Including the World Warriors and giving them all a visual overhaul kinda makes sense given the whole legacy theme they seem to be going for.

Even if you don't like or don't care about the world warriors its also optics. They are considered the core of SF to casuals 5 lacking a big roster plus having to pay for DLC for what they consider as the base of the game rubbed people wrong.

Honestly the only World Warriors I don't care about is E.Honda and Blanka but apparently people were pissed they weren't in the base roster of 5, so whatevs lol

Honestly, going by some of the replies in this thread and elsewhere, SF2 fans definitely feel entitled to their faves coming back over other characters. Saw someone in one of the threads ask why they should have to not play as their main and I'm like bruh my main hasn't been in a game since fuckin 99 lol

...I don't want to have any of the crappy single player content sitting on my hard drive. We need to message Capcom to make sure that stuff is a separate download.

It's definitely optics, at least in part.

Most people don't actually care about all individual WWs, much less the Four Devas, and would never play them, but they'd 100% throw a complete shit fit if one of them was missing.

What are we basing this on? Casuals recognize SF2 characters but will it really flip their purchasing decision if this game had five SF2 characters instead of eight? Are casuals not going to purchase SF6 if just Blanka sat this one out?

Judging by the pictures. It looks like the female characters are getting the Netherrealm / Mortal Kombat treatment and I'm absolutely baffled by this.
...You mean they have less revealing clothes? I don't know why that would be baffling at all.

It was kind of embarassing when Capcom had to tell SFV players to change the default Mika/Cammy costumes between sets when a tournament was streamed on a TV channel like Disney XD or ESPN2 or whatever because the defaults were too revealing, so it makes a lot of sense they would try to avoid that this time. Plus, this is Capcom we're talking about, I'm sure every female character will have at least three beach costumes as alts.

Love Ryu's design, he looks like he's going out to kill a bear. Getting some Terry Bogard vibes from Ken and that's ok.

Cammy's face looks exactly like Daigo Ikeno's. He's 100% lead artist on this project. They brought out the big gun artists for this.
