Zeku revealed for Street Fighter V!
- Thread starter Ryce
- Start date
makes sense though
must have felt bad after training guy and taking a look at the landscape like "literally every ninja in this universe is so fucking wack including me"
only a man burdened by the weight of that realization could go on create a clan of ninjas as cool as striders
More like why do Overwatch characters look like Capcom characters, and the answer is Arnold Tsang.

In what ways?
Guy is one of my favorite Street Fighter characters.
Top 5, easy.
I was not expecting Zeku to be doper than Guy, because whats doper than a ninja in some Nike Dunks?
Pimped out Ras al Ghul OG Striders, thats what.
Probably because Overwatch has a Westernized anime aesthetic, which is an aesthetic that Street Fighter helped pioneer.

Same. I adore the new characters with "deep" SF ties: Laura, Kolin, Ed, Menat, Abigail, and now Zeku.
Ibuki's pretty cool, but he probably a baby or some shit when he finished training guy. Wait wait, Is maki a ninja? Maki is cool. So that's like two. I hate vega so its still two, if you like vega feel free to add him to the list, but yeah the other sf ninjas are wack
In video games at least
Yep yep, and you will only see more of it considering that both east and west are getting hella liberal with their influences over the past... almost decade to the degree in which they are just strait up animating for eachother. They were before, but now much more liberally. The sharing of art and culture is a fantastic thing
Cliffy B dissagree's though
To be fair to who?
Ceallach
Smells like fresh rosebuds
Lmao. Typo, meant tbh.
No argument there
There's nothing westernized about Street Fighter, and all the SF designs were just lifted from other Japanese properties, most notably Hokuto no Ken and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
The closest is Deejay because he was designed by James Goddard.
And this is your answer right here. For people who don't know, prior to working on Overwatch, Arnold Tsang was an illustrator at Udon. Udon makes comics for Capcom USA and they've contributed art to Capcom games since Capcom Fighting Evolution.
You're right. Honestly, this is a terrible character design, Capcom's design team gets worse with each 3d iteration of the series.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Well, that actually does make a lot of sense, then.
I legit forgot about arnold.
But ehhhhhh, I have no idea about that there's actually a lot of western inspired shit in Street fighter. In each iteration. From being inspired by actual practitioners of martial arts, to being inspired by western comic book heroes. While jojo and Fist of the north star are inspirations, to say there is nothing western about street fighter is to ignore large portions of the cast.
Like yeah. Its not call of duty or some shit, but like tekken its inspiration and where it draws from comes from all across the globe.
Oh thank god, the trailer theme is actually Zekus theme.
Ken and Ryu fight with a Philly Shell boxing stance. Balrog is Mike fucking Tyson. SF1 and the beatem ups of the time (Renegade, Double Dragon) were basically Japanese riffs on The Warriors and Western street culture:
But aint nothing westernized about Street Fighter.
Zekus English voice actor is David Wald, who you may know as Hannes from Attack on Titan & Tetsutetsu from My Hero Academia.
So Zeku is a stance character.

Wait, did Philly Shell create the crab defense first?
edit: nvm, was a repost of a JP site vid.CA in his old form is basically the same. Also his V-trigger is 2 gauge
Also is this first time seeing AE's new interface in motion? The KO font got flashier I guess lol
Zeku can use a special or a V-Skill to transform- which is another indication that multiple V-Skills are coming.
Different names for the same thing. George Benton is the fighter most often credited with popularizing that style of defense.

I'm assuming "old habits" means mutton chops.
Also can you transform back to old from young?

Zeku transforms with down down punch. His vskill is different in each form. Technically I guess with Zeku the game already has multiple vskills. It'd be funny if this is what Xkira "saw."

Yes. Just input dd + 2p or v-skill again.
Furthest ranging one seems to have the most startup. There are shorter horizontal versions of it & the knock-up those shorter ones provide can be combo'd afterwards.

What's his V-skill then?

Why doesnt his younger form have sideburns in his story costume like in the story mode artwork??
Also I need some shirtless Zeku ASAP.

He can do either - https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/promotion/zku
Having redundancy here is unusual unless he's able to remove that V-Skill.
Maybe its just because the v-skill allows him to safely combo into his transformation whereas the command does not.

The v-skill version also states "(CHANGE PROPERTIES WITH THE DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS ON HIT)" whatever that means
Not sure if posted yet, but his v-skill is his transformation:

Ah so he's like Gen with two separate movesets. I've never fared well with such characters, but it probably can't be worse than using Menat with a pad. Well, not unless he can switch stances mid-combo to optimize damage (doesn't appear that's possible).
It'd be cool if someone makes a PC mod where he keeps the same look between stances (assuming the idle stance is unique so you know which is which). I really like his default look, but could see myself using that Hiryu-ish battle costume on occasion.
