Vanilla SF4: 25 characters. Vanilla SF5: 16 characters. Vanilla SF6: ??

[OyajiBR☕]

First, criticism is not hatred, SF5 Champion Edition is my favourite 2D fighting game ever (and I'm from SF2 time). Second, some people say, "but you barely use 2 characters", which is irrelevant because I use far more than 2 and even players who use only 1 enjoy more content. We're not in the 90s anymore, games evolved and a fighting game with less than than 20 characters (again vanilla SF4 had 25) is too little. More and more it feels like buying the vanilla version of a game is like paying for a demo, because half or most of the content come in DLCs now. And I know other games do that, but vanilla SF5 took it a bit too far.
Business business, I understand, but how far does our tolerance to pay more for less go? I hope vanilla SF6 has more than vanilla SF5 otherwise I'll just wait for expansions and sales... again.

The original version of SF4 was the arcade version and that came with 17 characters

But regardless, the launch roster for SF6 already got leaked. It's 22 characters

This page from 2008 (SF4 release) says 25: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2008-12-19-complete-street-fighter-iv-full-character-roster.html Either way, thank you for telling me the roster number of SF6. That's good news.

Not that we are not 100% sure its 22 characters, but the leak of some concept art highly suggests that its going to be 22 characters.

There could be a scenario where some characters leaked will be DLC.

I honestly don't care that much about number of character. Anything from 12 up is good enough for me.

The flop of SFV was not the lack of characters, it was the lack of content.. single player arcade mode most of all.

SF6 seems to be putting this front centre with something that looks like a very interesting and fun single player story type of thing.

I know all that. But after so many sequels Street Fighter must have more than 70 characters, so very few people would be happy with less than 20 at this rate. I wasn't in vanilla SF5 and waited for DLCs and sales. About the story, there's too much protagonism on Luke, a guy few people care about, so I hope that open world mode can be played with others too, people will prefer to play with their main.

The number of characters is not nearly as important as the single player content, the gameplay and the online. If they only have 12 characters at launch, but nail every single other aspects of the game, I'll be happy. They can always add characters later.

Your expectations are completely unrealistic. 70 characters?
You sound like Randy Scott (google it). Video games don't get made like that. You don't press a button and the character is made. Each character is being redesigned from scratch.. from visuals, to animations, moves and everything in between. It takes a lot of work to bring each character to standard. 70 characters would mean the game would take 6 years to make.
