Looks like a nightmare to fight. But sometimes these trailers make these DLC characters look way more oppressive than they turn out to be. (Ingridā¦)
•
u/greygreens 8h ago edited 3h ago
Yeah. Seems like no meterless reversal, and who knows if level 1 is invincible either (I have since been told that it is). That alone is a huge hit in guess fighter 6.
Also don't think we saw him anti airing anything. So if you can beat him by just bouncing around, then he's probably not going to be that good. But yeah always hard to tell from trailers. They make everyone look good, which is good on the trailer makers

u/68alleged_thinker70 dwagonwash bwoken 8h ago edited 5h ago
1- his lvl 1 is invincible, confirmed by the blog post HOWEVER how fast it is? never mentioned.
2- in the trailer he AA marisa jump hp with his 5hk (or some command normal, not sure).
•
u/MysteriousTax393 8h ago
Does he have a cr.mk + drc? If so, his strength depends on his meaties. Otherwise, he has to be pretty broken to be considered oppressive. Itās a fundamental problem of sf6.
•
u/68alleged_thinker70 dwagonwash bwoken 7h ago
he doesn't seem to have one, cuz they usually show it in the trailer but they didnt, plus brianF mentioned a good observation, he was able to combo from it with drive rush so most likely it's not cancellable.
•
u/iiEquinoxx 4h ago
Ye, cancellable crouch mks are - even on hit to make drive rush linking impossible. I think Blanka's is the only exception, who has a +5 on hit cr.mk
•
u/68alleged_thinker70 dwagonwash bwoken 4h ago
i checked all cancellable 2mk's, blanka is the outlier, but the on hit frames ranges from +1 to -2, so some other chars can link from a DR 2mk.

He definitely has a button with dedicated anti air properties (I just realized I canāt send pictures in this sub, itās shortly after the part of the trailer where he fights Marisa without his shirt), but Idk just how useful thatās gonna end up being. Looks a bit stubby imo.
•
u/Strength-Helpful 1h ago
Yeah. It often comes down to:
Do they have a big gap? Ingrid's zoning game is hard countered by a few. Yasmines fireball was cool till it was a down down, and now it's slow and predictable.
Is their damage low? Some characters have been buffed back to two touch ko territory, anyone that's not easily 3 on real lease, people hate. Also if they're very easy 3, non master rank hates.
•
u/TheGreatBigMad 8h ago edited 7h ago
I just expect every DLC character to be an asthmatic anemic (Yasmine, Ingrid, AKI) or a fucking nightmare with neutral skips and plus frames for day with no in-between (Sagat, Mai, Bison, etc). I need a bingo card for this shit. Overly privileged command jump, throw loop, best in slot move released until now, level 2 from hell, cancelable move (low) that hits from downtown, insane drive rush, etc. DLC characters feel like they're either coughing baby or hydrogen bomb no in between.
This one isn't beating those allegations. Won't know for sure until we get the frame data tho.
Interestingly, despite the trailer indicting to me that this is yet another DLC character that's going to cause the urge to one and done to overwhelm me, he doesn't actually look that good. Kind of looks like the release Alex vein of 'god do I hate playing vs this fucking character but like I win so whatever' instead of the Mai/Sagat/Ryu 'god please stop pairing me vs this character'. I'm sure he's gonna have plus frames for days and 'gotcha bitch' trap moves, but didn't seem to have the really really good stuff (low forward dr, god tier projectile/level 2). If he has disjoints whole different ball game tho.

Ingrid release video really make her seem good. I find her buttons are just a little too stubby and fireball too punishable by anyone that can get around it. She sticks out her foot too much.
Shes like an anti-zoner-zoner with her teleport, but if Blanka is standing within his slide range you really don't have a lot of tools to out neutral him.

u/BLACKOUT-MK2 4h ago
The way I view it is, every character has people who don't like them, and a reveal trailer is going to be one of the most impassioned places that those feelings come out, because it's literally their first impressions of the character. Which is fine, every character has fans and haters, people are allowed to be either.

Face and hair looks good.
Shirtless + torn pants combo is a little on the basic side, even with the extra frills (rings, sash, hand wrap). Not sure if tattoos or runes that glow when he inhales would have helped.
Skin texture in full screen looks odd, as people have already mentioned. It's weird because you can see the stretch marks and texture during his win pose.
Gameplay looks neat.
Edgier character than I expected. I'm guessing an Indian rep of his caliber is welcome after decades of Dhalsim.
Didn't wow me, but not totally bad.

He doesn't look right, he's weirdly rubbery, in both appearance and animation. He looks he is from a different game that has a much, much lower budget. He reminds of MKX characters in how weirdly they move and how kinda off they look.

u/Old_Complaint5645 5h ago
Thank you! I couldn't put it into words. He just seems less detailed than the last few characters we've seen. I figured that he'd be a big brawler type without the wierd air spit abilities, so that alone threw me off initially. The only detailed part about him to me was the muscle armor I saw in the showcase. Other than that, he's just so...smooth. Unnaturally so. Feels like he'd be an amazing and interesting boss in world tour or something. The moves look a little bland in my opinion.

Because Ryu was here long, long ago as the franchise was established. His simple look became iconic, but we're nearing 40 years of Street Fighter with countless new debuts that have had interesting designs.
Compared to the other new characters that 6 has introduced, he is extremely boring. Basic. Plain. So, yeah, a World Tour Avatar character. Still looks fun to play.

Who didn't even had the chance to be named. Or if she did, it was in a throwaway line.

u/Cheez-Wheel 5h ago
She still isnāt named. Completely ruins any chance of identifying with Rashid since you barely get any idea of who the friend was or to care about her, thus to care about Rashidās efforts to avenge her. SF isnāt exactly amazing on stories, but theyāve definitely done better before, that was just sloppy. Even SFII named Charlie so you at least had something to go off when Guile held up Bison.
Without WT, same mistake is happening to Yasmine and will happen to Arjun. Their stories are wrapped up in another character that matters to them, but does not matter to us because we hardly know them (Yasmineās older brother, Arjunās partner). We have no reason to get invested in their backstories when they involve characters that donāt matter to us.

u/Galactic_Geek 5h ago edited 5h ago
His backstory is a bit mundane, but his mechanics and design seem really cool overall and after seeing several Bollywood films, he fits that mold to a T.
It feels like he borrows a lot from other characters - over-the-top personality from Rashid, strength from Marisa, toughness from Zangief, culture from Dhalsim, on the lam like Cody, uses breathing that appears similar to Lily's or Rashid's wind attacks, slaps like E. Honda, kicks like M. Bison, is the polar opposite of Elena, shares anger with Ed, wants revenge like Cammy, seems OP like Ingrid, is new to the cast like Yasmine and Bosch, dances like Manon, Dee Jay, and numerous others, and has lost a loved one like Chun Li, Rashid, Guile, and numerous others.
I like that he's a slower, plus-frame, grey-health sapping, grappling, trapping menace. Seems like fun.
I also heard that his murdered partner may be an established lore character that was seen in a cutscene from Dhalsim's backstory in SF5. I really hope that is the case, because it gives him more of a legitimate tie-in to the others.
Overall, I think Capcom is cooking with Arjun, and I sincerely hope he becomes a mainstay. That said, just how long can 1 stay angry? Especially after he ultimately completes his quest or takes his last breath trying?
Finally, I want to solve the mystery of who actually killed his partner and where he should focus his revenge - my top guesses go towards Vega or AKI (with the latter being more likely) since they're essentially assassins.

Im fairly neutral to postive about him.
I wish they said his style was a real martial art like Vajra-Mushti or Loh-Mushti instead of the made up "Bare-Knuckle Yoga".
That being said they were unexpectedly creative with some of his air based moved and not as extremely goofy as I though he maybe.
His CA super looks like he discombobulates you so hard you start seeing triple and he makes sonic booms by tapping himself so hard the shockwaves mess up your brain.
I did expect him to be taller than Sagat like Jagdeep Singh Bajwa, Satnam Singh or Great Khali

His vibes / look seem just okay to me, but his gameplay looks really interesting in fun. Kind of an anti-Yasmine, where she had great looks / vibes, but her gameplay's very tepid.
It's too soon to tell though, it's only a trailer. It feels like they set out to make "Marisa, but better" and succeeded. My guess is that he'll be like what Marisa should've been, but do slightly less damage to compensate, but it'll be negligible compared to all the stuff he gets vs her.
I'm betting he gets a real command throw too, not a really slow, reactable and predictable one out of stance, a real ass fast useful one at least as good as Honda's.
Edit: Also, his outfit 1's pretty plain. I think his outfit 2 should've been his default one, and they should have gone back to the drawing board to make something else instead of his outfit 1.

Dealing gray damage plus drive gauge damage (which I'm sure will be huge chunks, like Alex) is too much. Layering that onto absurd setplay is ridiculous. It's like they just want to minimize defense and neutral as much as possible. He's going to be so anti-fun.
•
u/Fit-Age-3106 57m ago edited 52m ago
Agreed. You are right on how he will most likely.
Watching this gameplay and reading the blog posts shows a of his special moves are plus too. I imagine he is going to be able to jail other players with raw specials into normals as frametraps into more plus on block specials while dealing grey life and draining drive gauge. He has multiple projectiles, command grab, and he has a plus on block gap closer. Oh and he has a versatile invincible SA1 that acts as a versatile plus may be a projectile while having a crazy armor stance in a game where only supers break armor.
Pretty obvious that people are going to hate fighting Arjun before long.
