How many of the original World Warriors do you like?

They're all iconic IMO. As a Honda main, the fact that Capcom waited so long to eventually put him in SF5 is the main reason I never bothered to get into that game. If you're gonna make a new main line SF game you gotta put the original cast in there cause it's what us oldheads gravitate towards
This is where I stand. Z Angie's is my main, but if he was gone and someone else took some similar moves mixed with some new ones I would be fine.
I don't really care too much for Dhalsim but he's still iconic.
Sagat is in the Piccolo tier of non black characters that are actually black, so that's that.

Depends on the roster size, but the mandatory trio of Ryu, Ken, Chun are all I need. Rest and whatever, though I don't want Balrog or Dictator back.
I think they're all pretty great. I don't play fighting games, but they're distinct and memorable, and they're iconic for just that reason.
Ryu
Chun
Blanka
Honda
Vega
Then the rest are whatever to me, with Guile getting a dishonourable mention as dead last.

Are you proposing a Watch Dogs vs. Street Fighter? I mean, I'd main the granny from the third game if she was playable.
Ryu/Chun-Li/Blanka/Ken I like considerably more than the rest and were the 4 I typically played as (mainly the first two). I played so many hours playing SF2 and its variants that I don't think I could say that I hate any of the characters.
I like them all.
But the first one I would get rid of if I had to is Honda. From the responses in this thread, I guess I'm not alone.

Only Chun. If we extend to the full SF2 cast then Fei Long and Cammy too. The rest I'm fine with never seeing again.
I like them all. This game and its various iterations were such a big part of my childhood, it holds a special place in my heart.
Tony Hawk was in SF?
I had to google who T.Hawk is in the context of SF...
I mean, I like all of them, and like I said in my post, actively disliking some of the most iconic characters of all time is just silly. But that said, I wouldn't give a toss if none of them showed up in any game for like the next 15 years.
Liking them =/= needing them to be in everything. And I think the completionist attitude people have for nostalgic reasons is equally silly, as most people never use more than 4 of them at best (usually Ryu, Ken or Chun-Li) in any given game
If you wanted to figure out how necessary people think the 12 WWs are, you should've made a thread about that.
I mean, I'm sure you can expect the original 8-12 to get in there eventually but 12 characters added over the span of 5-7 years isn't bad at all. Do I want them all in every game? Absolutely not, and I hope 6 gives some of them a much needed break, but the biggest issue has always been how frequently they include them. SF5 had half of its base roster made up of SF2 characters which is just far too much, so I think narrowing that number down to something like four would probably work better for everyone.
People will always feel entitled to the characters they like and/or expect, but fighting game rosters usually always strive to be pretty unique and distinct from previous entries, so I don't know why people get so outraged when their character misses a game for once. If someone feels like they deserve their character to get in just because they feel like 'its wrong' to have it any other way, then that's their problem.
The OG Street Fighter 2 cast was honestly perfect cast for a fighting game debut. When it comes to the OG cast returning in future games though, I care about Dhalsim, E Honda, and Zangief the least.
