Street art, strength, and selling out: How Street Fighter 6 sacrificed its identity to chase brand synergy
An op-ed about how Street Fighter 6's use of brand collaborations and genAI content has compromised its street art-rooted aesthetic and identity
Street art, strength, and selling out: How Street Fighter 6 sacrificed its identity to chase brand synergy by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social
"The only wrong way to approach street art is to cross the metaphorical picket line β to create art not against those damaging citizensβ lives, but for them."

Just because something doesnβt affect you personally, doesnβt mean you shouldnβt care about it. We, as humans should desire to see others free from suffering
I absolutely agree with this! Itβs so sad that millions donβt.

My boomer FG opinion is that having ex moves tied to a fully stocked meter that does not carry over to the next round that incentivizes cashing out on crazy damage is very annoying game design

"I am a victim of my own damage, they think I'm too overpowered they can im too easy to play" it's probably going to take me weeks to actually get started on this assuming of course I don't end up hating it and deleting it

6/tag 2 were high damage fighters too, i honestly think my biggest issue right now with tekken 8 is how homogenized the characters gotten, seems everyone has access to strong pressure/wall carry/damage/ insane 50/50s, especially during heat

People online talking about Tekken:
"Modern Tekken sucks! The damage is too high and the combos are too crazy! Tekken 5DR was the last honest Tekken game!"

First test for the SC6 DnD AU design, Groh as a Oath of the Watcher paladin / Lunar sorcerer.
The magic Celeste used to pull him from madness changed him, giving him magic tied to the moon and its phases.
