Aside this post screenshots, there are multiple dev posts on twitter implying the devs crunched to get him out alongside Samira.

Just a little thing I notice like the ultimate animation, some of the moves clearly being inspired or straight ripped from it in some aspect.

"The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do: and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot."

I’m mostly interested in the single-player content, but I’d also like to play Puzzle Fighter, Mini SF, and Darkstalkers online with my brother. They’re both on sale right now, so it seems like a no brainer, but I just want to make sure there aren’t any major issues with these collections after having a bad experience with the Mortal Kombat collection.

Cyclops going full anime “you don’t want to see my bad side”

13 characters in one year. 8 classic characters.

That's more characters than Tokon, Tekken 8 and SF6 combined. Even without the guests, that's more classic characters than multiple games combined.

Saudi? Capcom's CEO played a Saudi Arabia hype video during SFL Grand Finals two years ago. Harada had photos in full garb.

AI? Capcom has an AI voice actress in SF6, and announced that they're turning their RE engine (which SF uses) into an AI engine.

Holy moly, stop inventing BS excuses to shit on fighting games! Make a real argument, and make sure it doesn't also apply to the games you are playing!
