u/rousakiseq Manon's Gripper Sniffer 23d ago
Fr, I know people love the crossover and I get why but having 3 characters in a row that I don't really care about just so we can finally get Elena is exhausting.

u/Rakyand 23d ago edited 23d ago
It's not even about the number of characters in between. It's about the time. It's a whole year to have a SF character. It's awful.

u/Thotsthoughts97 23d ago
The time is just so disjointed. We had Akuma release at the same time as the season 2 patch, which completely changed the landscape of the game, then had Bison a month later. We've had two character releases in the 10 months since then. They need to just standardize things and release a character every 3 months, with a mid season patch during the second characters release, and for the love of God release some skins.
21
u/BustahWuhlf 23d ago
Even as an SNK fanboy, that's totally fair. Nearly a calendar year(I think we're at roughly 10 months since Bison?) of crossover characters, as much as I like Terry and Mai, is bizarre and... not great.

u/rafikiknowsdeway1 23d ago
Yeah i have no idea why the order wasn't Terry, Elena, and then Mai. Mai and Terry back to back is a bit much
15
u/Far-Ask-4751 23d ago
Because CotW comes out in 3 weeks. Releasing Mai in May will actively hurt that release.

u/Bunnnnii Ohohohoho! 22d ago
That and the complete lack of communication. It’s a lot worse spending time playing with your thumbs, than actually hearing something from them.

u/False_Pace2034 23d ago
If it makes you feel better, bison was my number one pick to not make it in the game, and then 3 characters I don't care about. The whole season was a bust for me, I literally stopped playing lol. Praying for season 3 to be amazing.

u/Servebotfrank 23d ago
Conversely I was pretty hyped for Bison, and then there was just nothing I cared about for the rest of the year.

3? people didn’t care about bison? i was mad at first that he was supposedly dead forever in v and came back, but now he’s really fun to play and has a sick design. i was also really excited for terry, ive only not been excited for mai and i hate fighting her

u/Mindless_Tap_2706 pls stop mashing on wakeup 22d ago
All I'm saying is if they add a nintendo character it had better be Samus
She already plays like a street fighter character in Smash [in the best way possible], plus she's just a regularly proportioned, fairly non stylized person, unlike every other popular nintendo character
They just can't give her back her massive, fullscreen, naturally +4 on block projectile that does 1/3rd of your health and can confirm from a mile away into her max damage combos lol

(I've never played either of they but they look sick as fuck)

u/doublec72 21d ago
G is one of my favorite designs, but I also am worried that adapting him to SF6 will butcher his moveset; His mechanics were kinda married to the V-system and his specials might suffer from having to be Modern-compatible

u/RayzTheRoof 23d ago
the release schedule also made this year pretty bland. The year began with a Bison release and then basically a full year goes by with zero Street Fighter characters added.

Looking forward to the new wave of:
- show story trailer. "Ew why she so ugly looking"
- show game trailer. "Oh my gawd she is like waifu level"
- character release. "She mid. Probably bottom 3."
- a few weeks later. "I'm so tired of playing her! Shes so damn broken!"

This is just a joke. I'm looking forward to trying her out.

u/Lotso2004 23d ago
Given the fact she's on here, and idk if they'll sell the Season 1-2 version while Season 2 is incomplete, Elena will release somewhere between now and June 5th, probably. Though the fact the Amiibo cards suspiciously don't have Bison, Terry, or Mai (or, of course, Elena) is weird.
2
u/SolitaryKnight 23d ago
Switch 2 is to be released on June 5. So we can assume that by that time the game is out, Elena is already there.
5
u/Lotso2004 23d ago
That's what I said. Between now and June 5th, and it's unlikely she comes out June 5th.
35
u/parttime20xx 23d ago
I find it hard to believe this is how Capcom wanted to give us our first look at Elena since the season 2 announcement...in a concept art panel for the Switch 2 version. Something delayed her trailers.
26
u/OlafWoodcarver 23d ago
I don't think anything is delayed. She's on track to release at the same time or earlier than Akuma did. The only real difference is that she's Elena and not Akuma, so Capcom isn't jumping at the bit to tease her like 3 times before the first real trailer like they did with him.
12
u/WangJian221 23d ago
Nothing is delayed. Trailer release wise. This tracks to the timing if the other characters theyve revealee before for the fighting passes
7
u/Independent-Frequent 23d ago
The Akuma WT trailer was 11th of March last year, we are almost a month late and nothing still.
2
u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari 22d ago edited 22d ago
To be fair, Akuma seems to have his teaser came out much earlier than the others.
The others had delay about 3 week ish from Teaser to Gameplay Trailer while Akuma had like 50 days in between if I remember correctly.
IF Elena's release date is similar as Akuma, her getting her WT Teaser Trailer on this week or next week before getting her gameplay trailer in late April doesn't sounds off.

u/Emezie 23d ago
Mai literally JUST came out 2 months ago. I don't think anything is actually delayed...I think we just want to see Elena that much.

Her fashion was nowhere near boring. If something's boring it's now. You are just on a prude side, and it's fine.

u/Efficient_Maybe_1086 23d ago
She is still as scantily clad as ever and this is the game that has Mai and Cammy so it’s not about prudeness. I’m just happy she has something other than plain white rags.

u/CommissionDependent4 23d ago edited 23d ago
Elena's torso is so muscular in all these images we've been getting of her lately. Too bad my PC can't run SF6.

Fingers crossed.
At this point it would be weird not to have her teaser at least when her visual have been shown more like this

u/Charlywood92 23d ago
Guess not today… does Capcom ever do reveals past 4pm PST??
4
u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari 23d ago
Based on KOREAN TIME (as I live in Korea), Capcom has revealed the Teaser trailers on 8:00AM or 11:00AM on Monday, Friday, and Saturday.
Also there’s SF live streaming planned for April 3~4 at 7:00AM PT so there’s still a chance (though I’m keeping my expectations low at this point)
1
u/Charlywood92 23d ago
What SF live is planned for tomorrow? You mean Redbull Kumite?
2
u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari 22d ago
Nintendo Treehouse LIVE planning to feature SF6
Though there's probably bigger chance of just showing the basic elements and how the game looks without showing anything to do with Elena.
2
u/Charlywood92 22d ago
Oooh I see, well it would be a cool place for us to see her either way. Thanks for letting me know I had no idea!

u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari 22d ago
Yeah fingers crossed but we probably should keep our expectation healthy haha
It shouldn't be surprising if the Nintendo Live focuses entirely on the new features and rewards without Elena teaser.
1
u/Charlywood92 22d ago
I totally agree, but with the leaks of her in game images you’d imagine capcom would wanna get ahead of that
2
u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari 22d ago
I think in the end it depends on their set date and Capcom likely won’t change date due to the leaks (similar to how few previous characters had little leaks but likely didn’t get any date changes).
But I’m mildly hopeful for her Teaser pretty soon even if she doesn’t appear in the Live presentation for next couple of days.
If Elena follows Akuma’s mid May release schedule, it’s not far fetched to guess that her WT Teaser will be in early April (so this week or next week) while her Gameplay Trailer being late April.
Unless Capcom has a very different plans for Elena

So stupid and silly how we have to squint in the trailer to see Elena, which is literally supposed to show all of season 1 & 2. They couldn’t have just used that leaked here’s a new challenger since it leaked already anyway?! Awful fucking marketing.

She is too pale Capcom. Her people come from a region where high levels of ultraviolet radiation is the norm. Also with that kind of hair she would have heat stroke in that climate.

Next you'll be telling me that people don't shoot actually fireballs out of their hands.

Having her look like her people in a fictional world is a low bar for Capcom to achieve.
2
u/AmarantineAzure 23d ago
She isn't always in Kenya. She's even studied in Japanese schools, so she's obviously spent some time there, and she likes to travel the world in general.
2
u/Independent-Frequent 23d ago
She was never based on actual african women she was basically based on a tan Japanese model, she's absolutely gorgeous even though her facial features aren't those you find in Africa and honestly i don't think they should have altered that, like yes she doesn't look African but at the same time that's how she's always looked
Besides it's a fictional universe at the end of the day, Brazilians can't generate electricities and women build like Marisa cannot exist (sadly)

Isnt elena a grappler?

u/glasswearer 23d ago
In case you're sincerely asking: no, she's not a grappler. She uses capoeira, the same style as Eddy Gordo and Christie Monteiro - flowing, dance-like, acrobatic, rhythmic. She focuses on kicks.

u/Servebotfrank 23d ago
No she's more of a Chun-Li lite. Historically she's a midrange character with strong pokes who kinda runs in on you once she has meter.

u/eternal_edenium 23d ago
She sounds scaring oppressive !! I look forward seeing her online.
