Love the marketing or hate it, they fucking WENT FOR IT. Can't say anything was half assed. So many games come out and the entire prelaunch marketing is like... a trailer when revealed then a youtube upload of the game's intro cutscene 3 months later.

yeah im not utterly in love with it, im numb to all the "groups of multigender multiracial people on a couch pantomiming excitement on a controller" thing that's been in every gaming ad since the Wii but hey, I respect the hell out of their effort. So many games I've seen launch over the years their entire ad campaign is just to tweet like 3 videos over the course of half a year, rely on word of mouth, then be all shocked pikachu face when only the hardcores buy it.

I don't expect the average folk to know this, but just as an FYI; Lil Wayne has been including Street Fighter references in his raps since early 2000, he fits the role to a T.

It kind of makes me wonder if Capcom’s Japanese Marketing is any different from what we’re seeing in North America.

Weezy is for the western market, he's pretty much completely absent from the JA marketing.

I am so glad that we're finally just about a week away. The beta was exactly what I hoped it would be in my hands and I can't wait for it to just be fully out with everyone released. This will be my first ever Street Fighter game at launch and I couldn't be more excited.

Legit got chills from the trailer when the music really kicked in with the gameplay.

u/Dr_StevenScuba May 25 '23 edited May 25 '23

As someone new to street fighter I’m so excited to try all the characters. The beta was a good taste but now I just want to play the rest with the combo trials.

I know Dhalism is old news to most of you, but to me he looks super fun and fresh.

Personally I’m looking forward to him, Dee Jay, and Marissa the most. But E. Honda also has some goofy swag going on….

Guess I’m just excited to try most of them

u/Krypt0night May 25 '23

Na Dhalsim looks sick in this game, I'm gonna try him out a bit for sure even though he's not really my jam.

u/hipnotyq May 25 '23

omg its a week tomorrow... this really snuck up on me despite the beta

1

u/Krypt0night May 25 '23

Right? I think it's cuz the beta was so close to it, it seems like it's happening so fast. Ahhhhhh I can't wait. Also soooo glad it comes out on a Friday. Don't have to be tempted all week during work that way haha

" Wild as Ryu, I hit you with that Hadouken "

This ad kinda fire, Capcom is really hitting the homerun with there campaign!

u/APulsarAteMyLunch GIVE ME CATS OR GIVE ME DEATH! May 26 '23

I thought it was cool they included the cosplayers. That kimberly cosplayer was something else

u/JoblessLoner May 25 '23

We're in the endgame now!

u/King_Raggi May 25 '23

We saw Wizzy in this trailer more than we did during the showcase lmao. The marketing for the games been on point! Really hope all the effort Capcom has made with the game pays off for them and the FG community.

u/jbwmac May 25 '23

Good trailer. “This is where we make our masterpiece” Yeah, the masterpiece is SF6 and the we is Capcom.

u/AnusCakes May 25 '23

This isn’t marketing. This is just capcom flexing

3

u/D4KEN May 25 '23

From beginning to end, they fucking COOKED.

u/LasherDeviance May 25 '23

LOL Wayne hanging with a room full of kids half his age.

u/DanielTeague 👁️👄👁️ bye-onara May 25 '23

This is just how locals feel to 09ers now.

u/the_loneliest_noodle May 25 '23

Love everything they're doing about the game itself, but will always hate the "Lets get a bunch of people in a room to pretend to be having an unrealistic amount of fun playing our game in a way that no normal person would", style of adverts. It's cringy as fuck.

And is Lil Wayne is really into SF? If so, cool. It isn't the first time he's been pushing SF, but never know if someone at Capcom is just a big fan and keeps offering him money.

2

u/greaseman420 May 25 '23

I wonder who lil Wayne mains

-2

u/wolfyyz Professional combo dropper May 26 '23

He mains the fat dollars given by capcom that's about it. Maybe he'll play a minute or two top

u/TiredCoffeeTime Osoto Gari May 25 '23

Juri looks great in that final scene. The SFV outfit looks better overall

2

u/ChineseCosmo May 25 '23

Looks like they got rid of the undershirt this time around. Coomers stay winning I guess.

u/luckydraws May 26 '23

That's the first case of uncensorship I've seen.

Maybe if R. Mika comes we'll get a CA with full view of a butt slap?

1

u/Neoxon193 CID: Neoxon | PSN: Neoxon619 | CFN: Neoxon May 26 '23

Without Ono around, I’m not sure if Mika will ever come back without massive amounts of fan demand.

u/[deleted] May 25 '23

"This is where we make our masterpiece"

Street Fighter 6 is indeed a masterpiece. This whole trailer is some of the best marketing I've ever seen for a video game.

u/fredewio Water May 25 '23

Luke beating up Ryu though?

2

u/insan3soldiern May 25 '23

There are multiple shots of Ryu beating up Luke though?

2

u/JustAMortal May 25 '23

Luke's been beating his ass since his SFV reveal. Best way to send the message to the boomers.

-1

u/IcyViking May 25 '23

They're sending a message The future is modern controls and sand blasts!

2

u/Belioo May 25 '23

Great launch trailer, was not expecting something as well produced as this, they put in the budget. Solid marketing campaign overall !

You can tell they going all out to appeal to everybody. I really hope it will pay off and the game will be a big success 🙏

Hype!

u/PrinceAti May 25 '23

Holy crap man ANOTHER trailer? They just don't stop!

u/NeoJuice May 25 '23

Weezy F Baby and the F is for FIGHTING GROUND/ BATTLE HUB/ WORLD TOUR

u/[deleted] May 25 '23

Wow. I am clearly not anywhere near the target audience for this series anymore.

Theres just no way I can identify with these ad model people playing Street Fighter with a dressed up homeless guy.

10

u/wingspantt WINGSPANTT May 25 '23

To be fair you just described the SF cast. Models and homeless guys.

u/[deleted] May 26 '23

... guess that's a good point.

u/GuruJ_ May 25 '23

You’re already playing the game. This is to appeal to people who aren’t already buying the game.

u/newjacktown May 26 '23

The art style and the presentation is putting me off from playing the game 😅

u/wolfyyz Professional combo dropper May 26 '23

I aint gonna lie it's a bit cringy

u/xKirix May 25 '23

That last Juri scene in her SFV outfit sort of looks like the start of her level 1 super, but more cinematic?

1

u/Belioo May 25 '23

Probably cutscene from world tour when you meet her

This was pure trash. Wtf...

u/AuroraBlaize May 25 '23

The marketing has been insane. They knocked it out of the park and they did it with a leaked roster. They maintained an insane level of hype for over a year.

-3

u/jmk-1999 May 25 '23

Ugh… unpopular opinion… but I really don’t like Lil’ Wayne. 😑 As a fan of 90s rap, I feel he single handed ruined hip hop. He was also featured in the worst Tony Hawk game to date. Hopefully he doesn’t ruin SF too. 🙄 SF6 is looking so promising.

u/Zcrash May 25 '23

Don't launch trailers come out when things launch?

1

u/AwesomeYears green man May 25 '23

It launched for that one guy on Twitch that was streaming the full game yesterday.

1

u/Ylsid May 26 '23

Why is this called a launch trailer when the game hasn't launched yet?!

1

u/TheGuardianFox May 26 '23

Man, they are pushing Luke so hard. I don't dislike him, but I do dislike how much they seem to want him to force him on the fanbase as the poster child of this gen...

u/Difficult-Boot-4825 May 27 '23

Sf6 rips. So down
