Eleven: SFV's Missed Opportunity

Eleven is a "character" I've wanted to talk about for a while, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Originally I was thinking of a Fighting Game Garbage but I don't think that would've worked, I'm happy with how this turned out!

His a "Diegitic UI" to indicate a match is being played as a random select a clear visual indicator that even if the video uploaded online is just a portion, there would be still a clear distinction of the other player being in a disadvantage of the situation. I understand the designers why they didn't make him a Mokujin and why he is less gimmicky for the sake of being used as the better random select and the player that randomized can adopt and familiarize in the second round. I preferred him to replace the standard random select for good and i want to see him return instead of the usual random select in future SF games. because costumes are not a priority of a player that chooses to go with random select. So him being turned into that is better in usability standpoint.

Having him change every round would've been perfect. It gives you a way to throw off your opponent mid-match in a way that you really can't with random select

You could also let him reroll the transformation with a taunt.

[@mikamoschella3410]

@@chungusumungus4004 The problem with that is it can be a little overloading, since the game has to load every character for the match. You can even see some slight weirdness between rounds when playing Mokujin/Edgemaster in Tekken/Soulcalibur bc the game has to load a new moveset each time. Since it's between rounds it's not a huge issue, but having to load with a taunt will definitely cause issues.

[@robertflannery4883]

his vskill should of been x copy with all the benefits of it, it would of made eleven feel more like his own character

[@Snugboat]

What they could have done is something that I've always wanted in a fighting game, a Mirror Match character. Back in playing smash I always wished Ditto was an little extra bonus character that forced you into playing your opponent's character. Like going online and seeing how far you can go constantly having to play your opponent's character would have been a really fun extra little thing. When I saw Eleven I was really hoping that's what they were doing, but not so. I've always wondered if anyone else has ever had that idea, cause I love it personally.

[@BigYellowSilly]

I've never heard that suggestion for Eleven but I kinda love it, that'd be so fun

[@sablesalt]

Mirror match characters have always been an interesting idea as they end up basically putting each match in a situation similar to when someone picks a character they don't play as much specifically to have a ditto match. It's ballsy but also has alot of disrespectful energy since you are more or less exposing someone as a fraud by winning the match using their character and I respect it for the sheer level of toxicity/bm.

[@Jackrost01]

Secret character from Darkstalkers have one. It's Doll.

[@manuelmadama1636]

[@MrMisfortune]

I would've 100% preferred if Eleven was Twelve but good in a similar way to how G is Q but good, and would've replaced Rose with them in a heartbeat.

[@Ganmorg]

I get the idea of “G is Q but good” in theory but in practice I really don’t agree. Q appeals to me due to his sluggish heavy-hitting high defense playstyle, as well as the personality in his animations and sounds. G is frankly too much imo, and him not being charge is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Not my President

[@uncreativearro]

@@Ganmorg However, have you considered... LIGHT IT UP 👉🔥🔥🔥

[@MrMarket1987]

Agree on the first part, but G and Q still work fundamentally different despite the special outfit and similar animations. G encourages aggressive playstyles and use of projectiles to put pressure; Full throttle with the guy is how you win the fastest. Q is defensive in nature, but a hard brawler with a deceptively fast rush attack if the opponent gets opened up; His moveset wasn't fancy nor flashy, but he also hit pretty fricking hard when he got you with his stronger moves and specials, some of which he could combo a little after. Q wasn't badly designed overall, give or take a few attacks that didn't string into much use, he was just in a game that made his competition hard to handle at higher plays, but he could definitely put in work.

[@Ganmorg]

@@MrMarket1987 These fundamental differences in playstyle are a big part of why I don't think G is a good replacement.

[@starlord1521]

I like eleven but 0 way is he worth Rose

[@PizzamonkeyFGC]

I think Eleven would have had a lot more charm if instead of transforming, he just stayed in his regular form and mimicked a characters moveset like that. I know his and Twelve's thing is that they transform but the way they just kinda slapped Eleven on in here makes it feel like they should have just been alternate outfits for each character if you want the funny voice filter.

[@BigYellowSilly]

That would've been a hell of a task but mannnnn it would've been godlike

[@matthewlayman859]

I think it would be awesome if Eleven just transformed back into himself at the end of a match to do his own win pose. They could have all the win poses Twelve had from SF3 and I think it would make it feel like you were actually playing Eleven and not just whatever character it picked.

[@BigYellowSilly]

@@matthewlayman859 that's a small touch that would've gone a long way

[@thecummonster.]

I think it makes perfect sense that Eleven is only a random select. Eleven isn't perfect like Twelve, Twelve is called Twelve because yeah, it took Gill and Urien twelve times to perfectly create a mimic. If anything, just bring Twelve back, he's so goddamn cool and needs redemption.

[@helpkirbyhasagun_2047]

So you’re saying he stays in his Twelve form but when you select him he changes into a characters movesets just with Twelves player model? I’m down with that, that sounds super fun

When Eleven was announced, I thought it was gonna be a "different character every round" kind of deal. That would've been hype.

[@MagicalMEAT]

I thought since the beginning eleven should change to a new character between rounds, that would at least be interesting and make them meaningfully different from throwing a dart at a board every time you start a match. Either that or give them unique a vsystem/super that they use regardless of the character they turn into, giving characters you already know some different tools could be really fun

[@manuelmadama1636]

Having him change characters between rounds would add load times and Capcom most likely don't want people having to sit through that after every single round... MAYBE they could have made it so that you had extra-long load times after picking him and before the fight actually starts, to load the characters he'll transform into for subsequent rounds in advance... Your idea of giving him an unique V-System is cool and much more feasible, but they'd probably have intentionally designed it to be very poor overall so as to avoid the possibility of it being overpowered when used by certain characters...

[@Kara-de5cz]

Imagine if they did Eleven play like Mokujin from Tekken : after every round your character changes. Edit : that's also why Mokujin is so interesting: you need to know how to play the entire cast, AND to quickly recognise every idle stance to know which character is copied.

Personally, I would have liked it to be possible to choose to play with Eleven without transforming but still having the random character moveset, mainly because its normal design is kinda funny and it would have served as an interesting element for the story, with Eleven being able to copy the other characters moves but not their appearance like Twelve.

[@Harmless_Music]

[@TheHeyro]

I’m personally hoping for this to be a hint at “Thirteen” arriving in SF6. It’d also feel like a great evolution of the character imo, Eleven being an experiment so early in development it’s only purpose is to mimic another character, Twelve evolving into its own character but being terribly weak because it’s still developing, and Thirteen in sf6 could be a finally fully evolved version of these guys, perhaps finally being able to be a stronger character! It’s just a neat idea I’ve liked to think about ever since Eleven was shown and stuff.

Eleven should've been like Charade or Mokojin. Just a new random moveset every single round.

[@journal_1396]

I think having a character as the random select option is really fun, but it's redundant if there's already a random select option. While obviously it would've been better if Eleven was a full character, having them as a random select option is better than nothing. That being said, I really wish they re-transformed and became another character and got a new random V Skill every round, or at least every game. It would give them a bit more relevance, and people would probably even pick Eleven online if they wanted to troll. And hey, in theory you could pick them if in tournament and you have the merit of forcing your opponent to adapt to a new character over and over. Shame we didn't at least get that.

[@jsf3799]

Eleven was such a cool but half assed idea. They could’ve made it change characters every game, or round or even every 10 seconds, it would have been so much more interesting with no extra effort from capcom. The random select button is cool but it already existed

Also, at least in locals, if you pick random and don’t get a character you like, you get to do takebacks at least. Also I think I agree with everyone’s “he should have just been mokujin / ditto”… Hell that should be his replacement for V-trigger! Imagine if you could change your morph mode to “Copycat”, “Identity Crisis”, Or “One & Done” Also I think he should at least have a color select so you can pick your favorite taffy color for your character ): Edit: man I went wild there, I had a lot more to say than I thought

I feel the exact same way. He was such a missed opportunity, but I can’t be horribly mad because he’s meant to be an early version, less advanced edition of twelve before he was given his own free will. However with Luke being in SFV as well as being in SFVI, we have another chance to bring either 13 (please that’d be so cool) and a redesigned necro because of how SFVI is confirmed to be canonically sometime after SFV In the time line. Hopefully they we’re waiting on another game so they can figure out how to animate their body stretching to look good in 3D, and might’ve had dhalsim be a test dummy I want them both to come back it would be the highlight of my FGC career.

Honestly adore Twelve as a character. Like im not a SF person at all and Twelve is just dope as hell. Honestly adore almost everything he has in 3S, even the fact that hes bad. To the point where im making a fighting game myself, atleast the design of one, and a character has his playstyle of a mixup based character, with some neutral dominance, low damage, ariel, and rushdown oriented. When i started SFV after not playing in like a year, saw a weirdly familiar face in the bottom right, saw it was ELEVEN, i was so fucking stoked. Then i picked him. Oh. Hes random select. Right. Look a bit more into it and yeah, he was bonus content. Rrright. Gonna do such a popular character like that? Then release Oro in that brilliant state? So they care about 3S, and characters from it that people enjoy, but this was a random select character, while Rose got a massive ass overhaul and loads of attention. Sorta feels like a "fuck you", and its covered over with "oh but the X.C.O.P.Y guy makes sense and the lore and shit"

[@GordonFreeman-e7i]

True

[@bbobjs]

It's conflicting because on the one hand, I understand that making him a Mokujin/Olcadan type character who swaps styles between rounds would likely increase load times; however Namco was able to produce a fighter who could swap styles MID ROUND (Unknown, TTT) over 20 years ago on vastly inferior hardware without issue, so it's a bad excuse. Even granting that the choice to make him so limited was probably software/hardware related, I still think this was a bad call because they could have made him a FORCED MIRROR MATCH character (i.e. you always become the same character and v-skill as your opponent). This has several advantages over the actual implementation: 1. It creates a plausible space in the competitive meta-game for the character. 2. It accomplishes something which isn't covered in part or in full by an existing feature (i.e. something random select doesn't largely do). 3. It fits the lore better (X-Copy as it existed in SFIII only copied your opponent's move set, likely because of similar software limitations) 4. To the best of my knowledge it's an actual novelty which has not been accomplished by other characters in other fighting games before. 5. Within the context of blind match rank mode, it's actually a useful function for a certain type of player to have access to. Even beyond that, if they wanted to go the extra mile, the could have given him 2 V-Skills, let's just call them X-Copy and V-Copy. Selecting V-Copy could have him function as a random substitute as he currently does while X-Copy could have him function as a forced mirror match as I've outlined above. The only unaddressed element is, what happens when both players pick the forced mirror match variant of Eleven? The obvious answer is that both should be the same random character with the same random V-Skill... but personally I think it should cause both players to be completely different random characters. I know this would be strictly worse for the potential application of the character in a competitive setting... but from a casual perspective, if your friend keeps picking Eleven and you just want to not have a mirror, I think picking him just to force a non-mirror would be sick and worth the potential impact it might have on the competitive scene.

[@roysrevengefgcofficial1508]

Twelve is probably the character I most like in SF, it looks weird but kind of adorable and I love to play whit him even if I suck at the game and Twelve is probably one of the weakest characters in all SF (at least the playable ones) so when Eleven got realized I wont lie and tell you that the fact that it was just a randomizer felt horrible, like waiting a day for a meal and instead get a slap in the face... still at least there is hope for Twelve in the future now that Capcom at least acknowledge it's existence somehow

[@xeaxanthyxo]

I would’ve loved if Eleven was our gate way to become some NPCs along with the playable cast. It’s like how they planned for Twelve to become Abigail when using X Copy against Hugo. The thought of being an extremely niche character like Satsuki or one of the worst characters like Peter or 2P during a match is a funny thing to think about.

[@BigYellowSilly]

Eleven should have a one in 11,000 chance to become Peter

[@GlowingOrangeOoze]

@@BigYellowSilly okay now that's *actually* getting in the way of using the character to sandbag in tournament matches. Would be super funny, though.

[@edfreak9001]

i think it'd be cool if eleven was Maximum Chaos swapping every round or maybe like some incarnations of Shang Tsung changing mid-match or something, but alas TBH I was almost thinking he was gonna be like that one gimmick Darkstalkers character who's literally just "play as whoever your opponent picks"

[@KazanmaTheSilverWind]

I think 11 should've switched every round like Tekken & SoulCalibur, and maybe had an extra person V Skill/Trigger that allows you to trigger another random select on command So yeah adding more random, but potentially adding more than what the competition does, like Mokujin & Charade/Inferno (or Edge Master, the coolest one imo)

[@OvermasterP]

It's okay not to be in your best of form always! I really enjoyed this video all the same.

[@ilikemynameNOTHING]

It may have been janky but I wish they included something unique, maybe Eleven could have the same super despite what character he is. He could transform back to his original model for it to at least add a tangible reason to select him

[@1dayago843]

At the very least they could've given him his own victory animation transforming back into his original form, as well as a lose state where he goes back to normal when KO'd

[@BigYellowSilly]

That alone would've made a big difference, or if they had their own theme

[@NoodleMcDoodle69420]

I Have An Idea For The Next Pokemon Video About The Evolution Of The Fighting Type Around Gens 2 To 5 Since RBY.. No And When Fairy Is Introduced I'd Say They're Just Around Mid B But Since You Talked About RBY That Video Would Be Really Cool Like The New Moves Pokemon And Their Impact's.

[@Neogears1312]

Even if 11 couldn’t be a unique character I’m disappointed it’s not the edgemaster/ mokujin of the game. I love these characters and I find it absurd we don’t get these characters anymore.

[@GeneralGlockasiah]

They created him a character model. They should have just gave him his own move set as well. Basically the same normal and special attacks as Twelve. Give him Invisibility VS1, Glide VS2, X Copy VT1, X Flat VT2, XNDL critical art.

[@BigYellowSilly]

Even if they were super basic I would've still enjoyed a new Twelve

[@birdguy9864]

I thought he was random every round, that would’ve been fun

[@JonahBoing]

I like eleven because they are essentially the meme character because if you win with a character you don’t know about with a V skill and V trigger you don’t know about it’s SOOOO disrespectful, ESPECIALLY in tournament. It’s great.

[@Kanecobond]

Eleven is such a missed opportunity... they should have made him way more fun and special, by making him a Mokujin. Change/Randomize every round and randomize V-Triggers & V-Skills. It's kinda boring just having be literally be the same as Random Select + Voice Modifier & Made out of Play-Doh.

[@CCuppy29]

I love Twelve \ _ / (that's his face)

[@CriticalThought004]

I can't help but think they could've added a setting when you choose Eleven similar to: "change v-skill (every round/match/don't change) Change v-trigger (every round/match/don't change) Change C.O.P.Y (every round/match/don't change)

[@ManateeExpress]

When I found out 11 was gonna be a random select character, I was really hoping that we'd get a Mokujin type "switch characters every round" type of dude. It woulda been the cherry on top if 11 still used their own unique model but just did everyone else's moves when ya switched to them. Maybe they'd be allowed their own Super but everything else remains a copy

[@mistery8363]

A cool idea for Eleven could've been him having moves from characters who didn't feature the SFV roster but are still part of the street fighter verse, like Geki or Fei Long or Yang

[@Salve-ager]

I would’ve been down for Eleven to be more like a composite character similar to Double in Skullgirls. Considering in the lore they’re supposed to be the precursor to Twelve, it could’ve been cool to have a character that shows how it developed from only copying specific moves for a second to gaining the ability to completely BE another character. To keep the original gimmick, you could do something like your V-skill and Trigger changes every round but you keep the composite moveset??? Certainly could be harder to program then I realize, and it could also be a balancing nightmare, but considering it’s so reliant on RNG anyways I don’t think most players would mind. Just a thought at least.

[@Sorrelhas]

I knew Twelve was never going to be in the game when Seth was announced, but even as much as I love Seth, I'd rather have goopy boi

[@flamingpaper7751]

I at least wish Eleven was just a style for every skin rather than just a random button. Like what if I want to play as funny Ryu every game?

[@Qublidon]

Here from Tekken, crying for Mokujin. I was hella hype when I heard Street Fighter got ahead and brought their Mokujin. Heck, would have motivated to get into SF more… but dang, a Random Select Button with a face

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

Here is an idea I have. If they wanted him to be sort of an Edge Master character, why not give him a unique super that he would exclusively have? Or maybe 2 unique supers, like have one of them be a character switch move. If you are not happy with the character you have currently, then if you have full meter for a super, do this super to change into a different random character. Yea, he would still be a random button character but it would be something at least.

[@dnr-vs1lk]

Eleven could have been a composite character, transforming into other characters to do their moves.

[@justintsui2522]

Maybe it's a little crazy but I'd think it'd be cool if he randomly changes character midmatch. I don't know how technically feasible it would be, but I think it would make the character interesting and open up unique, on the fly combos due to switching characters. And if becomes too uncompetitive, he can be banned from tournaments.

[@bruhford3954]

I think eleven would be neat if he still keep his normal look but he has moves not only taken from 1 fighter but 3 of them. It would actually play as him more worth it since you could do mix ups with the other character propertys

[@soildwaluigi]

I'm also really upset that you can't level up 11 himself. the experience goes to the character he X(XI?) copys into. I honestly hoped he got experience and that I could use a 11 title.

[@mann-nova9392]

Like you said, it's a free bonus, hard to get mad about. But they're just so pointless when there's already a random option...

[@AlphaProto]

11 was Capcoms chance to make a Mokujin character. A character that would change each round. That would be more fun.

[@Santi-ei3qf]

Also it is not playable on arcade, survival and cannot be purchased with fight money

[@orangecrisis8568]

I really wish it was every round that would’ve been so sick

[@loadedleader1794]

I havent played this game, but i think if they gave the character that 11 turned into a small damage boost, just some reason to pick him that would make him have some purpose

[@juhadexcelsior]

Actually, quick question. Can the Mysterious Mod team actually mod Eleven to improve him ever so slightly?

[@becongeneral]

My favorite Random select is Soul Caliber 2's Charade. Truly a random select that keeps your opponents and yourself on your toes every round.

[@benji-menji]

They could have made him a ditto character instead. When you are selecting them before your opponent picks their character and you win, you pretty much say that "I am you, but better." That would not only be less redundant, but also bring a unique experience. Still not good enough to live up to twelve, but it would be better than the sequel to random. I don't even play SFV or many fighting games though so take this with a grain of salt.

[@koopakingdom]

Would be wild if they could morph into other characters mid-round and between rounds.

[@Tuler914]

I really wish they at least gave 11 a unique intro where it shows him turning into the character it selects, and having an outro where it turns back into it's original form. That would have made their inclusion a bit better honestly

[@DeisFortuna]

Honestly, Urien's experimental creatures, who so far are just Eleven and Twelve are something I wish Street Fighter would expand upon more. Like, give me both Eleven and Twelve as characters at some point in SF6. Like, full unique characters. Have Eleven like, have absorbed some stuff from Charlie Nash due to having been used to make Nash a zombie. Rework Twelve a bit so that he can actually be the archetype he was always meant to be, even if that archetype just inherently does not work in SF as a game, rendering him still adorably bad outside of the hands of a someone who's mastered the character and/or mind games. Hell. Add more to this line of blobs. Add like, Thirteen as a supposedly superior version of Eleven and Twelve, because let's face it, Urien's probably continuing to have these artificial lifeforms made. DEVELOP THESE ADORABLE BLOBS MORE, CAPCOM. PLEASE!

[@boitahaki]

Eleven was never random in the first place. He turned into his opponent, like some sort of fighting Ditto.

[@chinesemassproduction]

My favorite SF player, Smug, dedicated a whole vid to this character, and that was cool.
