What would be the most satisfying vanilla roster for SFVI?
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
In case they actually do start from scratch
Ryu
Ken
Chun
Cammy
Guile
Sagat
Balrog
Juri
C.Viper
Ibuki
Makoto
Laura
Rashid
Menat
Ed
Vega/Honda/Blanka not really sure who I could see here
Male newcomer
Male newcomer
Female newcomer
Bison is dead but will come back as dlc, Akuma is dlc because 2 shotos are enough for the base roster
You really think another small launch roster would go over better than a 25-30 character roster with greatly improved and updated SF5 assets and all the other visual improvements next gen can bring.

Yes, lord. Half the cast should be black and brown, tbh. Give me all the Global South.
Yea we all saw how great SFV launch went.
I am sure Capcom would love to repeat the same thing.
SF4 launched with 19 characters in the arcade.
The home console version came later.
People should accept that the first release of a fighting that isn't re-using assets is never going to have a huge roster.
Once again: that's almost every new fighting game that doesn't reuse assets.
The new Killer instinct started with 8, Guilty Gear Xrd 13 etc.

I'd say 24 is the max. However they will go lower if they are planning on adding very expansive SP modes due to the backlash of SFV.
Either way I really don't think we will get 16 again , unless we are getting some super realistic looking RE Engine game.
SFV launched with 16 characters and was very bare bones feature wise.
SF VI should have 20 characters and be content complete.
Not a fair comparison.
That is a unfair comparison since SFV didn't have an arcade launch.
Compare apples to apples. First version versus first version.
SF4 Arcade vs SFV.
22 seems reasonable to me because that's SF5's base roster and first season of DLC combined which is what SF5 should have launched with. If they learnt their lesson I can see them at least doing 20.
Yeah lol I was pretty disappointed when they revealed his design. I wouldn't mind him showing up in like a character story or something but keep him the fuck away from ever being playable.
This is their brother.
What a nerd. Laura is described as the heir of the family style, since Sean sold his peoples out to train with Ken, so we don't need this chump. Also his name is Fabio. Go read a fucking book, Fabio.

1) Ryu (Beard)
2) Chun Li
3) Sean (Grown Up)
4) Ibuki
5) Sakura (Intensive Training)
6) Sagat (Give him a beard too, idk)
7) C Viper
8) Abel (redesign)
9) Rose (maybe her powers are out of whack with Bison gone)
10) Rashid
11) Ed (redesign)
12) Remy (spice up the move set)
13) Hugo
14) Haggar (running for pres)
15) G/Q/Equivalent
16) Newcomer Hero
17) Newcomer Boss
18) Newcomer Mystery

I'm also going on the record to say that the first season of DLC on my roster would just be a series of other Capcom characters to tie into the street fighter universe a la Final Fight. Do i care if these characters actually fit into Street Fighter? Absolutely not.
Season 1
Akira - Rival Schools - Japan
Momotaro - Pirate Ship Higemaru - Norway
Biff Slamkovich - Saturday Night Slam Masters - Russia
Rouge - Power Stone - Iraq
Vanessa Z. Schneider - PN03 - Outer Space
Gene - God Hand - Unknown

Well, there won't be an arcade version for SF6 first, so that comparison is off.
I rather have unique functions than clones or small differences between characters just to pad out the roster. As long as everyone plays well then it doesn't matter to me. The one thing I do like that Capcom has been doing is changing the characters up. If I want a character to play a certain way ill just go play an older entry. Change up the characters so we aren't playing the same thing for 20 years.
Never said there would be, my son. Not sure why comparing a console launch to a console launch wouldn't be appropriate, but I'm down to read your arbitrary reasoning for it.
Do I really have to explain to you why an extra year of development would lead to more characters?
Doesn't sound like you should be someone so patronizing.
He looks cool enough and prettyThis is their brother.

That's cool man
Broaden your horizons
give him a thong and tattoo BONITO on his asscheeks and he'll do great
I dunno about all that but he seems like ample opportunity to add variety to the male sfv archetypes
Even ed who shouldn't have been that got boxed into that. Hopefullythey get more varied
Also I gotta asked is that like a homophobic/ feminine guy joke? If so not cool
Wait, are G and Q not the same character? I thought they were and something happened to G that turned him into Q.
(I know absolutely nothing of SFV's story.)
If it means another brother in the game, I'm down, but I think scrawny ass Sean adds more variety than buff ass Fabio with his Ryu gi and Nash glasses.
nah i was joking about giving him over the top fanservice as silly as laura's to balance things out
I think they'd do fine w/ whatever they wanted to do with Fabio if they decided to add him, Capcom is great at realizing character concepts and making them standout
Fabio doesn't seem buff to me? Maybe it's the art, I dunno. I still want scrawny Sean though
Also debuff ed and dont explain it
Counter offer, its one of the other ladies in her division and she's DLC
Sure, as long as they ditch Healing or balance it properly. I'm still mentally scarred from USFIV.
Bring her home.
If they tone down the sexualization of her design, Rainbow Mika can come back.
In his moves and costumes its highly implied to the point of being of obvious but his story mentions absolutely nothing and we still don't know wtf is exactly going on with G and Q.
Hint for the Joke: Xander Mobus
But seriously, Abigail isn't that bad. I wouldn't want him in the base roster, but I'd be okay with Abigail showing up later down the road as DLC.

Nah, those other are jobbers, she deserves a main spot.
the rest can be DLC...or just make Womens league Saturday Night Slam Masters
R Mika actually has the more tame of alternate outfits for the female cast
It's her default that's super trashy.
Make her battle outfit the default and it's already damn good.
In terms of individual characters my main priorities are Sean, Necro and Abel. I'm bummed none of these got in 5.
I was referring to the default. I actually do agree with you in that Mika has some pretty solid alts (though the track suit is consistently tame for everyone, not just Mika, which I also appreciate). With that said, her Holiday alt has a considerable bit of cleavage (albeit not as bad as the default, with the same being said of the Story costume's underboob).Nah, those other are jobbers, she deserves a main spot.

One has an eccentric, exciting, fun personality and an actual interesting mystery to them and the other is Q
