone from each different SF game back together like how SFA3 did. I think this would feed the whole oh I want a 2d SF game itch. And to kick SFA4 off, they should release a new SFA complete collection with ALL versions with full online modes like vs, tournament, ranked, training mode as well as offline!

[@ANTIQUELEGEND82]

Oh and I do not want Remy over Guile ever! You can have both for SF6 not just Remy sorry! I hope Capcom does not put SF6 on tue Switch because it would hold the game back unless it is its own standalone separate version of the game! But yes SF6 needs to be on next gen PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. I also feel like having SF6 on last gen will hold is back some as well with it having better graphics and different input delay levels.

All you guys made me look at street fighter 5 and I’ve been a mk fan for years until I picked street fighter up I was having fun the inputs feel wierd but I’m totally down to grind street fighter it’s fun

[@GamersGoingBigGGB]

You guys rock really dig the show 👏 🙌

[@Maximilian_Dood]

Our remote podcast setup can make it a little weird to hear each-other talking at times. Ideally, we could all be in the same room and cast but it's almost impossible. In a few episodes we made some adjustments to hopefully alleviate some of the audio-ducking that was causing us to chat over one another. Simply put, sometimes we'd just not hear the other person speaking at all. Should be fixed in later episodes!

[@slyzertvoltrond8461]

Nice, keep up the good work guys!

LET'S GO JUSTIN!!!!!

[@C4sages]

I did see that. I’m sure he didn’t feel slighted, but yeah, Max forgot definitely forgot to mention Justin 🤣

[@ghostroses777]

Haha exactly, he’s too well known in the FGC.

[@miwiarts]

It's a courtesy thing. If he is so good, then he should be given the respect he deserves.

[@StroadMonday]

Justin didnt get chance to introduce himself, Max and Matt do tend to take over the show. They all have so much input, i wish it was more balanced. But i do love the podcast a great deal. Hope it continues long term

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

Justin needs to join into the flow of the conversation and be more active in the beginning.... Max can chill a little bit.. you can see he's very excited to talk fighting games with others who are as knowledgeable as he is.... But in the middle to the end of the podcast it all just comes together and they flow really well and you don't want it to end lol

[@MagillanicaLouM]

I guess maybe cause Max and Matt are more fun fact/dev trivia/character focused in their love of fighting games while Justin would obviously be more gameplay mechanics focused. Not that any of them of course don't have knowledge on the other but these kinds of discussions tend to focus more on the former than the latter, especially on a title we have no gameplay for yet. And also of course due to the nature's of their channels Max and Matt would find more ease with talking at length about this stuff than Justin would. But his input as the only high level competitive player is of course absolutely valued regardless

[@StarDragonJP]

I think it's more that Justin kinda passive but they could do a better job of including him. He waits for them to finish rather than trying to interject, so Max & Matt will have this long back & forth that will go on til one of them stops talking or asks Justin something.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

@@stevesteve0521 wouldn't playing obscure fighting games count as going outside the realm of what he knows anyway by definition? Lol

[@tyronjasonhuff]

What if....and this is a really hot take...their own individual personalities are flowing freely. If you know about justin even a little bit he vibes more loudly amongst his circle. Hes always been real chill vibes. And besides the rythm thats there flows. Not to say I wouldn't want more justin input. Just his personality IS.. .

[@primecoconut4204]

I can feel Matt and Max's excitement for the possible future that SF6 will bring and Justin Wong is just smiling and enjoying himself listening to these two men gushing over it to the max. Love it!! Hope Justin will get his chance to talk more in later episodes

[@jetsetdrift]

The official director for Street Fighter Takayuki-Nakayama from his Twitter was answering questions from a fan regarding the timeline to specific SFV Arcade endings. But most importantly, Nakayama confirmed SF6 would take place sometime after 3S. For example, the little girl seen in Chun Li’s ending is the same one she rescues in 3S. Nakayama clarified some of the arcade endings take place before, during & after 3S. With him specifically stating Ed forming Neo Shadaloo is happening during the events of SF3, Sean winning a tournament is Laura’s ending is set parallel to Ed’s ending. We learn the name of the Gorilla, which is seen in Ed’s prologue ending; Baba Miwalimu is it Swahili for Father/Teacher. Also, every member of Neo Shadaloo inherited a different trait from M.Bison. Ed can eject psycho power, Falke can infusion psycho power, Baba has intelligence & the fourth unnamed member can teleport. Also, confirming Bison will come back at some point.

[@slyzertvoltrond8461]

Could you please provide the link/source to your claims? Btw, his last name is Nakayama

[@ryanm.8720]

It's impressive that certain SFV Arcade endings are canon (minus the 'What If?' scenarios that alter the events of 'A Shadow Falls'), since most Arcade endings are non-canon, or semi-canon. Notably, 'Mortal Kombat X' tried to do something similar; where almost every Klassic Tower ending is implied to be canon (though the ending of Erron Black, Shinnok, and the guest fighters are obviously 'What If?' scenarios). Only for all but one (Ermac's ending, which is referenced in a non-canon intro exchange with Kitana and Shang Tsung) of them to be contradicted or ignored in 'Mortal Kombat 11'.

[@Neoxon619]

Matt's enthusiasm for Lucia is nice to see. I won't forget the amount of conversations I've had with friends about why Capcom haven't included Lucia in any game considering she was Chun Li's pupil with a unique moveset. Her, Akira, and Zeku are by far the characters that salvaged some fun from the game for me considering I'm not a big fan of SFV as whole.

[@foxygramps1207]

1:14:00 Something like Smash Ultimate's Classic Mode could be cool for Street Fighter. Have Arcades thematically tied to that character. Maybe Vega's run is all about fighting other "beautiful" characters, Bison fights the 800 characters that want revenge against him, etc.

[@zackfarrel8561]

Loving the podcasts so far! Just wish that you make future episodes a little more structured so it doesn't get a bit too rambly, and in this episode Justin didn't get an introduction. I also wish that Justin would speak out more. I know his background leans on the competitive side rather than Max's and Matt's history with fighting game content, so if you two could give him some openings to speak, that would be great!

[@VenomRivera666]

Round 3! Let's go!!! The intro is sick. I loved this whole conversation. I especially liked the portion discussing the collections that are/ could be coming. In fact I preordered the Capcom collection during the stream! Matt talking about the old darkstalkers cartoon brought back memories. I remember thinking as a kid, this is amazing! I love it. Watching it now I'm thinking, this is so bad. I love it! Looking forward to the next stream!!!

[@dastanovich2476]

I honestly really look forward to Luke's role in SF6. Even though SFV's final season wasn't planned initially, it was a great move on Capcom's to introduce Luke there. Before, they'd just plop these new randos with each game and state "See this Abel guy you've never heard of? Yeah he's the main protagonist now". Luke is different because we actually got a taste of him and of his (really) short backstory that hopefully they flesh out in SF6. Him being in SFV first will make the transition much smoother Plus this is legit the first time they *actually* have faith in the new MC SFIV reveal: a fight between 2 icons - Ryu and Ken SFV reveal: offscreen footage between 2 icons - Ryu and Chun-li SF6 reveal: Ryu - the MC of the old generation comes in clash with Luke - the MC of the new generation I'm like one of the 172 Luke fans on Earth lol, I genuinely love the guy and his SF6 design is REALLY memorable to me. I'm real tired of Ryu being the constant posterboy so maybe having Luke, Sean and Sakura become the new-gen protags would be a breath of fresh air

[@seitambem]

Idk why is this guy complaining abou him being blonde. It is a fighting game, what kind of analysis is that? What matters is that hes a cool concept, it really feels fresh and speaks to a lot of people. Love the mma vibe and yes, some spotlight on a new character!

[@dastanovich2476]

@@seitambem Capcom usually picks yellow hair cuz that's one of the most appealing colors a fighting game charqcter can have, and the color itself can say a lot about a fighter's personality. One look at SFV Luke and you can tell he's an over-confident kid that means well. Not a douchy Paul brother like many thought he'd be upon his reveal

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

The attempt to establish new MC’s is fine even if you’ll always have stubborn people who’ll never accept the new guys the way they’ve latch onto the OG’s but I just wish he looked better and wasn’t cursed with having such an ugly look as if he could’ve been in the game day 1 when we had to experience Banana hair Ken and all that inglorious load of what the hell. The teaser kinda helps but then went and made him look uncanny again like the Joker had become a Knicks/Mets fan with the blue/orange graffiti. AT least he’s not blonde so we have to deal with the running gag of Blonde fighters (at least for now).

[@seitambem]

@@vinnythewebsurfer hahaha the graffiti stuff is funny, they use that in KOF XV too. Maybe in Japan that's being an ultra rebel or something.

[@jerryaguilar8797]

I was a Luke hater back then, but damn that new design and his happiness of being there, I don't just like the new Luke, I love the new Luke.

[@Zostead]

Need an episode where y'all discuss Licensed Fighting games (BFTG, DBFZ, Granblue, DNF Duel etc) I'd love to hear what y'all have to say about the kinda not sudden but kinda sorta sudden emergence of competitive licensed fighting games

[@keetbuch8217]

THIS!

[@joshshrum2764]

A episode on fighterz, itself would be great as a avid player, especially since they have covered DNF Duel.

[@SAPProd]

Capcom already solved the issue of single player content for fighting games way back in 1998 courtesy of Rival Schools: an arcade mode with dynamic story for each school and multiple endings for each student depending on choice and win conditions, a school life sim that was sadly cut from Western releases because it was 1998 but would sell non-FG players on the game now, and several mini-games & modes that gave you more to do outside of fighting games. It would really be a shame if Capcom went all around the world looking for a solution to their FG dilemma when they had the answer all this time long before anyone else did (ArcSys used the story mode model in Guilty Gear XX & BlazBlue). Just this time don’t allow whatever contract problems that are preventing any rerelease of the Rival Schools games on modern platforms to happen again.

[@ShockyD]

Hey Mr Sack! Good seeing you on here, dude! Agreed, Rival Schools, back in the PS1 had a multi disc release with tons of content in addition to all you mentioned with Story. I would love Capcom to bring back things to push the single player content like World Tour mode.

[@reddragoner1932]

Tekken 5, 6, Mortal Kombat since Deception, Injustice series, Super Smash Bros Melee, Brawl, Ultimate, Evil Zone... You name it. The answer lies in the past and yet companies get greedy on go for the quick money grab. That's why I got stuck on ArcSys products since T7 was such a dissappointment right after TTT2.

[@orangecheez]

You guys should do an episode on games or series you wished would be turned into fighting games and that would fit well for the genre .

[@xemlyrics]

I want to say I love Justin as much as the next guy, but there’s no need to make a fuss about this episode. First of all, Justin is probably the biggest character here with the longest legacy, he’s the man and he needs no introduction. Besides that, I know he’ll own this podcast whenever talk leans more on the competitive side of fighting games. All three guys have their own element in fighting games and they own it whenever is their time.

After how blissfully unaware they all were of SF6 teaser even going to happen when the KOF episode was being made, this one’s gonna be fascinating to watch. But also god Damn it’s like their discussion on Rugal helped manifest yesterdays news break about Free Rugal/Boss mode

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

@@soliduswasright678 go to the time stamp 34:40 in the last episode (KoF) Max is getting into how difficult the Kof1994 was and it lead to the further discussion about the culture around SnK and it’s bosses/Rugal gets brought up from there. Even bringing up how dissatisfied they were with how much easier the 3D era KOF games have been.

I was playing Ring of Destruction (Slam Masters II) while watching this and I learned that Saber is actually Canadian. He's from "Calgaly."

I'd definitely like to see Saber pop up again. Heck, you can make him allies with Rolento since they're both soldier types.

[@YeldellGW]

Thank you Justin for remembering Slammasters! Would have preferred those games over HSF2 tbh.

[@triplek.o.2192]

Unfortunately it seems for Capcom to re-release it, they'd need to renegotiate a new contract with Tetsuo Hara, which always kills chances of games getting resurrected.

[@destinationskyline07]

I enjoy it when you guys talk about the business side of these games. Keep up the good work.

[@thelemonbread777]

I heavily agree with Matt's point about all the sfv characters, there's too many blonde people. I have a very limited knowledge about sfv so Capcom wants to appeal to me. Even after all these years, I know the names of Ed, Nash, etc but can't think of who those names belong to. I think the only blonde sfv character that sticks is G for obvious reasons.

[@ShockyD]

Agreed, I think what would also help is having the already existing blondes have different shades rather than just the mustard yellow. Have some platinum blondes, dirty blondes, strawberry blondes. Just tweaking that a bit would really make the cast pop at quick glance. I do hope that newer characters moving forward get more variety. We really lack redheads in this series hah, that would already add some nice variety!

[@CrystalMang0]

I disagree. You expected the returning characters characters like guile or Karin or Alex to get a hair color change? And also most of the characters are not even blonde. He was talking about American blonde males

[@cpt.hebikurashota7545]

Thank you Justin, Matt, and Maximilian for another solid episode. As you gentlemen pointed out Luke feels like yet another attempt to create an "American" hero to appeal specifically to audiences in the US. For my $ SFIV was very successful in translating SF to 3D models while providing that classic 2D gameplay. I am greatly looking forward to the Capcom Fighting Collection and appreciate this opportunity to get these great games especially Vampire Hunter which I haven't played since the arcade. I am praying for a reRelease of the CvS games and, now that KOF XV is popular, I am hoping for a new instalment in this series although it will be hard to follow CvS2 which I still feel is THE BEST VS game thus far. I look forward to every episode of this fantastic podcast. Thank you gentlemen again for taking the time to do this for the FGC, the community appreciates your hard work and diligence.

[@BlueFlareLegend]

Can't wait for this! Love to hear their thoughts about the future of Street Fighter

[@Atrahasis7]

I am not a big fighting game guy but I always loved playing them sometimes casually. I think something that would benefit SF6 well is making fighting games impressive tech demos again. Incredible detail on the characters animations, all the sweat on cammy legs, dont be afraid to go overboard, physics etc. I still remember people being impressed by virtua fighter 2 arcades, it pulls people in even more if the game is decent. Fighting have this capacity since the fighting zone is small so all the dentil can go on the action.

[@thatkleinguy]

So, a chinese-american, a blue skeleton and Nicolas Cage walk into a bar...

[@deshaunfortune912]

I think that animated films and shows such as Arcane and spider-verse is the direction Street Fighter could've gone with a cartoony artsyle and looked vastly different from its predecessors. I think you're underestimating the power of stylization.

[@KiDPANDA14]

My theory is that SF6 is going to be the modern day equivalent of SF3: NG. With Ryu/Ken/Chun returning and maybe a couple more

[@DTPr0ductions]

The talk about character representation brought up a unique idea for future fighting games moving forward: -Let's change which movelist represents each country in further iterations of said fighting game. For example, the grappler could be from USA, the charge character can be from Spain, the button masher could be from africa, etc. Then when the next iteration or game comes out, change up the movelists and change which character from which location does which style of button play. That way, it changes who is represented, how the game is played, and how to keep things fresh in each iteration of each fighting game. Sounds odd, but when they brought up how many blonde hair american bashers there are in the game, I thought about how each character can change up the button style and go from there.

[@johnjohnmayubay1178]

Love the series, but y’all gotta let Justin talk more.

[@onceuponagamemaster1588]

I know Max is scared that Capcom won't move past the III timeline because they've been stupid about doing that for over a decade...but I'm surprised he missed that parts of V's story has already moved beyond III and the director has confirmed that with a few endings. (Urien's is a good example with him calling Gill the Emperor. Gill only becoming that during the events of III) They literally have nowhere else to go. lmao I mean I feel like it's obvious because Luke and Ryu's age is very telling. It's definitely been a number of years since V. And we know that even back before the confirmation of V having moved past III, the III Saga was only like a year away from the events of 'A Shadow Falls.' Like...I get his fear but they've done so many prequels, Capcom literally got cornered out. There is ABSOLUTELY no where else to go, unless you want to work with very very VERY small window of time between the moments of V and or during III...and that feels so stupidly complicated, I think Capcom would fear doing that more than just moving forward. All in all...that was a CRAZY hot take. xD

I just want a good roll back Alpha 3 with all characters, without the infinites that kind of fubar'd it for competitive (at least in the west, Japan loves Alpha 3 competitive), and a basic ranked system that's just SF4 Arcade PP/BP again. Alpha 3 is what tore me away from only Chun and Dee Jay and turned me into a Mika/Chun main which sticks even today with SF5. Somewhat excited to see what she gets with the patch; I can't imagine it'll be a lot, but a guy can hope.

As far as them not wanting to go past the SF3 timeline. I think it's more them not wanting to go that far past SF2. They want to keep most of the core cast and keep them as close to their original designs as possible for nostalgic purposes. SF4 was pretty much just SF2 again as far as character designs go.

With each episode, more cool things appear in Justin's room.

I knew it when they said Capcom next heavy hitter 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheFireSword87]

43:07 Too be fair Matt. SNES Alpha 2 is currently on the WiiU virtual console, and that is still gonna be up for another year.

[@AshflowEX]

This is great perfect for when im working 😄👌

[@VanFlyheight02]

Power Stone game would be so awesome! Remake for sure!

[@kahlt_]

Worth noting when Max talks about all the games in the CFC being CPS-2 games, Red Earth was actually the first CPS-3 game, so it's not *quite* the same but it's still pretty similar I would assume

[@lordxrz6588]

The beat em up bundle was actually pretty fun

[@AntManR95]

I'm gonna boldly say this. Maximilian Dood is the Dave Meltzer of Fighting Games.

[@EithanMcGarrity]

Cammy’s butt in RE engine 😳

[@edpistemic]

I'm with you, Mr McMuscles!! I played a lot of the SNES version of Alpha 2 too! I had so much fun with it and it always hurts a tiny bit when people shit on it! xD

[@rocket_bsd_8101]

I've been thinking and I think active passives for fighting games characters would be Hella interesting. Let's say ryu who's known for his hadoken, gets a aura around him for every hadoken/shoryuken that cleanly lands. Essentially leveling him up either with new moves or buffs to existing moves and rewarding the player for playing ryus mid range playstyle correctly. For an rushdown character that's able to open his opponent up he gains more chip damage for doing so. Grappler gains a bit of armor for light attacks after an spd. I think if they implemented this idea it could actually teach casual players to be better by just going for those buffs or specials. Idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ArjBunnell]

It is interesting that Arcade 1up is releasing all the Capcom/Marvel games, but there's no collection for consoles.

[@CalciumChief]

24:23 Yeah, I was gonna mention it back when Max was talking about Luke apparently being new rival for Ryu in SF6. What is with Street Fighter and blond American dudes? Ken, Guile, Cody, Alex, Luke and even freaking Rufus (bet you all forgot about him). Even better, if this actually goes into the future, Mel might end up showing up. 26:43 They're scared because we all know how SF3 did at launch and you'd have to age up characters even more than in 5. Even if they actually definitively killed Bison this time, I just know he's still gonna be playable, same way Heihachi was supposed to be "dead" in Tekken 5 (and fully expect him to be playable in Tekken 8). 27:42 Yeah, that's the acual biggest development of SF lore - Ryu embracing footwear for the first time since Street Fighter 1. 1:00:44 Eww, no. You know why this is terrible? Because it would mean you'd have to give Zangief MORE clothes and that's just wrong. The most Zangief should ever wear is that cape he'd throw away back in 2D games. 1:09:24 Think he's in the background of one of the stages, but yeah, I want Sodom too. Then go way back and bring back Eagle and Retsu/Geki and Sawada as the new joke character. 1:10:24 No, we gotta have both is something. I don't care it'd be two grapplers, we need that crossover finally. At least make a Haggar skin for Gief, but he's got completely different voicelines and maybe some pipe moves.

[@twinkpeaks9993]

I really hope the uniqueness of the SFV season 5 fighters transfers to SF6, each character in that DLC wave felt like they had a ton of love and attention poured into them and so I hope every character in 6 has that
