Capcom did a lot of things right with Street Fighter 6, but clearly the best single thing they did is that when English-voice Honda lands ex command grab, he goes "Hungry?? Here's some BEEEEEF!" as his gigantic ass lands ass-first on top of you. Just really great work, hats off

It's funny that Smash folks misunderstood "shoto" to mean "characters from other FGs who don't turn around" and it's funny that FGC folks are mad about that considering that using "shoto" to mean "fireball/dragon punch characters" is itself a misunderstanding of shotokan karate

Cero's use of slurs is a problem ofc. But if banning her is meant to imply that her behavior is on par with LTG's near decade of bigotry & bullying and not as bad as things like abusing a spouse & trying to sue FGC people who discussed it, then imo that's a problem as well

Yes, video game rights holders have typically waited for "organic" aka third party labor to develop the community & industry infrastructure required for a game's viability for esports before swooping in & converting those external efforts into first party unearned windfall gains
