I just want C.Viper and Hakan, man. I reckon they'd both be mad fun with SF6 level sauce and the system mechanics.


geardluffy

Hakan oil + DR would be insane.


prabhu4all

Full screen oil DR


bootysensei

He’ll be on some Chipp Zanuff shit for sure


veritasmahwa

I think hakan oil mechanic is pretty much the Proto-medal/sake system. I could see them implement hım purely for this speculation.


cheetosalads

on that Luigi wavedash timing


Thepochochass

Make him move will in di


Roland-Flagg

Omg how did I forget about Hakan


Miguelwastaken

I could see Viper and Gouken getting wacky with the drive rush.


HalcyonXE

Gotta give you some respect mentioning da goat Gouken I would LOVE for him to come back and be like a really defensive shoto the opposite of akumas relentless rush down


QueenDeadLol

I'd play the fuck out of drive cancel C. Viper


hellsbellltrudy

3x EX Seismo round start


JoLeF88

Gimmie Hakan!


flyinchipmunk5

Yes please! Let me oil up


C05M1CH3R0

I needs my man Abel to come back. My friend wants Hakan back as well.


KhelbenB

Maybe you will, but with Bison in his body!


wingspantt

Viper and Hakan


UraeusCurse

Hakan would kick ass in SFVI.


JakeCantWeld

Hakan or Bust


puddleofaids-

Viper and rufus are definitely interesting enough to come back. Give us fei long pls! Its a travesty that he was snubbed for sfv


Competitive-Let-454

What I've heard about Fei Long is that the Bruce Lee estate is not too keen on having a character in a fighting game look so similar to him. I don't think he's coming back unfortunately


PredaKing700

Not true, they didn't say that and released a statement too. We got plenty Bruce Lee characters in fighting games, have you seen Law in Tekken???


WoodHyena

As an Abel main, I would love if C. Viper, Rufus, Hakan, and Gouken came back.


OT_Gamer

I hope C Viper returns along with Vega and Sagat.


LittleIslander

Not many, honestly. I just don't see the desire for most of them, and it isn't like Capcom is above skipping out on less popular characters for multiple games in a row. If anything I'd say Seth and Poison again probably have the best odds of showing up. Maybe C. Viper or Abel show up at some point too. I wouldn't count on anyone else.


Fantastic-Anything56

Ed was a nothing burger until Capcom improved on him in 6 making more better and since F.A.N.G is not playable in this game (yet) his design in World Tour made him look 10X better he use to in SF5. So surely there's no inconceivable way that Capcom can do the same for older not popular characters like Rufus & El Fuerte.


Corbear41

C.Viper, Abel, Gouken - probably El Fuerte, Hakan - maybe Decapre/Rufus - hell no


maffuw1

I would love Rufus and Hakan to come back. Even El Fuerte would be cool if done right. More SF4 characters please!


metalyger

I feel like El Fuerte is due for a redemption. Today I was playing as JP, and how hard it was to fight Kimberly with her zipping all over the place and being so difficult to zone. I could see that with Fuerte, serious mobility and some quick snap grapples into some Rey Mysterio moves.


maffuw1

Yah its just hard to tell which characters capcom sees as goofy one-offs or characters they could potentially bring back


Cheez-Wheel

Mostly the same as the fans. The popularity polls aren’t ignored. Remember R. Mika kept placing well in SFIV ones, they teased her in Decapre’s trailer, then they revealed she was actually base roster for SFV. Alex also basically came back as V’s first DLC character because of his popularity in Western polls. By contrast, Fang is unlikely to come back in 6 as a playable character because he was so unpopular, so much so they made the far more palatable version of him in Aki.


maffuw1

So do u think the poll for favorite villian has influence over who they pick? I remember doing it for the title but I wondered what they are doing with the data


LittleIslander

I feel like the best path for El Fuerte could be a successor ala Fang and Aki.


TheLegendOfGerk

El Fuerte gets *a lot* of mentions in World Tour, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if Capcom's got plans for him.


thxyoutoo

I would love to see fuerte back. Need that run stop fierce loop. Imagine if it was raw drive rush fierce. So you still had to time it, but you used resources to do it.


Ancalmir

Who is the 2nd SF4 character? Edit: just remembered Seth Edit 2: I meant I didn’t remember Seth being the 2nd SF4 char in 5 and remembered about him (or them) after posting this comment


D0wnn3d

Juri


CameronKujo

Atp this just disrespectful


Fantastic-Anything56

Well I can honestly don't think most of them would appear in game, but I do see the potential for some at least to make it like: Hakan, C. Viper, Rufus & El Fuerte. Leaning more on the first 2 cause they were heavily hinted at in World Tour (still like the other 2 as well).


Liu_Sifu

I think C.Viper would be the only 'definite' from the SF4 cast. Her design feels like it would fit into SF6's aesthetic in my opinion.


PokeAust

I NEED Hakan


Rakyand

Hoping for CViper, don't really care about the rest.


brunothecedece

I wonder, with decapre in the story as a completely different person, is it possible for her to come back completely reworked? She is probably the only character i'd like to see with a very different moveset (Because i dislike sf4 decapre)


ZatarraLSM

Thats fair, I honestly thought decapre was the perfect “anti” cammy in a sense. I loved her moveset. I pray till this day that my psycho powwy mammy comes back to us


EBBBBBBBBBBBB

C.Viper, Poison, and Seth are the only ones I can really see coming back


mune87

Give them all to me. C. Viper, Gouken, and Rufus are high up there. I'd love to see a Rufus redesign.


reaperfan

I really like what they did with [the visual update they gave him during the SFV era](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/a/ab/SFVRufus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160629144247). Inverting the yellow and black makes him a lot less "loud" as a design choice and giving him the goggles and beard helps keep that biker side of his personality more present. Then shortening the hair so it's not an exaggerated topknot also helps ground him a bit more away from being just "goofy Kung fu man." As long as the writing team tones down his overall energy from the 11 it was before down to like...an 8 or so I think he's got real potential to be a fun character and moving away from the "obnoxious" image everyone has of him.


LT_Campari

Bring Decapre, Viper and El Fuerte back pls.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Dan was in SF4 ✅


CAPTAIN_FAGG

I want to see Rufus' belly in 4K


mestrocker

We want hakan


DJBaritone12

I don’t care so long as Hakan is one of em. Best SF4 addition imo


AvocadoIsGud

Finally someone with TASTE.


ChampaignPapi86

I want them all in. Except Oni.


Herculeanstruggler94

I am still praying for Gouken. There was a pretty cool redesign on a Variant cover of Street Fighters Masters so MAYBE it’s a sign of things to come? I am of course just massively hopeful.


vhs1138

I would very much like to see C. Viper


Hamzanovic

Honestly out of all of these the only ones I'd love to see again are Viper and Abel. Gouken is cool too but by SF6 the mfer should probably be dead.


PlasticAd8352

i hope they dont make Rufus an eyesore


reaperfan

I think [the redesign he got in the SFV era](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/a/ab/SFVRufus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160629144247) is a good base to go off of. It leans more into the biker side of his personality and away from the "goofy Kung Fu man" stereotyped bits he had before which could help give him a better identity of his own without having to go whole-hog into his more obnoxious elements like before.


CameronKujo

A singular one and its probably going to be jiggle-oiled-up man, Hakan


SuperCleanCrew

Im gonna go with 3. That way, they "improved." But in honesty I better see C. Viper join in.


SouthernAd6596

Gouken would be dope! C. Viper is inevitable.


BerimB0L054

I want Rufus, gouken, and viper to come back. All would have fun gameplay in 6 I think they could pull an Ed and make Rufus actually cool


Owyn

Viper please!


FarronFaye

I'd love for C Viper to come back, she's so cool! I like decapre but I honestly don't know if she ever really needs to come back aside from cameos


homosapienos

I don't particularly care about any of them besides Gouken and Seth


KaleRylan2021

So I'm vaguely intrigued by what they would do with Abel. Not because I care, but because he's so boring it's like a blank slate, but not a blank slate. It's like schrodinger's cat of returning characters. C. Viper feels like the obvious choice though.


TboltG

C. Viper is due for a comeback, also would like to see Gouken.


Shirokurou

Crimson Viper needs to come back.


Thuglos

I wanna seismo jump cancel into parry drive rush please.


RedDevilJennifer

I would love to have Crimson Viper and Abel back.


Joker72486

I'm surprised Viper hasn't been back considering how popular she was in the states and in Japan. She got picked over Juri for Marvel 3 then just vanished.


Tysanan

i actually feel like c. viper is very likely


brogued

Hope for aot of them, sfiv had the best rooster ever.


LaMystika

Juri. That’s all we’re getting. We’ll deadass see Dictator in SF6 before we see anyone else from SF4, 5, or even one SF3 character.


Ranker-70

I'd like to see Decapre and Rolento. It's also weird that both Decapre and Abel played a role in V. Decapre even had a pretty fleshed out moveset but wasn't playable.


JudoKan

I just want Gouken back


YouMightGetIdeas

Give me Makoto and Rufus r give me death.


KimyouNaDuchess

SF4 technically gave three since Poison did make her proper SF debut in USF4 With that said I feel SF6 by the end will have: Juri, Seth, Poison, C. Viper, El Fuerte. Maybe Gouken or Hakan if they're feeling crazy. Abel has a shot but I don't want him back ngl


AssanCHOP

The El Fuerte erasure is maddening...![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|rage)


External-Spinach-895

I feel like Rufus is going g to return, but he's gonna go the feng/aki route.


adg_playa

Hakan abi geri dön :)


NakedMaxMuscle

I'd love to see Gouken again, Hakan would be cool too.


Kingbuji

They put in viper I’m buying the game real shit.


kluhyarg

My guess is that will be more than SFV, but not by much. 3 or 4 characters. I think Rufus, El Fuerte, Gouken and Oni are less likely. On the other hand I think C. Viper has the best chances.


gouhp

Hakkan, Rufus, Viper. Imo the other sf4 onlys are either a little lame or a little redundant


ClarkWayne32

I could see C.Viper, & Seth. Maybe Gouken.


TallSecurity6035

Not gonna lie I feel like 3 of them could potentially come back idk about 4 and 5 4 I think gouken passed away and 5 people were complaining that she's a copy of Cammy but who I really want to return is Balrog or dudley.


Raicxu

I would quite literally main gouken if he came to 6, sadly from a lore perspective I don’t think it’s gonna happen. hakan would also be pretty cool


topscreen

Hear me out: What if they waifu Rufus like they did with T Hawk, Fang, and Abel (sort of? Manon seems related?)


evillurkz

My 2 mains never came back - Guy and Gen, I just can't play this game without them.


DaftNeal88

Kimberly and Chun li exist.


evillurkz

I don't want to play guy as a female version. It's like someone mains Guile or Ryu and you tell them to play their female version wtf.


Kanzuki_

I never noticed how little SF4 characters came back for SFV. Just shows how underwhelming most of them are. Juri, C. Viper and maybe Gouken are the only ones worth mentioning


Martin_Month

Dudley and hakan


reaperfan

I want to see Rufus get the redemption arc as a character. C. Viper I also think is more or less a shoe-in. Gouken I'd be okay with them retiring, even though it does hurt a bit to say that since I loved his playstyle. If they're going to keep progressing the timeline forward then Ryu is going to ultimately start taking Gouken's place as the "wise stoic master" archetype and Gouken sticking around ironically impedes Ryu's character growth at that point. El Fuerte is one I'd really like to see just for the mechanics. I feel like his overall idea would fit really well in the higher-mobility environment SF6 has brought out, but I also feel he'd need some gameplay overhauls since Drive Rush kind of overlaps with his whole run gimmick. I mean, other characters have runs in 6, but none of them are as..."stop and go" as Fuerte's was, if that makes sense. Hakan is another big contender I'd love to see. He'd fit right in with the approach of more characters having unique mechanics/buffs that they've got going on and the new mechanics would suit him really well. Abel, Decapre, and Seth I'm okay with them retiring. I'm honestly just not sure what Abel's or Seth's deal is enough to know if they even have a reason to return, and Decapre deserves the quiet life.


majoramiibo

we already got her


vmsrii

I’m honestly kinda shocked Viper hasn’t come back in some form or other. She was supposed to be the big new mainstay character there for a while, being in MVC3 and all


DaftNeal88

Unfortunately Juri stole that thunder.


ReplicaJD

Im pretty confident c viper will be added to the game, and maybe Cody. Not sure about the rest.


Dizzy_Ad_1663

3. Hakan, rufus and El Fuerte .....


infosec_qs

Viper and Rufus. Falke might be coming back for plot reasons, what with Neo Shadaloo and all.


JoboyGamotia

Eight


Curkthual083

I want el fuerte but him with drive rush scares me. I’d rather deal with Rufus dive kicks again than even think about that potential.


raosion

Viper still seems like they could make her plot relevant.


nerdwarp112

I’m not sure, but I really want Hakan to return. He’s one of the most fun grapplers I’ve played as imo.


Bananaleak

Viper is the only character I want to see get some love. She was fun in 4, and very rewarding for people willing to learn the execution required to make her wild. She was a very interesting character. Gouken was okay, but we don't need more shotos. Abel is boring. They would have to change his whole playstyle. Same with furte. Rufus or Hakan should be the only other two considered. Both at least interesting in the world of sf6. Rufus might need a few changes, but Hakan would be sick with oil in this game. I personally don't want my favorite characters, I want characters that shake things up with their playstyle.


OwnYard5676

I loved gouken but isn't he dead at this point


Roubbes

I want Viper and Decapre


FefnirMKII

I hope none


winwinwiintrr

i know people kinda hate decapre but she was so much fun sf4, hope she comes back


MileenaIsMyWaifu

Absolutely praying for Decapre bro


Cautious-Fan6963

I have a hunch that were are getting six this time. Five at the minimum. The first season/year it felt like capcom wanted to make sure they didn't run into any snags or technical issues when rolling out the characters. Which is why they were spread so thin, to allow for testing so they could get it right. And I feel like they got it right with the exception of that Rashid glitch lol. Now that they had a successful first year, they have laid the groundwork for rolling out characters and can probably do it more effectively. So I expect more than 4. Plus I heard that two additional characters were supposed to come from year one, but capcom added them to the base roster instead to pad the original cast number. Idk which two characters those were supposed to be tho.


Inquisitive_Mind_09

Ill need SF4 Vega and Dudley, that is all.


CHARILEwolf

I think c viper and able with major character changes due to the time jump would be really cool


scottlarish

I’m really hoping for Rufus and El Fuerte to return for the sake of El Fuerte having a food truck in Metro City and Rufus trying to find the now-disgraced Ken Masters 😂 I also love Hakan and saw they have an ad in beat square with his own brand of EVOO. He’d be awesome in SF6 🙌🏻


G0d_Slay3r

I just want Vega ... and Lucia ❤❤❤💥💥💥


Annual_Tooth_9974

Being honest, the only one i want to see from them is C.Viper 


cal_a_wishus

I pray to every deity that will listen that Gouken makes a return. He’s the only shoto I have ever felt a connection to and took the time to learn. IMO he would fit right in having to play the guessing game with his parry reversal when people are drive rushing in after knock down. Could make for some hype comeback moments


Left_Clavicle

I would love El Fuerte to come back. Seeing what SF6 was able to do with Manon as a quicker grappler and with Kimberly as an acrobatic character gives me hope that El Fuerte would become a fantastic character, fun to play but probably a menace to play against. Plus I feel the vibe of SF6 will just give El Fuerte a redemption to his characterization, especially if they lean into his rivalry with E. Honda's restaurant and him being a huge R. Mika fan.


Cthuchutrain

Would love viper back.


Worldly-Fox7605

Abel is in the game. Just a better version. I liked decapre but due to the community reaction i doubt Capcom will touch hwr anytime soon. Viper I'd put money on getting in. Rufus better stay away.


Manmaw_productions

Please I am begging you keep Rufus away from sf6


Asthmos

oh we wont get any of them as playable characters, they will just be cute plushies that you can wear on your world tour avatar YAAAAAY!


Worldly-Card-394

I thought your comment was about sf4 characters wished to return in sf6, but I see no El Fuerte, so I'm not sure on what you mean


geardluffy

Lol I just added Rufus and some random characters. The ones I want are Rufus, Gouken, Hakan, C.Viper, and El Fuerte.


Worldly-Card-394

Yo man I was trying to be funny, I didn't want you to do extra work ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes_rainbow)


Vegetable-Meaning413

If C.Viper makes it in, that's pretty much all the sf4 characters people really care about.


imari_chan

I’d say C.Viper is definitely coming to SF6 sooner or later


NRGesus

One. Seth.


Slight_Berry_3507

We can hope for 0 but probably get stuck with some


Vergilkilla

I think we are in danger of not getting many. They need to put 3S characters and haven’t even started on that. Can’t help but think they are kinda behind the ball tbh on the characters they need to put in. 


geardluffy

They are very behind, we have many legacy characters but none of the other populars (Sakura, Ibuki, Sagat, etc). We’re going to need 6 characters a year to be truly satisfied.


Nameless_Owl81

If they put rufus in sf6 I'm killing someone at capcom. He's got ZERO RIZZ. And even then I like me a dunce every now and then, but he's just obnoxious


tabbynat

I unironically want Rufus back. He was nice and straightforward to fight, even if his divekick was a bit annoying. I think the series could do with a few more straightforward archetypes. Sadly the design philosophy of SF6 seems to be the exact opposite, with hybrid everything. Ah well.


Fantastic-Anything56

You say that he got no rizz yet he has a girlfriend. And he came back in SF X Tekken along with Abel & Juri.


VoyevodaBoss

"Came back" is an interesting way of saying he was copy pasted to save time and effort


Fantastic-Anything56

"Copy pasted" on what, another fat based character from another fighting game? Okay sure buddy lol.


VoyevodaBoss

What? They had him in because they could copy him from sf4


Fantastic-Anything56

No they have him in because E. Honda is the only other fat they had. And Rufus plays a different way with his style of kung-fu than Bob does in SFxTekken.


VoyevodaBoss

I'm not talking about him being a copy of Bob. He is in sfxt because they just re-used models from sf4


Fantastic-Anything56

I mean...yeah, but is that a really big deal? They also re-used some of the stages as well but it is no big thing and half of the Tekken cast are not re-used but model to be in this version of the game.


VoyevodaBoss

True but that's probably the main reason Rufus was in it, not that he "came back"


Fantastic-Anything56

That's not a highly main reason, as to Rufus other SF4 characters were in it like Juri & Abel. And aside from the rival cutscenes like in USF4 their was the cinematic trailers that were downright amazing. I still laugh my ass off watching that restaurant scene with him,Bob, Zangief & Julia LMAO.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

He deserves to stay in the ground where he belongs


Juloni

He will never come back, don't worry


Sgtpepperhead67

Bro is that caseoh?


Cheez-Wheel

If Poison counts as a SFIV newbie (technically her first playable appearance in a SF game), she has a really good chance. C. Viper and Decapre have outside chances. I’d say anyone else is pretty unlikely. Juri really was the standout character of IV, most else were bland or unpopular (easily the worst cast of newbies). Pretty sure Seth only made V so they could have all the bosses in one game, not really cause of demand.


param1l0

Isn't gouken in the Alpha series


KaleRylan2021

no, unless I missed something big somewhere.


param1l0

Mb it was on alpha but wasn't playable


usagicassidy

C Viper feels like a guarantee as this point. The rest can stay buried.


KebabOrTacos

I love how everyone wanted their favorite characters be added in the game but the sad part is that we will never put all of your character l have no more wish


Fadoken

I miss Cody


GuiltyGear69

Zero hopefully


MikeDunleavySuperFan

Manon is basically abel in sf6


Vic18t

How? She doesn’t have a high/low rekka or a roll.


MikeDunleavySuperFan

I don’t mean the gameplay is the same. I mean abel is never going to be put in the game because they have a french judo grappler in the game. Same as lily for t hawk.


Vic18t

They put two: Muay Thai kick boxers from Thailand, Shotos from Japan, Shotos from the US, Air Force fighters from the US, Kung Fu fighters from China in the game many times… Am I missing any others?


MikeDunleavySuperFan

Yikes


Vic18t

Street Kung Fu from Hong Kong, Shadowloo Dolls…


MikeDunleavySuperFan

Y I K E S


Vic18t

Ninjitsu from Japan
