Why Street Fighter 6 Season 2 Has Everyone Losing Their Minds

[@illegalmemedealer3549]

For us, Bison returning to Street Fighter marked the beginning of one of the series’ most hype series of DLC to date. But for him? It was Tuesday.

[@TheJakeJackson]

The Zaid Tabani track that served as the SF6 intro at least year's Evo had that quote in it over an echo of Guile's theme. Instant shivers

[@jameshart2622]

Well said. Well said. Slow clap.

[@StretchDude]

Sadly, he's returning on a Wednesday.

[@Strider_Volnutt2048]

God bless you.

[@soulreapermagnum]

@@StretchDude well this is an "alternate version" of bison, so maybe wednesdays is this versions "normal day"

[@Priestess_Zenithar]

I really appreciate videos like this. They help me stay in the loop about types of games I usually don’t play. Many thanks!

[@TheJakeJackson]

I agree! I'm all in on a couple genres, so when something crazy happens just outside my radar I love having someone to give me a little look at it.

[@Cezkarma]

@@TheJakeJackson Just one thing to note, he said that M. Bison is less exciting than Elena. That absolutely isn't the case lol, the FGC despises Elena because of how broken she was in SF4.

[@dorksanddragons]

Terry and Mai showing up is like if the Avengers got help from Superman and Wonder Woman.

[@NaglfarCommando]

Fuck yeah it is.

[@JalauroUrsa]

I agree!

[@deandrenicholas2545]

Very apt analogy

[@well-off]

[@budgiecat9039]

Terry: "Hey c'mon c'mon. On your left"

[@shadowdemonx258]

Terry bogard is NOT the lead character of the king of fighters series as that is Kyo Kusanagi. Terry bogard is the lead character of fatal fury

[@TheJakeJackson]

*Fatal Fury

[@shadowdemonx258]

Whoops thanks

[@TheJakeJackson]

o7

[@chidaluokoro9104]

Well technically shun ei is the lead of kof but who care about him.

[@shadowdemonx258]

True, but Kyo is considered the overall protagonist of the king of fighters series

[@mindwarp42]

Re: Elena: two important bits not mentioned is that she's the first introduced-in-SF3 character to return in SF6, and that Akuma's sole friend is returning (yes, somehow she managed to befriend AKUMA).

[@MrFutago87]

Akuma probably tried punching her away, but she kept healing.

[@TerryB01]

With Terry and Mai in SF6 we can do the Terry/Ken Death Battle all we want AND get the Mai taunt to Chun-Li in SNK vs Capcom 2 in reverse too. Chun can wear Mai's outfit! :D

[@Hunt9-qb1if]

Yes, but that’s not gonna be the story and to be quite frankly honest Terry and you would be the ideal fight

[@JervisGermane]

I still remember Terry Bogard as "the Legendary Man in the Trucker Hat", as Mike called him in a livestream

[@IDyce88]

terry shouldn't even BE in this game...fu%$ sake

[@zackbonno3675]

It's worth noting that Capcom clarified that "Winter 2025" means somewhere along the lines of January or February so Mai will actually be coming out before Elena

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

Hmm. "Somehow, Bison returned..."

[@L16htW4rr10r]

Except at least in this series it's already established that M. Bison apparently have a lot of clones

[@andrewsutherland7913]

"It's Bisin time"

[@tilting_cat3344]

bison literally have so many clone that tons of em rebelled lol.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Bison is also a proven eunuch. Since SF4 Seth (one of his spare bodies) has no balls.

[@budgiecat9039]

​@@L16htW4rr10rSo he's Snoke

[@JacksonLane02]

Simple it's mainly due to 6 words ( 7 technically) Terry Bogard Mai Shiranui Street Fighter 6 It's pretty crazy that Terry and Mai are the first ever non Final Fight guest characters in Street Fighter ( yes Zeku was a strider but not exactly the Strider Hiryu that's well known) all this like 20 years after the last Capcom and SBK game and how both companies went through some similar situations like a decade ago

[@HeckYep]

Akira in SF5 was a Rival Schools guest character, but she was still a Capcom character at least.

[@DMystic101]

@@HeckYep There was always a tenuous link between Street Fighter and Rival Schools via Sakura.

[@TheRedMage01]

Because it's as close to Capcom VS SNK 3 as we're getting right now

They should just keep on adding in SNK characters until it becomes Capcom vs SNK 3. Seriously.

My mind! It's gone!

[@katfromthekong414]

I hope we'll get a lifestream with Mike playing this game! 🤞😬🤞 Always fun to watch someone do something they love!

[@soulreapermagnum]

i just hope by that point he's unlocked dhalsim's move set for the custom character they made. it'd be hilarious seeing that monstrosity use stretchy limb attacks.

[@GhengisJohn]

M. Bison seems to have become a big fan of Raoh from Fist of The North Star. Also really hyped to see Terry show up as a proper guest character in SF6. He's been one of my favorite SNK characters since a friend introduced me to thier games over 20 years ago and I'm always happy to continue to main him in as many games as will let me.

[@scottpilgrym2562]

Not losing their mind like yesterday with the MvC collection😁

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Not enough reason to lose anyone's mind except kids who lack attention in social media. Those games have been available for decades in various formats and systems.

[@SaintMarianne]

Mai being here proves that Street Fighter 6 is NOT for good boys and girls

[@andrewowens4421]

Poor Smash.

[@KaitouKaiju]

They could have gave us nakoruru or something instead of Mai​@@andrewowens4421

[@marhawkman303]

So... we SHOULD expect the cast of Rival Schools to show up then? :D Most of them are misfits who deserve to be expelled. :p

[@krvgames9258]

I wanted my girl Mai to be added! And wasn’t Super Smash Bros Brawl rated T for Teen? Sakurai really wants to forget Brawl ever happened.

[@TheRealCodeBlack]

I'm all the way here for Outside Xtra becoming a Fighting Game & DND channel. XD. Seriously though, I was hype out of my seat for this announcement. I was kind of expecting one guest character, given all the hints the devs were giving that a collab was coming, but two? Holy crap.

[@goodgamesdude]

Now you gotta do a video on why everyone is losing their minds over Marvel vs. Capcom 2 😂

[@deadpool3982]

I doubt that’ll happen on this channel… …there isn’t an Xbox version, just PS4 and Switch

[@Fenrisson]

Love when the channel gives that sort of attention to fighting games!

Capcom's got some bigger news than Street Fighter this week: MVC2 HAS BEEN FREED LET'S GOOOOO 😤😤😤

[@cincaicincai7847]

yeah but LOTRROTK is a great movie imo

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

MvsC2 had long been released in various formats. Even Dreamcast had a port. And we even enjoyed it on the arcades. Makes you instantly know who the posers are.

[@TheJakeJackson]

[@l0stndamned]

I'm wondering if there's going to be a Capcom character or two in City of the Wolves.

[@snakerooni]

Didn't need to wait for Terry and Mai to know the companies are working together... the stadium in Metro City is called Hagar Stadium and there's a huge Hagar statue at the park.

[@riksweeney]

Capcom Vs SNK 2 is 25 years old?! What have I been doing with my life? Oh, that's right, playing video games 😅

[@EVILEST14]

Mai is not the 4th character of the season, she's the 3rd. Capcom is a japanese company, and in Japan, they consider winter season when it ends, so winter 2025 is from December 2024 to February 2025.

[@renleo2836]

Fun fact: In recent years, SNK's top girl Mai has been appearing in over 100+ 'Collaborations' (most of them are P2W mobile games). Like Mike, I will leave it to you to guess why she's so popular (to collaborations).

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Only a eunuch won't know why she's popular.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Geese Howard died in the Fatal Fury timeline, hence "Nightmare Geese." But he didnt in main KOF timeline, where the heroes from the 70s (AoF Team) and 80s (Fatal Fury) actually fought alongsode the 90s cast.

[@FrankLeeYoung]

If you don't know the phrase "No Mai, no buy" then this ain't for you 😤 Capcom clearly took it to heart 😂

[@Khoobus]

4:02 KOF? My guy said he was a big fighting game fan but doesn't know the lead of KOF 😭

[@gwang3103]

Great to see these characters entering SF6 (especially MAI), but I'm still a bit sad that Dan and Sakura won't be back. (Yet?)

[@Darcnhife]

Nooo, nooo, no Dan, please. But, yes, Sakura. If we were talking about The Future of Street Fighter character, I felt like she earned it, and would have preferred her over Luke.

[@ARKumalarkey]

This is a public service announcement. Please give this game a go. There's a free demo. I had never played fighting games before and I was immediately hooked. Street Fighter 6 rules.

[@vyris2663]

Elena's healing was trash in SF3, and characters change in each game. I'd be more concerned about the stuff shown in Bison's trailer.

[@Strider_Volnutt2048]

I was honestly really, really hoping Bison would come back, if nothing else just to further the joke, but by golly, they actually did it. I am legit super hyped!

[@mbentley6]

the fatal fury anime films are still in my top ten to this day. I wish they'd capitalize on the hype and create a new anime series staring the cast of fatal fury

[@GramdalfFGC]

Mike being in the FGC is so based

[@chriswest6988]

I feel like the butt pfp accounts should have earned their own dedicated spot in the report post menu at this point. Sure you can call them spam or unwanted sexual content or whatever, but those all feel unspecific and slightly inaccurate. 90% of the time I hit report post lately, it's for very similar butt robots saying an innocuous platitude with two irrelevant emojis, and I think it would be fun if that was just a tag in the report interface for now.

[@deadpool3982]

I’ve heard bullying/harassment is a good choice, especially when they remember to put random punctuation at the end to avoid the spam bot

[@tevura3943]

I completely lost track of the Street Fighter lore when SF 5 failed to release cross platform, I was wondering why Bison was missing from the roster of SF6 at release.

[@crimsonsigma5531]

I love the kunoichi (female Ninjas) Kimberly is very cool and flashy but Mai will always be the original Kunoichi

[@Chris_Sizemore]

This is the first time Capcom has put a guest character from another developer into a mainline Street Fighter game. Other guest characters have all come from other Capcom games. This indicates that Capcom is interested in working with other companies. Teken has recently featured Akuma as a character. There is a strong possibility of a Teken crossover happening on the Capcom side. Also considering that Capcom just released a collection of X-man games that include all titles from X-men: Children of the Atom to Marvel vs Capcom 2 it certainly looks like Capcom is ready to start making more Capcom vs games. Capcom vs SNK 3 would be absolutely wild. So would a revival of the Marvel vs series. The current heads of the fighting games division of Capcom seem really competent and passionate about fighting games. Capcom could be headed for a full revival of their long neglected Fighting Games tradition.

[@mattyt1961]

The reliance on complicated combos means I don't bother with fighting games anymore...

[@lucas.allvin]

That is why I hate when terrible players become content creators. The combos are not complicated, it is all about getting used to the timings.

[@erockbrox8484]

I think the best business strategy right now for Capcom and SNK is just to allow them to have guest characters from each others games. Like Capcom can get 1 SNK character to put into their game, but in exchange SNK gets to put in 1 Capcom character into its game. And just keep doing this as DLC. Like seriously, just keep adding in characters and don't stop. Like Mario Kart 8, they are not changing the game, but rather just adding in new tracks.

[@marplatense31]

Quick correction: Terry Is not the lead of KOF. Frankly, he's more of a side character there. Having Terry appear in SF is so appropriate since the first Fatal Fury is, in a way, the real Street Fighter 2.

[@19Slim68]

As a big fan of Capcom and SNK fighting games, I'm really disappointed. SF 6 should have created more original characters or at least return some of the characters from previous games. Crimson Viper, Dudley, Gill, Yun and Yang are few of the characters I want to see.

[@evilded2]

Hmmm, you know I think I see a pattern with these characters.

[@tehstachegamingllamavision1596]

And since mike went all british gentleman about Mai she has good long range attacks including fans and fire, she has good close up attacks and is a grappler, her speed is unmatched aswell her special is more ranged then most and her ninja style is a good mix up in the rooster of fighters i know im ready for the last tier of SF6 and if she bothers you so much just hope no jiggles phyics lol

[@Sehkem]

I’m curious to see what former sf characters will come about meaning Dudley and others from Ultra Sf4. We won’t see those until 2026 if it happens.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Because Bison is a boring character that was copied from Yasunori Kato and Doomed Megalopolis. He's also weak, as hes been using at least 3 spare bodies already. If you look at Seth (whose a spare body for Bison) in SF4, he doesnt even have balls, just like Bison.
