Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games is getting an Anime
7 months ago
General
can't remember the last time i was actually excited for an upcoming anime but i am definitely looking forward to this (and also realizing i'm a bit behind on the Manga since i've only read up to volume 5 and volume 7 just got an english release ~6 months ago)
that said i am curious on the fact that the anime is going to have the game the characters play be Street Fighter 6.
Given that the fictional game they play in the Manga (Iron Senpai 4) is very much 'Street Fighter but with the serial numbers filed off' along side the popularity of SF6 it makes a lot of sense to go with this idea (not mention splicing in game footage will probably make the animation process easier); however, while iron Senpai 4 is arguably a broad pastiche of Street Fighter as a series it is also its own thing pulling specific ideas and mechanics from across the series and as such potentially may not be fully replicable in SF6. I can't think of any specific things that are particularly plot relevant (i had remembered a scene involving a Shoryuken>FADC> Metsu Hadouken Combo, ala SF4, being a thing early on but rereading it the character was referencing that as advanced tech form Iron Senpai 3, the previous entry in the fictional game series) but still it could lead to some changes being made in the narrative.
Then again as an anime of a still actively in production Manga chances are there are going to be changes anyways so... eh
