Can you the name what you think the shotos are? I mean a lot of people can do the fireball anti air game but real shotos I only say Luke Ken Ryu. Chun Kim Juri aren’t imo. Not tryna be an ahole just curious
Well if you think about it sf game has ken, ryu, akuma, saget, chun, dan, and rose. Thats not all of them but I get it. They are not all the same when it comes to thete combo, but they are shoto. I would love to see all 3 boxers in one game for once.✌🏾
Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Kage, Dan, Sakura? The first four I'd say all fit being shotos, while Dan and Sakura each have a special move or two in the "shoto trinity" that's a little bit different in function. Dan's Gadoken isn't really there as a zoning tool like the others (same for Kage's Hadoken but he has Shakunetsu to compensate) while Sakura's Shouoken is a bit less of an antiair than the standard Shoryuken. Dankukyaku and Shunpukyaku look different from the standard tatsu, but function similarly enough. The moves still have their uses and I count Dan and Sakura as "close enough" shotos, unlike Gouken or Sean who I'd count as "shoto-offshoots."
@@MrMegaman1417 Luke is not a shoto. A shoto has a horizontal fireball, A forward advancing KICK move that crushes Lows and a Dragon punch. Luke is not a shoto
Makoto was 2nd most popular character voted (behind Sakura) in all of SF. Maybe after adding Ed a character a lot of people weren't excited about, give us a fan favourite.
@@LouisAugusteBecause Elena was complete bullshit and all the tierhos played her due to it. A character doesn't need to be completely broken to make it into the game in my opinion.
Ed was always dope tho. Sf v newcomers are always gonna be sour to ppl just because they’re associated with sf v. Same reception felt for rashid in 6. Even tho Ed and rashid are great additions to the game. And sf v has a really bad reputation even tho think it deserves more respect nowadays
@@LouisAuguste Depends on your interpretation. The popularity of the character for himself/herself is different from the character being a popular pick because he/she is good to play, strong, etc... Competitive factors. The competitive viewpoint can make even stupid or zero charisma characters popular picks. There are also characters who are difficult to play in average to low skill levels, which affects their usage rates. So what the op comment shows is that a lot of fans love Makoto regardless.
I personally think Menat is a much better pick than Rose for SF6. She is a fan favorite and her playstyle is very fun and unique. Id like to see how they adapt her currently.
@@Dirge_Prime And how long are they plan to keep this charade with Bison keep coming back as if he's immortal. They try that with 3rd Strike with Gill and that didn't plan well and they did that with SF4 with Seth and that didn't plan well either. We can't rinse and repeat having to bring Shadaloo back everytime after Bison is defeated again, I know he's like a fan favorite but come on with something new and original.
The Shadaloo storyline doesn't need to be continued for heavenly kings to come back......fighting games don't even have amazing stories, just make them selectable characters if nothing else lol.
We need more characters that aren’t from SF2. It was crazy that the base roster of Street Fighter 6(Before Rashid and Ed) consisted of Street Fighter 2 characters, new characters, and Juri.
Capcom just idiot. I waited C. Viper until end of Sf V. I think she was best female character they ever created in gameplay, appearense, style, personality wise...
The ones I would love to see are Fei Long, T. Hawk, Adon, Makoto, Karin, Sakura, Elena, Ibuki, El Fuerte, Falke, Sagat, Vega, Balrog, Dudley, Yun, Yang, Sean, Laura, Rolento, Guy, Cody, Maki, Carlos, Dean, Lucia, Haggar, Sodom, Rose, Menat, Necro, and M. Bison.
As long as you dont rage about his moveset not being similar to the classic one. Im curious about how he would play, but i dont care too much about him like a "main", so im not biased either. Im not attached to any of his movesets.
I think him and the other Shadaloo bosses are being replaced with new characters or characters that storywise is meant to be replacing the former bosses
@@MaryC861 Oh no where I just thought that because of all the characters that are replaced with successors including A.K.I. being a student of F.A.N.G. and Ed did study under Balrog. Plus it is suggested that Lily learned to fight from T. Hawk's teachings. So basically two (three if you include JP replacing M. Bison) of the Shadaloo bosses have been replaced so why not Vega too. But I'm mainly just guessing
@@ArbitraryOutcome I kinda get that, but you can very well argue characters like: Gief, Honda, Balrog, and Dudley are just "Average Joe's" then. They don't call upon any mystical superpower either. They're just masters of their art and archetype, just like Makoto. Idk, it was just a weird thing to hear.
@@ArbitraryOutcome So she out there playing Virtua Fighter while everyone else tossing fireballs and flying across the fightline while inverted, spread eagled and spinning
We need a lot of inspiration characters in street fighter 6: we need a Bruce Lee, IP man, Jet li, Jean Claude van damme mix up with terminator and tommy Oliver (alignment)
Honestly, the fact that Urien wasn't on the main roster for SF6 was kind of a gag (though tbh, having no SF3 characters on the main roster given SF6 takes place after SF3 is my main gripe with the game).
@@AnonymousC2218 Regardless, it's not right to act practically like the game and those chars don't exist. They belong in the future timeline, and SF6 was meant to be in the future timeline, then how come every single of them is disregarded for the base roster? I dont even mean filling the game with SF3 chars, but how come not even 1 slot is worthy?
Yeah, I said that because I'd be worried about giving a character who already is programmed to do all that SF6 Drive mechanics to do it with even more oppressive force.
@@ektran4205that would make him even more busted Ngl, having air control and better jumpins with air fireball, gouken only had it because he didn’t have a shoryuken
Please don’t bring back Bison. Let the story move on for the love of God. Vega, Balrog, and Sagat would all be better picks. A lot of people don’t care about the story, I get that. But there are those who do, so it’s really just better to not bring him back at least for now. If he does come back. Give him the SFV Seth treatment. He’s just there for a little bit but has nothing to do with the main story. A glorified cameo.
Just give his moveset to a new character. Its not fair on Bison players to get screwed over by a story 99% of players don't want or care about. Whilst the rest of the SF2 cast (mostly) just get free appearances in every game.
The Ed rework kind of made me lose hope they’d bring back Dudley. The the rolls and machine gun blow their gameplay would visually look too similar outside of the flicker gimmicks. Before I saw Ed gameplay I was hoping dudley but I’m less confident now.
@@kingexplosion2036 there’s always more shotos than any other archetype. I’d expect balrog before Dudley now tbh. I want Dudley don’t get me wrong. But the copium has dwindled.
sf6 characters are a lot more work to make overall, but I agree that at least five would much much better both for filling out the currently-sparse roster and for making the pace of character releases better.
Four characters for each season to me is a great idea but the whole game needs 32 30 for retuning and new and 2 for crossovers from other games. (Tifa Lockhart and Leon Kennedy sounds good to me)
Fans want fan favorites in.....Capcom is adding new characters that have no demand over the classics.....if a season is an entire year there needs to be at least 5 - 6 characters in my opinion. 4 is not bad but they can slow down once more characters make it in too.
There are a lot they could add. I think Sean should have been DLC this season especially after having his younger version in 5. I know people don’t care for sf storyline but I think the dlc characters should be based off where they are in the whole of the story. Everyone has gotten older. I would like to see a more refined version of makoto who has an established dojo. Akira would be cool. Sodom or Rolento as well.
My picks/guesses for s2: Sakura, Sagat, Makoto, Cody. I think that's what would make the overall fanbase happy and bring representation for all the games that aren't currently in 6. I'd say Dudley and Bison are very likely for later seasons.
@@2Namii It never prevented them to be all in the same game and they are among the most popular caracters. Also Sagat isn't a shoto and doesn't play like them. And it does'nt matter if some people find them boring. They'll bring money and that's what matters to Capcom.
@@TiredAslShe was cool in SF4 very technical and hard to use, had a lovely badass design and overall a siiick character her moves were cool. I loved seeing that Burning Kick and the Thunder Knuckle hated playing against her too lol.
The problem with bringing Bison back isn't that it would be 'stupid' or something to bring back someone who's supposed to be dead, but that Bison coming to SF6 just plays more into this game's current issue of not being able to move on from SF2, as well as the real problem is that it just completely takes away from any effort Capcom is trying to make to have a new villain with JP and a new direction with the Shadaloo arc with Ed. It's not a matter of if Bison CAN come back, it's about if he SHOULD, and I really think it's time to retire the character for a bit.
I don't mind Bison coming back but he should either not be a part of the main story (maybe a disembodied ghost, maybe in an alternative reality), but I never want to see him as the big bad again in the main story. So tired of that story beat
I can already see Urien in the working perfectly in this game. Agesis could be a lvl 1 super meaning he can do multiple His lvl 2 could be his sf5 super the big electric dunk And his lvl 3 can just be some cinematic beatdown he would be great!
I agree with the takes here so much and the explosiveness or uniqueness certain characters bring.......I've only played SF 4 previously but my personal picks for SF 6 include: C. Viper, Dudley, Balrog, M. Bison, Vega, Sagat, Makoto, Ibuki, Urien, Oro, Q, Elena, Rose, Menat, Sakura, Dan, Sean, Karin, Rolento, Cody, Guy, R. Mika, Alex, Hugo, Adon, and Fei Long!!!
I had made up a DLC "Want Back" tier list and my top 7 ended up being Viper, Laura, Sean, Mika, Alex, Makoto and Gouken. In that order. It is definitely time to get C Viper back.
Yeah I can feel it......Capcom is definitely looking to bring in some heavy hitting crowd favorites! I've only played SF 4 previously but my personal picks for SF 6 include: C. Viper, Dudley, Balrog, M. Bison, Vega, Sagat, Makoto, Ibuki, Urien, Oro, Q, Elena, Rose, Menat, Sakura, Dan, Sean, Karin, Rolento, Cody, Guy, R. Mika, Alex, Hugo, Adon, and Fei Long!!!
@@TheSoulCrisis you have an awesome likes but in this pack you can only pick 5 4 in a single pack and one for the final season in this case the 4th pack (2 crossover, 1 classic and 1 new)
C. Viper and Makoto are the only characters I want even though I have love for other characters. I just don't know how they could make her in this version of the game.
I kinda disagree with M. Bison. Besides JP it's strongly implied that Ed could unintentionally go down the same path as M. Bison. That's something interesting to explore. At the very least bring back M. Bison but don't make him canon in the story. What I do agree with is that Dudley vs Ed would be an interesting matchup given their style and age differences. But besides those characters I think we need a few more grapplers. I wanna see Alex, El Fuerte, Sodom and Hakan.
No boss SFII characters (Bison, Balrog, Vega, Sagat). I feel like the original 8 is all the SFII representation we need. They hold the vanguard and allow a new supporting cast to step in. Plus, Balrog is so frustrating. Remake characters that didn't get their due the first time around - Ed(yep), Hakan, Necro, Gouken, El Fuerte, etc.
Street Fighter 6 competitor fighting games right now have a Bruce Lee character, Tekken 8 has it, Mortal Kombat has it only Street Fighter 6 is missing it These 3 games are the big 3 fighting games, the first character of season 2 dlc should absolutely be Fei Long
As unlikely as it is, I personally still want Twelve back and completely revamped. They could lean into his lizard alienish aspects and make him even more monstrous. Even better if he has a shapeshift or move steal mechanic. 13 is bad luck in many cultures so they would probably rename him Fourteen, which would fit the whole “similar but different” thing they did with Lily and AKI.
I don’t understand why they keep making completely new characters, they have so many characters in cannon they’ve never used or characters they introduced and never used again. Abigail in sfv is a great example of introducing a character already in cannon. They should do Mike haggard for sure in my opinion. We need more big guys, hopefully one that isn’t a grappler. Too many female hot characters are being introduced. Need somebody who’s big and badass and hurts.
Sean - because he's a cool design and has a lot of potential if reworked and brought back as more of an MMA style fighter, as Luke does a terrible job of this. Sagat or Adon - preferably Adon to represent Muay Thai. I'm surprised there's no Muay Thai representative in the game. Yun and Yang - or at least Yang because it's been a while since he was playable and he could be a really neat addition. C.Viper - because I feel like she'd suit being in this game, and she'd probably have interesting lore.
That's a good reminder, no Muay Thai representation is strange. And i never made up my mind about Sagat or Adon. By lore maybe Sagat has less chances because of his latest story developments. By gameplay i think Adon would be more interesting because he is a melee fighter and this game's systems favors offense and crazy combos.
Alex, Makoto, and Cody would be my top 3 with Dudley and Gouken being 4th and 5th. Makoto and dudley are practically built for this game. Give cody back his knife, his rocks, and his criminal upper and maybe ditch the zonk knuckle. Alex is trickier to fit, would love for his ddt to be a regular special move again. Brawler/grappler hybrid is an awesome archetype and marisa needs some competition Gouken is a unique twist on our beloved shotos and and should be given more love and time to be part of the series
Totally because I'm a story buff and I'm also an obscure character guy. We need Sean and Necro! Sean has always been a joke character in 3 but they saw how well people have received him in terms of personality. He's been shown to have done some training like Dan has, so I'd love to see some growth in his abilities like we did for Dan in 5. Also, I would love to retool Necro into SF6 and still have him be a Stun based character.
Luke stole quite a few of Sean's Moves though.. but It be cool if they replace Luke with Sean ^^ Just let Luke get crushed by a Roadroller to free up that Spot for Sean in some patch
@@RyuNoZero Luke may have Sean's moves but that's like telling all the Bruce fans of Tekken that they can't have him because Josie and now Azucena has some of his moves. Bring Sean back and show the years of training we missed out on and he'll probably have some new moves up his sleeves.
Season 2: Gouken, Sakura, Rainbow Mika, Vega. Season 3: M. Bison, Dudley, Karin, Oro Season 4: Terry Bogard, Someone from Darkstalkers (probably Morrigan, Ingrid, Oni
@@KenMasters. I'd be down with that. Love the werewolf. I think Morrigan, Demitri, Jedah, or maybe even Donovan are more likely, but Jon definitely might be a fan favorite choice.
I personally just want Rose, but what they *should* do is represent Alpha and SF3 more with the DLC. There are no characters currently from those games in 6 since they prioritized World Warrior characters and new stuff, then a bit of 4 and 5 with Juri and Rashid. I say this not really caring for any SF3 characters myself Seeing that, Dudley/Makoto are definitely high priority, and obviously also Sakura, Rose, Karin, and even Sodom who they keep mentioning as an intention - I don't know how this character would sell, but they do love their oddballs. Once at least a couple of SFA/SF3 characters are in the books, then they can and should look back on SF4 and 5 (Viper, for sure, G, Kolin and Menat), and then finish out important SF2 (Sagat, Bison) and new SF6 characters.
mostly for myself for reference - I read A LOT of these comments last night and it seems that the numbers break down like this (from memory): Mentioned the most: Dudley Beyond that, many said: Bison (but also in the context of doing something different, and because he was a large part of the discussion), Sagat, C. Viper A good amount: Makoto, Sakura, Cody, Vega, G, Menat (a bit more often than Rose), Rose, Yun and Yang, Violent Ken (haha it makes sense?), Fei Long, Poison Several: Dan, Sean, Hakan, Akira, Urien, Necro, Maki, Dean, Eagle, Guy, R. Mika 2+: Lucia, Karin, Kolin, Q, Remy, Decapre, Rolento, Alex, Abel, Adon, Gen, Balrog, Bosch, Carlos, Twelve, Oni and/or different Akumas, Elena, Gouken, Ibuki, Laura, Li-Fen, Oro, Sodom, Tiffany Lords, Zeku Once: World Tour people not Bosch/Carlos (yes including Retsu), Captain Sanada, Ingrid, Belger, Hugo, Mel and/or other "kids" Just tangentially or in part of a huge list: Abigail, El Fuerte, Rufus, an EX character, other Final Fight villains (Edi. E etc) None at all: Birdie, FANG, T. Hawk, Juni, Juli, most other SF1 characters, Kage, Necalli, Seth (I think?), Nash - although someone had the very cool idea of Bison reviving into Nash's body. That's some crazy storytelling ...OKAY I think that's about it? I didn't read every comment, but certainly a few hundred at least
Street Fighter really doesn't NEED Bison imo. Honestly Capcom should do 6 characters for S2 amd they should be Makoto Dudley C. Viper Laura Sagat Sean(Personal pick) Imo SF6 DLC needs this because S1 has been sorta lukewarm tho AKI has been the mlst interesting so far
@@AnonymousC2218 Face it .... Most new characters never catch on. El fuerte and hakan was too gimmicky Juri replaced c.viper Rufus is a clown Decapre was a huge fail Abel is a boring gender swap cammy Street fighter 3 is a cult classic Falke is hard to use Meant ain't no rose Laura ....... Game needs new blood !
It is shameful indeed and there were some pretty cool characters in SF3. Not a fan of every newcomer in SF3 but the majority were cool. Personally I didn't like Urien. I really, really want to see Necro & Sean in season 2. Aside from those two Dudley, Elena, Remy, Q, or Twelve would be nice. Ibuki is great but she could probably sit one out after being in 3 games straight. The other SF3 newcomers I'm pretty neutral on.
Honestly they should bring back characters that deserve to be back like Alex Fei Long Remy Necro Abel Hakan Q/G Menat Laura but definitely Alex for Season 2
The lack of Final fight characters here is sad. You steal their city and not use them? If Cody isn't voice by Kenny, he would be neat. Lucia would be my favorite pick for a Final fight character, she was fun in V and Gamerbee was awesome to watch with her. Poison seems unlikely now that ED took all of her things. Kolin from your list would be my pick if I had to stick to yours.
This game's base roster messed up particularly about not having at least a single one SF3 char and at least one FF char. Those two chars would make the most sense in a game (1) in the future timeline, (2) and set in Metro City.
1. Would love C Viper back 2. Dudley I would be down for if it was his king cobra design, that one is a lot better 3. would love to have Sean from 3rd strike in the game.
Capcom hates 3rd S and they hate Sean. It's obvious they are not bringing Sean back; the evidence? DeeJay has already taken the niche of the "caribbean guy", also Luke is basically a rehashed Sean if you think about it.
@@RebornOdin dude the entire aesthetic and vibe of sf6 is literally just 3rd strike. 3rd strike is revered as one of the best in the series by many casuals and professionals alike. Evo moment 37 anyone? It's ridiculous to not have even 1 3rd strike character yet they butchered alex happily in 5. It's sad honestly and I was hyped at launch but now the game feels stale and every dlc has been cool. But still feels like wasted potential. Every season after this will be better guaranteed, nowhere to go but up lmao
Great video. I would love to see C Viper and Dudley but I would also like to see a couple of guest characters ideally from Rival Schools and Dark Stalkers (Morrigan or Talbain) 🦇
The "guy on the left" is Veloc1raptor. Watch his Gouken SF4 matches if you haven't already - he 1000% knows his shit. The guy on the right is more a fan of the lore than a competitive player, which is still a valuable perspective IMO, but you're right he definitely knows less than Veloc1raptor when it comes to the hardcore FGC community.
Gouken is in my Top3 too! Even I - a mediocre player at best at that time - got a few positive messages when I played Gouken and how stylish he can be. My other two in the Top3 are Sagat and Menat. I guess I like zoners. Rose is one of my favorites as well!
@@conradojavier7547he has inhabited very different looking bodies before even Cammy apparently? Lol but pick something interesting and different like a reskin but with the same big psycho grin etc. Could be freaky af
I dont think this game will bring back the same movesets from old games, it is changing everyone. But if you meant bring back Cody's SFA costume then ok.
@@carlosaugusto9821 I’d rather have closer to sf4 Cody moveset but I didn’t dislike what they did to him in 5. I just missed my criminal upper and sf4 zonk which if they put him in 6, I’d hope they bring back.
What would really be dope is if they added the characters they already introduced in World Tour as free DLC, like Carlos, Retsu, Sheng Long, and Azam. Even Bosch! If not free, then let them be paid for with in-game currency like Drive Tickets or Zenny and 50 Fighter Coins.
So.......in Street Fighter 6, after Akuma released in THIS SPRING when Year 1 is finished, I agree with 7 characters in DLC Year 2/Season 2 of Street Fighter 6! My predictions Street Fighter 6 of 7 characters in DLC Season 2 is: Elena Karin Kanzuki Cody Yun Yang 1 new character from Greece and 1 new character from Australia! That's the new characters and new look of Street Fighter 6 Season 2 DLC 2 days at a times!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree with you! I want Karin cause she's on Alpha series and Street Fighter 5! I think Lauren Landa had amazing voice on SF5 and now in Season 2 DLC, I want Karin back.🤗🤗🤗🤗
No one is asking for him...but I'd love Remy coming back. He'd be a very good pick as a foil for someone like Luke. Yeah he was a guile clone, but it would be nice to see a modern rendition. He could be more mellow now, no longer seeking revenge, instead searching for a purpose.
Nah let him stay dead. Seriously he's been in every game except 3. He can sit out another game, and just like in 3 it was more than likely for lore reasons. Also if Bison comes back that just means this entire series is heavily carried by SF2. It's time to move on.
An astute observation. This entire series is carried by its legacy characters, especially SF2 characters. That is why they are heavily featured in licensing and games. This is not a bad thing. Most video game companies would kill for IPs that have Capcom's brand recognition. If you want to move on from what is fundamentally and quintessentially Street Fighter, please do. Go play Tekken or MK.@@AzureSkull76
Dudley, C.Viper, Zeku, Makoto and Sean. Honourable mentions: Laura (would have preferred her instead of Blanka, plus the only newcomer with Rashid i thought would be a lock in, she's gorgeous and has a great combos/mechanics) Menat (a bit more than Rose but i adore Rose as a character so sexy and very versatile) Others id want: Alex, Elenna on advantages they have Vitality regen so it wouldn't be hard to do that for her and Eagle love the battons and We've had rolento in SF4. I'd love Seth again.
Please for the love of god, Capcom add Urien I'm no good with charge characters but Urien just vibed with me so much with the play style & hype & just overall character for me he's indispensable.
SF6 is about the new generation after SF3, so Menat should take Rose's spot. Laura as BJJ representative with crazier grapple mechanics, Fei Long & Dudley's overdue return missing since SF4, & Sakura since she's the most requested
Rival Schools characters. Akira was superb fun in SF5. Seeing Hinata and Tiffany as background characters (Kanzuki Beach stage) was hype. Any of those two would be a great addition to SF6. Other characters (Batsu, Kyosuke, Roy, etc...) I've said this once, I'll say it again... if Capcom ain't making a new Rival Schools game, they should at least continue including its characters into Street Fighter. Can you imagine the potential chain combos they could pull off from the drive rush commands? I sure can. lol
I hope the current SF makers consider saving an obligatory char slot to Rival Schools from now on. They made an important step to improve the lore consistency of the SF franchise. The truth is that the older SF devs (since the 90s) were on a mistake by never adding RS to new SF games. So that long time negligence makes Akira's debut feel like a "guest char" to some fans, but RS actually belongs to the SF world. The SF devs in the 90s maybe were biased against RS because it was a new and uncertain franchise... but the pure logic of excluding RS just doesnt make sense, in the same period they were adding Final Fight chars to SF (starting in SFA1 from 95). And not few chars: A1 got some, and A2 and A3 got more. So it is a contradictory and biased decision, probably just because FF at that time was a popular and influential franchise (and it was still alive). In short: FF was included and RS was excluded for financial-related factors and not a respect for lore. Which is very sad and disappointing to realize. But this new SF duo of producers finally fixed that mistake of many decades in SF5's last season.
@@carlosaugusto9821 The new guys that are running the fighting game division seem to care very much. I'm sure the next DLC seasons are going to at least have a RS character or two.
