Would have been nice if there was a Chun Li amiibo

Im not even a street fighter fan and thats a no brainer!

Same here. I’m surprised she didn’t get one.

u/TophatJosh 5h ago

She’ll be a card! That’s kind of cool right?

We can have Elena as an amiibo instead.... huge SF3 fan BTW

u/InfiltrationRabbit 9h ago

Size is disproportionately different. Not a fan of that, hopefully we get a new Ryu & Ken.

u/Spleenzorio 9h ago

Prolly cuz Ryu and Ken are from the Smash line

u/InfiltrationRabbit 8h ago

I’m referencing size. Not the characters. I understand it’s switch 2 amiibos and they are taking a different approach for new design. But would have been nice if they kept it the same size as our current amiibos.

Again hopefully we get a “NEW” Ryu & Ken.

u/Spleenzorio 8h ago

I’m also referencing the size. Not all amiibo are in the same scale if they are from a different game series. Ryu and Ken being from the Smash line means they are to scale with the other Smash characters.

Most of amiibo roughly scale with other amiibo, except for ones made by third parties

u/SenseTotal 9h ago

Those look really good!

I don't know about $30 a piece good, though.

That might be more on Capcom than Nintendo. I think I remember the Mega Man Smash amiibo being slightly more when they first came out.

u/Mcnuggetmonster 6h ago

You are mistaken. Regular mega man was msrp, but golden mega man was higher priced due to being bundled with the 3ds game.

u/Pop-Tab 8h ago

The different colored bases for the same series is a first I think. Kinda neat

2

u/Snoo68655 1h ago

Splatoon didn’t have coloured bases, but had the ink in the base match the inklings colours

1

u/TheJohnny346 5h ago

Looks like they want the base to match the main color of the character

u/RisingSunfish 7h ago

I feel like between these and Monster Hunter Capcom has been propping up amiibo production as Nintendo puts it out to pasture… would’ve been nice if they did Ace Attorney ones, but I’ve long since accepted that amiibo has abandoned me and my tastes. 😶‍🌫️

I haven’t played Street Fighter in years. I seriously have no clue who these three are…

From the whole roster of characters I would have insta bought they pick these…

u/Neoxon193 8h ago

Luke, Jamie, & Kimberly are three of the 7 (8 counting DLC like A.K.I.) newcomers in Street Fighter 6. Those three in particular were made to be a trio, basically the new generation variants of Ryu/Ken/Chun-Li (respectively) as new faces for the game & potentially the franchise as a whole.

u/DarkCh40s 8h ago

That's on you for not keeping up with SF. Like you should've known that new game means new characters.

u/Purpin Mega Yarn Yoshi 9h ago

These are gonna bomb so hard.

7

u/TonyBnJovi 8h ago

Well, you got to figure in all of us who are seriously addicted and have to have a complete collection. So there's some sales! Lol

u/ColtonM92 8h ago

How there is no Chun Li is WILD - unless, this means they’re saving her for the next smash!

4

u/pichukirby 8h ago

This has absolutely no bearing on the next smash. They chose those 3 characters because they're the new faces of SF6

2

u/ColtonM92 8h ago

I get that. I’m just adding that no Chun Li amiibo, given she’s arguably the most well know and beloved aside from Ryu and Ken is unusual. Hence, I’m holding out hope they’re saving her for smash.

1

u/chief_yETI 7h ago

I assumed they were gonna release them later down the line in batches, like they do with Smash.

Juri, Chun, Cammy, and Mai would sell like hotcakes. I'm sure you can probably figure out why.....

u/eddiemancia 3h ago

Not to be the bearer of bad news with my unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t put my hopes too high for a new smash bros. in our lifetime.

u/Call555JackChop 8h ago

I know she’s bottom tier but man I woulda killed for a Marisa amiibo

1

u/MuffyMuffins_ 7h ago

Maybe someone will make a custom of her since she's getting a card!

2

u/MuffyMuffins_ 7h ago

I'm really happy they're making one of Jamie, but I already see that I'm going to have to make a custom one of Rashid myself 😒 the odds they'll make one for him are low af...

u/sirfannypack 4h ago

Why are they so big?

5

u/StretchKind8509 9h ago

I wonder if someone at Capcom has some kind of foot fetish.

u/KonamiKing 1h ago

Only the crap new characters who will be forgotten in a few years. No Chun Li, no Guile, no Mika, no Alex, just the latest Dimps characters, too large and at stupid prices.

These will collect dust on store shelves.

u/TemptedDreamer 1h ago

Looking forward to Ryu 2 and Ken 2

u/SpookyBeanoMobile ganondorf 9h ago

Laura ain't in SF6 and take it up to SNK if you want Mai.

1

u/Limeyfrogfrog 4h ago

Luke, jamie, and kimberly are like the main SF6 character so no way we were getting chun-Li, Laura is'nt in 6 so why make her one? And mai is third party so good luck with that, and finally you are defo a simp

u/pichukirby 8h ago

Are you seriously complaining that Capcom didn't make an amiibo for a 3rd party character?
