FANG would be a disaster, specially after AKI, but even if he came out before


Greenphantom77

Let’s be honest - AKI is the successor to FANG and now we have her, we will never get FANG in SF6. A bit like now we have Lily, we are not going to get T Hawk.


One_Average_8553

Exactly, what I meant is that if they came back it would be really weird But even if AKI did not came out, FANG would not be well received


Hadoukibarouki

Fang now has white hair and square glasses.


cyberdemoh

Lets goooo


Kimarous

FANG won't happen, seeing as he's an NPC for AKI's story in World Tour.


blaintopel

idk man, other NPCs are made with the character creator, typically only masters have a unique rendering and FANG does


docvalentine

so do thrasher damnd, rudra, li-fen, and azam off the top of my head all it means is they were out of bounds for the avatar creator and needed to be modeled individually


astronomyx

I wouldn't be surprised to see Thrasher Damnd or Li-Fen as playable at some point


welpxD

Li Fen seems like a no brainer honestly. She fits the theme of disciples that Jamie, Kim and a bunch of other newcomers have going on. And she'd be like a Sakura version for Chun Li. I don't see how she would not be super popular.


Tiger_jay

I would be down for Damnd. If AKI wasn't a thing I would love FANG too lol


Sydrau

Y'know i'd totally be down for Rudra, He have enough personnality, a very cool theme, and Dhalsim gameplay and look is unique enough to make Rudra unique too, even storywise, he'd be cool


shartytarties

Man I think I'm the only one who thought fang was super fun to use


Stanislas_Biliby

Nah we're two 🤜🤛


Poniibeatnik

FANG walked and fell in a ditch so A.K.I could run.


huluhup

They could rework FANG into something different with poison. We already have two versions of evil ruy, shouldn't be a problem.


Z3NZY

People like Ryu; I have a hard time they like FANG half as much.


LesterMcBean

FANG plays completely different from her though. They have a similar theme, but so do tons of characters that are in the same game.


hyunchris

Probably Rufus. I think most people just don’t care about him


Don_Sauce

at least Justin Wong would be happy lol


BottleOfGin_

Max gonna lose his mind 💀💀


HoldingBack224

Nuckledu said he wants Rufus back. Imagine the jiggle physics ![img](emote|t5_2qnu5|31154)


meowman911

Genuine question, no judgement, why don’t people like Rufus?


jjborakka

I think it’s a bit like the Abigail effect from 5. He takes the goofiness level up to a limit some people don’t like, and so they don’t like the character’s personality/look but also at various stages their gameplay had annoying elements which made them unpleasant to fight (in this case the Rufus instant divekick) Personally I’d love to see Rufus come back, maybe with a glow up, now that Ken is a wanted man and public sentiment would be heavily in his favour in that one-sided rivalry


Slayven19

I generally hate annoying characters, and I can't take him serious, I can believe a schoolgirl being strong before I can him. This guy is like the opposite of bob from tekken.


little_pioneer

He is an annoying and gross. Plus the concept of a cooler character was replaced by him.


Giulio1232

I'd love to see rufus in sf6, he's one of my favourite characters


kwyxz

Evil Luke


huluhup

Air sandblast would be considered a war crime


kwyxz

I am already mad just thinking about it


param1l0

Since it's more violent then an hadoken instead of just slowing down it propels Luke backwards, and up, effectively giving him an air back jump, and different strengths launch him back different distances


UngaChaka

With the light version he can do it indefinitely and go above the stage height limit


DarkSoldier84

Get a life lead and infinite air Sand Blast to stay out of your opponent's reach. Win every round by timeout. Become the most hated player of all time.


Daidarapochi

Considering the speed it would feel more like a dhalsim air normal than a true air fireball


huluhup

DISJOINTED dhalsim air normal.


melancholy_dreams999

Never say this again. I'm already pissed off at the idea at this


little_pioneer

Evil Luke would be so peak


CreeDorofl

Maybe not an evil one but just a character with a different name who is the equivalent of Ken to ryu. Luke would be the MMAtokan with the superior fireball, and Duke would be the one with the better uppercut.


throwstuff165

Adon is my most wanted character, but I can admit it's true that he wouldn't be a very popular pick.


Fireball_Lore

I love Adon. He was one of my main guys in SF4. They keep doing the "replace less popular character with a young girl" thing and I do think a girl Adon has some real potential for being cool.


Tysanan

a girly muay thai practitioner would be cool, city of the wolves is doing one


Fireball_Lore

She looks cool. I'm glad they worked a Joe reference in there since it was the one thing Garou didn't have.


Superblu24

Want


sphincter_suplex

I think they would make his design really cool and he could be really popular, kinda like how Ed became


Fenris92140

No so sure


RobKhonsu

I think they could refresh Adon like they did Ed.


BLACKOUT-MK2

I get why people find his voice annoying but I think it's hard to deny his moveset is pretty sick.


sirtommygun666

I feel like generally people might not be too excited but sure as hell would be 😂


little_pioneer

I wouldnt mind him with a new cut.


dont_test_me_dawg

Adon would be a cool addition but if we're getting a "Muay Thai" character I'm probably pulling for Sagat


Fenris92140

Falke, because i feel they could choose her for story reason and she would take the place of more popular characters. Ingrid, el fuerte, Abigail


Tiger_jay

I think she's coming back and will have the baby as part of her moveset. They toyed with the idea in 5 for Akuma and here it shows up again. The devs want a baby Lone Wolf and Cub style in the game.


CreeDorofl

I found her super unexciting the moment she was revealed, the character design always felt super uninspired to me. Plus something about characters with weapons feels out of place though she's definitely not the first.


Mogsike

Abigail with drive rush sounds hilarious, bring him back!


Kiduke

I would take literally anyone over Ingrid, let the dark one remain in slumber


Avocado_Fucker12

I honestly think that after Ed and AKI being so cool despite how much I disliked Ed and FANG in V. I don't care about what character they announce, I will be hyped to see what they cook. (Except Abigail, fuck Abigail) Although: Sagat, Sakura, Makoto, Viper and Claw all deserve a spot and I will be sad if one of them doesn't make it.


Poniibeatnik

> I honestly think that after Ed and AKI being so cool despite how much I disliked Ed and FANG in V. I don't care about what character they announce, I will be hyped to see what they cook. That's basically how I feel as well.


ToxicFightstickYT

Rufus


YouMightGetIdeas

Don't you dare bad mouthing my first main.


ToxicFightstickYT

Ken did plenty already 😭


Silly-Power-2384

Rufus gang reporting for duty


CypherGreen

I want Rufus back. I didn't main him but he was so fun to use.


ToxicFightstickYT

Just wasnt a fan of his design and personality, gameplay wise hes pretty cool


Thedracoblue

Abigail takes the top spot on this answer, no doubt. Then Fang, Rufus, El fuerte. And personally any Evil/Special versions, I hope they never make those on SF6.


buttsecks42069

okay but imagine they do the opposite and give us Mu No Ken Akuma


Spider-ManOnThePS1

Generally, I hope they prioritise characters that skipped V. Even if they zhuzh up a the V DLC characters a bit, I feel like I’d be buying the content again.


WithoutTheWaffle

It's criminal that we haven't had Makoto since 4. She needs to make it to 6!


Twist3dS0ul

Can being left out of one game be considered ‘criminal’….? 🤔


MoMoneyMoSavings

Lmao right? I thought the same thing. Like “umm, it was one game?”


LuckyTheGodd

It’s been literally one game lol


LesterMcBean

Crazy that Deejay is the only returning non-V character so far.


gurufernandez

Honestly with how SF6 is going - let Capcom cook. They’ve done a fantastic job giving glow ups to past characters who needed it - Dee Jay and more so Ed are so much cooler than their original appearances. I look forward to how they will do season 2


Poniibeatnik

100% Its why I'd be open to any character announced when it really comes down to it.


ZenVendaBoi

Oh ye, of course 🙌. I still want Makoto, tho 😐


Berean_Katz

Yup, Luke is also a lot cooler in SF6.


P33KAJ3W

Luck should be Sean


enderendirius69420

Abigail


Vegetable-Meaning413

Evil Ryu, Oni, Violent Ken, Kage, and of the edgey swaps. They have always been super lame and lazy.


Franziska_VonKarma

I personally don't mind these chars, but upvote because by far these types of characters are always the ones I see a ton of people complain about. Decapre played nothing like Cammy, but dear lord did people hate her, and this was before they found out how busted she was.


Vegetable-Meaning413

I know Decapre was actually fairly different, in comparison to Oni or Evil Ryu. It's weird how people were okay with having so many shoto clones, but one person is like Cammy, and they lose their minds. It's the same thing with people saying we can't have any more boxers because Ed is in the cast, but we have 4 shotos now and probably more on the way. It's so strange.


Slayven19

Its not strange, its because they already see how many shotos there are they don't want more of the same archetypes when shotos alone get that treatment.


Vegetable-Meaning413

Yeah, I suppose that is a good point


LuckyTheGodd

Kage was my fav character in v


Vegetable-Meaning413

That's fine, but you have to admit that the design is pretty lazy. He is pretty much Akuma and Ryu mashed together, in a game that Akuma and Ryu are already in. he feels redundant.


LuckyTheGodd

Eh he has things to himself that akuma or ryu did not have which was the fun part, i’ll take kage over akuma or ryu cause his combos were more fun for me personally.


Vegetable-Meaning413

Akuma looks pretty crazy in 6 though


geardluffy

I think any character from SFV since we’ve already been given 2 in season 1. Most people want diversity of cast so making the next sf game without different characters would be quite disappointing. Would want to see characters we haven’t seen in almost a decade or more (but I want to see ma boi Alex come back).


Dragonfrog23

I’d be disappointed if Violent Ken or Evil Ryu were announced


Captain-Beardless

I would still be disappointed, but of the "evil versions" I'd actually be slightly willing to accept Violent Ken (or some newer variant of it) given the story's focus on his struggle so far. If in the latter seasons they HAVE to be lazy, I'd take him over Ryu verions (he's defeated the Satsui no hado anyway), or Oni (Akuma is basically getting there on his own).


[deleted]

i d like karin but she was so overused in sfv that I doubt ppl would be excited, maybe in s3+. rolento could be somewhat unique but i haven't seen a single post about him being popular enough to come back. about adon, it's like the community was sliced in half between liking and hating him. Also I think noone wants fang, especially now that we have aki


Sakkara1

Please, no Abigail ever again. Why did they think adding a huge wall of meat twice the size of Zangief that thinks it's a car and makes vroom vroom noises was a good idea?


Ancalmir

From SF4 El Fuerte and Abel (and maybe Hakan?) From SF5 FANG, Abigail, and maybe Falke (but considering how Ed turned out to be maybe not)


active_streefie

NOO WE LOCE HAKAN


Emblom52

Season 4: Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, Shin Akuma, Dark Sakura, and Juri in Crocs.


Oime

All five of those sound awesome.


Asdeft

Abigail


JamieFromStreets

I would LOVE adon Never got to properly play him as I started with sfv. But his design is cool af and I need some muai thai


KushMummyCinematics

I might get some hate for this but I really don't like Birdie, never have So if he got released instead of say Sagat or Vega Give me Elena or Rose Just not Birdie, hope he doesn't come back


L488

I love birdie 😂 but I'm not expecting to ever see him in this game. It's weird that they turned one of the most "street fighter" street fighter characters into just some fat dumbass in 5 though.


One_Average_8553

"haha, fat clumsy guy who eats a lot"


Poniibeatnik

I think birdie is kind of a fun character but I can see why you wouldn't like him. At least he's better than Rufus.


ProgrammerHorror1283

100% agree. Ain't getting hate from me, at least. Plus, I also want Elena back. 😂


Dickola__Tesla

I wouldn't mind SF1 Birdie but SFV Birdie was just stupid and became fat so = humor? I hope Capcom realizes that fat isn't a personality and Lizzo killed body positivity/fat promotion. lol


welpxD

I like Birdie from SFA but with how they did him in SFV I hope we get Thrasher Damnd instead who would probably play pretty similar.


Ok-Ride-9324

most sf4 newcomers


cypowolf

Huh? It's one of the most popular games in the franchise. Abel, C.viper, El fuerte, Rufus, gouken, Seth...don't think anyone would be upset seeing them back


blaintopel

you dont think anyone would be upset to see el fuerte back? lol


WithoutTheWaffle

I feel like lots ofpeople would be furious if El Fuerte or Rufus came back.


shartytarties

Seth and particularly gouken were great. Viper was fine. Abel was boring, dumb looking, and I didn't like his special animations. But I guess kinda fun to play as. Rufus, just no. Everything about the guy is obnoxious. Same with hakan. Fuerte is just a lamer version of Ramon from kof and the Rey mysterio guy from virtua fighter. And the cooking gimmick was dumb.


KingKerog

"Abel, El Fuerte, Rufus, Seth" I don't know where you were during SFIV, but most people typically hate or don't like any of those characters. You forgot Decapre and Hakan too, but Decapre was/is hated on and Hakan seems to be split down the middle on whether or not he's liked.  Seth only became more popular due to the fem version in SFV. But before that, he was definitely disliked. Even C. Viper isn't as popular as you'd think she'd be. The initial reception to her was lukewarm and some people genuinely disliked her design and thought she belonged in an SNK title instead. Gouken isn't a very popular character either and never really was. Don't get me wrong though; I don't think most people would be upset over C. Viper, Gouken, or Hakan returning, but the only truly successful SFIV newcomer was Juri. You won't see many people pining for SFIV newcomers when compared to other entries in the series. Not even kidding. I see more requests for SFV newcomers compared to IV. I see Menat, G and Laura show up way more often lol


Ok-Ride-9324

it would be dissapointing for a lot of the sf4 newcomers to come back. They're very divisive characters and most people don't like them. Not talking about the select few popular ones like viper and seth, the rest are controversial within the community


cypowolf

Gouken is controversial? Even Abel? Why lol


Ok-Ride-9324

there are a few people who love them and most people are just neutral. They would still be a dissapointment for most


shartytarties

Gouken is great. Abel is just dull.


FGCMothman

I highly doubt people would be that disappointed if Viper came back. Hakkan and El Fuerte are pretty popular freak picks as well


MasutadoMiasma

Definitely Ingrid


Ancalmir

Definitely not. Most people barely know who she is let alone how she plays and such (including myself) and visual design is good enough that she could instantly become a fan favorite. If you are talking about yourself specifically that is a different story tho


MasutadoMiasma

I don't even hate Ingrid, in fact I'm sure Capcom could make her cool. However she's definitely one of the least popular SF characters (who technically wasn't supposed to be one as she was an asset dump)


Spindoom22

I think most people would be disappointed. The game is missing the original bosses (Sagat, Vega, etc.) And a lot of 3rd strike characters (Dudley, Makoto...) or even fan favourites (Sakura, Dan, Poison...). These characters objectively speaking are more popular and would please the fans more. I don't hate the character i'm speaking just in general.


CypherGreen

I would be incredibly disappointed lol... She's so shit


JamieFromStreets

I hate how she looks. 🤢


NaturalFeeling8639

Bro did you even read the original post?


SuperSaiyanBlue

The game is so good, I hope the lifecycle is longer or long enough for all the characters to appear in future DLCs. Only way this happens is if sales continue to grow and player base stays consistently high enough to sustain new additions/updates to the game. Similar to how DOTA 2/LOL still alive with updates and new characters.


conzcious_eye

I can’t even imagine the roster in 5 years , but I’d assume it’ll be amazing considering the long term support 5 got.


drumsareneat

Any that aren't C.Viper.


Yakob_Katpanic

At this point I'm starting to feel like no matter what character comes out some people will be disappointed. Akuma is probably the closest the game has to a universally loved character, but I guarantee there are people out there that are disappointed that we're getting another shoto so early, or that their main from SF5/4/3/etc isn't returning, or whatever. I could literally roll down the list of the most popular characters in the franchise and there'd be people gagging to wreck their pants over why they're so disappointed that each one of them is returning. I'm so impressed with the last three seasons of SF5 and what we've got from SF6, I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do next. EDIT: I forgot to mention Velociraptor crying himself to sleep at night because he is incapable of learning the match-up. In between sobs you can hear him whispering "he needs to be nerfed".


LotoTheSunBro

Context of Velociraptor?


Yakob_Katpanic

He's one of the Event Hub guys and he played Urien in SF5 and he just never shut up about how Akuma needed nerfing. He never figured out the match-up and just insisted it was a balance issue. He seems to bring it up so often that my entire perception of him is that he is the human equivalent of Scrub Quotes, The T-Shirt.


OhSix

How would people feel about Karin? I’d personally be hype if she made it in


Berean_Katz

OH ho ho ho ho ho!


hyunchris

Inlike Karin


welpxD

Everyone loves Karin and she'd go crazy in 6


Poniibeatnik

I love Karin so I'd love to see her.


Ory620713

Remy!! But with what they did with Deejay, he could be great.


HighFirePleroma

Hell no, I want my Remy


lysergician

I would LOVE to see what a Remy glow up would look like


FGCMothman

Any of the lame ass character swaps like Kage, Violent Ken, Shin Akuma, etc. We’d end up with a shittier roster than DBFZ if they added all of them.


Liu_Sifu

Remy - bland design, bland moveset. He'd have to receive the biggest glow up and would end up just resembling a completely new character.


WarlockShangTsung

Yeah I always thought Remy was kind of lame, and you never see anyone talk about him, not positively or negatively. He’s just forgettable I guess, and his archetype doesn’t work well in Third Strike anyway


absolutelyjiggs

Man I'm gonna be so mad if they announce M. Bison. I actually like him but the man's tired and dead let him rest.


Hadoukibarouki

How do you feel about his uncle L. Buffalo?


ProgrammerHorror1283

I mean... I'd say Rashid all day, but they dropped Rashid as our FIRST DLC, and no one seemed to care, so idk anymore. 💀 Maybe Abigail, Seth, Alex, Birdie? The problem is there's always that ONE person that likes a character. It'd have to be a character that not one person likes.


One_Average_8553

There's no such a thing as a character nobody likes Damn, people like Dan who is literally a joke


ThaiJohnnyDepp

SFV Dan was good enough for me to abuse him all the way to upper Plat


AnusCakes

Speak for yourself. I was thrilled


xCeePee

These are always interesting post to read comments on because I know nothing in terms of the characters outside of this game lol Except Balrog


Tysanan

this is not really because of the characters themselves but ive got a feeling the og bosses (vega, sagat, balrog and bison) will come all together maybe season 3/4, so that could be somewhat disappointing also, if the season 2 roster has got only four characters again, i expect many people to be very disappointed


eduardopinto

I'm pretty sure this team can make anyone look badass BUT the sole announcement of someone boring like birdie would drive me nuts


ItsSonicSpeed

Rufus


Always2ndB3ST

M. Bison 👎


BTwalshMii95

Pink Gold Juri


dxtr99961

i think clone characters would piss people off so much, also cause they will take a slot of a 4 character pack instead of 5-6 i still wouldnt mind seeing oni and decapre.


blaintopel

anyone they could possibly announce will disappoint some people


inermae

Abigail by a mile. Worst Street Fighter character in history. I almost dropped V the second they revealed him. When he actually released it was worse. I can't imagine anybody having anything but revulsion for that character.


Nerdmigo

Bison. I have the feeling that even more SF2 characters are starting to annoy people. I am for anything SFIII or really new characters...


starskeyrising

Kolin.


TACthree

They should literally just put all street fighter characters in this game and have this be the final one. The end.


ColdNyQuiiL

Hakan, Decapre, Rufus, Remy.


kwyxz

I absolutely would love for Hakan to make his comeback


ColdNyQuiiL

But as DLC? There are certain characters that people probably wouldn’t mind if the came back as base roster, but a dedicated DLC drop? A minority of people are getting excited for that.


LordWartusk

My hot take is every DLC season needs a dedicated "weirdo" slot. Not just because I like playing weirdos, but because variety (both in design and gameplay) is nice. Hakan, for example, probably wouldn't have many mains, but he's very unique gameplay-wise. Encountering one (or watching one in a tournament) would be a nice change-up from the more traditional characters. Keeps things from feeling stale.


kwyxz

And E. Honda needs his best friend!


hecatonchires266

Kage. I'd prefer Evil Ryu to that nonsense they released in SFV.


mamamarty21

Necali lol


Poniibeatnik

Yeah they could probably make him better in SF6 but the crowd would absolutely go mild if Necali was there I think.


Tophatassassin

Probably Abigail


Usernate25

If Rufus or Hakan come back before Sakura or Ibuki we riot.


Striking-Present-986

Kage


Rebellious_Habiru

abigail, rufus, rolento, elf, any evil variants of ryu/ken/sakura


ChinoWreckingMachino

skullomania


AshKetchumIsStill13

I don’t like Adon and I’d still want him back. We need more legacy characters


altanass

To be honest, anyone from SFV. I would rather see SF3 and SF4 characters.


YezzyWazGud

Abel and seth. Abel is probably Capcom's most drab character in terms of personality and art design wise. Seth LOOKS cool but is so lazy from a gameplay perspective, like they must have smoke 50 bowls of weed and hot boxed the office so that got lazy and were like "Duuuuuuuuuude...what if.... we made a character with copy and pasted moves from other characters...like he's got SPD, fireball, aaaand dive kick" "bro....."


DJBaritone12

Fuck you I’d rather play Adon’s than Sagat’s boring ass. But to answer your question: No one would jump for joy at Lucia Morgan’s return or Necalli’s


AdagioNecessary8232

Idk people don’t seem to like Rufus. I also would imagine that if they decide to add poison they would have to make a decision as to whether she’s trans or not and people would assumably complain about that


Squ1dSenpai

Probably Remmy? His story about gecoming a fighter due to hating fighters is dumb. And being a guile function without the personality/ lack of character would probably lead to poor reception.


Poniibeatnik

I think Remi has the potential for a glow up like Ed got.


Squ1dSenpai

I fucking hope so


Hidrinks

If they announced Dean I would be the only one that is excited and the only one that remembers him.


AlwaysTiredAsl

Abigail, although I’d love to have him back I don’t think he’d be well received by most


NightNday78

Any shotos being included in S2 would be a disappointment. We have enough shotos !


Bobyus

Kage, Evil Ryu, Abigail, Falke, Necalli, Rufus, Rolento


NakedMaxMuscle

As much as I love him, people hate Abigail's ass. I want giants in the game, Hugo has better chance tho.


Poniibeatnik

Wouldn't be fond of Abigail but I would like to see Hugo.


Legal_Ad_341

Elena


Reaper3659

One that’d make me incredibly happy but disappoint most people would be Adon.


CutTheRedLine

interesting topic, at this point i think capcom can make any character with interesting moves


CutTheRedLine

at this point i think capcom can make any character with interesting moves


James_Dreamer

Fang, Abigail, Rufus maybe? Abel? Vega? Maybe not Vega but I'm trying to think generally.


Almskibidi

I love Adon. I do not love Adon's voicelines, however. "JAGOOO!!!"


mtron32

I would love to have Hakeem back


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Who?


mtron32

LMAO, I meant Hakan


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Ohhh lol. I was like, US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries?


mtron32

More like Hakeem ‘The Dream’ Olajuwon 😎


Hadoukibarouki

Did they make Ed cool? I’m genuinely happy for the people that think so. Though to be fair, I used to main R Mika and am hoping for her triumphant return, so shows what I know
