Capcom's announcement of Street Fighter 6 has been warmly embraced by the fighting game community. It's an excitement that Street Fighter hasn't had in a long time and Capcom appears to be doing everything to maintain this momentum. It's released multiple trailers since Street Fighter 6's reveal, including character showcases like Guile and new features like Game Face that lets players act smug before a match.

It starts with Ryu doing a basic taunt in which he says «Come on!» and strikes a pose. That's followed by a more pointed taunt from newcomer Luke, in which he mockingly says «Hadouken!» and mimics Ryu's hand gestures for the iconic Street Fighter attack.

Taunts aren't new to Street Fighter, of course. The mechanic is common to the modern fighting game genre and was first added to the Street Fighter franchise for Street Fighter Alpha.

With Capcom's effort to advertise the personalities behind each member of Street Fighter 6's roster, taunts help show their approach to competition and sportsmanship uniquely.

That could mean that Luke, or maybe even
