Ryu now feels odd WITHOUT his beard?

The Japanese Road Fighter 6 Twitter account has launched a brief video, ostensibly specializing in the upcoming fighter’s new “Battle Damag”e function — Sneakily, nonetheless, the clip additionally offers us our first take a look at a model new stage, in addition to a handful of characters’ basic, or “nostalgia”, costumes.

Kicking issues off, we see Household Man Guile in his old-school, Road Fighter II fight fatigues, squaring off in opposition to the Huge Pink Pants of The Iron Physique, Zangief. In a while within the video, we additionally see Chun-Li, within the cut up gown that made her a famous person, battling a white Gi-wearing Ryu.

Additionally of notice, the identical sequence that sees Ryu and Chunners duking it out takes place on a model new stage, which seems to be a gorgeous, ornate area, set seemingly inside a palace of some kind. It’s just like the form of over-indulgence seen in a number of the Capcom Professional Tour phases of Road Fighter V, besides with out all of the cartoonish idiots dancing away within the background.

After all, we’re nonetheless but to find fairly how nostalgia costumes will match into the Road Fighter 6 plan. Will they be day one DLC? or will Capcom comply with my recommendations, (not implying that they, in reality, have), and make the nostalgia costumes unlockable upon the completion of Arcade Mode? This latter choice will a minimum of supply gamers a sensible reward for his or her efforts, far divided from SFV‘s obnoxious “Win the appropriate to buy” routine.

Regardless, it’s nice to see the basic duds in motion. Yet one more thrilling factor for this red-hot-looking launch.
