So vskill changes him between old and young, and they each have different normals/throws/specials.

That's fucking sick. Also very Gen like.

 

[kikiribu]

Using his V-Skill, and the special move Shukumyo,
Zeku can change between his old and young versions.
Old and Young Zeku have completely different normal moves,
throws, and special moves. Together with the change in appearance,
they are totally different characters.
Pick the fighting style that best suits the situation to take control of the fight.

[kirblar]

Movelists for both versions. https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/character/zku/movelist

If it wasn't obvious, RIP Guy's chances of getting in, Young Zeku has all those target combos and the walljump.

 

[Rickenslacker]

With the 70s/Lupin feel people get out of Zeku and his theme, it makes me want a Cutie Honey character in the game.

 

[VariantX]

How far in the future is Strider set? It’s not present day, right?

They don’t have to retcon anything if so. Zeku could be the creator of this new style, which is a bridge between Bushinryu and whatever the Striders practice. Kuramoto could be a protege he takes on in the future. Kuramoto goes on to become a master of Zeku’s style and creates the Strider organization.

Apparently multiple thousands of years between the games. Apparently Hiryu gets reincarnated again and kills Meio every so often. At least that's what I've gathered from bits of story from strider games and a few lines from MvC:I. It could happen at any point in the future really.

For those who can’t see the link, Zeku is voiced in English by David Wald, who you may know as Hannes from Attack on Titan & Tetsutetsu from My Hero Academia.

 

[Moaradin]

Who's his Japanese VO

 

[Village]

I need to know if you can start the match as YUNG zeku
Because I just wanna use, YUNG zeku

This is mui importante

With the 70s/Lupin feel people get out of Zeku and his theme, it makes me want a Cutie Honey character in the game.

I read "as something different at first and I was like " I see your avatar but you gonna have to wait for the animal costumes my guy "

 

[kirblar]

edit: apparently from the JP website.

 

[VariantX]

Bushin Gram huh. That is literally out of hiryu's move list but done with his legs instead of a plasma sword

Zeku is a fucking proto-strider confirmed.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Also we get another look at SFVAE's UI in action.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Fuck all of this is perfect.

He's a Strider
He has TWO fucking characters in one (TWO MOTHER FUCKER)
He's not a charge boy
Guy's TCs

Fuck man don't even with me right now.

 

[JusDoIt]

Fuck all of this is perfect.

He's a Strider

Guy's TCs

Fuck man don't even with me right now.

I’ll never doubt Matt Edwards after this.

 

[Neoxon]

Who's his Japanese VO

Nobuo Tobita, who you may recognize as Straizo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure & Meleoron from Hunter x Hunter.

 

[jett]

Two characters for the price of one.

This a bit of a crazy creation.

 

[Pompadour]

Fuck all of this is perfect.

He's a Strider

Guy's TCs

Fuck man don't even with me right now.

He is the best character introduced in SF in a long ass time.

 

[kikiribu]

Gold KO flash is pretty sexy

 

[Blueblur1]

That flourish right before the “K.O.” surprised me. While most of the UI is just colored differently at least they’re doing stuff like that so it’ll be easy for stream viewers to catch that it’s an updated version of the game.

 

[Foxhound286]

Man, I'm loving everything about Zeku so far. Easily my favorite new character. This season's character have all been great in my opinion. Also really like the new KO flash.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Gold KO flash is pretty sexy

2 golden letters

 

[Village]

I dunno

Ed Menat and Zeku for me have all been super cool for me

 

[kikiribu]

2 golden letters

There's something before the letters

 

[IntelliHeath]

Ono teased about this stage?

I'm totally open for a Modern Japan stage which would actually awesome.

 

[Blueblur1]

I doubt it. I don’t think Ono would bother teasing a stage much less a new one over an old one. X-Kira is definitely reaching with that one.

If Ono is teasing anything it’s gonna be that new shirt which will probably be sold in Japan.

 

[DR2K]

I always forget Juri is in this game

Hopefully her next vskill is her dive kick

 

[Mizerman]

Right? Didn't expect that outcome.

After activation, Zeku can use Idaten, a special forward dash. During the dash, Zeku can chain his normal moves together in ascending strength.

Chain combos. Mm-hm.

 

[killu4what]

Rose
Gill
Sagat
Fei Long
C.Viper
Oro




-Only invincible reversals are CC-able
-Add continues and DLC fighters to survival
-new taunts/ winposes(fight money)
-unique rival intros
-mostly buffs to lower tiers (Specifically buffing V-Triggers for multiple characters: Vega, Ryu, Fang)
-effectively erase laura from game by making her mk -3 with no pushback)

 

[Blueblur1]

Chain combos. Mm-hm.

What if they gave everyone chain combos in Season 3 👀

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

They knocked it out of the park with this character. Like, god damn.
Definitely worth the wait.

over an old one? I'm not sure what you meant by that.

 

[MCD250]

Ehhhhh, I'd rather they left them in the Alpha series tbh. Having a character who is (indirectly) related to that series make use of them is enough.

 

[IntelliHeath]

.

Do anyone have full picture of Season Pass 2016 just like this?

 

[Blueblur1]

over an old one? I'm not sure what you meant by that.

I would think if Ono were to tease a stage he would tease a returning stage and not a new stage, in my opinion. For example, it would make sense for him to tease Sagat’s SFII stage on a shirt.

I think the shirt he was wearing has nothing to do with Menat appearing in Shibuya in the AE trailer.

 

[SAB CA]

Does that power instinct character predate Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho?

Well, I doubt it, but lets see:

Power Instinct 1 Release Date: Nov. 1993
Yu Yu Hakushou Manga Original Run: Dec 3 1990 - July 25th 1994 (TV series 92 to 94)

I doubt Otane appeared first, but she very well could have been inspired by the rather new Genkai at the time.

At least Zeku doesn't have to kiss his opponent, like Otane did!

It's really something we don't see much in interactive games, and especially fighters. As mentioned earlier, though, I'd have loved for there to be a way to see the shift from aged to youth in detail, just because that's normally a focal point of such a thing when it happens in TV. Just like with this little jerk that was on Last night's Toonami Broadcast, coincidentally:

And then

There is a little something something

Heh, even better. It's street fighter tradition to base characters off SOMEONE in the world, and this... this I can deal with.

For those who can’t see the link, Zeku is voiced in English by David Wald, who you may know as Hannes from Attack on Titan & Tetsutetsu from My Hero Academia.

LoL, I love the fact he voiced Guin in Guin Saga, and Golgo in Golgo 13. Good, strong, traditionally manly men. A fitting voice for a old-world ninja. He doesn't seem to do much video game voice acting either, so this is a special GET.

 

[Blueblur1]

Do anyone have full picture of Season Pass 2016 just like this?

To my knowledge, Capcom didn’t release one. I looked around anyway and all I could find was this image from Capcom Cup where they confirmed the Season 1 DLC characters after their names were datamined.

I'm honestly surprised by half of the talent that SFV managed to get. As for David Wald, he isn't the first Funimation VA in SFV (that honor belongs to Ian Sinclair, who voices Rashid).

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

ZG is a teabagger? His constant posting of “bad experiences” with rage quitters finally makes sense now. Yikes

He probably doesn't always teabag. If people rage quit on him a lot it's because he's laggy.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Another one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8cuc--qH4E&feature=youtu.be

why do you still play this game

 

[Zombegoast]

Me Tbag? Hardly, only those who try to create lag like in the start of the round.

why do you still play this game

Because of the CPT challenge. But now it's done, fuck it. Going back to Usf4.

 

[Sayad]

Poison's 2:57 so I tossed it in, next longest is Gen...likely because he's Gen. Very curious what some of the non-obvious ones could be templates for.

Might be because he demonstrated the infinite. ;p

That Sakura one strongly hint at v-ism making a return as her VT!]

Me Tbag? Hardly, only those who try to create lag like in the start of the round.

How does one create lag without a lag switch and if he was lag switching why did he only used it once at the start of the round and not in critical situations?! 🤔

Admit it Zomb, you're the type of player who teabag an innocent Urien player.

 

[abstract alien]

God damn I can't stand chain combos. Hopefully there is a manual option that does more damage.

 

[Turbanator]

Just saw the Omega Guy vid. Zeku is definitely O.Guy split into two characters with more moves.

 

[SAB CA]

I'm honestly surprised by half of the talent that SFV managed to get. As for David Wald, he isn't the first Funimation VA in SFV (that honor belongs to Ian Sinclair, who voices Rashid).

Ian really is great in the role, too. I'm always expecting Kyle Hebert to make connecting with Funi actors and Okatron talent a fairly easy connection. But it is great to see a wide range of actors. It's not just the same you hear in every US game or such.

Definitely one of the things they do a solid job with on this game.

They even pulled from TeamFourStar (Marc Swint as Necalli) for SFV VAs. I wonder if they’ll get the likes of Takahata101, KaiserNeko, Lanipator, Megami33, & Justin Briner (all of them minus Megami33 also work at Funimation) for future newcomers. They could also pull from Persona 5’s VAs like they already have for Xander Mobus as Abigail & Erica Lindbeck as Menat.

As for Kyle Hebert, he still does stuff for Funimation on occasion, but he’s kinda both Funimation & LA, now.

 

[Syntsui]

Zeku will be a nightmare to learn, but I'm somehow excited. He can't possibly be harder to learn than Menat, maybe harder to master.

 

[Reani]

menat is different type of hard, she requires you to not make mistakes and play perfectly. so ye, you can definitely just mash with zeku and be fine

 

[kirblar]

Zeku is likely the biggest reason Ibuki lost her kicks.

(stealing image from Reddit)

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Zeku's theme includes the Strider theme.

Fuck.
