Man, we've gotta' stop pretending that SF4 launched with all those characters when it spent a year in arcades with only 17 on its roster. The console version of SF4 was basically its "2nd Impact," if you will.
This kind of revisionist history has gotten more than a few people out there riled up about "small roster sizes." Nonetheless, this is a cool image.
I've been banging that drum for a minute. If we're comparing Ver 1 launch rosters across the games, SF4 launched in arcades and that 17 was the launch roster. Full stop.
Fair point. Pretty misleading then.
Been saying this for the longest.

Twelve wasn't until 3S, right? Just counting the NG cast, Yang is kinda cheating as he was just a palette swap in that version but I counted him anyway lol
You're right.. I thought Twelves were there ever since the beginning.
There was a media event not to long ago featuring both RE4R and SF6. We're basically waiting for the embargo to be lifted and hopefully its this week.
SFIII still got it.
It's Black History Month so I gotta go with the game that gave us 3 black characters out of 8.5 instead of 1 black character out of 7.
I was thinking about that when I made the list but Kimberly is just so head and shoulders above previous attempts I had to give it to 6
Excuse me, but the hairstyles they got in the character creator should give bonus points. :T
I do drool at the thought of what Sean, Dudley, and Elena would look like in 6 tho
Sean in 6 would make me forgive whatever the hell was happening in SFV's story mode.
I can't wait for that DLC trailer one day. SF6 Sean will shut up the haters

Not to mention that Nakayama made a conscious decision to make the Black avatars the default.
There's a moratorium on inviting people to the cookout, but Nakayama-san is getting a plate sent to him regardless.
Im very, VERY curious to see what comments are in general concerning that decision when the game comes out.
This reminds me a guy on twitter recently did a spreadsheet for all the street fighter games, laying out the base rosters of the games and those added as updated versions/dlc

We are never getting another Alpha game, are we?
People are already saying this with the Cammy redesign and the Battle Hub host design.
If the reactionary racist army isn't already up in arms about it, it's probably not gonna be an issue.
Looks like they know and plan on updating that specific point in the next revision along with other things pointed out.

I couldn't fuck with a 3d interpretation of it like it would be.
I mean I would but you know. I wouldn't like it.
Fine I'd probably like it but I wouldn't like that I liked it.
Yeah, I really like his work so I would like to see it to be more accurate so I can use it in future discussion. He did great job and made it incredibly easy to look at.
I like to keep the chart accurate and I just don't want some fans misunderstood the fact that they would think that we actually started with 25 character roster.
Honestly, Lily being a Nakoruru/Talim amalgamation is kind of genius for how completely organic it feels. Lily is a short Indigenous teenage girl (representing Indigenous peoples of the Americas rather than Asia), she dual wields her weapons like Talim, she has a pet raptor like Nakoruru, and she's guided by the voices of nature like Nakoruru (and more specifically the wind like Talim). It's also a really fortuitous coincidence that T. Hawk's special moves already look like Nakoruru's.
Samurai Shodown and Soulcalibur are considered the two big weapon-based fighting game series; Nakoruru was officially voted as the most popular Samurai Shodown character, and Talim was officially voted as the most popular Soulcalibur character. As a pure weapon fighter, it's like Lily was consciously designed to honor those characters and series.

Fair but I still gonn give it to 6 cause the black character in here is on of the more better designed black characters in the series but yeah I hope at least one or two more new black characters in 6's lifetime
Edit: I probably should of refresh the page before responding lol I just got on break at work

Damn if being woke means getting to see hips like that and Kimberly's then count me deep in the paint
Tekken 8 is going to run into This problem coming off Tekken 7. Given how long it took for the non-arcade release

In Mortal Kombat it's always the other way around so I think it's a silly reason, especially since we have virtually very little loading on next gen and they have the whole introduction cinematics.
The new Japanese Street Fighter book confirms that Seth's Brutal Impact was an early Marisa tease (SF6 development was well underway by the time Seth released).
Nobody ever really knew what that attack was referencing, and the Blodia Punch comparisons never sat well with me. This makes a lot more sense.

It also confirms that Sethe having a feminine form in general was done to prototype.The new Japanese Street Fighter book confirms that Seth's Brutal Impact was an early Marisa tease (SF6 development was well underway by the time Seth released).

Thank you!!!
On purpose, it's not really a stage to me and an eye sore so left it out ;)
They're to preemptively punish everyone for skipping the intro cinematic :v
Enjoy! :)
14* stages for 18 characters is not bad.
*I'm not convinced the bull stage will be in versus mode. They probably could give it a narrower aspect ratio, but I'll believe it when I see it. And I'm not counting The Grid either, even though that will be the technical 15th versus mode stage.
And I miss Cracker Jack... If CAPCOM really wants to go over and above they'd give us an EX DLC Pack.
