According to SomeRandomDude™ at Twitter, SF6 was supposed to be released next year, but it was delayed due a tag team mechanic in the game that Ono focused too much time/resources into that, which is the reason why he was demoted. This is why there is a season v, to get some time to work on the next game.
I’m kind of surprised they’re having trouble doing a tag game given how recently SFxT and MvCI were. I guess this is going to be in the RE engine, and it’s giving them trouble?
If they got that far with a tag mechanic in the first place, SF6 could introduce some pretty radical changes to the series.
I think thing were rushed in terms of picking characters because of the pandemic that they need to pick already what was the talked of the town, that’s why we ended up with Dan for story reason.
If it was the poll it would had been “Guy” instead but not they instead go for what was the most commonly talked. In the past there are like 3 FGC influencer talking about Dan that includes Max.
The guys are doing a quick work on this that they just plug-in whatever they had with Dan than doing a presentation.
On reality it does’nt say that Dan is getting a Nostalgia alt (or Rose a professional one)
The schedule just say that during the “Dan update” (Winter2020) there will be new DLCs, including a Nostalgia alt (wich i suspect to be Ken SF2/3, the last big missing one) not related to Dan
Dan will have Standard +4 costumes (wich i guess mean Story+Battle+other 2)
Rose Standard+5
Oro Standard+3
Akira Standard+5
New Char Standard+3 ← probaly not waifu then
One of the alts may or not be the universal tracksuit that everybody have and that even characters appeared after (Gill, Seth) got
I think standard Dan is going to be the classic one we seen in the vid
The fact that he mentions Ono instantly proves he’s full of shit. If he’s gonna make something up at least name someone that is currently in charge of Street Fighter. Ono hasn’t held that role since SFxT. He threw his name in there to try and give BS info legitimacy.
Maybe he’ll drop a tweet about Silent Hill being delayed because Kojima didn’t like the games progress while he’s at it.
I think y’all are reading too much into the costume number. Most likely they haven’t even decided on the 5th character, and 3 is just the minimum quantity
Based on previous seasons, I think the character is Male. Every season has added two female characters. Rose and Akira would fill those slots. I would love to be wrong though.
