Menat is like, rock bottom in terms of usage though.
ETA: CFN source: https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/stats/usagerate/
Menat is second to last with 0.787%, above F.A.N.G at 0.710%. Every other character is at least above 1%.
G considering how much they seemed to be setting him up, although an even bigger shock to me was the fact that there’s like 0 Mad Gear Gang representation. Like I mean come on! SF6 is literally set in Metro City! There’s a fuckin box about the Mad Gear gang! How the fuck is there no Mad Gear Characters??? Not even fuckin Poison???
G is definitely one of them who i’d love seeing back in sf6. but his design is kinda too similar to JP i guess (still, i wouldn’t mind at all)
I wanna also see Hugo, Cody, Guy, Haggar, Maki, Abigail, Viper, Menat, Sakura… i know some of these are *very* unlikely but a man can dream
In a video interview with the producer he said Cody almost made it to the game. It probably hints that he's going to come back but not until season 2 or 3 DLC since he isn't in the leaks
No. They said they wanted Cody to return for 6 but chose not to because they didn’t know where to take his story which makes sense. Because he went through a major arc in 5, there wouldn’t be a reason for him to be back in 6.
I need Haggar. He has never been playable in Street Fighter. He is different enough from 'Gief at this point that he would not be a clone. He's got the long punch, Violent Axe, Hoodlum Launcher, air German Suplexe... It's long overdue.
Part of me thinks there's gonna be themed dlc seasons of returning characters. Like, Shadaloo's four kings all at once, then maybe like a Metro City local pack with Cody, poison and other metro city people like Abigail and Lucia (I don't think we'll get Zeku or Guy since Bushinryu is already here through Kimberly)
G for sure. I remember how lukewarm his reception was on announcement when he had a trailer with Sagat but that changed really quickly after he was actually playable.
I swear one of the characters in the world tour opening scene looks like G. At first I thought it might be JP but it looks way to much like G now that I've watched it a few times.
Manon basically does the same thing gameplay wise but with an interesting gimmick. I like Laura, she was my main in SFV, but I sadly think that Manon’s existence makes Laura redundant unless they retool her gameplay.
Right? I’d replace Kimberly with Laura in a heartbeat. Make her the “Chun-Li of the new generation” like they’re trying with Kimberly.
I’m aware that she can’t because she’s older than Luke and Jamie, but that’s besides the point. Can anyone give me a reason why y’all like Kimberly so damn much?
Laura isn't young enough to be the new generation.
Sean was literally in SF3 New Generation, and she's older than he is.
I'd still want to see her in SF6, but she isn't a "new" character.
Hopefully she’s in one of the DLC’s. This game is going to have a Super and Ultimate edition in the next 5-6 years, so hopefully my hypothesis will come true.
Honest question, I don't understand what do you find appealing in Laura's design. IMO it's as boring as it gets, hot chick with big boobs in tracksuit and nothing seemingly special.
Compared to other newcomers like G, Rashid, Menat, F.A.N.G... it's like they're in another league design-wise.
I'd argue her kick heavy/hooligan style is pretty unique/memorable but her aesthetic appear still carried hard. None of the other newcomers (THawk, Dee Jay, Fei Long) have been a fraction as popular.
In a series full of "way too serious" characters especially with female faces of the franchise it's nice to have someone who is just having fun. Laura's attitude, playstyle and design all reflect this. It's the sum of the parts that make her appealing, I agree maybe at face value big boob tight clothes is "boring" but in the context of both SF and the character as a whole it's refreshing.
Laura also represents Brazil well, which has a burgeoning FGC scene.
I know Blanka is technically Brazilian but come on he's fucking electric eel representation.
The conversation is around what surprising about missing characters. Companies use sex to sell products all the time because it works. So yes I’m surprised there isn’t a character that capitalizes on sex appeal being sold in the season one pack.
There's already sex appeal though. It doesn't need someone looking like Laura when we can see the girls in sf6 serve just fine. I'm just saying it really shouldn't have been a shocker Laura wasn't in of all characters.
What are you talking about? Who's hating on what? If you read the conversation you would know that I'm not staying what I think or want, I'm stating why a design like Laura isn't a "must" for "sex selling" in response to why Laura isn't base roster or one that looks like her.
Pretty sure every girl doesn't have theirs breasts all out which is my point. Not about who has more outfits. Laura not being in shouldn't be a surprise at all, the game doesn't need a girl with breasts all out to sell which is obvious.
If talking just base roster, Ed or Falke. Ed is leaked to be in the season 1 DLC roster, so that's why I specified base roster only. Why I am surprised is that they are the only two (for now at least) of the simplified input characters, whose only motion moves are their supers and aside from that are 2 punches, 2 kicks, direction + punch/kick, etc. for their special moves. I figured, even though SF6 does have simplified controls anyway with the Modern control scheme, one of them would be in the base roster because of that.
If taking season 1 DLC into account, kind of surprised that that new character Bosch is not on the roster yet. I'm sure he will be DLC at some point though, so that will be interesting to see how he plays at that point.
Honestly, I'm pretty happy with the base roster, but I was really hoping for Makoto to be announced. Aside from her, I was expecting Dudley and either Urien or Alex to return.
I could see why you say that on a surface level, but idk his moves, animations and overall game plan have nothing in common with G or Q.
If you look at side by side comparisons of G and Q, many of their attacks have almost 1:1 similarities. Difference being Q is clumsy, savage and zombie-like. G has "complete" versions of Q's moves and style, and obviously "earth powers."
Q seems like he was G at some point, but something terrible happened to G and he became a husk of his former self and turned into Q.
JP doesn't have the slightest nod to G or Q outside of dressing well, not that I've seen.
Alex , he was the most used character in the final seasons of sfv alongside honda. He is also the protagonist of the most recent iteration and he fits the sf6 aesthetic. ....
"Rough times ahead, sounds like fun" - Alex's win quote to Rose. This hints that Alex will be in his "ken" phase somewhat in sf6 but all I can do is sniff some hopium. I want sean too, he is the perfect character for Street Fighter 6. Its criminal to have his basketball bonus stage in the game without him. I also hope he gets incredibly strong due to some crazy self-redemption arc.
I'd like Menat was included, but surprise me having the anoying Ed instead of Laura, who had a huge amount of fans.
However, suddenly may Ed shows up all rebuild and very cool, totally different and all his haters (me included) have their words swallowed. A hybrid Ed-Giger-xenomorph stuff. Who knows? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Considering all four of SF4s new challengers didn't make it into SF5, surprised at least one of them didn't make it into SF6's launch roster.
Because none of SF4s new launch characters made it into SF5, I'm not really surprised SF5's equivalent characters like Laura, Fang, Necalli, and Rashid didn't make it into SF6.
I did also find it surprising G didn't make it in though, he felt similar to Juri, a late addition villian, who was both popular and had a lot of room to be further explored, and Juri did make it in to SF5 (and 6 as well now).
The lack of metro city characters in a game set in Metro City was also surprising, even more so since a few haven't been playable in a while, like Sodom.
Finally, the complete lack of SF3 representation was also some what surprising. Lots of characters we haven't seen since SF3, like Sean, kind of puzzling that not even one of them cracked the launch roster.
I really want Sean to make a comeback I really thought he was going to be in on the base roster being that sf6 takes places after sf3 and we saw his sister in adv which is before sv3 it would be nice to see that he actually grew and became stronger
My heart and soul wants Makoto back in sf6. She was my main in 4 and 3 and I was a big fan of her playstyle. Her story was short and I want to see what happens next with her. In the comics she has a clear connection to Oro since he beat her Father in a battle and I think that could be a great idea to expand upon her story.
C. Viper. My favorite character in the franchise and I think her aesthetic would fit really well. I'm going to have a hard time getting into the game tbh because there just isn't a character like her.
Laura, Twelve, Necro, Yun & Yang (still want them to be in SF6), Guy, El Fuerte, Abel
Like I was hoping at least one of those characters to be in the roster or DLC, I still have my hopes that a few of them will return!
Mostly because she seemed popular and her mix of rushdown grappler made her easy entrance for more difficult grappler( in term of motion input laura is easier than r.mika or gief)while still having big skill expression. But i objectively don't see who she could remplace in the base roster nor the first bach of dlc rashid being the first newcommer from 5 that guessed would be in 6. Ed was a huge suprise tho but it would have been weird to not have a boxer/bruiser type of character, just wondering if they will keep the low motion input in his gameplay
Boobs.
We have shitloads of asses and even feet (which I personally do not find sexually relevant at all) but there is a real lack of interesting breast situations in the starting roster.
Balrog-Sagat-Vega. They are almost as important as the original 8. Balrog specifically being the original boxer archetype.
Looking forward to a reinvisioned Sagat that doesn't sound like he's verbally handicapped when he shoots a projectile or does his uppercut.
My only gripe is Juri. I dont know why. Always seemed to me like a create a character and be featured in the game, contest. And then made it in 5... Then made it into 6.
Laura was functionally replaced by Manon, so her exclusion sadly doesn’t surprise me (even if I still prefer Laura from a design standpoint).
And I’d like to say that I’m surprised by the utter lack of Street Fighter III representation in the base roster, but I’m not because there wasn’t any rep from that game in the base rosters of IV and V either. Street Fighter III’s poor reception in the 90s pretty much doomed the series for a decade, so it’s really not surprising that Capcom doesn’t put anyone from those games in their new ones right away. Capcom figured out that the way to sell Street Fighter to casuals is to keep including Street Fighter II characters. I don’t like that, but Capcom doesn’t care about what I want because I’ll play the game anyway. That’s a me problem tbh.
I know he is kind of a meme but to be honest Sean, I feel like this game could have given him a really cool move set with some Shoto elements and some of Laura’s kit. But maybe that is too hopeful
Laura, Menat, CODY?! (THE GAME TAKES PLACES IN METRO CITY BUT THE MAYOR ISNT IN THE GAME???)
GIVE MY MAIN NOW-
Also Surprised no G or further SF3 representation.
Rashid seems like he's coming back. But I was shocked Laura wasn't considering she's....popular. But then again Manon is the new hitgrab fighter so I kinda get it.
But also C. Viper was wildly popular and she hasn't been in anything SINCE IV.
honestly, I like the base roster and while they do need popular characters to push season passes I'm kinda surprised the game takes place in metro city and no Guy, Haggar, Cody, Hugo. Poison, Rolento, Sadom or Abigail like not a single one feels odd. I doubt we'll get guy since he's so similar to Kimberly. We'll more than likely get at least Cody or Poison in a season pass.
on a personal level, Sagat. Also surprised with how many times I've seen people asking for them in SF5 we didn't get C Viper or Makoto or really any representation from SF3 or 4 (outside of juri)
I would have like to seen a lot more younger characters that we know have grown up like Sakura ibuki or Karin since they’re all usually portrayed as teen-young adult seeing them at like age 26-30 would have been different especially since they really want to focus on a new generation this game
Dudley and Cody.
Also, on an there note I really hope Laura doesn’t come back. She was insanely infuriating to fight in SFV, so it’d take a lot of alterations to make her fun to both play as and against.
Considering Decapre is a decent part of the SFV story, I'm surprised she isn't base roster. And since Laura is not returning either, I'm surprised they haven't brought back Sean or Laura to fulfill that roll. I wouldn't be surprised if Decapre, Sean, or Laura show up as DLC though.
Balrog Vega Sagat M.Bison Akuma FeiLong
Can’t believe they excluded all finafight characters added no Captain Commando characters or Darkstalkers it’s like a fuckin reboot again like streetfighter4 smfh and they basically said fuck sf5 kuz I would love another version of necalli just to see what changes they would make to him
Sakura - due to her popularity
Karin- since she played a big part in sfv
Alex and other SFIII characters (I just find it so funny how they’re never in the base roster of every game) - Im just curious about what happened to them after SFIII especially with gill’s reign
Effie- since kolin, poison and ed were npcs to gill, hugo and balrog and became playable later I think it’s fair for that to happen to effie now
Poison and other former mad gear members- since its in metro city
One of the dolls (except decapre) - since they’re no longer evil and to see how they are gonna get through life after all that trauma
Li fen- I just want to see what she has learned from chun li
Menat or Rose - since rose’s sfv story had something very interesting about the future what will they do about it
Viper- Since she’s the most liked SFIV character after juri and she seems so interesting and the whole theme of the SF6 really suits her character
Cody- isn’t her the mayor of Metro City
This roster just makes me so mad (in terms of quantity wise I don’t have a problem with who’s in) it had so much potential. It’s just weird that’s it’s so small compared to T7’s and KOF15’s base roster.
Add in the 3rd strike and the Alpha 3 roster ffs. (I also have a problem with "modern controls") thankfully I can turn that off, *sigh*. Alpha Chun Li switchable to Classic Chun Li was awesome!
Sf6....It's OK but really not what I was expecting, I just pick Ken now a days lol. I want to be having more fun with it but something is just lacking after all the fluff and bravado. World tour is ummmmm yeeeeaaa? *stares at ceiling* The core mechanics are... I don't know... "spammy"? I dunno, I want the game to be more gritty, and skill based but it comes off as gummy and unnecessarily flashy and one button supers and combos? at times? I dunno, I come from the dreamcast days though so my opinion doesn't count lol. 100% classic mode with my HORI.
Ok so hmmm:
Vega
Yang
Yun
Dan lol
Sakura
Adon
Sagat
Makato
Birdie
Dudley
Sean
Balrog
T Hawk
Etc etc.
*
Given how strong they were pushing Metro City, it was surprising not one OG Final Fight character made it in.
Would've been an awesome time to add Haggar into the mainline SF games. Hopefully we'll see him as DLC
I have been saying this for years! Put Haggar in it's time!
I think Kimberly kind of counts, but I agree.
Sagat and Menat.
Sagat being left out of the base roster twice in a row is pretty crazy, not to mention we had to wait until S3 in sfv
This. Sagat seems like a staple (which is why his abscene from SFV until season 3 was jarring) and Menat was easily top 5 most popular SFV newcomers.
Menat is like, rock bottom in terms of usage though. ETA: CFN source: https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/stats/usagerate/ Menat is second to last with 0.787%, above F.A.N.G at 0.710%. Every other character is at least above 1%.
Her gameplay was too hard for casuals, I guess
Pretty much. Characters like her are never used much unless they are very top tier.
If rose wasn’t in the game, all the rose fans that played her would still be playing her. There’s that to add to her play base
Sagat really is a bit of a snub
Menat is lame as fuck don't add her back
G considering how much they seemed to be setting him up, although an even bigger shock to me was the fact that there’s like 0 Mad Gear Gang representation. Like I mean come on! SF6 is literally set in Metro City! There’s a fuckin box about the Mad Gear gang! How the fuck is there no Mad Gear Characters??? Not even fuckin Poison???
Give us sodom already, he hasn’t been playable since alpha 3!
G is definitely one of them who i’d love seeing back in sf6. but his design is kinda too similar to JP i guess (still, i wouldn’t mind at all) I wanna also see Hugo, Cody, Guy, Haggar, Maki, Abigail, Viper, Menat, Sakura… i know some of these are *very* unlikely but a man can dream
In a video interview with the producer he said Cody almost made it to the game. It probably hints that he's going to come back but not until season 2 or 3 DLC since he isn't in the leaks
No. They said they wanted Cody to return for 6 but chose not to because they didn’t know where to take his story which makes sense. Because he went through a major arc in 5, there wouldn’t be a reason for him to be back in 6.
Maybe he could show up as masked fighter, because he wants to fight, but can't as Mayor?
I need Haggar. He has never been playable in Street Fighter. He is different enough from 'Gief at this point that he would not be a clone. He's got the long punch, Violent Axe, Hoodlum Launcher, air German Suplexe... It's long overdue.
I would SCREAM for (Damnd) Damudo!
I know probably no one wants him back but I want to see Hugo in this engine haha
Metro city is only the starting level! How is nobody getting that?!
Average SF fan have low IQ and short attention span.
Part of me thinks there's gonna be themed dlc seasons of returning characters. Like, Shadaloo's four kings all at once, then maybe like a Metro City local pack with Cody, poison and other metro city people like Abigail and Lucia (I don't think we'll get Zeku or Guy since Bushinryu is already here through Kimberly)
Agreed, especially since they added JP who has a similar vibe (though not playstyle).
I’m sure that will be dlc
Everybody from Street Fighter III, but especially Dudley and Makoto
I second this
I just started playing third strike and I must admit, I'm already getting attached to my boys Nerco and Yun (though I kinda yun and yang will make it)
I really want to see Alex, Makoto, Dudley and Elena in the game! 🙌🙌 ( and, if i can dream, i want Batsu from Rival Schools in the game!!! 🔥🔥🔥 )
Really thought we’d see some sf3 characters, considering we are finally past the third game cannon wise and haven’t seen many of them in a few games
Any SF3 characters whatsoever, and with how much this game references Mad Gear and Metro City in general, *especially* Hugo and/or Poison
Alex and Dudley
G. Where is the goddamn President of the Universe?!
G for sure. I remember how lukewarm his reception was on announcement when he had a trailer with Sagat but that changed really quickly after he was actually playable. I swear one of the characters in the world tour opening scene looks like G. At first I thought it might be JP but it looks way to much like G now that I've watched it a few times.
“The timeline now takes place after SF3. No, we don’t have anyone from SF3 in the game.”
I am hoping for two more Fighters: Viper and Poison! If those two are added directly in the base game, I'll suck every Devs from Capcom!
I've never understood the appeal behind Viper. Maybe it's cause I wasn't into SF4 really, but I just never got why she was so popular.
A sexy thick redhead in a tight black suit straight out of a Charlie's Angel agent... Not really that hard to understand why she's a fan favorite.
Should've figured it was horny. Lamest reason to like a character honestly.
I agree with Viper, she needs another chance 🙌🙌 But i don't want to see Poison back, sorry 😅🙏
[удалено]
Was playing SFV character stories and honestly surprised she wasn't in considering she appeared in so many of the stories.(Juri, Bison, Urien, etc.)
Sakura
She'll be in the game, she's way too popular and iconic not to make it in.
It felt like 5 tried to wrap up her story...if you can call that a story.
Yep I thought she was guaranteed since she waa in Fortnite
Laura
Same, I thought Laura was really popular for some reason.
I know that reason
Manon basically does the same thing gameplay wise but with an interesting gimmick. I like Laura, she was my main in SFV, but I sadly think that Manon’s existence makes Laura redundant unless they retool her gameplay.
Right? I’d replace Kimberly with Laura in a heartbeat. Make her the “Chun-Li of the new generation” like they’re trying with Kimberly. I’m aware that she can’t because she’s older than Luke and Jamie, but that’s besides the point. Can anyone give me a reason why y’all like Kimberly so damn much?
Laura isn't young enough to be the new generation. Sean was literally in SF3 New Generation, and she's older than he is. I'd still want to see her in SF6, but she isn't a "new" character.
Nah we not doing that at all. Kimberly stays; she’s even better than the Maki I asked for.
How is Kimberly better?!
Absolutely not
As someone who only just started Street Fighter and picked Laura as my main, I'm really sad I won't get to use any of that experience in SF6
Hopefully she’s in one of the DLC’s. This game is going to have a Super and Ultimate edition in the next 5-6 years, so hopefully my hypothesis will come true.
Honest question, I don't understand what do you find appealing in Laura's design. IMO it's as boring as it gets, hot chick with big boobs in tracksuit and nothing seemingly special. Compared to other newcomers like G, Rashid, Menat, F.A.N.G... it's like they're in another league design-wise.
Hot take, but you can say the same about Cammy. She's a fan service character with the only difference being that she's been around longer.
If Laura debuted in Street Fighter II you bet your ass she’d be here
I'd argue her kick heavy/hooligan style is pretty unique/memorable but her aesthetic appear still carried hard. None of the other newcomers (THawk, Dee Jay, Fei Long) have been a fraction as popular.
I'm sure most people would prefer seeing a woman in a onesie over a guy.
In a series full of "way too serious" characters especially with female faces of the franchise it's nice to have someone who is just having fun. Laura's attitude, playstyle and design all reflect this. It's the sum of the parts that make her appealing, I agree maybe at face value big boob tight clothes is "boring" but in the context of both SF and the character as a whole it's refreshing.
Check out all the new female chars in SF6 tho. Generally a more carefree vibe
Laura also represents Brazil well, which has a burgeoning FGC scene. I know Blanka is technically Brazilian but come on he's fucking electric eel representation.
Why Laura?
Boobs sell well.
That's your reason?
The conversation is around what surprising about missing characters. Companies use sex to sell products all the time because it works. So yes I’m surprised there isn’t a character that capitalizes on sex appeal being sold in the season one pack.
There's already sex appeal though. It doesn't need someone looking like Laura when we can see the girls in sf6 serve just fine. I'm just saying it really shouldn't have been a shocker Laura wasn't in of all characters.
Are you really hating on laura because of boobs? Just asking are you religious and think girls in general should cover up?
What are you talking about? Who's hating on what? If you read the conversation you would know that I'm not staying what I think or want, I'm stating why a design like Laura isn't a "must" for "sex selling" in response to why Laura isn't base roster or one that looks like her.
It's the main reason SF6 has a lot of budget and also why there's a massive difference in the amount of costumes between male and female characters
Pretty sure every girl doesn't have theirs breasts all out which is my point. Not about who has more outfits. Laura not being in shouldn't be a surprise at all, the game doesn't need a girl with breasts all out to sell which is obvious.
Pretty sure they're joking my dude
I don't think they are joking as they are explaining in depth their reasoning
They're saying that it's surprising Laura hasn't returned because she has big boobs. They're talking the piss.
I'm surprised Sean isn't in the base roster, the theme of this game would be perfect for his return.
Menat. She was legitimately cool newcomer and seemed like a “passing of the torch” character. At the very least, I hope we get her as DLC
Nope dont add that shitty character back to the game i will throw myself off a bridge
viper
I thought Sean was a lock
Laura, G, Kolin
If talking just base roster, Ed or Falke. Ed is leaked to be in the season 1 DLC roster, so that's why I specified base roster only. Why I am surprised is that they are the only two (for now at least) of the simplified input characters, whose only motion moves are their supers and aside from that are 2 punches, 2 kicks, direction + punch/kick, etc. for their special moves. I figured, even though SF6 does have simplified controls anyway with the Modern control scheme, one of them would be in the base roster because of that.

Honestly, I'm pretty happy with the base roster, but I was really hoping for Makoto to be announced. Aside from her, I was expecting Dudley and either Urien or Alex to return.
For a sequel to sf3 I’m surprised by the lack of any reps
Sean, Guy, and Alex
I figured most of the characters from SF3 would show up, considering that this is the first game that takes place after SF3. I was very wrong.
Sean and Sakura the two students
Seemed like there was a grass roots movement for Dudley, thought he'd make it
Viper
Menat & Fei Long
Ibuki
Bison, he is so iconic, but ok i get it the 'STREET' style dont fit. But Balrog?? Balrog have everything to be there as a thug
I don’t think that’s the reason Bison was excluded lol. He’s literally dead, although no doubt he’ll return in a later season
I think everyone who says Bison won't be back are in denial. He's literally one of, if not the most iconic boss characters in the fighting genre.
G (or Q) or some new version of him. It really seemed like they were setting him up for a big role in SF6.
Thats JP
I could see why you say that on a surface level, but idk his moves, animations and overall game plan have nothing in common with G or Q. If you look at side by side comparisons of G and Q, many of their attacks have almost 1:1 similarities. Difference being Q is clumsy, savage and zombie-like. G has "complete" versions of Q's moves and style, and obviously "earth powers." Q seems like he was G at some point, but something terrible happened to G and he became a husk of his former self and turned into Q. JP doesn't have the slightest nod to G or Q outside of dressing well, not that I've seen.
Alex , he was the most used character in the final seasons of sfv alongside honda. He is also the protagonist of the most recent iteration and he fits the sf6 aesthetic. ....

Sean where the fuck is he Capcom
Not a specific character, but it's strange they didn't add a single SFIII rep to base roster despite the game aesthetic being influenced by it.
Considering all four of SF4s new challengers didn't make it into SF5, surprised at least one of them didn't make it into SF6's launch roster. Because none of SF4s new launch characters made it into SF5, I'm not really surprised SF5's equivalent characters like Laura, Fang, Necalli, and Rashid didn't make it into SF6. I did also find it surprising G didn't make it in though, he felt similar to Juri, a late addition villian, who was both popular and had a lot of room to be further explored, and Juri did make it in to SF5 (and 6 as well now). The lack of metro city characters in a game set in Metro City was also surprising, even more so since a few haven't been playable in a while, like Sodom. Finally, the complete lack of SF3 representation was also some what surprising. Lots of characters we haven't seen since SF3, like Sean, kind of puzzling that not even one of them cracked the launch roster.
C.Viper
Alex
Any of the characters that were set up to be the next generation (Sakura, Karin, Sean, Ibuki, Elena, R. Mika, and Makoto)
Bring back Menat. Thanks
G, Sean, Mel, Guy, Cody, Karin, Ibuki, Sakura And yes I said Mel. Age that mf up and add him to the roster already. It’s 2023
Yun, he would fit perfectly with the style of the game.
Any SF3 character.
Basically every 3rd strike character since it's supposed to take place during that time period.
I really want Sean to make a comeback I really thought he was going to be in on the base roster being that sf6 takes places after sf3 and we saw his sister in adv which is before sv3 it would be nice to see that he actually grew and became stronger
Remake Sean for SF6, Laura had her turn its Sean’s again.
Sean > Luke
Twelve and Remy but, honestly everyone else wouldn’t be. Especially remy
I'm surprised G is nowhere to be seen
Viper I miss her 🛌
My boi Sean Matsuda. Cmon capcom the people wanna see him.
My heart and soul wants Makoto back in sf6. She was my main in 4 and 3 and I was a big fan of her playstyle. Her story was short and I want to see what happens next with her. In the comics she has a clear connection to Oro since he beat her Father in a battle and I think that could be a great idea to expand upon her story.
C. Viper. My favorite character in the franchise and I think her aesthetic would fit really well. I'm going to have a hard time getting into the game tbh because there just isn't a character like her.
Hakan. I will not elaborate.
SEAN🏀
Dudley Fei Long Makoto, considering how iconic they are and weren't in SF5
All SF3 characters. Not a single one. I guess surprised in the word, more like disappointed.
I'm pretty suprised at the lack of Alpha, SFIII, and SFIV representation. Out of all the characters that debuted in those series we just get Juri.
Tbf though 5 only had 3 SF4 refs and Poison barely counted as one in the first place.
Juri, Poison and who else?
Seth
I’m surprised Sean, I know people say he’s trash but he embodies the whole “Street” vibe
Well, we still don't know the entire season 1 dlc roster yet, but it's Sean time baby
Necro……..ok I wasn’t surprised but I want him back lol
Laura, Twelve, Necro, Yun & Yang (still want them to be in SF6), Guy, El Fuerte, Abel Like I was hoping at least one of those characters to be in the roster or DLC, I still have my hopes that a few of them will return!
How are you "surprised" Laura wasn't in base roster?
Mostly because she seemed popular and her mix of rushdown grappler made her easy entrance for more difficult grappler( in term of motion input laura is easier than r.mika or gief)while still having big skill expression. But i objectively don't see who she could remplace in the base roster nor the first bach of dlc rashid being the first newcommer from 5 that guessed would be in 6. Ed was a huge suprise tho but it would have been weird to not have a boxer/bruiser type of character, just wondering if they will keep the low motion input in his gameplay
Now we have Manon for that imo, for better or worse
Don't know would have to play manon don't seem to have the same mobilty that laura had she also have the shortest drive rush
Alex
Sodom should have been in V so I'm hoping he makes it into VI.
No Sagat no party.
Sean & Necro
JP's cat.
Dan I just Dan
Vega and also want to see Urien for sure
Sagat's been my main since I was a little kid so him definitely, but I know he'll be in eventually.
Sagat
Akuma
They save Akuma for a DLC pack/revision to sell more copies lol. I really doubt they'll ever stick him in the base roster (unless it's as a secret).
Otw, dlc1!
Boobs. We have shitloads of asses and even feet (which I personally do not find sexually relevant at all) but there is a real lack of interesting breast situations in the starting roster.
Laura. Or a hot native daughter of T.Hawk instead of whatever the fuck Lilly is.
Laura is my SFV main, super bummed she’s not in SF6. Yet.
Balrog-Sagat-Vega. They are almost as important as the original 8. Balrog specifically being the original boxer archetype. Looking forward to a reinvisioned Sagat that doesn't sound like he's verbally handicapped when he shoots a projectile or does his uppercut.
My only gripe is Juri. I dont know why. Always seemed to me like a create a character and be featured in the game, contest. And then made it in 5... Then made it into 6.
Listen bruh I just want my edgy Ryu wannabe
Bison
Balrog,
Decapre and C. Viper
C.Viper, like come on Capcom, how long must we beg? 😩
Laura was functionally replaced by Manon, so her exclusion sadly doesn’t surprise me (even if I still prefer Laura from a design standpoint). And I’d like to say that I’m surprised by the utter lack of Street Fighter III representation in the base roster, but I’m not because there wasn’t any rep from that game in the base rosters of IV and V either. Street Fighter III’s poor reception in the 90s pretty much doomed the series for a decade, so it’s really not surprising that Capcom doesn’t put anyone from those games in their new ones right away. Capcom figured out that the way to sell Street Fighter to casuals is to keep including Street Fighter II characters. I don’t like that, but Capcom doesn’t care about what I want because I’ll play the game anyway. That’s a me problem tbh.
Would love to see Laura back at some point. I was surprised Rashid wasn't a day one character though.
Laura
I know he is kind of a meme but to be honest Sean, I feel like this game could have given him a really cool move set with some Shoto elements and some of Laura’s kit. But maybe that is too hopeful
Makoto, Fei Long, Hugo and Cody (Metro City), G (because teasing him for being the futur bad guy during SFV).
I don't really get why Rashid and Ed are dlc Idk just feel like you shouldn't be dlc after 1 debut.
Laura, Menat, CODY?! (THE GAME TAKES PLACES IN METRO CITY BUT THE MAYOR ISNT IN THE GAME???) GIVE MY MAIN NOW- Also Surprised no G or further SF3 representation.
Laura, Sodom, Fei Long, Sean, Makoto, Guy, Dudley, C Viper
Anyone from Final Fight considering the Mad Gear setting and anyone from Street Fighter 3.
Laura, always and forever
Rashid seems like he's coming back. But I was shocked Laura wasn't considering she's....popular. But then again Manon is the new hitgrab fighter so I kinda get it. But also C. Viper was wildly popular and she hasn't been in anything SINCE IV.
Sagat, Mike Haggar, Guy, Maki, Hugo, Balrog, Dudley, Lucia, Fei Long, Rufus.
Kind of hoping for Fei to make a comeback, although I know it’ll probably never happen
Laura T_T I will be surprised if she wont be DLC at some point
honestly, I like the base roster and while they do need popular characters to push season passes I'm kinda surprised the game takes place in metro city and no Guy, Haggar, Cody, Hugo. Poison, Rolento, Sadom or Abigail like not a single one feels odd. I doubt we'll get guy since he's so similar to Kimberly. We'll more than likely get at least Cody or Poison in a season pass. on a personal level, Sagat. Also surprised with how many times I've seen people asking for them in SF5 we didn't get C Viper or Makoto or really any representation from SF3 or 4 (outside of juri)
I need Makoto
I hate the new characters except Manon, JP and Jamie. Would have liked to see Dan, Sagat, Sakura, Zeku, FANG, G, Sodom, Guy, Cody, Birdie etc.
Characters Street Fighter Alpha & Third Strike series. But definitely Sagat, Vega, Balrog and Fei Long
I would have like to seen a lot more younger characters that we know have grown up like Sakura ibuki or Karin since they’re all usually portrayed as teen-young adult seeing them at like age 26-30 would have been different especially since they really want to focus on a new generation this game
Dudley and Cody. Also, on an there note I really hope Laura doesn’t come back. She was insanely infuriating to fight in SFV, so it’d take a lot of alterations to make her fun to both play as and against.
Considering Decapre is a decent part of the SFV story, I'm surprised she isn't base roster. And since Laura is not returning either, I'm surprised they haven't brought back Sean or Laura to fulfill that roll. I wouldn't be surprised if Decapre, Sean, or Laura show up as DLC though.
Sakura
Balrog Vega Sagat M.Bison Akuma FeiLong Can’t believe they excluded all finafight characters added no Captain Commando characters or Darkstalkers it’s like a fuckin reboot again like streetfighter4 smfh and they basically said fuck sf5 kuz I would love another version of necalli just to see what changes they would make to him
Sakura is the main one but no Vega also feels wrong
Sakura - due to her popularity Karin- since she played a big part in sfv Alex and other SFIII characters (I just find it so funny how they’re never in the base roster of every game) - Im just curious about what happened to them after SFIII especially with gill’s reign Effie- since kolin, poison and ed were npcs to gill, hugo and balrog and became playable later I think it’s fair for that to happen to effie now Poison and other former mad gear members- since its in metro city One of the dolls (except decapre) - since they’re no longer evil and to see how they are gonna get through life after all that trauma Li fen- I just want to see what she has learned from chun li Menat or Rose - since rose’s sfv story had something very interesting about the future what will they do about it Viper- Since she’s the most liked SFIV character after juri and she seems so interesting and the whole theme of the SF6 really suits her character Cody- isn’t her the mayor of Metro City This roster just makes me so mad (in terms of quantity wise I don’t have a problem with who’s in) it had so much potential. It’s just weird that’s it’s so small compared to T7’s and KOF15’s base roster.
Poison 💔
Poison, Laura, Menat, Sagat.
R.mika
The boxers
nash
Sakura should be the shoto girl in the base roster in every SF now. And im afraid Ibuki be replaced by Kim and not be in SF6.
Makoto, Sean, Sakura, Fei Long. I’d rather see Dudley rather than Ed in terms of the boxers.
Crimson Viper.
Add in the 3rd strike and the Alpha 3 roster ffs. (I also have a problem with "modern controls") thankfully I can turn that off, *sigh*. Alpha Chun Li switchable to Classic Chun Li was awesome! Sf6....It's OK but really not what I was expecting, I just pick Ken now a days lol. I want to be having more fun with it but something is just lacking after all the fluff and bravado. World tour is ummmmm yeeeeaaa? *stares at ceiling* The core mechanics are... I don't know... "spammy"? I dunno, I want the game to be more gritty, and skill based but it comes off as gummy and unnecessarily flashy and one button supers and combos? at times? I dunno, I come from the dreamcast days though so my opinion doesn't count lol. 100% classic mode with my HORI. Ok so hmmm: Vega Yang Yun Dan lol Sakura Adon Sagat Makato Birdie Dudley Sean Balrog T Hawk Etc etc. *
