[@tank7013]

@@Wilkins325 I get that. Max generally doesn't buy this line of thinking though and having watched this stream he definitely was being sarcastic here. It even came up a seperate time and he just outright said he was being sarcastic

[@natsuquilava7917]

The thing is when you kill a character, people don't expect them to come back unless hints are left for their return, and usually if a character DOES die the story now has to explain how they were brought back or that they were never ACTUALLY dead to begin with. Plus, on top of all that, if a character is killed and seen as important enough to bring back, then they should have some important reason to be there or it raises the question of why revive them to begin with instead of making a new character? There's a reason most fighting games don't kill characters often. Nash is a good example, at least imo, of a character being brought back done right. Charlie was brought back by the illuminati, with what seems to be the same tech used to make Twelve, and his return served to show even more of what kind of stuff the illuminati is capable of. Plus, SFV was supposed to show the end of Shadoloo, so bringing Charlie back for one last shot at Bison as well as to give some closure for Guile works narratively. After that? He stays dead (At least I'm hoping otherwise, again, why kill him the second time?) as now, his story is essentially over. While I can understand people's problems with this logic, as they still want to play the characters they like, it also leads to a situation where either no one is allowed to really die, aside from the villain of the game (which works for most fighting games to my knowledge since many of them don't even have canon endings for characters till the next game), or leads to dragonball syndrome where death and revival happen so often that a character dying means nothing so you may as well not kill them at all. Now while the former is fine and works for most games, it also means we don't often get stories like Guile and Charlie's. So when we do get stories like that, it should actually mean something. Tl;Dr Fighting games don't tend to kill characters often, at least not in canon endings, but when they do, I feel they should have SOME sense of permanence to them otherwise it defeats the point of killing them to begin with and makes death mean nothing in the story

An Apex pro by the name of Noko said it was the hardest game he had played in his life. Dude literally called SF5 players gods.

I feel like Adon could be made into such a cool character, I really wanna see them try to implement him again.

[@alittlebirdi]

Just drop Rufus and give us King Cobra goddammit!

[@ayers01]

I could see a great story to introduce him. Since Rufus watches a lot of martial art movies and built his fighting style from them. What if King Cobra's an American action movie star that Rufus based it on? It could lead to a slight variation of the style, but from a master user of it. And also lead to a rivalry between King Cobra and Fei Long, such as for best Kung Fu actor in the world.

[@animefreak780]

Adon needs to come back. Actual Muay Thai fighter. El Fuerte should come back but matured from hanging out with T.Hawk. Those 2 no matter how much you dislike them are hype, fun, and bring an energy SF needs.

[@joedatius]

Rashid already has that energy and does it WAY better.

[@joedatius]

@Cristo Alba bro if you think Rashid of all people is forgettable then you simply have one of the most niche opinions in the entire community. Rashid is insanely popular and has been since he was revealed and at this point is SFV's golden child of new characters.

Adon absolutely needs to be in SF6, super fun in both Alpha and SF4. Some of the most hype moments in SF4 history include Adon

Gameplay wise Ed is one of my favorites SFV characters but jesus tyhey really need to just give him a re-design and a personality. Since he's got the whole boxing apprentice thing going on just have him get beat up by Dudley and have Dudley become his new teacher and have him become all prim and proper while expanding on the Psycho energy stuff

2:34 no you're wrong FANG is the best hope for a good vilain in sf6, he is not a god that no one understands, he is not M "Lame" Bison, he is a man that will burn the world to bring psyco power to a ruling position FANG MELTS people when they get in his way, what does gill do? talks? my hope for the final boss in sf6 is for FANG to be possed by psyco power, be distorted by it (something like Faust in strive maybe), and summon a Bison stand as a cheap boss mechanic

[@spectr4736]

I think Fang just looks too weird. There’s definitely some goofy character designs in SF but Fang is just weird in a way that doesn’t really fit with the rest of the cast, it’s hard to explain. Also his gameplay style I think is pretty niche so not that many people are going to be interested in him on gameplay alone.

[@LOL-gn5oh]

To be honest, I think the only way for SF to regain the attention of casuals is to use the Smash Ultimate/Tekken Tag Tournament strategy: They should bring back all the characters from the past games and make the ultimate Street Fighter game. At this point, this franchise will not last if they keep pushing regular players away and focusing only on the eSports aspect.

[@charlestonobryant807]

That’s what they did with SFIV after 3 lacked the World Warriors entirely. Plus Tag Tournament 2 wasn’t that successful, and 7 what was what put the series back on a upward trend. I think that will end up being the case, but personally I feel It would just feel redundant to have 2 games in the series be “this is the return of the OG’s”
