Very small roster...

[Chumm]

Are there any plans to add more characters?
I played Bleach Heat of the Soul 15 years ago with way more characters than this game.

You people are clearly on drugs, small roster... LOL

it's easy to make a "big roster" when you recicle 100% of your content for next games, go ahead, run and tell me how many games have 33 characters on their first game, not using any recicled content, and with custom mechanics for each one of the characters

I think this is a difference in expectations between a more traditional fighting game and a arena fighter.
SF6 launched with only 18 playable characters, after season two is done that will include 8 more through DLC
Sparking zero has 182 playable characters.
Larger rosters are fun, everyone likes em but they make a game near impossible to balance

Bleach is getting at least 4 more characters as DLC though, buts its not going to have a much bigger roster then it already has. Unless they decide to add free characters which is unlikely.

The fidelity and production values cause the cost of creating unique individual characters to rise greatly and as a result we lack duplicate characters and large original rosters. most other games tend to be sequels with shared assets and this game doesn't have that luxury. More DLC characters are on the way but this is what you get on the first go. I will say it's a pretty solid launch roster.

Why does izuru Kira have six bars of light Rikujokoro.... only Kuchiki can do that....... Why do I have to pay money for the basic shinigami like Momo or even Omeada and the espada they missed.. sad that there are giants but no giant yammy or Aizen has heirro armor but no playable arrancar... since they didn't have costumes with different move sets or even costumes in general (they even make both the default if u are vs same person).. Ishin Shiba Kurasaki is also in the espada arc but I guess they just didn't feel like covering everyone... So many characters straight up removed or not even finished..... At least patch the descriptions...... Tessai, Ururu? I mean not like the characters are equal at all anyway

I guess it does have quite a few characters for a no assests arena game but I wouldn't say this game covers all character incredibley well or doesn't recycle any character mechanics... The 18 characters in the base game of SF6 sure convinced me to remove it from my wishlist... I really wanted that on the next sale it had too.....

oh it also really bothered me that Yachiru Retsu Onohana in the secret story can't actually break ur konpaku and do a cutscene and it took me like 7 minutes to get her to do the damage on extreme....

...? How is SF6 for customization...? and single player? Soul calibur 6 had everyone's story so far in a timeline and an infinite custom character story mode with upgradeable weapons and slightly more base character at 21.. And i like xenoverse 1 a lot!!... xenoverse 2 wasnt bad but insanely easier and a much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ story,,,, I didn;t like fighterz or Kakarot. And i prefer tenkaichi 3 than budokai 3 but both i end up playing every year...

The roster is fine. Every character is unique & has a distinct playstyle.

I also played bleach HOS and let me remind you a third of them operate like clones

33 characters in a completely new game is considered small? what?
To the guy saying Heat the soul had more characters.... yeah, that series also had SEVEN f*cking games, the first HOS game had 6 playable characters, SIX!

SF6 has a pretty decent Story mode as far as traditional fighting games go, its a barebones open world sort of thing that you play as a character you design and can build a custom moveset using any of the moves of the "actual" characters in the game. You can also fight against other peoples custom avatars online.
But Outside of that SF6 is not really designed for customization.
If you did not enjoy DBFighterz and preferred tenkaichi 3 you probably wont like SF6.
