I want them to experiment again and just nuke most of the cast from orbit. Part of the reason SFIV was popular (and also to its detriment, IMO) was that it was just Street Fighter 2 + some new guys. When you can joke that your game is Street Fighter 2² there's a bit of a problem, at least initially. I would prefer a mostly new cast ala SF3 and just sprinkle in a few returning characters as time goes on. It's gotten silly when most of the returning cast you see before DLC is SF2 all over again. I know the argument is always to keep fan favorites so you don't lose customers, but sometimes enough is enough.
SF2 cast is here to stay.
Capcom will not make the same mistake they made with SF3
You know how people are in the FGC though. They want to mainline nostalgia always. See everyone's character lists they want, all of them nostalgia characters. No slots for new characters at all when people are guessing for what the next season will be.
Hey, I've been playing this game since the start on my PS4, but just bought it for my own account on Steam as well. Let me get this straight, can I unlock costumes like bearded Ryu with fight money or not? I think that if I keep playing I'll be able to unlock costumes, but I'm not sure.
I'd be fine if SF6 had no SF2 characters tbh. I usually play newcomers anyway, so I've been pretty happy having so many charming newcomers in SF5.

I think the way they played it in V is a good balance between "go all new" like in III and "rehash Super Turbo" like in IV. Get the fan favorites from II, some folks from other series (because there actually are other SF games besides II and III) + Final Fight and new characters.
I could also see certain character archetypes from older games be gradually replaced by similar character archetypes from newer games, provided the former are not too popular and the latter are well received. Like I wouldn't be surprised if a future SF game had Menat in place of Dhalsim, for instance.

I don't have a problem including one or two, I mean I'm ecstatic Sakura is back and was very happy when they showed Mika and Karin and that Ibuki was indeed an addition, but I'm fine with letting them rest. Things can continue on without them. People having a couple of preferences is fine but this?
SFIV was a mistake, it's nothing but trash (etc etc).
I'm literally tattooing Ryu and my brother is tattooing Ken soon. They better keep them in the future installments.
Bearded Ryu is a premium costume, so real money only. You can view the costumes in the Shop. Story costumes are the only ones you can buy with Fight Money (you get Ryu and Chun's for free), which cost 40K. Basically, if you don't see a Fight Money price in the Shop for an item, it means you can only buy it with real money.
There are FGC folks that won't play a new SF game until their favorite characters are in it. And a lot of those happen to be the SF2 cast so it's highly doubtful that they will ever release another SF game without those characters in the base roster.
Thanks, is bearded Ryu part of a costume pack or not? Do the premium packs ever go to sale or nah?
I wouldn't wast a character slot in another Doll. If anything, I'd make a game mode to play with all these NPC only characters. In addition to the story / boss rush mode / EX battle where you fight them.
But I'd like to have a Delta Red member. Maybe Wolfman, who may ask for help the other Delta Red members by using certain attacks (think Nadesiko or Captain Commando).
SF6 shouldn't have any character from any previous game, just start from scratch, also it shouldn't be a fighting game, make it a third person shooter or a visual novel.
I'd say it's a tie between her and Juri, their designs are so good they should become mainstays imo.
It'd be pretty dumb of them not to have him just because he's dead. I said it some days ago, but they could have him in a flashback or a dream sequence in SF6's story mode so that they could have an excuse to make him playable.
Even if SFIV was SF2 heavy, that was totally fine because the series had been effectively dead for a decade, the lack of SF2 characters in SF3 played a part in that, and its return to fighters was a big deal. It was a small miracle it even happened.
Gutting the main cast again like SF3 is not going to happen. Fortunately, SFV has been pretty good about mixing old and new up. Of the DLC characters, 7 of 18 are new which is a good ratio, and probably more newcomers than most expected.
Would love to have her, Laura, Rashid and FANG back tbh. The rest of the newcomers is whatever.
And every time you fire your gun, you hear "Boom! That's how you start the fight and finish it quickly!"
SF2 privilege is a real and imo holds the series back, but whatchagonnado I guess. At least people can finally shut up about WHERE'S SUGAHT
Mika has regained my rank that Kolin lost yesterday, the power of the graps!
Thus I had to purchase her battle costume, that's how I justify that £2.50.

Boy if you folks thought Bengus was struggling to get art done for story mode here...
They did it cause Nash. Base roster probably needed to be 20 though, I think.
You bought her worst costume... schoolgirl/cheerleader Mika are must-haves.
I don't wanna play a schoolgirl, I wanna play a WRASSLER
That said Cheerleader almost got me.
I go with Mika's swimsuit costume because it's somehow more modest than her default and story costumes.
Okay, so I bought the AE disc and don't have any of the Season 2 characters unlocked.
What do?
What do?
There's a code that comes with the disc that you use to add the the season 1 and 2 characters as DLC.
Does the frame data shit in training mode say the startup for moves? All I really get from it is positive or negative.
He's indeed necessary if they want to bridge into SF3. But that's only if they want to add more depth to Alex, or even recognize he was the hero of his game...
I really hope Honda sits SF5 out. He staid out of SFxT, he can do it twice! Hopefully the relative popularity of most SF5 newcomers means the SF2 gang will be on the backburner in SF6. By 2020, they'll just be "some of the characters of USF4", nothing more or less than Fuerte or Rufus. Let them rest. Bring Hakan back instead.
I'm starting to get the hang out of Kolin, VT2 be blessed. Winning matches even! I just need to remember that I'm too dumb to use her counters and I shouldn't try to be fancy.
I discover some her winning quotes against Laura and Urien, and wow, that's some sick ice burn there.
Somehow it wasn't until AE that I realised how great Kolin's backwards walk animation was, especially now you can have sparkly finger pointing via Trigger 2.
Didn't it disappear into the aether? I still can't even get Season 3 over here in Blighty.
Rufus is the biggest travesty in the series. Original design is one of the best in the series and an instant classic. Instead they went that joke character route. He deserves to be forgotten forever. Truly.
Yes, assuming you currently have 1.2M fight money on your account.
popped up for me after midnight, which is what capcom UK said it would on twitter
Oh neat, guess I'll give this a look soon.
...I really want my bonus costumes!
the nostalgia costumes are too good to pass up. gassed to finally have juri's nostalgia costume even though her battle costume colour 15 is GOAT
No, the S1/S2 characters are only included for those who actually bought AE instead of just downloading the AE patch.
