On future characters.

[Castyles]

I skipped SFV so I don't even know how many years of support it had but, just for the sake of the idea, let's assume SF6 is gonna have support for the next six years.

Here's what you're gonna get:
-Six characters per "season", instead of four.
-One for each previous "complete" game (SSF2, Alpha 3, Third-Strike, USFIV, SFV) and one SF6 newcomer.

Now, just for fun, let's assume the proposed pack up above left the ideal world and became the real deal. Since one character is brand new and you don't have the knowledge of the unknown, which previous characters would you pick for said pack?

Honestly, I'd like to have LOTS so who I want changes all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. Now, however, I'm just gonna pick the characters based on:
1)Gameplay variety.

Honestly, how many of the same cookie-cutter chargers, rekkas, zoners, powerhouses, shotos and grapplers do we actually need? We already have Kimberly. We don't need Guy/Ibuki. We already have Ryu/Ken/Akuma. We don't need Dan. We already have Marisa. We don't need Abigail. We already have Lily. We don't need T-Hawk. And so on and so forth.

2)Setting.

Obviously those who actually fit the idea of street fighting i.e NOT BLANKA NOR DHALSIM. (Well, ♥♥♥♥. Tough luck.) Nor any "mutants", for that matter (even though Necro and Twelve are cool).

"B-bUt RyU sHoOtS fIrEbAlLs!!!!11" You're missing the point. They must blend in. That's all.

3)Story. Characters that just NEED to have a good reason to make a come back.

With that said, here are my picks:
SSF2: Vega.
Alpha 3: Cody.
Third-Strike: Makoto.
USFIV: El Fuerte.
SFV: Falke.

What about you?

[IndieSmack]

I will pretty much agree with that, with 1 major exception:

You THINK you want Fuerte back.
You REALLY DON'T WANT FUERTE BACK. His squeaky ass shoes still haunts my nightmares. If a 4 rep should be picked, I'd say C.Viper.

C. Viper, Rolento and Poison were my main picks for SFIV but I thought C. Viper would be better for another pack that isn't the second one. And if I picked Poison or Rolento I'd have to switch Falke for Zeku. And we already have Kimberly.

So El Fuerte, with his unique playstyle, was, indeed, the better choice. Would you have preferred Hakan? I think not.

Capcom already fixed F.A.N.G.'s stupidity. They are also capable of fixing El Fuerte's.

On the subject, the only goofy AND stupid characters the series truly deserve = Dan and Rufus.

Sodom is stupid, but he's not goofy. Rashid is goofy but he's not stupid. Difference is subtle but it's there.

Hoping to see Sakura back.

I don't envy whoever is in charge of picking DLC characters at Capcom. There are too many Street Fighter characters now, and when you combine that with SF6's base roster being way too conservative, I think people are going to be pissed with season 2 no matter who they choose.

They just have to be smart. They know who the popular fan favorites are. At least half the additions should be them.

If you want ELF back I assume you're more of a fan of goofy characters rather than someone who actually plays the game

[Danny DeVito with a Gun]

Those who want El Fuerte back have not fought against El Fuerte

[processor.dev1l]

Well, I will not mention Akuma that we know we are getting... Makoto and Elena from SF3 would be nice. Dudley also need to make a comeback because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, we need a good boxer.

For the maybes:
Twelve would be nice, because I really want to see how he'd look in RE Engine. Same with Necro, Q, and Remy. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, a good Remy player in SF6 would be unstoppable!

She has a over 9000 chance of coming back. Fear not.

Sakura and Sean are the only shotos I wouldn't mind because they're very different from all the "classic" ones i.e Ryu/Ken/Akuma/Dan/Gouken/whatever.

You know what happens when you assume, don'tcha? "You just make an ass out of you and me."

[Grampire]

I want Viper.

[Flash stopper]

You list a bunch of archetypes you don't want in, then proceed to list the characters you want back that are apart of those archetypes ???

[「Blackmore」]

There are 2 x one time characters that I'd love to return but they were not popular characters in their respective game, however I feel they could work in SF6.

I've no idea what you're smoking. All the ones I listed, gameplay-wise are WAY different than what we actually have right now.

Which ones? Tell us.

...

Gonna make another list, later. "DLC pack #3". Just for fun. Liked thinking about that ♥♥♥♥. Don't even care if ya'll agree with me or not.

YOU were the one to list these archetypes and say that more of them aren't needed, not my fault if you conveyed what you meant poorly.

You also confuse characters that are visually similar to characters that are ACTUALLY similar, Ryu does not operate like Akuma and even less so like Dan. Sakura however a character you somehow think ISN'T a "classic" shoto is very similar to sf6 ken.

The only really unique chars you have there are Fuerte and Vega but they are also some of the worst gameplay designs across the whole series.

Not at all. I listed examples of characters that are the same damn thing as the ones we currently have, right now i.e all the previous ninjas = Kimberly. Maybe save for Guy but he's just way too boring.

One can dash and throw air fireballs while the other doesn't even know how to pull a hadou or a metsu. What a huge difference.

SF6 Ken isn't a classic shoto, though *wink*

That's your opinion. But I agree with Vega, back when he was still a charger. They fixed him, though.

Cody, Makoto and Falke don't look like anybody of the current roster, btw.
