MAX REACTS: KEN IS BACK - Street Fighter 6 Trailer 

I guess some people find annoyance hilarious. Cause that's really all this dude is. He's like the reason people make fun of nerds who play fighting games.

@@JCSmooth Dont care + didnt ask + cry about it + stay mad + cope + seethe + mald + ur salty + ratio

@@JCSmooth Why did you even stick around to comment then? Besides, people being hyped for something they enjoy is a good thing. I think someone is jealous.

@@JCSmooth he wouldn't have 1.5 million subscribers if you're comment was true bruv

​@@JCSmooth and he got s wife. He got a kid. And he got bank making videos about fighting games

Terry to a depressed homeless Ken sitting down: "ARE YOU OKAY? HEY CMON CMON! STAND UP!" Ken: "Who the hell are you?" Terry: "BUSTER WOLF!"

Might be reaching here, but he also picks up the hardhat off the ground and throws it to the worker, just like Ken and Terry's CvS intro.

if you watched his fire uppercut, it had a downpunch in the end, did he just add the finish to Terry's power dunk?

It's not the only SNK reference, either. There was clearly a Tung Fu Rue create-a-character, as well as (I believe) a Blue Mary. Also a slightly toned-down Akuma, which makes me think he won't be on the roster.

Imagine making a Terry custom character and defeat Ken. The disrespect

Starting with Shenmue........a path without end......

They’re going down the Yakuza path

@@kiryukazuma7960 I mean if every genre just went down the Yakuza path I won't even be mad lol

@@battousaix4263 seriously, the map maybe small but damn are those games dense as hell. The amount of love put into mini games is insane.

Absolutely

I've been saying this for so long. Fighting games are stuck in the 90s Arcades mindset. It's so good to see this focus on content.

This is how you get a filthy casual single player gamer like me to get invested in your online content. Don't take options away, don't railroad all "single player" content into your online systems like every single sports game has, just give me a fun game that i can play on my own at my own pace and eventually I'll find my fighter and join some lobbies

My friends and I are buying it because of this - I know there's stuff I can have fun doing no matter what, so it doesn't feel like a risk buying it. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.

Yup the single player content is legit making me considering buying sf6 down the line after release just for that content lol. that part is super appealing to me

I just hope it doesn't fail though because it is too much into it

I still stand by soul calibur 3 being the best one because of how much extra content it had. This makes me want to get street fighter 6 after being ultra disappointed by tekken 7 supposedly having "great single player" (aka input reading bs AI in a story mode where you can't pick characters)

As someone who plays MK and sees those modes, I can fairly safely say that noone is going to actually play it.

Doesn't sound silly at all. Especially when you consider V's launch

@Baxi who cares about those bozos anyway, this looks like fun in more ways than one. We gonna have a blast boi!

I have to admit this is the first fighting game I've been excited about since marvel vs. Capcom 2

It’s funny, I instantly knew it was Ken at the start because of the voice, then cut to me finding out it’s a new VA?

@@Limit02 might be for continuity reasons. Having one guy voice multiple people in Marvel vs capcom ain’t authentic I guess.

WHAT? Reuben is out? Damn.

That's a lame plot NGL, I'd rather him be divorced or even widowed

Things change

Uhmmmm....have you seen SFV *lately?* o.o

I also still think Injustice 2 had more of that than MK9, respecfully. :)

@@mikejonesnoreally SFV did not even had an arcade mode at launch. Sure it has more these days, but it hundreds of miles away from what this SF6 trailer shows. He is talking about MK9 because it was the first one from NRS to help redefine fighting games and bring a new way to tell a story for the genre.

@@binho2224 i missed it because the story based stuff i was playing then was like Blazblue, Injustice and Persona and i also loved MvCU3 in spite of it's lack of story but still how did MK 9 tell it's story? How did it redefine Fighting Games? It still played like Mk right? (i loved how they put minigames in Injustice) What did i miss? o.o

@@mikejonesnoreally its like in Injustice and Injustice 2, but it was the first one to do the story mode that way. Blazblue had a fun Abyss mode tho

I worry though. It's a lot of different systems, and we see how games with fewer systems can have them be unbelievably broken (take SF5 for example). I wonder if they're trying to do too much or if SF5 brought in enough money for them to give all these different modes justice. I'm not totally optimistic after SF5, but everything they've shown, has looked good, and that's a good start.

@@blackmanwhitesuit SF6 feels like a complete game compare to how SF5 started. That's probably the positive outlook from seeing all these cool stuff they added to the new game. Not it can be in the same league as Tekken and Netherrealms games. Let's hope this turns out well.

@@blackmanwhitesuit Ono was producing SF5 and he had a lot of ideas from old school fighting games, very traditional. The problem with SF5 at launch was the lack of content and issues with netplay. I think SF6 will be fine I don't think there's ''too much'' right now we have as much content as an action adventure game, this is how it's supposed to be but we're so used to habing next to nothing that we're worried the game wot hold up. We're finally treated right and I trust the Capcom team on the content. Now we just have to cross our fingers for good netplay.

@@numa2k147 i thought Rollback had been announced? o.o

That's the thing, they look young.

and gameplay wise i can see it as a way to teach people their moves, and their playstyle, like introducing how grapplers, zoners, and rushdowns work and which characters are which

Literally Street Fighter: Deception lol

And the main OG cast are the masters

Such a cool idea!

@@archersterling6726 i wonder if it will be just Luke and Chunners though. New Masters would be an interesting take on DLC. "Okay so i guess imma' buy "Santo" so i can learn some Capoiera moves...." :3

Basically what games used to be before the season ticket subscription era.

Have you head of the game that just went free to play called GranBlue Fantasy Versus? True, you only get 12 fighters, but they're *free.* Anyway, it has a *very* complete and really unique (Unless you play GranBlue Fantasy where some of the mechanisms for crafting and weapon power ups are obviously taken from.) 1 player adventure mode. You might enjoy it! :D

​@@mikejonesnoreally No offence but you talk like a person paid to say that.

@@mikejonesnoreally wait, did it go free to play? I did not know that.

@@binho2224 Yes. You only get like 1/2 of the total roster but that's more than it had at Beta or Launch and so far they're all fun. It's got some interesting mechanisms as well such as cool downs for moves and extra inputs making moves more effective. The art is almost unbelievably good but it *does* come from a former Final Fantasy Designer. Made by Arksys. :D

Someone in this horrible world has to have an inner child.

5 was a mid life crisis

I thought the 5 look was really cool, it was just ruined by a bad model, but i still have to get used to the “divorced ken” look

@@jayceallen6530 hes not divorced, he was framed for a crime and is on the run. Still married. He's trying to clear his name so he can go home.

5 looked like it tried too hard to be cool.

According to what's been revealed Ken's not homeless or divorced his SF6 bio reveals that a villainous rival with a lot of political/financial pull managed to frame/accuse him of a crime he didn't commit so Ken went on the run and is now in hiding to keep Eliza, and Mel safe from whoever framed him. For the World Tour Master/Mentor Cutscene with him I hope this is brought up like for example my female CaC states if he brings it up. "I don't care about that I just want to learn from you so I can gain the strength to protect myself, my loved ones and friends from those who threaten them."

Then we have Overwatch 2 and Halo Infinite...

@@buggart As someone who is looking for a new main game after OW... Yeah, SF6 looks sick and Max's take is on point. Can't stress this enough how meaningful to me are the words "Go and have fun! That's what games are about".

@@hotafek Give GranBlue Fantasy Versus a look. It's free and even has an RPG 1 player mode. :)

I wish Woolie had this take - he seems to be against SF6 ever since the reveal of the casual control scheme. One would think that more people playing the game would be a good thing...

@@ShermTank7272 i totally agree with you and simply don't understand that take from other people, like how does other less skilled people being able to try and enjoy an online game affect you in any way other than being salty you lost to one of them? And if people like Woolie are as good as they think they are, they'll rank out of where 99% of modern control players will probably end up anyway since modern control players probably aren't going to dive into deeper mechanics/strategies, so what's the problem?

As a person in my 20s, I feel disappointed that I don't have this inner child react.

Shenmue. But is Shenmue a Fighting Game? o.O (it's first design docks called it "Virtua Fighter Adventure"

Question. How is that you've never played any of them?

THIS IS THE PROPER EVOLUTION OF STREET FIGHTER I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, I'M GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!!!!

Finally! Street Fighter is no longer an arcade-focused game! They're hopping into mainstream game design!!!

@@AtlasNYC_ I grew up with tekken. So that always stole my attention. But damn is SF6 looking good.

Missing out but i understand

Now I want a CGI Tommy Lee Jones chasing after him in the SF6 story 😆😆

Ken played by Billy Zabka. Cobra Kai forever!

Reminds me of Cody when he got locked up, but he’s a whole mayor now😂

@@Padlock_Steve Ok buddy your opinion

I dunno, I was starting to get used to the "RYU SHE TOOK THE KIDS" headcanon :D

Once again blur level = hype level

ACTIVATE *S P E E D F O R C E*

LETS F!!!ING GOO!!!!

I bet u were dying waiting to post this comment

Summer time

Reminds me of Terry's level 3 super in KOF 15. Lots of Terry comparisons with this iteration of Ken

Reminds me of Axel's Ground Upper from Streets of Rage 2-4.

Reminds me of Little Mac upsmash in Ultimate

Thought of Axel in Streets of Rage personally.

@@sorrenspall BUSTEEERRRR LAWWNNCHAA

Get to see them as Ken Masters

Yesss I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it and this trailer reminds me of the animated fatal fury movie where Terry kicks the steel beams to save the construction worker...

@@mrsupergt1 This trailer man… it has SOLIDIFIED and VALIDATED all of my hype For this game! I just hope I get to try out the closed beta

So much innovation. Loving it.

@@matthias4037 maybe it's like a tease sorta like a small taste for things to come....a hint if you will ....possibly a new CVS3 game?....maybe even a Capcom vs SNK collection....

True, Ken in my eyes nowadays it's Maximilian Dood but get pitched by Capcom as playable character and designed as Ryu Rival

The guy had a rough journey since SFV

It was already decided that he would win!

Specifically his win screen in SF3 new generation, when he stands over his defeated opponent.

"victory"

Same here; so nostalgic of New Generation and 2nd Impact for me.

*jam-packed (with gems!)

High key learned their lesson from sf5

what is “60/70$”

@@youngrizziepoppin9225 I agree! That's why we need to call them out for their bullshit. Now is time to show some support again in hope this sets a new standard for fighting games to come

Shinryūreppa “神龍裂破” 神 (Shin) means “God” 龍 (Ryū) means “Dragon” 裂 (Retsu) means “Rend” 破 (Pa) means “Blast” …According to the SF wiki

@@realchezboi Yeah, it's right!😄 The name of action is so cool meaning😆 I hadn't read English version wikipedia. So, I hadn't know that these explaining written in English version wikipedia😌 Thank you for telling it me😄

you call yourself a “protege”, Juri calls you a “slowly growing punching bag”

@@MrSkerpentine “ah yes. A fellow student in the art of simping”

Well that would mean most of the OG characters would be in the base game to be masters and the younger ones would be added as DLC.

I hope the new blank character thing isn't really that crucial to the story and its entirely separate to whatever the plot of SF6.

The leak roster list out couples of new characters still unannounced.

Good news, they've already shown off classic costumes for Ryu, Chun-Li and Guile, so Ken's sure to have one too!

@@N0mad493 That's great! I've only been casually following SF6 due to just being busy but it looks fantastic.

broke: Eliza took the kids woke: Ken is forced to abandon his family and business whilst trying to figure out and get revenge on the person who falsely accused him of organizing a crime

@@pottedplant37_ They didn't have to go so hard but I'm glad they did!

@@dillontyler3002 It's up on their official site!!

The rare moments where he just screams out of exitement is the cutest.

Im not a huge 2D-fighting game guy but his energy is unmatched and I love every video he does.

Dotodoya would like to have a word with you. Not joking, I swear that dude sounds hype even in boring moments.

I like Max and I respect his opinions a lot when it comes to fighting games, but I feel like his reactions have been a little over the top for the past year or so. Feels a little inauthentic at times. Contrast this to Aris reacting to the Tekken 8 trailer, that guy's a seasoned Tekken vet and he was completely honest with his take on it.

@@EDorb max(along with us) just got out of the worst decade for fighting games ever and this is the renaissance in motion, he is happy to be a fan and everyone else is too

Oh, that's 100% what it is, that plus the simplified controls. Honestly even with those, letting people just wrap a their heads around the basic gameplay of fighters in an environment where it's fun to screw around is huge. Want to play with someone who barely plays these games and know it'd be miserable for them? Wacky bullshit to the rescue. It's why Smash turned into a gigantic thing despite having no competitive support, so many people grew up with it that they wanted to keep playing and get more serious. It's what fighters have been missing for a looong time outside of NRS.

I don't think fighting games are hard to learn, what's hard is getting actually good And even then, people get the wrong idea. You don't need to be Daigo to have fun. I play a bunch and don't even bother doing combos. What matters is having an appealing, solid game with a lot of different things to do that are built on top of the basic fighting

We haven't actually seen any example of mixed movesets yet, to my knowledge. Hopefully we get a mix and match going on, but I think that's too early to call.

@@RadikAlice not hard but takes time, casual players dont want to put time into it.

@@RadikAlice It's easy to say that but a lot of casuals really have no clue how fighting games work. I tried teaching one of my friends how to play and I had to explain to them for like 30 minutes what a "cancel" is. They kept thinking it would cancel their attack, as opposed to it leading into a new one.

No

You already know Max loves his blondes😆😆😆

Will you seriously be able to go around the city in a beat'em-up mode a' la Final Fight? That would be a massive cherry on top. What a complete rethink of the industry's premiere fighting game. Just on what they're showing here, this game slaughters SF VI and V for content.

SF is one of my least favorite fighting games. The last I enjoyed was Alpha 3, but this is on another level. I'm buying for the content alone. This new World Tour mode is what I've being asking for so long.

WELCOME BACK

@@binho2224 Ah, Alpha 3, the perfect Street Fighter, ironically enough, the game I was talking about that preceded vanilla SF4 was Alpha Anthology, which to this day is my absolute favorite SF release.

And I bet the CAPCOM US people are going to send this reaction to the japan HQ

Same man, been crying laughing the whole video at his high voice

The new Fatal Fury game getting announced made him scream like that as well.

So fuccin happy can’t believe it took this long. Havent been since excited since SSF4!

Sf is not my favorite fighter, but this game man, this so much content is amazing!!! I was never hyped for a SF game neither, this is the first time. It seems they learned from the SF 5 terrible launch and lack of content.

@@binho2224 Yeah Capcom's efforts are really shining through. You can tell they're taking SF seriously but also are just having fun and being creative this time around.

@@Pancakegr8 Exactly, you said it well!! Let's hope for a great launch and a great game

Yep

Damn, glad he didn’t get that divorce though. Hope the story mode has him clearing his name

At least they're different from the rumor, which tells me that Ken didn't get thrown into the gutter and lost all his previous story buildup

Yeah, Eliza divorced him after he lost the last Street Fighter tournament and Ryu married Eliza, making Ryu Mel's step father, causing Ken to descend into a downward spiral that led to him joining M.Bison's organization. Sad.

He put all his money in crypto at it’s highest right? Thats gotta be the reason 😂

Watching all the extra stuff I was thinking it reminded me of old MK in the best ways. This game is looking like a must buy.

In deed, guys. But I think they are doing all this because of the atrocious SFV launch. Not even Arcade mode was there. Good to see they learned from this huge mistake. Thats why we need to address the shitty things they do, and praise the good ones.

@@binho2224 It is absolutely 100% because of the bare ones Street Fighter V launch; I'm glad they're taking this route.

@@Kenjionigod me too!! I never tought I would be hyped for a SF game.

i think they are just looking at what has been successful and worked for them before while still adding additional stuff to play with ideas! (which is all they were really doing with MvC2 and CVSNK2EO.) By MvC3U they had added the Heroes and Heralds mode, It's very weird to say this but it's as if they had no idea why we loved CAPCOM games so much! This gives me *so* much confidence in CAPCOM because that *was* the X-Factor. You could tell the people making this stuff were having a *blast!* Honest, i just wanna' send em' a Pizza and some Scooby Snacks and say Shine On Crazy CAPCOM! i hope the insanity continues! i hope that comedian from MvC2 kicks in Dizney's door douses everybody with a giant rubber chicken/squirt gun and screams "A billion bucks for anything that wears a cape losers!" xD

its so slow though....

That's clearly his perfect parry animation, not drive rush. It is, however, sick af.

@@budgiecat9039 it literally is a perfect parry. All perfect parries slow down the frames to give you time to react and go off of them. Its the literal point. Stop complaining

@@CameronKujo thanks I appreciate the kind breakdown of the mechanics explanation. Very informative. also . . . . . . . . . . SHUT UP!! lol

Yeah. i get that. Max: "imma' go through this Ken cut scene animation frame by frame......" Me: o.o "Oh for f...."

@@mikejonesnoreally XD I actually laughed out loud at this.

Funny you mention Terry cuz the way ken is introduced here is actually a direct reference to a scene from an old kof anime where Terry was working a job in construction The biggest difference though being that ken smacked a concrete mix bag whereas Terry smacked a bunch of I-beams

The two are practically kindred spirits, given that we know Garou 2 is a thing that is coming, we might see them straight reference this with Terry too

His level 3 is even a power dunk.

My head canon is ken was looking at a picture of garou Terry and was like “Man I wish I looked like that!” He then proceeds to go to an old navy and buys similar clothes

He's reacting exactly the way I'll react to Cammy.
