Companionship in Street Fighter

The most interesting concept in Street Fighter 6 that I really liked was companionship. Every character is connected in one way or another, and most are symbolic of Ken and Ryu's relationship over the years.

Ken and Ryu were always the faces of Street Fighter since the beginning and their friendship/rivalry was something capcom really took into consideration when pushing SF6 out. Ken, Chun-li, and Ryu are getting older but they have a lasting impact on Capcom as a whole.

SF6 now has a roster of fighters that are connected to each other from old to new relationships.

Kimberly and Dee Jay, Marisa and Zangief, Blanka and Lily, Chun-li and Li-fen etc.

Even the Player has a rival/friendship with someone in the Street Fighter Universe.

Although Bosch seems like a character that gets sidelined within the first hour of the game, I do think that Bosch and the Player do have a significant connection.

When talking to our Masters, I find it interesting how often Bosch comes up in conversation.

Granted Player is the one bringing him up, but I found this interaction with Dhalsim fascinating.

Dhalsim: Create a fist within your heart.

Dhalsim: Good. Allow me to pose a question to you. What lies beyond that fist?

Dhalsim: I see. This is your friend...or perhaps a mortal foe?

Dhalsim: Forget what you saw.

Dhalsim: You wish to transcend the shadow, yet it remains inextricably linked to you.

Dhalsim: it is up to you to interpret its significance.

The Player brings up Bosch a lot in conversations that aren't about him, and it's got me thinking, does Bosch even care about the Player to that extent too?

We never see his perspective throughout the story so we could only assume as much.

He trusted the Player enough to give them a SIM card before he was taken. Maybe to tell them, "If anything happened to me, this is how you can find Kalima and the Resistance."

And he tried many times to scare the Player off so they wouldn't enter the Suval'hal tournament. Where he would've activated the championship belt to kill himself and JP.

But when the Player found out Cardboard combatant was him all along, he said "If you've come this far, I want you to watch me finish this fight." The fight between the Resistance and JP.

Bosch even asked the Player if you can give Yua his bangle and tell her that he's dead, he says "You're the only one I can count on."

Bosch also chose to go to the Player when his body was reaching its limit as a warning if things go south. That he may not recognize them in the arena.

And at the end of the post-credit cutscene, Bosch is wearing the matching hat that he and you got when visiting Metro City.

In the end, Bosch's hair is shaved so I can assume it's to keep people from recognizing him and a low profile.

In fiction, it could symbolize character growth and a break from the past. But paired with his matching hat, which he mentioned was cringy, he is still linked to you, the Player. Just as Dhalsim said.

Side note on what Ken says about Ryu:

Hey hey, hope you're well! Was wondering if I could get some sf Ryu headcanons? Nsfw or just general fluffy relationship hcs, doesn't matter. I just don't see much content for my man and I miss him TT

-Ryu will train a lot. Like, a a lot lot. He will ask you to train with him. If, you agreed to train with him, he would go easy on you. Showing you some basic moves, practicing stands and so on. If, you would prefer to watch him train, he would be fine with it. He would be showing off to you, as you watch him train.

-Ryu will often talk about how, he doesn't feel like he isn't good enough. Both with his skills and his personality. In, these times he needs someone to remind him, he is just fine as he is. Hugs and words of comfort is the way to comfort him.

-Ryu loves sweets, especially Japanese ones. He doesn't showcase this publicly as he tries to seem strong to others. But, he will melt when you bring him sweets. He will share them with you, with red on his cheeks.

-You and Ryu talk a lot about travelling, and going to different places. But, you often time find yourself just talking about it. You two try to make plans for travelling, but end up ordering that nation's food.

-Ryu doesn't like spiders or insects in general. So, if he finds any he will smack at them at full force. This often leads to holes in walls and on tables. He tries to play it off, as if nothing had happened. But, when you hear a loud crash in the apartment, you're certain he has gotten another bug. And, made a new hole.

To get myself to draw different characters, I've decided it's "Retrovember" and I will attempt to draw characters from retro videogames. This definitely won't be daily, but hopefully it'll help with artistic growth and motivation to draw someone that isn't blorbo.

Used a sprite sheet as reference

Sorry for not updating more often everyone.

My house just got a new dog, and I have to watch her until someone comes home to take over. I do see you all in my inbox, so please don’t think I forgot about you.

Also as a life update, I got into my dream school! yippee!🥳 I’m studying to be a Radiology tech, and I start June 1st. I’m going to be doing this for 2 years straight with little to no breaks, so I probably won’t have any time to write for the Street Fighter 6 fandom like I used to.

So for anyone who wants to request anything for SF6, go crazy in my inbox. I’ll answer all of them the best I can until May 31st.

But after that, I will be on Hiatus for 2 years until my program is over. Boo. I’ll still reblog sf6 content on here but I won’t be as active.

Hopefully you all understand.

NOW request what you want ppl. My restriction is don’t request characters outside of SF6 that haven’t been properly introduced yet. Because it takes more time for me to research characters than it does to write them.

Characters I wouldn’t write for:

E. Honda

M. Bison

Dhalsim

Zangief

Akuma

These characters are hard for me to write fanfics for, so please refrain from requesting them.

ps this is the little rascal keeping me up at night. Her name is Sasha.

After he's done with the mochi, Ryu is more than happy to pound something else for you 😏
