Host discusses latest SGF coverage, Street Fighter 6 updates, and interview insights that hint at the game’s long lifecycle.

Maximilian Dood breaks down major Street Fighter 6 updates, reveals Tifa’s cameo context, teases Yasmin and Bosch, and dives into Lost Castle 2 while testing 2xKO and Thresh/Senna—plus hands-on SGF chatter and your plan for long-term SF6 support.

Summary

Maximilian Dood packs a marathon stream with fresh Street Fighter 6 updates, behind-the-scenes context for the Tifa collaboration, and a deep dive into Season 4’s characters. He confirms Capcom’s ongoing push to extend Street Fighter 6’s lifespan, including the goal of a long life cycle (he cites a company aim of around ten years). The discussion is anchored by new DLC: Yasmin is slated for August 3, and Bosch’s playable status is foregrounded as part of a broader plan to introduce more brand-new faces rather than rely solely on returning stars. Along the way, Max revisits 2x KO to re-familiarize with the control scheme and checks in on the Star Fox demo and alienate narrative threads like SGF coverage and Alien Isolation 2 impressions. He also teases a healthy ecosystem for Capcom fighters, hinting at future cross-title opportunities and an ongoing Street Fighter 6 content cadence (updates, QoL, balance). Between updates, he rolls into a sponsored segment with Lost Castle 2—an arcade-styled roguelite beat ‘em up that just hit 1.0—showing a Castle Crashers–meets-Rogue-lite vibe with cooperative play and a hefty loot loop. The stream is peppered with personal takes: the new audience skew (younger players 15–25), the challenge of learning new mechanics in fighting games, and a clear appetite for the long game rather than a quick sequel sprint. By night’s end, Max envisions a Capcom fighting games ecosystem where Street Fighter 6 remains central but not isolated, with potential for future crossovers and IP expansions beyond traditional sequels.

Key Takeaways

  • Capcom aims for Street Fighter 6 to have a long 10-year life cycle, emphasizing ongoing updates and new character introductions to sustain engagement.
  • Yasmin will lead the year-four lineup (announced for August 3), with Tifa’s collaboration framed as a long-built, cross-title collaboration rather than a one-off splash.
  • Bosch was always intended to be playable, with early hints in prequel materials; his inclusion signals a broader strategy to rotate in new faces alongside returning veterans.
  • Street Fighter 6 is attracting a younger demographic (roughly 15–25) and Capcom is actively courting that base to grow the game’s longevity beyond traditional elder-fighter audiences.
  • Lost Castle 2 is entering 1.0, offering a roguelite beat ‘em up experience with couch co-op potential and a Castle Crashers–like aesthetic, now sponsored into Max’s stream.
  • Thresh and Senna in 2x KO get screen time again, with Maximilian revisiting the control scheme to gauge vibes and potential team synergy for future sessions.

Who Is This For?

Essential viewing for fighting-game fans who want a clear read on Street Fighter 6’s long-term strategy and the new DLC slate, plus a taste of indie roguelite co-op action with Lost Castle 2. Also great for players curious about how major publishers plan multi-year lifecycles for fighting games while juggling new IPs and collaborations.

Transcending history and the world. A tale of dudes and souls eternally retold. We all need to shine to see how far we come on our journey. Yeah to go searching for our star deep in the night. Pray in my heart for that special life. Shower me with love. Shower me with power. I got to get the edge of car to carry on. Leave my heart. Yo, what's up, dudes? All right, chat. Uh, we're back. Games are getting updated. Uh, Street Fighter is also getting updated, man. Apparently, for a very long time, according to Capcom. Hello. Hi. Hello. And hi. Hi. Um, yeah, apparently the the Knicks game was crazy. That [ __ ] was crazy. Street Fighter 6 news. Yeah, there was a lot more interviews that happened for Street Fighter 6 over the past um 24 hours. A lot of stuff came out. Um, it's pretty nuts. Pretty nuts. A lot of things, man. A whole bunch of things. Hater alert. Um, nah, I I'm not even following much of what's going on with baseball. Welcome back to the stage. Uh anyway, what games you played at SGF can you talk about? So, I think yeah, I'm going to check out Thresh tonight. I want to check out 2X scale really bad. Um I want to see if it I want to get back in and remind myself of the the control scheme, see how it works. Um what can I talk about from SGF before we get into Street Fighter stuff? So, the plan tonight is to cover the Street Fighter stuff and to be uh, you know, updated on that because there's even an update from the stuff that I talked about yesterday. Marvelous. Uh, while also um I got a sponsored stream for Lost Castle 2, which is like a rogike beat him up um that just entered 1.0 or is about to enter 1.0 in like a couple days. And uh outside of that, it's very Castle Crashers like it's got that kind of style. Um, and outside of that, yeah, I just got to play more. I want to play more 2x KO. I just want to see how it vibes with me, you know, before we start doing stuff before I start debating which fighting game I want to play. Oh, Star Fox demo. I might check that out tonight. If things don't go particularly well with um with 2x KO, if I don't I think I'll probably like the character, but if not, uh I'll maybe check out the Star Fox demo. Mortal Shell 2 as well. Jeez, dude. So much stuff. Stellar Blade, never heard of it. Um, how was the Mortal Shell 2 beta? Can I talk about my game of the show? Hold on a second, chat. Can I even discuss it? There's not much to discuss. Um, hold up, hold up, hold up. Feels a lot less soulsy. Really? That's interesting. Wednesday, June 10th. That's today. Um, wow. Okay, so uh my favorite game at SGF this year was Alien Isolation 2 and um we can actually talk about it. The ones in terms of games that I actually got to play. Uh yeah, Alien Isolation 2. It was great. It was It was great. Um I played like the very beginning of the game, like the very beginning. And I was shocked that it's actually playable, that it's like way further along than we thought. But the opening chapter, the tone, the characters, the setup, uh you know how here's the pretty much the only impression I can give you. You know how in Alien Isolation 1 takes a long time, like it pretty much has the establishment of uh an Alien or Aliens movie where it takes a long time to get going and for things to happen. Um, and it's like pretty it's actually it doesn't do a great job at like beginning that process. when it when it eventually happens and the infirmary hits, uh, that game becomes balls to the wall bonkers. Just crazy. So, there's a lot of buildup and it isn't the best buildup, but when the game eventually hits, Alien Isolation 1 was wonderful. So, I got to play Alien Isolation 2 and right out the bat, it's great. Right out the bat, we got to play like just the prologue of the game. um big introduction to a very outside an outside environment and it's it is so it's alien right but it is so hostile and so like alienscoded like very LV426 um yeah can I talk about there is B-roll Hold on a second chat maybe I can just grab it really quick hold Hold on. Um, see, let me see. Let me see. It is an LV426. It's actually the planet um, and I don't think this is embargoed. I hope it's not. It's actually the planet that uh, the Sylvestole, whatever the station is called in Alien Isolation 1. It's the planet that it crashes onto. It's like almost like a gas giant, but it's it's got ground to it. And there is a few um there's like a survey team or something full of three people that is driving around and yeah, like a huge thing like blasts the environment in front of them and um yeah, it's the remnants of the ship. So, it had a very cool opening, dude. like a very like wow this is this is sick. Um welcome back to the stage of history. Oh, I've downloaded it four times. Jesus Christ. My bad. Uh there we go. This will download in a few minutes. It'll give me some gameplay um some extra gameplay to look at. Did IGN post gameplay? Maybe I can just use that. Let me check. Hold up. Hold up. You also got to go to IGN for Street Fighter stuff. My god, you're playing as Ripley? No, not in what I played. No, you're playing as just somebody else. I forgot what her name is. It is like a female lead. Um, but yeah, like we're talking about Isolation 2. It's not Amanda Ripley. It's like nothing to nothing to do with her. Um, different person. Hold on a second. What the hell? Um, IGN Alien Isolation 2. They have footage hands-on preview. Yeah, that as I picked up the controller in this room of developer Creative Assembly's headquarters, my mind was a wash with excitement. This like exterior environment. Oh, so like you are straight up in the environment from the first game. like you are going around and investigating the same hallways and locations as the first game, but it's the ship that crashed, so everything's like destroyed, right? Um, the entire process of like getting to the ship, this environment moment was so goddamn cool. Original protagonist, like the sound, the atmosphere, everything about this opening area was so sick, dude. Dude, lab. A lab. Should you need reminding, there was jet. I just I absolut It looked incredible. It just looked amazing. We didn't have any guns. We didn't really have much to work with, but like and it was mostly like a walking and looking situation until you actually have to avoid the alien again. But yeah, dude. The alien got me like a few real good times where it's like I'm definitely safe where I'm at right now and I turn around and that [ __ ] is right behind me and I'm like, holy [ __ ] Oh my god. Like if if you It definitely felt like if you stay in the same spot um for too long, if you just like wait and stay in the spot for too long, it will find you. Uh it eventually finds its way to you. And I was like in a duct in a duct in a duct. And I was like, I'll be fine in here. And I turned around and that [ __ ] got me. I was like, what the [ __ ] Like that was nuts. ing embers and broken trees towards a huge Yeah, this [ __ ] was amazing that has clearly punched through the atmosphere and half buried itself in the planet surface. This [ __ ] this [ __ ] was so cool. Um, so yeah, my my it ended up being like it wasn't not a ton of stuff was playable and I didn't play Control. I think Control ended up getting um game of the year for most folks at at SGF, but I just didn't have an appointment for it unfortunately. I'm looking forward to eventually playing it. But man, I really really really uh enjoyed Alien Isolation 2. I was like, "Oh, I'm ready for this. This [ __ ] is good." Like, this [ __ ] is going to be real good. So, yeah, I can't wait whenever it comes out. I can't wait. I don't know if Control I mean, people are saying Control was very good, but I just have not um had a chance to play it yet myself, you know. So, my two favorite games that I played at the show was Alien Isolation 2 and probably Aliens Fire Team 2. Like, they were my two favorite games that I played because a lot of other stuff I've been playing for years, you know, different versions of for like a very long time. But I had never played Alien Isolation 2 and I never played Aliens Fire Team 2 and both of them are like, damn, these are good. Like the Alien sweep at Summer GameFest was very weird. So, yeah. I mean, if Crazy Taxi and Virtual Fighter was playable, like I might be thinking I might be singing a different tune right now. So, um, but they weren't. So, we can only discuss it so much. Um, we got a, uh, quick sponsored stream, um, in a couple of minutes, uh, in just over like 10 15 minutes for Lost Castle 2. So, we're going to play that for a bit. But before we do that, before we jump into the the bonkers that is uh posts summer gamesfest world, a post Final Fantasy 7 and Tifa is in Street Fighter universe. Um there's been a lot more information on things that have popped up for SF6 and we've gotten a lot more clarification even outside of my interview, which is the lovely thing that everyone's going to have different questions. Um and yeah, you know, all those things we've been talking about, we're like, is this the end of Street Fighter 6? Is this the end of uh World Tour in total? Is is are they going to do it later? Like what is going on? Uh Street Fighter 6 might be going on for a very long time. So um thanks to IGN and a few other articles. We got to go over it. Dude, this stuff is kind of crazy. Um so let's go down. If you guys want to check out the articles, I'll link to them in both uh in YouTube and Twitch. Hold on a second. You want to check out the full article? We're going to be going over some of the the meaty portions. There you go. So, um, the initial conversation for Tifa actually began like three years ago. So, near the launch of the game, we had a mutual friend who works at Square who was a big fan of Street Fighter 6. We've been discussing um about what we could do to collaborate somehow. And then eventually those conversations led to what about a potential guest character from one of their IPs or series. So, that was a long time ago. Um, and around that time, Final Fantasy 7 remake series was very active and looking um, and looking at the character background, a character like Tifa who's got a heavy martial arts style. We thought it would be perfect for Street Fighter 6. So, it kind of organically led to that happening. So, as a reminder, Chad, games don't make themselves and they take a long time. Things take a hell of a long time and Tifa has been in the books for quite some time, even before Tekken 7. Um, I'm sorry. Tekken 8 was even out as a game. So, this is this has been in the books for quite some time. Um, and if we go down a little bit more, uh, some clarification on Tifa. When designing the character uh, for Street Fighter 6, a lot of reference materials provided from FF7 team from the Capcom designers was create created to implement into the game. A lot of things were taken into consideration like the exaggerations that are required for as an example when a punch or a kick lands ultimately that gets reviewed by the team at Square including Numeasan which we did talk about as well uh from the FF7 team and then once that's approved it goes up to the developers at the Capcom side to get implemented into the game uh normal stuff you know um so a big question is that Street Fighter 6 has a long way to go till like the 10 million unit milestone um but Capcom sounds pretty happy with where things currently are with the game. I mean, it has record-breaking numbers. It's got even more players than usual. A lot of stuff, right? So, it seems like Street Fighter 7 is not actually going to be happening anytime soon. Like the presumption of like this is this is definitely been very weird. The way this this current the current state of Street Fighter 6, it's been pretty weird. So, what is happening? Uh, does it mean that Street Fighter 7 is around the corner? Are they not going to be supporting it for very long? We genuinely didn't know when it went to the next season. Um, so they personally want Street Fighter 5, um, Street Fighter 6 to be running and operating for as long as possible. When we initially kicked off the project, our internal goal was to hit like a 10-year life cycle, but that's why we're working so hard to improve the quality of the game and make sure that the characters we introduce are attractive and appealing. So, that is a stark contrast compared to where we're currently at, my dude. Like, what we were currently thinking right before this, that's a long time. Like, we're at the three-year mark right now, dude. We're going to triple that and add another year. Here's the thing. I feel like I feel like this is their desire, right? They want to be able to do this. It's the goal to have a game that lasts like almost a decade. That's the goal. Is it the plan? Is it what they what they are currently scheduled to do? Probably not. Uh but you know, all things considered, the amount of new players, the amount of existing players, the amount of people buying content, the amount of things people just purchase overall as the game continues will ultimately be the deciding factor. That's just the way it goes. So, hi James. Um, so yeah, it's like they would like that. It feels like it feels like that'd be cool. It also feels like in order to have the game be supported for that long, if they want to have an elongated support period, maybe doing world tour just wasn't the best bet. I think we're going to get some clarification on that in the stuff that they talked about in the near future. Um, but anyway, yeah, I can see a lot of other quality of life things happening to the game over time, including I would not be surprised if it also includes like big balance changes and uh mechanical adjustment. I would not be surprised. So, and for the question of Street Fighter 7, that's not something we're really making or really thinking about right now. We're seeing a lot of new players coming into the game that want to continue catering to that and and want to continue catering to that audience. So, Street Fighter 6 and maintaining its longevity is the main focus. Um, that is that's pretty big. Uh, they tease that there's a lot that they want to do for Street Fighter 6. Um, but won't draw on what exactly. There's stuff that I'm thinking, but I don't want to spoil the fun for everybody. So, the game I'm trying to find the other quotes, but there were some recent other quotes that were talking about the new girl. Um, the first character in DLC pack season 4, uh, about her being sort of like the new protagonist. Yeah, Yasmin. Sorry, I always forget her name. U, I got the new Virtual Fighter characters and the new Street Fighter characters names in my head. And then like that character seems to be catered to the new hero character of the game. So it's like oh um interesting. So it's like we're like sort of passing the baton of Luke in some way. If anybody has that article, hit me up because that also had some pretty interesting [ __ ] in it. You thought it was going to be Bosch? Apparently no. Bosch is like they were always planning on Bosch being playable. There was also discussions that hey, you know what, was it the Famitsu interview? Hold on a second. I got to check it out. They were also mentioning that this season is is kind of unique where it's full of three brand new playable characters to Street Fighter 6 um technically and one brand new guest character. So, all technically new characters. Bosch being an unplayable character before and they said that it was consistently their intention to add new characters to Street Fighter 6 and the only new character that they've added to the game so far post launch has been AI and we made we made this observation a bit before all this information came out where it was like okay yeah I mean I think they're I think they're allowed to have a couple new ones um and it kind of feels that way that it's like yeah that makes sense. But at the same point, they know a lot of people are like frothing for the Makoto and the Dudley's and the Sakuras and and all that kind of stuff that there is a um feverish demand to bring back a lot of other characters that people want to see in Street Fighter that were not in maybe even Street Fighter 4, Street Fighter 5, anything like that. So, it's like, yeah, that's completely fair, but at the same point reminding that like we haven't actually added many new characters. like it's been a whole bunch of returning characters from multiple seasons now. Um, so it's like fair. A crazy thing was that they also have to pay attention to their audience. and they were specifically discussing that the audience for Street Fighter 6, the people that are actively playing and buying and engaging with this game currently um is not the typical or the atypical 30 to 40year-old, which usually is where the majority of fighting game audiences tend to skew. They tend to go in an UNC direction because it's sort of an UNC genre. They pretty much exclaimed that like they have a big audience of like 15 to about like mid20s like something around there and which is an extremely young demographic for a fighting game like extreme especially for a fighting like a big legacy Street Fighter 6 level fighting game. So I think that mostly contributes to like what they what they've done with the efforts of this game. like they've really gotten they've really gotten um control of a brand new audience for Street Fighter for a brand new generation. They've really done it. So, in what region though? I mean, I don't think they care. Like like here's here's the reality of the situation. Numbers are numbers, right? Like the amount of people engaging and playing with it isn't import is the most important thing. What's not important is where they're coming from. Like to be completely honest, they're a global company. They're looking for anything. They want people to come from anywhere. You know what? You know what I mean? Um and that from a developer perspective, you cannot ignore the largest contributing demographic or side of your audience. And if that big side of the audience is a whole bunch of like youngans that are playing the game that have a chance to buy new games, like that's exciting, dude. That that's hard to do as a fighting game. Like holy [ __ ] that's really tough. I mean, do we want to feel like we're being catered to all the time? Yeah, I think we do. Because the majority of Capcom games have been directly catering to a global global audience for quite some time. In fact, the majority of Japanese publishers and developers, the biggest audience for the majority of these games is the West. Like, it is usually the West in Tekken's situation is Europe, right? Like really big. Like they they just represent the biggest side. So, that was probably the plan, you know. I would I would argue that was probably the plan to create a global game that everyone can get into. And to be honest, they did that. They're they're up like what 7 million copies sold in 3 years, which is these guys are going to be breaking 10 million easy. Like, this is going to be a 10 million unit sold Capcom fighting. That [ __ ] hasn't happened in forever. Um, I think they have to they have to follow what makes sense. You know, do I will I still be be griping about things that like of shakeups and things like that, but like I've been saying for practically a couple years now, yeah, I will. But I can't blame them for like following the success that they created in some way, you know? Does it mean that it's a game specifically for Japan only? Dude, I don't think only Japan is playing this [ __ ] Like I think this game is engaging a lot of people and it's doing it's doing very good. It's it's doing really good. So all all Yeah. All we got to say is that season five that's for the Italians. They're going straight after the Italian audience. Um they're going to grab them by the balls and they're never going to let go. Mama mia iicar. Wait, that's wrong. Sorry. Disrespectful. The Spanish audience is right after that. Um I didn't find the quotes. Hold on a second. Let me look. Uh, Seor, uh, where the hell is the quote? I can already see the chat. How can Max be so disrespectful to Italians? And I would tell you, my non no would whip your ass if she was still alive. Uh, hold on. Where was it? Famitsu. get him. where is it? Which article was it, chat? Was it Famitsu? I want I want to see. Was this Was it translated anywhere? Does it have any top billing on any sites? The article. Um, at me on Twitter if you possibly can, please. Thank you. Max hates pasta. I might have to destroy you in Minecraft. If you if you make such bold claims, I might have to destroy you in Minecraft. I grew up with my my dad's side of the family speaking Italian, and I learned nothing. hold on. Check the new Final Fantasy. I'm I'm sort of curious about it. I'm sort of curious. I'm too FF7 coded right now, dude. My My entire persona is FF7 [ __ ] for the past like 10 years, you know? It's really difficult for me to like hover around and get really into um other RPGs at the moment, you know? is where is this thing at? Thank you. That's a big ad. Um, all right. Let's just start reading this. Nihongo or Street Fighter Deshiku. Uh, Mayamo. Uh, this is this is uh not helpful. This is unhelpful actually. Watashiwa confused a desk. Um, is there anything else? Right click translate. No, this just can't be accurate, right? Is this like AI driven? Um, let's see. extreme. you mentioned you have a lot of specific ideas regarding the design. Do you have any plans for additional costumes? Yes, there is. I can't go into details, but I'm sure it'll be something that everyone will enjoy. Um, this is all Tifa stuff. we've actually been discussing new characters appearing in year 4 for about 2 to 3 years now. Um, given the region's extremely large population, we initially wanted to include India as a potential nationality for new characters. The number of players on site is actually increasing too. So, the amount of like players that people are playing Street Fighter 6 is actually increasing. And one more thing, I really want to include a character from the Philippines. says because many of the key members you're familiar with such as those involved the fighting game community uh vicious are wellknown for his commentary actually have roots in the Philippines given this background our aim was surprise and delight everyone in the community that's when we decided to use Indian and Filipino nationalities for new characters and then we delve deeper into thinking about what specific martial arts they should use and what kind of characters they should become interesting uh also when we look back at the history of the series we wanted to feature countries that hadn't yet appeared in Street Fighter And this would be the first time there's a Filipino Street Fighter character. Um, cool. We're was celebrating the 40th anniversary in 2027. I felt like we had run out of new ideas when it came to the connection between the country and martial arts. Um, very cool. First, regarding Yasmin, whenever I create a character, I always put in the thought of making them a new protagonist. Luke is on the package of the game, but to put it extremely, it wouldn't be strange for anyone to be on the package. I'm developing the game so that any character can be the main character. We've also discussed that if there's one character who will take on the lead role in year four, it is Yasmin. She turned out to be a character with a very protagonist-like qualities. Interesting. Um Arjun has a large build but his arms do not extend. Wanted to create an Indian fighter. Uh mentioning he has very large population uh in India. The number of people who actually play Street Fighter is increasing. However, up until now, the only character from India in the series was Doulm. So, we wanted to include a new character. That's how this project came about. That's a good point is that there's a been a very long time there's been any sort of like brand new representation from India. I didn't even realize that. Do's been the only one for the hell of a long time. He's just like a brick [ __ ] house. Uh he looks like he came out of like a Bali movie or something like that. looks like a looks like a fictional character in a well in a movie in a video game. Um, Bollywood, sorry. Matsumoto uh says has a modern feel that will feel easily accepted by today's players. Nakama, that's right. I think it incorporates many modern elements. Where what are the fighting game scenes like in India and the Philippines? Um, I hope the Philippines will send a boom and that enthusiasm will spread from there to neighboring countries. It's funny to think of like it's almost from a marketing perspective that they're targeting characters and countries. I mean they did this with Korea and Jury and it blew up, right? To target regions and locations where they literally can have more global expansion where it's like, okay, so if we just start going to specific locations across the world that don't have a lot of representation, then there's a chance that we could make the game blow up over there and get some new audience. never thought of it that way. Technically, that's very it's a very Tekken way of thinking about that, right? That's a very Tekken way of thinking about it. Um, Bosch is finally going to be a playable character is a hot topic, but the development team have any intention from the beginning to make him playable? It was intended from the very beginning. There were lots of hints in places, um, including the prequel manga. So, I always thought, I definitely want to make this happen someday. Makes sense. Um, yeah. I'm almost not surprised that that ended up being what actually happened. Some more details on the characters themselves. What else do we have? I want to play Yasmin. I'm really She's the one I'm the most excited about. She's the design I like the most out of all of them. Yeah, interesting. She has the uh the smoke weapon. What's it called? The um what's this like glaive knife? Uh it has like a really specific name. The corambit. Yeah, the Kurami. Something like that. Corambit. how long did it take from initial planning stage to final design decisions? I think I continued drawing designs for about a year and a half. So, if we consider the entire process from start to project, I think it really did take two and a half years. We have a surprising number of rejected designs. Uh, cool. Is that it? It I think that's it. It more details on the three brand new characters and stuff like that. the the article of them talking about the demographic of the game like shifting from effectively an UN game. Wait, is there a page two? Uh, is there is there a page two? Oh, there it is. Sick. Hold up. [ __ ] [ __ ] We'll go with this translation. bunch of talk about the name local like supporting your local B. That's a good point. Yeah, we were just talking about this. Like it's almost like a local baseball team is having your region being represented. adding new characters directly expands the world and possibilities of Street Fighter. We haven't we have announced that our character Yasmin will be released on August 3rd, which is not far away. So, that will be a major starting point. Our basic operation policy is to continue as before while also implementing collaborations and other initiatives. Interesting. In 2027, the Street Fighter series will celebrate its 40th anniversary. I have a feeling that it will be packed with exciting developments. Um, Guinness World Record stuff in EVO Japan 2026, right? stuff that we do kind of know. Any thoughts into creating new characters? See if I can find this quote. The line drawn between what makes a Street Fighter a game that also features weapons and the true essence of what makes Street Fighter a game. Um, as seen through the Super Headbot. What? Talking about characters fighting with knives. Trust me, you'll be fine. JP's beating everybody with a cane. It's fine. It trust me. It's fine. Cody's like punching people over the head with a pipe. Rento stick smashes dudes. Funning style by design. Here we go. I've heard this is quite unprecedented even at Capcom, but the number of users continues to grow and the number of concurrent users is increasing directly from Masamoto himself. It's truly wonderful to see this kind of phenomenon happening within a title that's been out for 3 years and now it's entering its fourth year. We hope to maintain this upward momentum. This excitement is all thanks to the players who are playing right now. That's right. And although we are just the development team and not directly involved in the operation, the esports scene and the excitement surrounding the official tournaments are truly immense. The fact that there has been achievable records like Gennis at EVO 2026 um largely thanks to our players and fans. It wouldn't mean anything if people weren't playing our game. I want to work even harder on the 40th anniversary while truly appreciating the gratitude I feel for this opportunity. We will make the game even more appealing from various angles so that people will want to play it. Yes, that's the kind of enthusiasm we're working with. There is a little bit more. Hold on a second. There is There is This was This did highlight some things that I was talking about, but there was more. Let me see if I can get the quotes if it's on Event Hubs. Um, complete. Mission complete. Yeah, Bosch looks interesting. I wonder what he's actually going to play like cuz he was sort of like Lukeish, you know. Uh, hold up, hold up, hold up. Let me see. He has bison powers in world tour. That's weird. Uh, this was from this article. Okay, that ain't that one. Hold up. Hope it uses bod spark is the other article. Okay. Game spark SF6 nine hours ago. This might be it. Yeah, here's one on Era. Um, year four features a lineup centered around new characters, not returning characters from previous Street Fighter titles. Tell us the reason behind the policy. Just I think this reiterates what I said. M says, uh, first of all, SF6 itself has seen a huge increase in new customers and younger players. Until now, the most voluous age zone was like 35 to 40. Um, but in Street Fighter 6, it's closer to 15 to 25. Uh, is now the majority at over 70%. Damn. Damn. So, that's what that feels like. That's what that's that's what that feels like to not be directly catered to, says the guy who got Tifa. Sorry. Uh, in that context, I feel that Street Fighter 6 is very wellreceived for having many completely new characters. Oh, they're tagging me in this [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Um, yeah. I mean, brother, that [ __ ] makes sense. That just like this is I I like this is the dream, right? You you realize this like we've all like ever since the Street Fighter 4 era like Tekken 7 very few games maybe Dragon Ball Fighters, Smash Brothers like some games have managed to find success and also build a new audience. Like that is the dream to actually build a new foundation to build upon and not only rely on the people that like this [ __ ] from 30, 40 years ago. Literally the whole goal, literally the whole goal of reinvisioning what the hell Street Fighter is. the whole goal of them making Virtual Fighter what it is going forward into the future. That's it's the whole reason. You know what I mean? So, I just want to see this stuff like exist. If it feels like they're not catering to us and we're not getting our like super Street Fighter 6, I feel like that's the that's like the big thing. This is why I asked the question I did is that there is a demand for a mechanical shakeup in some way, right? That's it. And that's all people really want. people just want like a re-evaluation of the game mechanics. Um, can you blame them for that? Not necessarily. I think that's a fair request, but as the developer said, you know, there's a 40th anniversary right around the corner. And, you know, it's all about timing. It's all about doing this stuff within the right timing. Uh, let me go here. Hold on a second. Let me click on this and see if I can translate this or not. Translate to English. talking about Bosch. The world tour has reached a milestone with the addition of Ingrid. Are there any plans to develop story elements or content that delves deeper into the characters that could replace world tour in the future? Um, Nakayama says, "I'd like to do it, but that's a wish." The development staff also loved World Tour, so we were eager to create it. However, due to various circumstances, it became a little more difficult than we hoped. On the other hand, we think World Tour played a certain role in serving as an entry point to fighting games and acting as a tutorial. Interesting. So, it might be a there. No, they confirm it's done. They confirm that like world world tour mode as we know it is done. It's it's cooked. So that's it. That's very interesting. And I I almost don't blame them blame them from a perspective of like ongoing game support because World Tour got more ongoing like brand new free editions than a Monster Hunter game, dude. Than even a Monster Hunter game. Like like if we go back to Iceorn and stuff like that, Monster Hunter Wilds and Monster Hunter Rise, they had just about 3 years of support and then it was done. Like it sounded like this stuff was taking too much time and too much resources. I blame Alex. That's a good way to think about it. After that [ __ ] that was the reason. It was Alex's fault. They they understood the dangers of giving backstory to characters. The dangers of finding out what they've really been up to. Oh dear, he's still in court. Damn. Still trying to find out what's going to happen to Alex. Um, could you tell us the inspiration and process behind the Tifa collab? Uh, yeah. We got the background on that. yes. Yes, more more confirmation on the existing stuff. Anyway, yeah, world world tour is indeed done from their perspective. Um whether or not they're going to do a new thing, whether or not they're going to add more stuff, whether or not that is going to be the reality moving forward or what the hell their plans are uh for the future, I don't know. I don't know. Uh but them adding, I think it was very telling. We talked about this before. Them adding Avatar Arcade and Avatar matchmaking was kind of the first like, oh, why would you add a whole new mode when you have to update all these modes every time you add characters? Like, why would you do that? It's almost like it's done. There there were there was the warning signs. There was the immediate warning signs. Either way, um, Street Fighter 6 is going to live on. It's just going to live on through its characters. We're probably going to see future Capcom fighting games in the near in the near or hopefully not too far future. Like I do want to see a Capcom fighting game ecosystem. I think that's what I would like. I want to see an ecosystem that supports not just Street Fighter 6 or a battle hub that doesn't support Street Fighter 6. I think there's really cool opportunities for Street Fighter to effectively have like almost a uh a a multi-game hub that supports multiple things. Like that would be mad cool, dude. if if there was like a lot of different fighting games at Capcom that you could play actively at the same time. So, you got to be thinking that like behind them just supporting Street Fighter 6, there's probably other things that they're working on in the background right now. Whether or not that's CVS3, Marvel vs. Capcom 67, uh, you know, anything like that, whatever that new Darkstalkers, we're just going to do, uh, we're just going to make Project Justice again, you know, any of that kind of stuff. Like, whatever the hell it is. I I I'm curious if they're trying to create like an ecosystem because effectively adding a ton of single player content forever just might not have the stability they were looking for, you know? So anyway, I'm just happy to see that Capcom fighting games are back. And once again, if one Capcom fighting game is doing so good, that means that there can be a support system for future games. And that's all I want, dude. I just want I want Capcom to take risks on fighting game franchises that they really haven't messed with in a long time. That's just I just want to see what their take on something like Darkstalkers would be. Not even saying I want it to be that. Like I they have the money, they have the equity, they have a team that's good at this. They know how to they know how to make a single player like Capcom fighting game that feels worth it and can connect with people and they got bro they got the IP and they got the characters. That's for sure. Anyway, why'd you set up those chat neurons? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Um adding those characters means you're just going to skip those like they did in Street Fighter 5, right? Yeah. I mean, that's the big difference is that there was also characters added in Street Fighter 5 where we were like, why the hell are they doing this? I don't I don't like there were characters I just never played in SF5. Like, I tried them once and I was like, I am good. I don't need to play much of them anymore. And that's also that's also happened in Street Fighter 6. Like, try them for like just one session. Like, I don't even need to play this character online. I'm good. Um, but if this game does like legit get like seven plus years of support, they're going to have 60 characters in this [ __ ] They're going to have like 60 characters. My god, dude. It's gonna be ridiculous. Um, yeah, a lot of Street Fighter news. There was quite a bit. TIFF is a pretty big deal. And now, uh, Street Fighter 6 is going to be going on for a long time. Quite a long time. I'm going to be playing this [ __ ] till we're 90. Uh, controller fan, thank you. Dead offbeat ninja. Uh, Donovich, Kari Boy, Leopard, Zarinos. Do I have a controller? I do. Um, bullet jester. I'm not yen. Rampage elite. Poor Kmart and Eternal Ruin. Thanks everybody. Appreciate it. At least it means more characters. That's kind of like if you're like it it makes me happy because it means that the likelihood of Dudley getting Street Fighter 6 representation is high. Like it's pretty it's pretty high if the game is just going to get support for a very long time. and me effectively getting like a permanent character in the game. Whether or not that does end up landing on Terry or Tifa or who knows, maybe it's one of the new characters. I don't know. It could be Arjun. I don't know. Um that's neat. I think just the more chances of something in the game resonating, just making you want to play the [ __ ] out of it, which Tifa will do for me, um is cool. That's kind of what they're looking for from the perspective of a game developer, you know, getting people back in and trying stuff. I I wouldn't even be surprised if Bosch is like the spiritual Shawn. Like I wouldn't even be surprised if he really is like they're trying to like pull him off as being that. I don't know. I'm curious on Yasmin. I actually am. She's got a cool design, dude. Even with TA being added and willing to wager you might play more Terry. Terry's gameplay really sells in Street Fighter 6 right now. But my dude, what what is the ultimate? Like I just won't play a game for the sake of playing a game. Like there's plenty of things to play and try. Uh if I get fighting game characters where I love the character, I love the way they look and I love their gameplay. If all those things line up, I play the [ __ ] out of them. Like I really do. When all when it's like the perfect storm of all of this [ __ ] and it all comes together, like you've seen it happen time and time again. It's like I'll play the wackest ass DNF duel game, bro. Like, just because I get this guy that does all this [ __ ] or something like that. Like, it's just the way it is. Like, Mortal Kombat X the Predator. Like, what can I tell you, dude? It's just the way it is. I think my last absolute perfect storm was um was literally DNF Duel. I played that I played that [ __ ] for like a month and a half straight. I just had a great [ __ ] time until they gutted everything. until they gutted the [ __ ] out of that game, dude. Jesus, man. They gutted the [ __ ] game. see, you know what? I'll be real. Ken Ken was that at the beginning of um uh Oh god, there's an update. Ken was that at the beginning of Street Fighter 6. Yeah, I was really enjoying Ken at the beginning of Street Fighter 6, but um I could only keep grinding the game and dealing with its oki like it's uh the RPS OI so much like it was when you played it a lot day in day and day in day and day in day out. Yeah, I got a little frustrated. I got a little frustrated. Lars, no. Lars was there for a bit. I really enjoyed Lars and Tekken 8. L like no that character got me like playing a [ __ ] ton of Tekken 8 dude and I never really played much Lars before like a little bit. Um yeah, welcome back to the stage. I mean I hope she gets a stage. I hope they're just saving that as a um as a uh potential like exciting thing. Yeah, Seek Freed and Grand Blue got me like ranking up like I I played at least for like a straight week and had a really good time. Um, and I like Grand Blue Fantasy Versus Rising. I liked it that I I liked it way more than Grand Blue versus like way more. The problem is chat is that when you when you enjoy fighting games and you have so many options and you are me, um, it is incentivized for somebody like me to play a lot of things. And I'll be completely honest, my favorite thing in fighting games is the learning process. My favorite my absolute favorite thing in fighting games is that when you get a game like a new game and people don't know much about it and everyone's just learning and playing the [ __ ] out of it. I I love it. Like it is it's like getting a Souls game in the first two days when nobody knows what's happening. like it's just pure discovery and like engagement and everyone's just trying to figure out what to do until you get to the point where the most reward is rewarded to the person that can just put in the most time, right? And that's just the nature of all competitive games. Like the more time you got, the better you're going to be, you know, and if you have talent and time that combines with the two, then you're going to be pretty good at that game. You just have to play the [ __ ] ton of it, you know? So, it's really crazy when it's like the first week and and we're just finding things and discovering things and [ __ ] is changing all the time. Like when it comes to uh any kind of PvP game, like I can chat. We're going to get this started in a second. Like I'm still processing Dusk Bloods. Like Miyazaki is about to put out a network test for Dusk Bloods in the near future. And the trailer that they used to show it showed nothing. It showed nothing. They waiting over a year since its announcement and they showed us nothing. And it's like, oh, just like one shot, that's all we get. Normally, you'd be pissed at that where it's like, dude, why is this so short? Why is this so lame? However, From Soft holding their multiplayer game close to their chest and being like, "You're going to get our game in the near future in a in a test. We're not telling you anything else. You got to go in blind." That is going to be incredible. It's going It's I I It's was one of my favorite things. This is going to be one of my favorite things. No clue what we're getting into. Everybody wants to play it. Everyone's just going to be dropping down at Turkey Town with no idea what's happening. Really frustrating though. No, no guides. Nobody knows dick. It's magical. Like that's the that's the [ __ ] that I love. I love that. I love everybody coming up with solutions on their own. Nobody Nobody has YouTube videos to back them up. I love that [ __ ] I really hope that's what they're doing. I really I really hope that's what they're doing, dude. There's no meta like until a few days like this will go away quickly. This will go away very fast, right? There will be a few days where the internet will eventually ruin the magic of this. But in that time span, oh boy, like it's going to I I so look forward to it, dude. It's going to be wonderful. It's going to be wonderful. I feel this exact same way about fighting games, dude. It's just awesome to have those moments and that experience of figuring that [ __ ] out. Um, anyway, we're going to play some 2x KO tonight. I I do want to check out Thresh. I want to check out Sen. I want to see how they play. Thresh probably first. Um, and I got to get back and relearn the control scheme of 2X KO. Uh, but first, I had this sponsor lined up for quite some time. And, um, this isn't a huge a huge development team, but they got a cool game on here called Lost Castle 2, and we've played some similar stuff like this chat. Uh they were kind enough to sponsor the stream and this is a rog light beat him up that is entering 1.0 in a couple of days. Let me make sure I get all this stuff right. Uh hold up, hold up, hold up. Uh it is entering 1.0 on June 12th, Lost Castle 2 actual 1.0. Um the game as exit Steam early access and at that time from June 12th around 1:00 a.m. Beijing, Taipei, Singapore is what they say, there's a twoe discount for 30% off. So, uh, yeah, that stuff sounds fun. And we've already played a couple of games that are kind of like this and are doing some cool stuff with it. Um, yeah, there's a bunch of things in here. A huge amount of additions, hidden bosses, new difficulties. Uh, it's a multiplayer game as well. So, yeah, we're just going to kind of jump in, give it a shot, see what it's like for a couple of hours, and, uh, you know, see what goes on. So, big shout outs to Lost Castle 2 for sponsoring the stream. Exclamation point. Lost Castle 2. There's a link if you guys want to learn more about the game. Uh let me go ahead and click play and get this thing started. A lot of beat him ups have been fun lately. They're trying different things, right? That's what's kind of cool. Oh, this game has an interesting story as well. Um note on the studio. This is made by um a few folks at a at a studio called Hunter Studio. Started off as three friends in university in 2015. Um, the first game hit a million units and the sequel is already over like 700,000 in early access. So, yeah, like small team with an idea trying to do this stuff. Been in development for a little while and this is the the sequel to it. So, good for them. Very cool. That's the dream. I mean, that is the dream. Jeez, there's a lot of these. See if there's anything I can change. Uh, graphics windowed vsync path of vsync. Interesting. If any of you guys also um have the Oh, you know what? I don't know if I can go online with anybody right now because we're in technically the beta. Let's just start and find out. I'm going to click some buttons. I got pitched this months ago and I'm like, that sounds really cute. It sounds fun. I want to give it a shot. So, I I know very little outside it is uh about to enter 1.0. It's viable right now. Well, there you go. Please follow the link if you want to learn more about it. I mean, my face is way too big. Hey, lad. You've heard of the ethereal, haven't you? Those elusive, enigmatic fellows. Wherever they tread, wondrous treasures always seem to Today, I got wind of some intel from a few old guild mates of mine. It's the Athereal right around a lost castle on the border of reality. I'll try to fix the audio, chat. Hold on. But as most of you surely know, the borders of reality RPG technically a rogike beat up creatures peril at every turn. The black forest tainted by evil will attempt to attack any intruders. A village is found there. However, the villagers seem to have intensely terrified them. Ah, thank the famed border mountains of history, the layer of dragons. Danger at every step. But we don't tolerate cowards here. No danger is too great for us. After all, we treasure hunters. Answer the call of treasures and adventures. If it if there is an opportunity for us to do co-op or multiplayer co-op, then we definitely should. A lot of it is designed around that. Um, all right. Beard. Yes. Yes. Uh, beard color. Yes. Beard style. Yes. face. dude, this one. Goddamn clown nose. The cat mouth. What the hell? I'm a I'm a lizard. Uh, I'm working here. Hold on a second. That's me. Thick ass eyebrows. Uh, I'm just going to recreate myself. That's what's happening right here, right now. Okay, wait for it. Head. Wow. I'm definitely taking my sweet ass time. Yep, that's the one. Oh, locked. Oh, no. Have to unlock these. Damn the Sher. This one keeps making me laugh. The Virgil cornrows. I'm motivated. Okay. Okay. Damn. I'm just going in on this Decoration. Uh, you have tails. You can have a tail. You, Chad, not me. Transmog armor. Really? Nothing yet. Okay. But you can do that later. Think I'm a girl. No. No. I think it's just anything, right? Appearance presets. No, I can't even go back. Cancel. Um, I have a tail IRL. Yes, I do have a tail IRL. Uh, there was a cloud hairstyle. There indeed was the random function in this game was fun. Oh yes, perfect. I need the dark eye circles, the laugh lines. Thank you very much. How do I change the outfit? No. There we go. I mean, I look I mean it's very pretty. Okay. Do we change the outfit? You get your gear in a run. All right. Depressed. What do you think? Look at me. I'm up until 3:00 a.m. every day. That's me. All right. He's so sad. Hi, Nico. Hope your uh flight was good. Venture and Treasure, give me things. So, the art style of this, I got to throw it back to an older game that I played quite a bit of. Um, the art style of this reminds me a lot of old school Castle Crashers, and I like I'm like, "Oh, okay. All right. This is definitely cute. Where are you? Castle Crashers was one of the first like goated indie games, you know. Engage. Streamer eyes has me dying. Shut up. Ooh, very responsive. Okay. Special action. Oh, what was that? Why? Oh, okay. So, there's parries. Cute. Um, LB to trink recover HP. Drank. Is this the new gauntlet? Oh god, I'm an idiot. Don't worry about it. Oh. I mean, I pretty much am a paladin right now. All right. All right. I sound like Captain America. Now, let's see how the game um evolves. Like when you get gear and rewards and stuff, how does it progress forward? So, we got stuff Enter the area to an elite monster area. I'm just taking it as we go. Uh, now we get gear. Max HP 96, heavy armor. Um, you get rune quake, auto ranged attack, rune slash, rune bullets. Okay, very basic magic MP stuff. I'm going with uh the beef lord related to strength and destruction. The treasures in the ethereal treasure are marked with these kind of runes. Power of these runes. Ahill runes increase our crit rate. When the acculation of this reaches 10, we can cast a rune slash. Rune slash is attacked with the uh this kind of power. Putting on the rune number before 10, we can trigger rune slash through the direct attack on enemies. Okay, so it's uh it's buildup damage over time or it's sorry, it's a buildup um if you don't get hit. Oh, I can switch back to my old stuff. How funny. Changes my whole look. I pick you up. Ah, when they're stunned. Quiet you. Oh my god. Wait. That's funny. Um, continuous attacks to trigger rune slash, right? Choose a treasure. Oh, is it just random? I think it is. We have No, we have to pick. When an attack hits an enemy, it triggers lightning. Crit rate increase by 10%. I should probably stay focused on what I'm doing right now. Okay. Three things. It's working out. Yoink. I'll take that. Can I dodge? Dope. Run so fast. Already found a treasure. All right, let's keep moving forward. I'm I'm holding on to this. I can't dodge with it. Foolish. Uh, did I miss anything? Probably not. I think we're fine. Well, that guy's big. Ghost of the night. Translation error. Oh my god. Oh my god. My god. Ah. Ouch. Drink you fool. Drink it. Ow. Getting out of here. Drinking. I'm all out. What's my dodge? There we go. I'm being resourceful. Come here, you son of a [ __ ] Okay, there we go. But I won though. No prean death. No. No. Did I Did I Did I screw up? Damn. Did I screw up? Returnal death. No story related death. You're awake, treasure hunter. Welcome to the border camp. Camp admin. Ravia.

But I also don't know why your companions captured me and locked me up. They ask a lot of questions and honestly I have nothing to hide. So I told them everything I know. Is there any information you like to know? Um. Oh, you can make it. Is this area currently very dangerous? How long have we been in this world? Our kind tends to stay in the mortal realm for extended periods. I vaguely remember that before I was captured, our collective consciousness agreeing that we needed to gather a large number of soul crystals. What? Refreshing to think freely. Why exactly have we been staying in this world for so long to collect soul crystals? Who's making us do this? All right. All right. I think I'm going to click the multiplayer button. Chat, is this a Yoshi? Of course. Of course. I don't want to throw him. I don't want to throw him. And look at this huge ass one. Whoa. Cool. Cute. Uh, mad alchemist alche chemical madman. Marquian. You've heard of me? Well, just know that the potion bottle is in your hands. Yes, that elixir. It's one of my finest creations. The boss said that this area has seen a surprising influx of etherealss. And hearing such extraordinary news, I've decided to tag along. Even within the realm of alchemy, research into etherealss is truly exhilarating. You come across anything out of the ordinary, especially uh concerning them, bring it to me. Okay. Uh okay. Cute. Multiplayer time. Oh, who does this chick? Enthusiast half elvin. She's the blacksmith. Gotcha. Uh, Nadia, as you can see, I'm the camp blacksmith.

Enter the camp. Grant me power. Seek the truth. Uh, can I? I've already finished that. Okay, cool. Many things you can do along the way. Target practice. This really reminds me of old school Castle Crashers right here. Uh, all right. I'm clicking this button. I want to see what happens. Enable multiplayer mode. create a room. Public ally knockback random level patterns. Tight coordination. Very tight. difficulty cannot be adjusted yet. Okay. Uh let's see. I want to see if this actually does anything. I want to see if there's even any way that this is engaged and enabled. Um I'm going to play with all the Billy Billy viewers. I wonder I wonder if this is engaged or enabled with anybody online right now. I don't know. RBX is defensive attack. Oh, wow. You can hold block and also attack. Huh. Funny. Lobby code. Yeah, it's right there. I mean, current servers in China. Server is overseas. Yeah, I found out chat. I got actually told by some um cuz there's so many Chinese devs now, right? And they all like really know me, which is like like how? Hey, somebody's in here. Hello. Um I'm like how? And apparently they're like you're all over Billy Billy. And I'm like what? Okay, let's go. Me and you. Yes. Let's go. I'm communicating chat. There's another one. Here we go. Yeah. Nihow. Do we have three or four? We have four. There's a mage. I don't even see how you get a mage class. Uh anyway, what what I learned was that apparently um I have an interesting audience on Billy Billy and it's folks that have taken like YouTube videos that I've made and translated them into like Mandarin and stuff and and yeah, I had no idea. And I they show it to me and they're like hundreds of thousands of views on these videos and stuff like that. And I'm like, what? That's crazy. We can get going. We can go with three. I'm down. Yeah, they dub. They dub it. Um 465 ping. It's fine. It's literally fine. Oh, we lost that dude. This guy's at 999 ping. That's not good. I don't know if he's here anymore. I do not know if he's here anymore. Change the server. Uh, let me check. Yeah, it's their Chinese version of YouTube. That's exactly what it is. Um, let me do this. Hold on. Online rim code. Select server North America. Let's go with that. Let's go with Let's see. Let's go with the English speakers. feel like it's my FF11 days all over again. I can't let them know I'm a foreigner.
