Cowabunga! Scarf down that slice of pizza and get ready for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Street Fighter 6 collaboration on August 8.

Get radical with TMNT gear and emotes, new Titles, TMNT stamps, in-game device wallpapers, camera frames in Photo Mode, and turn your World Tour and Battle Hub custom avatar into your favorite turtle.

Great, now I have to buy Street Fighter 6 I guess lol

[Zulithe]

Guess I have a reason to get this now... though i'd rather have a new tournament fighters :)

[Shark_Blade]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


*faints*

It’s tomorrow too like what. Injustice now Street Fighter! Love it :tlove:

[Wednesday's Serial]

Kinda a bummer. Just costumes? Give me Donny as a character and ditch AKI, poison characters are lame, we wouldn't miss a thing.

[Shark_Blade]

Wait no weapons then. Ah man. Still cool tho I’ll watch some gameplay before deciding to get it.

[Andrew NDB]

Well... they can't make an exception for the Turtles for weapons. Otherwise why can't Ryu just pick up an axe, and so on.

Also, it's interesting now. The Stranger Things/TMNT toys came out, out of nowhere... then about a year later we have a comic book. A Street Fighter/TMNT comic comes out... now we see that TMNT are set to appear in Street Fighter 6. By this model, I wonder what those TMNT/Cobra Kai toys will lead to?

As actors age out of live-action “kid” believability, I expect an animated project.

[Sumac]

Nice!
Since my country is blocked from buying stuff in Steam, I can't pick it up normally by a normal price.

I've bought SF6, well, code for it, for a price twice as high as it would've been normally, but it was worth every cent. But I can't do the same with DLC, unless I change my region in Steam to another country, which is quite a lot of hassle. So no DLC characters or any kind of DLC content for me. Unless I find a loophole.

I find it strange they don't use 80s logo, opting for a Mirage (kind of) logo instead.

[Powder]

I wasn't gonna buy this game, but now I might. I do like Street Fighter a lot, just not so much the modern designs & playstyle. I'm old school, biased, even. This is great incentive to move with the times, though. :tlol: I do wish it was on Switch, however!

[the fixer]

I was gonna skip this Street Fighter but this changes everything...
GOONGALAAAA!!!

[RaphaelinSTL]

I do wish it was on Switch, however!

Same! I never play anything on my PS4 anymore, outside of when I bought Stray last year. If NetherRealm could get Mortal Kombat running on Switch, I would've loved to have seen Capcom try to get this on there too but alas.

Been thinking of picking up an XBOX Series S just to have something new for a while, so might get this there ... or just go the PS4 route lol.

I'm just much more dedicated to games that are on the Switch I realized. Maybe for the new Switch that comes out next year supposedly?

[Dask]

By this model, I wonder what those TMNT/Cobra Kai toys will lead to?

Maybe the last season of Cobra Kai will introduce Jim Henson-style turtles.

[Shark_Blade]

Okay we can play as the turtle boys in story mode cool.

And here’s the battle hub match:

Dang, they're pretty expensive. Each Turtle costume costs 750 "Fighter Coins" which, I may be wrong, the only way to buy Fighter Coins is with this layout below.

250 Fighter Coins for $6.99.
610 Fighter Coins for $11.99.
1,250 Fighter Coins for $23.99.
2,750 Fighter Coins $49.99.

[Andrew NDB]

* Ankle warmers.

* Letters on the belts.

:x

[The Deadman]

Welp looks like Ill have to get this now.

Honestly, I'm a fan hahaha

I would say that's surprisingly but given Capcom's business strategy these days.

Do the "costumes" really have to be purchased exclusively through in-game credit? I would think they'd just package everything in a DLC pack with a fixed price. Maybe that will come later?

[Sumac]

Costume designs look slightly on "eh" side. Like its obvious those are costumes.
Also, their price at least in Russia is ****ing high, guess, I won't buy them.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, they look like stretchy costumes a man is wearing, and look weird around the legs when in motion. Compared to how much better and more detailed the TMNT from Injustice 2 were (and that was FIVE years ago!), that's pretty bad.

Here's some more gameplay.

[IMJ]

So why are they using Ryu's fireball or Guile's kick? Are these really nothing more than skins?

[TigerClaw]

So why are they using Ryu's fireball or Guile's kick? Are these really nothing more than skins?
I think they are skins, You create a character and put the TMNT skin, and use them anywhere from story mode and the battle hub.

[Sumac]

So why are they using Ryu's fireball or Guile's kick? Are these really nothing more than skins?
Yeah, they are skins for your avatar character. They can be used in a World Tour mode and in a Battle Hub, where you can fight avatars of other players.

You can't fight canonical SF characters with your avatar, outside of World Tour mode.

Yeah, Injustice was incredible but I also think they kind of fit the cartoon aesthetic Street Fighter is going for outside of the realism aspect of Injustice.

They made Injustice 2 so much fun.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Ugh. Why does it have to be so expensive? I think it looks great, and the first video with the old Konami game music makes it even better.

[Dask]

Going by industry trends, I wouldn't be surprised if a new Turtles Tournament Fighter (under a different name, potentially) is announced in 2024.

[Coola Yagami]

Going by industry trends, I wouldn't be surprised if a new Turtles Tournament Fighter (under a different name, potentially) is announced in 2024.

Hopefully it'll be its own thing, and not an extension of the Netherrealm games. Hate their combo system.

[Andrew NDB]

Probably that'd be the most realistic expectation. 1) They're fairly cheap to make compared to some kind of sandbox game or anything involving complex level design and story, 2) There's now a precedent starting with "Tournament Fighters" and going all the way through Injustice 2 and now Street Fighter 6 for them to be in fighting games, 3) Fighting games are fairly hot again.

I really do feel like something changed in the wind in 2018 when the Turtles were guest characters in Injustice 2. I know it was part of their marketing synergy with the Batman crossover comic book and animated film, but I recall reading that the Fighter Pack that the TMNT were in sold really well and their debut trailer was one of the most hyped things at the time.

And with the overwhelming success of Shredder's Revenge and the Cowabunga Collection, Viacom SHOULD be putting more effort into getting more TMNT-related games out there. I'm 100% in on a new TMNT fighting game.

Those designs look pretty cool! Also love how they each have their own unique facial expressions.

That's a more interesting choice for a fighting game with the turtles in it than sticking them into Nick All Stars Brawl.

The original was more akin to Street Fighter right? Could be like that. Or if they make it like Marvel vs Capcom then it could be something similar.

[Andrew NDB]

Oh, I'd love a TMNT fighting game with the Tekken engine, if anything. Forget SF and MK.

[Sumac]

All three games were quite different from each other, in gameplay, visuals and content. TF on SNES played like a SF2, while TF on NES was its own thing and I am not sure what Sega Genesis version was supposed to be. It feels like it was designed by someone who had never played SF2 or any other good fighting game and they just made all mistakes of early pre-SF2 fighting games in one package. It looks though.

If modern TF game is to be released I hope it will be kept with a gameplay similar to SF2 or at least SNK fighting games, i.e. most popular and palatable to the people as opposing to going into some esoteric ways.

Your irrational disliking of 2D fighting games will never not be amusing. :lol:
In a pathetic way, mind you.

3D fighting games are a niche nowadays. Its no longer PS1 days where you could make 3D fighting game by dumping Virtua Fighter 1 Pinocchios into a flat arena with photo for a background and call it a day.

3D fighting games supposed to be showcase of amazing graphics and animation, but most studios don't have such ridiculous budgets and default for 2D which is cheaper and, more importantly, easier to make in regards to gameplay, which is hard to balance and make fun.

There is a reason why 3D fighting games died out, like dinosaurs, except for a very few ancient series.

If there will be a new TF game, it most likely will be a cheap 2D game with a small budget, but huge fanservice, similar to a Power Rangers Battle for the Grid and the like.

[Andrew NDB]

They were putting way too many out all at once, other series and sequels, rapid fire so I think it all kind of burned out. Tekken itself, though, remains largely bulletproof. Tekken 7 outsold both SF5 and SF4, tying with the latest couple of MK games in total sales. It's been a while since Tekken 7 came out, so Tekken 8 could very well be a juggernaut.

[Shark_Blade]

I guess I love the photomode so much.

Yeah, they are skins for your avatar character. They can be used in a World Tour mode and in a Battle Hub, where you can fight avatars of other players.

You can't fight canonical SF characters with your avatar, outside of World Tour mode.

Oh that's actually really disappointing. At first I had thought that these were unique characters.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeesh. I'm kind of having second thoughts about getting this game. Some of these images look like Second Life screenshots... from 10 years ago.

Nah, game looks very good. At least main part. World Hub is probably not a looker, but its far better than any PS2 game.

[oldmanwinters]

Ugh, I didn't even notice they were using the "anklets" on the turtle skins. I've never understood the visual appeal of those. Angle and Arm wraps/tape make sense, but not the ankles, especially being individually color-coded.

[Andrew NDB]

I'd mind the ankle warmers a lot less if they were brown leather, and if the elbow guards and kneepads and wrist guards were also brown leather. As is it looks more Fred Wolf than Fred Wolf, with kind of a creepy man in suit aesthetic.

[IMJ]

Never been a fan of skinning a character outside of the theme of the character. For example, dark suit, light suit, shirtless and evil Ryu skins are all awesome and make sense. But "Leonardo" Ryu is just dumb and adds nothing to the play value.

[Andrew NDB]

It's pretty lazy, too. Like, instead of a fireball couldn't they just have them throw a shuriken? It could still be down, forward, punch.

[Wednesday's Serial]

That would take a ton of animation work, and they'd have to replace a lot more than fireballs to be consistent. Plus it would be visually confusing would the shurikens be as big as the fireball? They'd have the same hitbox? What about Luke's sandblast? Do they need different animations for Dalshims fireball and ... everything?

Given that they are just skins, that's how every other skin in the game works.
