Here's your Elena
100% Eurocentric looking
Based
Looks like a Somali in a white anime wig
This woman was a mistake, Kimberly looks more African than the fucking African.
even LTG approves
anons here were doomposting about her face from the teaser but she turned out clean as fuck lol
Whiytes is the og niggas ya hear
This was more important. Need more of this
She actually looks really good, face included. Sasuga Capcom.
Costume 2 looking so much better makes me think they modelled it first then designed her mandatory new 6 look.
Can I get a QRD on why everyone is screaming about healing? I never played SF4.
Busted move that lets her recover health
Couldn't zone her in 4 because she could just focus attack projectiles and then heal herself. Also, she could forgoe Oki to heal herself. At least in 3, she has to balance using her meter for damage or healing.
original design looks cute as hell
new design looks like total fucking shit
How
Elena ain't black, didn't you know?
Not a single character in SF6 has gotten a good redesign
Her face was always fine, it's her haircut that made her look weird. As in real life, a bad haircut can make you look worse.
Based on a tanned JApanese lady
WE WERE MONARCHS AND SUCH!
Blue Mary had a great redesign, I don't know why they're calling her Cammy though.
based on a tanned Japanese lady
Doesn't matter. She's literally a black African in lore.
so, french?
idk about competitive SF3, not sure she was ever that relevant, but late in SFIV's lifetime, USFIV, she came along and every tournament was dominated by her timing out games by just running away and healing. kind of killed the sentiment for a game that was mostly beloved, and everyone pretended to like SFV after that.
Pretty much this.
She wasn’t top tier early in SFIV, but by Ultra she was ridiculous — she had insane buttons, crazy hurtboxes, Focus smashed zoning, and then she could just HEAL on top of that. Watching her kite and stall matches to time out victories was painful.
It didn’t help that USFIV already had some jank; Elena just pushed it over the edge for a lot of people.
She looks pretty good. I don't play sf6, though. Hopefully the art that comes out of this will be even half as good as all the art that came out of Mai's release.
DJ had a great redesign. So did Rashid, Ed, Ryu, Cammy, and Luke.
god gives his strongest warriors the most autistic (adopted) daughters
Daughter or secret lover? You decide, Anon Babble.
Former for Akuma, latter for me. A chocolate goddess like Elena deserves a BWC, and I can provide.
I'm a big fan of the secret lover narrative because I play Akuma in most SF games, which means he's literally me, and I'm attracted to black women.
SF4 has a mechanic called ultra. it's basically a revenge gauge where if you take damage you gain it. Elena had a bunch of broken hurtboxes that made her harder to hit than a normal character plus she could effectively get like 1.8 life bars by taking damage or using focus attacks (armored moves that build your revenge gauge) and then using her healing ultra. Also, ultras in sf4 use a separate resource from supers/EX moves so she'd still have 90% of her offense available.
What did Capcom mean by this paring?
akuma matata
this anon never has never seen an east african women
MMMMMMMMMMMM
Heh, it would be really funny if we paired up the nicest character with the scariest and most serious wouldn't it?
Is this the first sf6 character theme that's actually good?
I need black women in my life…
I love this troupe
What is Terry's theme?
Go to the southern united states.
Genuinely a near perfect recreation of SF3 Elena, her theme, stage and the character all look insanely good.
If only we got more of these actual SF character instead of fucking guest characters and more than 4 fucking chars a year then I would actually play the game more.
It is pretty funny
OMG LE HEALING I AM LE TRAUMATIZED
Jesus just kill these faggots already. She didn't even win anything big like Crapcom Cup or Evo the year she was out in 4
This cat has eurocentric features
What European is she mixed with?
Fighting games are saved
The fact that Elena is the only SF3 character present is a fucking tragedy
I would kill for Makoto or my man Dudley to be in the game
FEET
This, Jesus Christ it took em this long to acknowledge how shit every single fighting pass has been and finally decided to change it for the better, but only after elena releases...
you somalians will NEVER be white
Me, after we bang.
SOON
if that fake ass leak is real I'm going to set 30,000 live crickets free in capcom HQ
Who were the leaked chars?
c viper and sagat
GROSS
Alex C viper Sagat Ingrid
Alex I'm shocked he wasn't at least year 2.
C. Viper is expected and cool.
Sagat is eh, would be incredible if we had more slots but as it is the roster is already sf2 2.0.
Ingrid is fucking disgusting.
But honestly I would take Ingrid if it meant FIVE CHARACTERS OR MORE
IF WE GET ANOTHER FUCKING LIMP DICKED 4 CHARACTER SEASON I'M FUCKING DONE UNTIL ULTRA OR WHATEVER
Yeah but kimberly looks fucking retarded
african american was nothing but a mistake
Her hair actually looks great here, what the fuck is wrong with the people who do the 3D modelling in SF6
Glad they include her classic costume, because her new one is awful.
More than anything, I blame the hair. It's too damn straight, frames her face badly, and looks like she cut it herself with a bowl and no mirror. Was probably done by whoever came up with Marisa's helmet hair.
It's kinda funny how it took a fucking SF3 character to finally have a good character theme.
Another one to her list of bangers, for me, it's
youtube.com
Kenpachi is kind though, in his own way.
Too bad the engine/art style makes them ugly most of the time, and uncanny the rest of the time with few exceptions. Chun Li, Cammy, and Juri came out the best. The retro costumes really came through for the entire cast. Default Kimberly looks like Toy Story's Sid.
Marisa's helmet hair.
It's supposed to resemble a roman military helmet.
Would racemix
You blow my mind.
She’s american that’s why
Asian americans also go full degen at some point , it's almost like as if the modern american society turns people into pieces of trash o algo
They're fucking retarded and can't tell that the game is STILL insanely stylized so one side pulls for the usual classic stylization that follows the concept and one side pulls for realistic dumb shit, same shit with aki's hair.
It's supposed to build up to the top, instead they just made her inside hair shaved and then she gets that weird ass fucking mushroom head.
Elena's problem is that the hair in art is very thin to give that more regal look, so they straight up just make her bangs be extremely thin and just looks like she's wearing some stretched out pizza dough on her head.
So like most people guessed, it really was just the hair that was the problem.
The hair just has no fucking volume, they didn't translate it into 3D at all.
It's her big change and they should've focused on getting it right, instead they forced her to join the JUST club.
I thought Aki's head was supposed to look like a mushroom, like a poison mushroom
I think it's kinda supposed to be both; a mushroom and a snake hood
No, that was a random ass reddit comment that people rolled with for some reason.
It's supposed to look like a Kasa hat, which is known for being used by assassins and has that stigma behind it, straight from Nakayama
Someone really needed to tell the designer that concept art always comes out better. Especially into 3d models. There's no way people in that office agreed on that shit.
It's a dumb fucking concept even on 2D.
Manon would've been much better as the muscle girl considering she's like a 6'2 brick shithouse but they didn't go far enough with her and the shitty lighting makes her look ghoulish at times.
Real shame cause I honestly like her new outfit. Not as much as classic but would've been nice to switch from time to time.
Ick evolved + max cringe
SF3 character
Ah. That explains a lot.
what the flying fuck are you talking about
That doesn't look like her hair at all though, even in the 2d art
I came in during SF4, what's wrong with Ingrid? Is it the lack of coom or?
Ingrid is a very boring design, being essentially Karin forma Blanco, and has really obnoxious lore of being some secretly some super powerful fighter and the source of psycho power and Satsui no Hadou and everything. Also, she has an annoying group of dedicated coomers who keep pretending she is an important character.
There's different kinds, the purpose of the gap in the middle is to portray the opening that the first hat has, or when the standard more known hats are broken off on the front.
That's the known assassin look.
Ingrid is an OC do not steal that debuted in a dogshit asset flip game that no one played for the PS2, and before that she was supposed to debut in another asset flip game.
She's insanely generic and boring, on top of literally a goddess mary sue that has no relevancy what so ever but keeps being forced by a bunch of autists that are obsessed with her because she was their first gooning session.
You've convinced me. Now for my negroid take. They should add Menat.
why cant tekken have asses like this?
Imagine Michael Jackson in his first year of puberty knocking out teenage Mike Tyson in his roided out prime. Ick^infinity x Cringe^infinity.
Menat is fine. Solid design both visual and gameplaywise, and her story isn't obnoxious. She was one of the better newcomers in 5.
They need to add a billion bells and whistles to make sure everyone looks like incoherent shit
In case you haven't noticed Tekken reuses like 2 body models for every single female and like 3 body models for every male.
They just do body swaps and change the texture color, rarely they might add some little detail.
They should stop stylizing it so much, it looks realy dumb when they have to contort a character's design around a single visual theme. This is also why Marisa looks like total shit.

That's like, Street Fighter's entire thang, no? Though I agree the hair looks like shit.
Don't play SF if you don't want stylization you dumb nigger.
The issue is that they don't stylize enough so the art is always miles better
We KNOW that doesn't mean it looks good.
The issue is that it's stylized really uncannily. They should've gone for an artstyle that isn't this awkward mix of realism and stylization. They were getting close last game, they still looked like playdough but they were starting to realize 2D street fighter in 3D.
ther's plenty of good character themes, unless you're one of those that thinks ryu theme is bad
You shouldn't stylize something if it ends up looking like shit. You can already see enough assassin features in Aki that some dumb hairstyle doesn't add to it. Elena already has a lanky build and neck rings, maybe they should've added some lip plates to make sure everyone knew she was African. If you had your way, Vega would have hair in the shape of a morrion because it's just stylization bro, that means he's gotta be a complete caricature from top to bottom.
It's incredible what a difference the hair makes.
