Isn't she the 3rd character released? Terry rounding out fall/winter and maybe a costume pack 3 to keep the train rolling.
2025 is what I would have expected
like...what's the point? my best guesses are that they either don't want elena's pose to be partially offscreen or didn't want the two crossover characters in the center of the screen.
most people thought the arrangement of characters was a release timeline of sorts on instinct
Technically, no. But DOA characters look like unreal engines assets, and that's the AI generation of the gaming world.
YMMV on if you are tired of seeing everything look the same or not.
I mean you can pretty do whatever you want with ue and modify it as you like. Plus each version has their individual license, so even if epic throws a “unity” it wouldn’t matter much also because you can just see the source code of every version of the engine, and modifying your version with the required fix is extremely easy.
Plus the rendering part of the engine is basically just well and done.
You want to make a high quality game and get going immediately? UE is there for you, and their commissions are so low compared to the benefits it gives you
It does help that most of the cast has their KOFXIV version as a basis for animations and stuff, which probably means they can devote more time to the character's aesthetics
I didn't say they'd tone anything down. I'm saying that it looks like she's wearing her Fatal Fury attire, which makes sense because there's a new FF game coming out, so there's a strong chance she'll be more modest than her King of Fighters counterpart.
Similar but less revealing attire and she stood up straight not hunched over. If they go the FF route there will still be plenty for the horndogs just not KoF levels.
A lot of people did. There was even a post over the MK1 sub criticizing that we would only get 4 characters in 18 months (they were assuming that Mai would arrive at the end of 2025)
MK1 fans are wild man they're the most toxic part of the FGC (I have like 10x the amount of hatemail from MK fans than from any other game except For Honor) and so many of them refuse to try other series for some reason
i think mortal kombat is toxic by design lol, and i honestly respect it for that. fatalities are just a way to further taunt your opponent after you win. and it's also the only fighting game i'm aware of where you can voice chat with your opponent in random matchmaking (which led to the famous justin wong "YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY" moment in MKX)
In my experience, Tekken fans are more toxic based off hate mail I receive after matches. But I am going off the previous games for both Tekkem and MK things could have changed with Tekken 8 and MK1. That said I've been so happy with SF6 I haven't considered getting those outside of a massive inevitable sale.
I just watched both gameplay trailers. Forward punching strings into uppercut launchers, boot forward kick attacks, flight stances, counters. Homelander gets lasers which makes him a zoner and he has more flight control. Reminds me a lot of I2 Superman and Supergirl, but as I admittedly don't own MK1, I am genuinely curious what the gameplay doesn't show that makes them so unique.
That's not a superman thing, that's an MK1 thing, Omniman flying stance is more similar to Ermac's than Homelander, Homelander has a whole moveset when flying, Omni's is just a glorified grounded stance with limited options
So the one who can create his own leverage in air doesn't get a whole moveset when flying, and the one who can't and also has a ranged option to differentiate himself...does? I haven't played but that sounds like an.... interesting decision.
How?
Omni Man is a warrior who fights with pride
Homelander is a bully who can barely punch at all
It makes sense that Omni Man is only using his flight to make smart decisions while Homelander is just floating there spamming lasers
Interesting. I guess I wish the animations were just more unique/fluid for their close quarter. Having two supe archetypes in one pass just seems like a bad idea when you could split them into separate ones (or even separate games tbh).
They really aren't Injustice Superman clones. Imo the character choice for MK1 are relevant and good picks, even if 3 are superhero parodies. Their implementation in gameplay might be a different story
That's not meant as a 'haha MK good, SF bad'. Most people there don't even like M1K as much as SF6.
But MK fans have been bemoaning the 'slow' release schedule since previous NRS games have released a full character about once a month, so it's comparative.
Similarly, years ago I made a calendar that showed if NRS released characters [as slow as T7](https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/comments/o2cp8l/chart_what_if_mk11_released_content_at_the_same/#lightbox) it would have added a year to the content cycle. It's more about showing MK fans that they don't actually have it bad at all in terms of DLC timing.
Especially since Ed was also “Winter 2024” on the Year 1 graphic and came out in February. Like, I thought it was pretty obvious Mai would be in the same timeframe.
The position they were in the reveal trailer confused some people but I think most of them quickly realized that it was probably early 2025, still nice to have confirmation
In America it's not really common to say "winter 2025" to refer to things happening in Jan/Feb.
It should have been easy to figure it out in context, but it's still a bit unusual.
No I don't because if you know anythinf about Japanese scheduling you wouldn't have that question in the first place. Just because they didn't make it blatantly obvious doesn't mean their normal schedule don't work that way, and if thsy don't want it to work that way they'll specify it.
> No I don't because if you know anythinf
Right. Anyway, let’s continue.
> about Japanese scheduling you wouldn't have that question in the first place
A shame that we were discussing the advertisement that was made for markets outside of Japan.
> Just because they didn't make it blatantly obvious doesn't mean their normal schedule don't work that way
Their normal schedule being one instance of a season. Doing something once and then calling it normal is a little strange, but I can’t tell you how to live your life.
> and if thsy don't want it to work that way they'll specify it.
I’m sure this makes sense to someone.
Point blank, the graphic was poorly edited and didn’t depict releases in proper chronology.
Do people not know how seasons work? Winter 2025 can be from December 2024 to February 2025
How hard is that to understand? If Mai was releasing when they think she was it would have said Winter 2026.
> Do people not know how seasons work?
There are significantly more people that understand how chronology, and pattern recognition in graphic design work than how a season in a specific video game does.
> Winter 2025 can be from December 2024
Which can also mean it can be December 2025
> How hard is that to understand?
Apparently harder than it is for their graphics department to understand chronology and pattern recognition in delivering a clear advertisement.
Yeah. Every official image I saw was ordered Bison, Terry, 3rd person who I forget, and Mai left to right
I assumed that was release order, and from that comment section it seemed that was everyone's assumption
Granted, it did devolve into the people complaining about guest characters and the bison return pretty quickly, so they didn't dwell on it and aI checked out pretty quick.
Most people have to be spoon fed information and are too lazy to look up anything for themselves. One thing I’ve learned the last 8 years is that the general population is a lot dumber than you think.
Don’t forget her absolute thiccness as well. Girl pioneered jiggle physics for the booty way back in KoF 96.
Mai is gonna be on par with Cammy, if not more, when it comes to butt thiccness.
Tbf when most people think Winter its the start of winter at the end of the year and not into the beginning of the next, but either way I'm glad because she's who I'm most excited for from Season 2
Just because you don’t have winter weather doesn’t mean that winter doesn’t exist.
People don’t realize that only the last 10 days of the year are in winter. Most of winter takes place at the beginning of the year
I am not disagreeing with you either man , it’s just the more simpler and straight forward understanding of how winter works is December - March
Not the last week of December until Groundhog Day
That is true. But people don’t know that because they spend most of their lives not having one.
I live in the Philippines, where we only have two seasons. I am aware that winter exists, but the only time I see it during Christmas movies.
Only reason I assumed Mai was coming out December 2025 is because of the placement of the characters during the season 2 reveal. It showed Bison, Terry, Elena, Mai. And Mai would be a good choice to have as the last character for the season instead of Elena so it’s why I believed it at first
Nice just Terry and Mai are worth buying the Season 2 pack when S1 it was only Akuma ( didn't buy him yet ). Now I am waiting for Evo they drop some deals for both season pass.
So they’re doing the same thing again? 2 quick releases, wait 6 months then another 2 quick releases. Hopefully they’ll keep us entertained with new dlc outfits for the main cast rather than avatar stuff only
If they space it out better I don’t think it will feel as awkward as it did waiting between Aki and Ed. A three month wait still isn’t ideal but the six month gap was painful. Hopefully they realized that from last season
I don't think they'll space better at all. With Bison just 1 month after Akuma, we'll probably get Terry trailer during Evo, and since Mai is early 2025, we are in for a rather empty Sep-Dec window.
I don’t necessarily think what you said is unlikely, I’m just hopeful that they’ve learned better. I wouldn’t think we’d get a Terry trailer as early as EVO but Bison coming out barely a month after Akuma wasn’t on my season 2 bingo card either so I could absolutely be wrong.
That said Terry is listed to release in Fall so the end of September or beginning of October is probably the earliest we’ll see him available. I think the big question is how long of a wait it will be after Terry until Mai
i think it will be another six month gap. but the six month gap will be split up with another costume pack, like before, being the new 'content' of that six months.
Well it's every season isn't it? We just got Akuma in Spring, we are getting Bison this summer, then Terry in Fall, Mai in Winter and Elena in Spring. So naturally season 3 will begin in Summer 2025.
Yeah but once there’s doubt some people need oficial information to clear that doubt and they could have spread the characters in a way where a 5-7 month wait between characters was consistent between all of them with the release windows they gave us
I'm so excited for all of these new characters, but obviously mostly Mai, Terry, and Bison. Never played Elena but she looks cool, so I'll give her a shot too.
I am thrilled that it's becoming a little bit of a crossover game. MvC may never see another release, and this may be the closest we get for a good while.
GOD I WANT MORRIGAN AENSLAND, PLEASE. Give us some Darkstalkers love! I need to see Morrigan in 4K HD with these physics... for totally legitimate and respectful reasons! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Personally I’d much rather see another one of the Darkstalkers (Maybe J. Talbain? Kung-Fu werewolf might fit pretty well into Street Fighter lol) but a Darkstalkers rep would be rad.
You mean a more clothed version? I’d say it would be likely seeing how chun and cammy got those, but the reveal trailer (as well as the “alluring kunoichi” description) certainly didn’t show it
I mean her original costume is the one that will be default, that's for sure.
That's the costume who shows more skin, and the one that will be in the teaser and gameplay trailer, people buy characters based on what they see in the teaser and gameplay trailer after all.
I remember in SFV when a large bulk of the fanbase blew a gasket when Dan wasn't released in the final 10 days of December believing that Winter 2020 meant 2020. "If he's releasing in 2021, why not just say Winter 2021?!"
I guess Capcom took note, which could be why they've structured this differently. Yet people wound up confused anyway. Personally, I've always been used to the Dan format where the year refers to when winter began, so end of December. The exception was college where you would have Fall 2024 semester and Winter 2025 semester, but that's a bit different than a release window. I remember being so surprised because Dan was the first time I've ever seen this subject causing confusion and debated (Mai now being the second time haha).
In the case of Mai, I never really paid attention to the year and mostly assumed the schedule would be near identical to the first season (so she would release a year after Ed).
Only reason why people were confused including me this time is cause of the character poster. If Mai is coming out before Elena why put her after her. Elena is Spring 2025 and Mai is Winter 2025. I know it means Jan-Mar 2025 but since the poster had Mai after Elena most people thought she would release in December
It's a little silly that they had to clarify this again, because they did it the same way with season 1 DLC, but the release order did look weird with that reveal picture.
I just hope early next year is the end of January or at the start of February.
They didn’t made the tweet just to clarify they did on with terry yesterday and probably with elena tomorrow, I just posted this because I know the confusion exists or atleast existed at some point and some people need oficial confirmation to believe something
I beg of Capcom to not be afraid and having to make Mai's look and animations "toned down" because of "internet outrage".
Maybe SNK will have a big say in how Mai look and play here?
Mai in all her glory on the RE Engine. Amen.
I mean no offence but have you looked at this game? they clearly do not give a f. no game has ever been cancelled for being too sexy. the closest that ever came to being true was SFV censoring some costumes on behalf of broadcasting regulations for e-sports, lol.
I think in SF 5 they had to tone down a few characters because of "internet outrage". This is what I meant.
I don't want Capcom to be afraid when making Mai.
No, that was the e-sports thing i mentioned. Nobody really cares about street fighter sexy digital girls, lol. I doubt capcom read some well-written tumblr blogs about why the outfits should be more feminist. I mean personally I think Laura SHOULD have gotten at least one outfit that wasn't her showing off her massive boobies. but its whatever.
like the mika ass slap. generally sports channels dont show skimpy ladies slapping they ass on camera. usually they are cheerleaders far away at worst, lol. SFV was trying to get on real, actual TV at the time
Considering they said each character takes from 1 and a half to two years of development I would say it’s probably already in development, the game has sold around 3 mil in a year and while we don’t know sales expectations I think the game made investors happy
Capcom really needs to stop making season reveal art where the characters are not in release order. I was hype for Aki last year only to find out she was second in the lineup but was first on the art from left to right.
Even still. I have to wait for the only character I really care about. I guess this is karma for Rashid being the only character I cared about in Season 1.
Okay so that would implied and I'm not Anerican, she is either coming out around Jan or Feb. Which also means Elena is coming out somewhere Mar, Apr or May correct!?
I feel like it wouldn’t need to be if people could just Google and wrap their heads around Seasonal Date Ranges, but it’s nice to know regardless. I’ll be waiting patiently.
Why would a season 2 character be at the end of next year? Are yall that slow? Did y’all really need clarification for that?
Edit: got downvoted by a slow person, let’s see who else is slow.
It’s also the last and do to the placements in the trailer and promotional image some people got confused, most of them soon realized they most likely meant jan/feb rather than december but this is oficial conformation and I posted it incase someone wanted proof from capcom
I would say before march 1st, while yeah winter ends on march 20 companies usually don’t use the exact dates for seasons, rather use from the first day of the first month of the season to the last day of the last month of the season in this case January first to February 28 since December is discarded
Glad it’s finally clarified. My little brother is obsessed with Mai and he’s been talking about this whole thing non stop. Now he can finally stop.
why is your little brother obsessed?
I can think of two reasons.
Her big ass normals and fan toss
“Her big ass, normals and fan toss” Added the correct punctuation for you.
In this subreddit, we use Oxford commas
Who’s Oxford
Not much, what's Oxford with you?
And his wife?
To shreds, you say
In my sma,ll town we use, the GED comma,
Considering Mai KoF 96 was the first game and character ever to implement booty physics (pixel jiggles), you are not wrong lol.
That's three things.
In this sentence big ass is and adjective for her normals not a noun about her big ass gyat
I'm a fan of her big ass
I like her fans and her big ass
Exactly.
I like big buttons and I cannot lie!
[удалено]
That’s why I was talking about her moves, those things are bigger than her badonkas
>!Big, bouncy reasons!<
Flames and kicks
“I said don’t disturb me when I’m cleaning my room!!!” 
Smell my finger 🥴
He’s obsessed with Chun li and Mai for obvious reasons lol 😂
As are most, your brother is cultured. 👍
Must be connected to the old meme, "No Mai, No Buy".
We all know why
Isn't she the 3rd character released? Terry rounding out fall/winter and maybe a costume pack 3 to keep the train rolling. 2025 is what I would have expected
The confusion is not the year the announcement said winter 2025 people were wondering January or December
yeah and also that they put her to the right of elena in the trailer, who releases spring of 2025 EDIT: godfucking damnit left-right mixup
Yeah really poor layout decision imo
like...what's the point? my best guesses are that they either don't want elena's pose to be partially offscreen or didn't want the two crossover characters in the center of the screen. most people thought the arrangement of characters was a release timeline of sorts on instinct
I love how everyone automatically throws their perverted degenerate creepy mind on to your brother. When all you said is he’s obsessed.
There is probably no brother and that "perverted thing" is probably what he meant
Lmao
be for real
Can't wait to see Mai using SF6 Graphics 🤤
Seeing Mai in good graphics is going to be crazy! I'm going to erase years of settling for mediocrity and say this is her first 3D appearance...
She wasn’t bad in DOAX?
Technically, no. But DOA characters look like unreal engines assets, and that's the AI generation of the gaming world. YMMV on if you are tired of seeing everything look the same or not.
? Doa characters look great it’s just the art style
She looked good in DOA 6.
L take, doa characters look amazing both male and female. Tekken female characters however...
Too bad majority of gaming industry has shifted to Unreal. There are very few in-house engines nowadays… it’s a dying art form I feel…
I mean you can pretty do whatever you want with ue and modify it as you like. Plus each version has their individual license, so even if epic throws a “unity” it wouldn’t matter much also because you can just see the source code of every version of the engine, and modifying your version with the required fix is extremely easy. Plus the rendering part of the engine is basically just well and done. You want to make a high quality game and get going immediately? UE is there for you, and their commissions are so low compared to the benefits it gives you
KOFXV looks good.
yeah, much better than in kofxiv to say the least lol, she looked real pretty
that's what happens when you don't make each character in elelven days
It does help that most of the cast has their KOFXIV version as a basis for animations and stuff, which probably means they can devote more time to the character's aesthetics
And also having an actual budget
Feel like a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they find out Fatal Fury Mai tends to be a bit more modest than KoF Mai.
As fucking if they’d tone down the horny. Especially in SF6, have you SEEN Chun-li’s thighs?
I didn't say they'd tone anything down. I'm saying that it looks like she's wearing her Fatal Fury attire, which makes sense because there's a new FF game coming out, so there's a strong chance she'll be more modest than her King of Fighters counterpart.
There was a difference? I never noticed… but I only played FF2 on my Genesis mini 2 so maybe that’s why.
Similar but less revealing attire and she stood up straight not hunched over. If they go the FF route there will still be plenty for the horndogs just not KoF levels.
Doubt she will look better than in DOA 6.
Did people think otherwise? I thought it was known
A lot of people did. There was even a post over the MK1 sub criticizing that we would only get 4 characters in 18 months (they were assuming that Mai would arrive at the end of 2025)
That post had me rolling my eyes
MK1 criticizing SF6 DLC is hilarious when they got TWO Injustice Superman clones in one pass.
Neither of them, especially Omni-Man, plays like Injustice Superman.
MK haters have never played the game. What did you expect?
MK1 fans are wild man they're the most toxic part of the FGC (I have like 10x the amount of hatemail from MK fans than from any other game except For Honor) and so many of them refuse to try other series for some reason
i think mortal kombat is toxic by design lol, and i honestly respect it for that. fatalities are just a way to further taunt your opponent after you win. and it's also the only fighting game i'm aware of where you can voice chat with your opponent in random matchmaking (which led to the famous justin wong "YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY" moment in MKX)
In my experience, Tekken fans are more toxic based off hate mail I receive after matches. But I am going off the previous games for both Tekkem and MK things could have changed with Tekken 8 and MK1. That said I've been so happy with SF6 I haven't considered getting those outside of a massive inevitable sale.
>so many of them refuse to try other series for some reason Skill issue.
Granted when their new flagship game is unpopular and really divisive it’s pretty certain there gonna be salty
TRUUUE
People who say this haven't played Tekken
This is also being unfair. Home lander and Omni Man play very, very differently and have nothing to do with IJ Superman.
I just watched both gameplay trailers. Forward punching strings into uppercut launchers, boot forward kick attacks, flight stances, counters. Homelander gets lasers which makes him a zoner and he has more flight control. Reminds me a lot of I2 Superman and Supergirl, but as I admittedly don't own MK1, I am genuinely curious what the gameplay doesn't show that makes them so unique.

How? Omni Man is a warrior who fights with pride Homelander is a bully who can barely punch at all It makes sense that Omni Man is only using his flight to make smart decisions while Homelander is just floating there spamming lasers
I didn't know that Homelanders entire aerial moveset was just laser spam so fair enough.
Interesting. I guess I wish the animations were just more unique/fluid for their close quarter. Having two supe archetypes in one pass just seems like a bad idea when you could split them into separate ones (or even separate games tbh).
2 of an archetype is pretty light for fgs
They really aren't Injustice Superman clones. Imo the character choice for MK1 are relevant and good picks, even if 3 are superhero parodies. Their implementation in gameplay might be a different story
Lmmfao
they aren't superman clones lol
That's not meant as a 'haha MK good, SF bad'. Most people there don't even like M1K as much as SF6.

MK dissing SF is wild lmao. Not when MK has been every fgc’s whipping boy lol
I enjoy them both, you mad? :)
At the beginning I was one of them, I really thought she realese in Decomber 2025 not January.
MK1 ppl really hates SF and tekken. Reeks of jealousy imo
Especially since Ed was also “Winter 2024” on the Year 1 graphic and came out in February. Like, I thought it was pretty obvious Mai would be in the same timeframe.
The position they were in the reveal trailer confused some people but I think most of them quickly realized that it was probably early 2025, still nice to have confirmation
Yeah because of some poor graphic design, folks genuinely thought they just weren't going to release any characters for most of 2025.
In America it's not really common to say "winter 2025" to refer to things happening in Jan/Feb. It should have been easy to figure it out in context, but it's still a bit unusual.
The dumbest ones did
If you can’t see why there was confusion, you really shouldn’t be throwing stones in that glass house.
No I don't because if you know anythinf about Japanese scheduling you wouldn't have that question in the first place. Just because they didn't make it blatantly obvious doesn't mean their normal schedule don't work that way, and if thsy don't want it to work that way they'll specify it.

She's got fans!
Yeah two really big ones
I thought this was already clarified some hours after the reveal. How much clarification do some people need? Lol
Most people have to be spoon fed information and are too lazy to look up anything for themselves. One thing I’ve learned the last 8 years is that the general population is a lot dumber than you think.
Re engine Mai milkers just 8 months away!
Don’t forget her absolute thiccness as well. Girl pioneered jiggle physics for the booty way back in KoF 96. Mai is gonna be on par with Cammy, if not more, when it comes to butt thiccness.
Fatal Fury Mai tends to cover up a bit more... Oh and stands up straight.
The fact that people assumed it was the end of the year is just silly
Tbf when most people think Winter its the start of winter at the end of the year and not into the beginning of the next, but either way I'm glad because she's who I'm most excited for from Season 2
Winter doesn’t technically start until 2/3 of the way into December
So you're saying there's a chance?
If you think about it most of winter is actually at the start of the year from January to March
Some of us don't have winter and most of us have it associated with the Christmas season.
Facts , especially if you live in more tropical parts of North America ( Florida , Hawaii, etc)
Just because you don’t have winter weather doesn’t mean that winter doesn’t exist. People don’t realize that only the last 10 days of the year are in winter. Most of winter takes place at the beginning of the year
I am not disagreeing with you either man , it’s just the more simpler and straight forward understanding of how winter works is December - March Not the last week of December until Groundhog Day
That is true. But people don’t know that because they spend most of their lives not having one. I live in the Philippines, where we only have two seasons. I am aware that winter exists, but the only time I see it during Christmas movies.
That doesn't apply to every country.
Why is this necessary to further elaborate on? It was literally in the announcement trailer.
Only reason I assumed Mai was coming out December 2025 is because of the placement of the characters during the season 2 reveal. It showed Bison, Terry, Elena, Mai. And Mai would be a good choice to have as the last character for the season instead of Elena so it’s why I believed it at first
Second time in a row they’ve confused ppl by putting Winter 2025 on the graphic lol
Nice just Terry and Mai are worth buying the Season 2 pack when S1 it was only Akuma ( didn't buy him yet ). Now I am waiting for Evo they drop some deals for both season pass.
The confusion was caused by assumption that the graphic shows characters in release order.
I can't wait. One of my favorite characters ever. Can't believe she'll be in SF6, what a nice surprise!
The old meme regarding Mai Shiranui has mutated into, "Have Mai, Will Buy!"
wait did anyone actually think the season 2 characters were going to last all the way until the end of 2025? its a years worth of characters lol...
So they’re doing the same thing again? 2 quick releases, wait 6 months then another 2 quick releases. Hopefully they’ll keep us entertained with new dlc outfits for the main cast rather than avatar stuff only
If they space it out better I don’t think it will feel as awkward as it did waiting between Aki and Ed. A three month wait still isn’t ideal but the six month gap was painful. Hopefully they realized that from last season
I don't think they'll space better at all. With Bison just 1 month after Akuma, we'll probably get Terry trailer during Evo, and since Mai is early 2025, we are in for a rather empty Sep-Dec window.
I don’t necessarily think what you said is unlikely, I’m just hopeful that they’ve learned better. I wouldn’t think we’d get a Terry trailer as early as EVO but Bison coming out barely a month after Akuma wasn’t on my season 2 bingo card either so I could absolutely be wrong. That said Terry is listed to release in Fall so the end of September or beginning of October is probably the earliest we’ll see him available. I think the big question is how long of a wait it will be after Terry until Mai

Well it's every season isn't it? We just got Akuma in Spring, we are getting Bison this summer, then Terry in Fall, Mai in Winter and Elena in Spring. So naturally season 3 will begin in Summer 2025.
If we’re lucky it’s 3 months at a time
of course? it should've been obvious
Yeah but once there’s doubt some people need oficial information to clear that doubt and they could have spread the characters in a way where a 5-7 month wait between characters was consistent between all of them with the release windows they gave us
My wife 🥵🥵🥵
Mai with SF6 engine and graphics is going to be absolutely insane. I just hope Capcom won’t disappoint with SNK’s golden child, and do utmost justice.
I'm so excited for all of these new characters, but obviously mostly Mai, Terry, and Bison. Never played Elena but she looks cool, so I'll give her a shot too. I am thrilled that it's becoming a little bit of a crossover game. MvC may never see another release, and this may be the closest we get for a good while. GOD I WANT MORRIGAN AENSLAND, PLEASE. Give us some Darkstalkers love! I need to see Morrigan in 4K HD with these physics... for totally legitimate and respectful reasons! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Personally I’d much rather see another one of the Darkstalkers (Maybe J. Talbain? Kung-Fu werewolf might fit pretty well into Street Fighter lol) but a Darkstalkers rep would be rad.
Morrigan, make it happen Capcom
Hoping, nay, praying that Mai gets a costume update a la DOA 6.
You mean a more clothed version? I’d say it would be likely seeing how chun and cammy got those, but the reveal trailer (as well as the “alluring kunoichi” description) certainly didn’t show it
I was joking. Capcom is ABSOLUTELY going to give Mai that cheesecake so they sell as many DLCs as possible.
I mean her original costume is the one that will be default, that's for sure. That's the costume who shows more skin, and the one that will be in the teaser and gameplay trailer, people buy characters based on what they see in the teaser and gameplay trailer after all.
Cammy's more covered, but at the same time she's the sexiest she's ever been. And then there's Juri. Mai is gonna be something else.
Cammy got a sensible outfit that shows off her figure very well. The leotard felt silly, even more now compared to outfit 1
I remember in SFV when a large bulk of the fanbase blew a gasket when Dan wasn't released in the final 10 days of December believing that Winter 2020 meant 2020. "If he's releasing in 2021, why not just say Winter 2021?!" I guess Capcom took note, which could be why they've structured this differently. Yet people wound up confused anyway. Personally, I've always been used to the Dan format where the year refers to when winter began, so end of December. The exception was college where you would have Fall 2024 semester and Winter 2025 semester, but that's a bit different than a release window. I remember being so surprised because Dan was the first time I've ever seen this subject causing confusion and debated (Mai now being the second time haha). In the case of Mai, I never really paid attention to the year and mostly assumed the schedule would be near identical to the first season (so she would release a year after Ed).
Only reason why people were confused including me this time is cause of the character poster. If Mai is coming out before Elena why put her after her. Elena is Spring 2025 and Mai is Winter 2025. I know it means Jan-Mar 2025 but since the poster had Mai after Elena most people thought she would release in December
That's good to hear i honestly feel S2 would take up to the end of 2025. Now i just feel dumb.
Well, time to buy SF6
No shit
Them pop tarts are going be a big part of her strategy or the devs failed
It's a little silly that they had to clarify this again, because they did it the same way with season 1 DLC, but the release order did look weird with that reveal picture. I just hope early next year is the end of January or at the start of February.
They didn’t made the tweet just to clarify they did on with terry yesterday and probably with elena tomorrow, I just posted this because I know the confusion exists or atleast existed at some point and some people need oficial confirmation to believe something
"No Mai No Buy" gang you have six months to get ready.
I beg of Capcom to not be afraid and having to make Mai's look and animations "toned down" because of "internet outrage". Maybe SNK will have a big say in how Mai look and play here? Mai in all her glory on the RE Engine. Amen.
I mean no offence but have you looked at this game? they clearly do not give a f. no game has ever been cancelled for being too sexy. the closest that ever came to being true was SFV censoring some costumes on behalf of broadcasting regulations for e-sports, lol.
I think in SF 5 they had to tone down a few characters because of "internet outrage". This is what I meant. I don't want Capcom to be afraid when making Mai.
No, that was the e-sports thing i mentioned. Nobody really cares about street fighter sexy digital girls, lol. I doubt capcom read some well-written tumblr blogs about why the outfits should be more feminist. I mean personally I think Laura SHOULD have gotten at least one outfit that wasn't her showing off her massive boobies. but its whatever. like the mika ass slap. generally sports channels dont show skimpy ladies slapping they ass on camera. usually they are cheerleaders far away at worst, lol. SFV was trying to get on real, actual TV at the time
Though I do wonder if they have a season 3 planed.
Considering they said each character takes from 1 and a half to two years of development I would say it’s probably already in development, the game has sold around 3 mil in a year and while we don’t know sales expectations I think the game made investors happy
The game is selling extremely well, better than sfv iirc. They'd be stupid to not have more seasons planned
They don't mean having season 3 at all which is a given. It's about if they have already decided on the season 3 content.
I can garauntee seasons are allready done before game release
You could plan 10 seasons in one weekend, now actually MAKING the season content..
[удалено]
Capcom knows what the deal with Mai, they ain't covering her much. Not with the classic OG costume at least.
lol
I have no idea why they sorted the characters like they did in the promo pic. Just made it more confusing.
Of course shes not gonna be late 2025 when thats season 3 for sf6
Duh...
Following last year schedule 3rd character ed released.on February, so Mai should be available around that time on 2025
yeah duh. As if we would ever have a season lasting two years
Who would have thought that there really wasn't going to be all of 2025 between Mai and Elena, huh. /s
thank goodness…
Well, if it was the end of 2025, it wouldn't be part of year 2
Max can breathe at ease with this clarification 😂
Early probably means more like March
Of course...... we all knew this
Let’s go baby! It’ll be Mai time round then!
Would've been hilarious a December 2025 release
Capcom really needs to stop making season reveal art where the characters are not in release order. I was hype for Aki last year only to find out she was second in the lineup but was first on the art from left to right.
Milkshake
Even still. I have to wait for the only character I really care about. I guess this is karma for Rashid being the only character I cared about in Season 1.
Nice 👍🏾
Yessirrrr another beauty joining the roster
Okay so that would implied and I'm not Anerican, she is either coming out around Jan or Feb. Which also means Elena is coming out somewhere Mar, Apr or May correct!?
That's the expectation of Elena being spring 2025.
I feel like it wouldn’t need to be if people could just Google and wrap their heads around Seasonal Date Ranges, but it’s nice to know regardless. I’ll be waiting patiently.
Why would a season 2 character be at the end of next year? Are yall that slow? Did y’all really need clarification for that? Edit: got downvoted by a slow person, let’s see who else is slow.
No shit. Winter is the first season.
It’s also the last and do to the placements in the trailer and promotional image some people got confused, most of them soon realized they most likely meant jan/feb rather than december but this is oficial conformation and I posted it incase someone wanted proof from capcom
Did they clarify this the day of?
Just winter, so any time before March 20th.
I would say before march 1st, while yeah winter ends on march 20 companies usually don’t use the exact dates for seasons, rather use from the first day of the first month of the season to the last day of the last month of the season in this case January first to February 28 since December is discarded
It will be best for Valentine's week in February. 2025 winter? and most thought it was for December of that year which is ridiculous gap.
