Mika for Zangief Nash or Remy for Guile

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I preferred the Guile and Charlie/Nash dynamic even Remy from 3rd Strike would be a cool contender to come back and take on that kind of stoic, moral high composed role and see Luke more as being paired with Ryu as a kinda unorthodox paring as they are both different and there fightings styles directly juxtapose each other Ryu's formal martial art vs Lukes wild and undefined MMA style. This would then push Ryu to take on a mentor role turning him into the new Gouken style character that fits his natural progression and have Luke as his "Student" as Sakura seems to be stepping away from fighting to focus on a family like Gohan from DBZ/DBS so someone needs to fill that role

I felt like Sakura's story conclusion in SFV kinda determined that she isn't really all that hyped about fighting anymore, and is focusing on starting a family.

That way you can keep the character dead but still have someone who fills that same play style (and continue the meta joke of Remy having filled that role in 3 to replace Guile). 2) Makoto's scarf was a tech demo for the way you could animate in Third Strike's engine, so having her show off how you can animate fighting game characters in the RE Engine makes a LOT of sense. So yeah, big agree on wanting her back even if just for that. 3) If this is an attempt to keep moving the timeline forward... I kinda wanna see a new character who's the actual genetic kid of a classic character. Like Mel or Guile's daughter being old enough to start getting into Street Fighting themselves, or maybe it's the son/daughter of an Alpha character who hasn't been back in a while and the reason we haven't seen said character since then is because they were too busy raising said kid.

I REEEEEEEALLY want to see Dean from Final Fight 3 come back, Lucia got 5, Dean should get 6, he has so much potential, electric attacks, buff and intimidating, not quite as imposing as Haggar, but jacked enough to know he means business, that would honestly sell the game to me, just to play that badass again

[@samaintlackin]

Guile have to return because of the story they are building with Luke (he is like a big brother for him)

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I preferred the Guile and Charlie/Nash dynamic heck even Remy from 3rd Strike would be a cool contender to come back and take on that kind of stoic, moral high composed role and see Luke more as being paired with Ryu as a kinda unorthodox paring as they are both different and there fightings styles directly juxtapose each other Ryu's formal martial art vs Lukes wild and undefined MMA style. This would then push Ryu to take on a mentor role turning him into the new Gouken style character that fits his natural progression and have Luke as his "Student" as Sakura seems to be stepping away from fighting to focus on a family like Gohan from DBZ/DBS so someone needs to fill that role

[@luigiosmbz]

In my own personal list, I also wanted Sean to definitely return, but my personal idea for a rivalry wouldn't be with Luke, but Mel, Ken's son. If this were to take place after 3rd Strike somehow, imagine a young adult Mel, who learned to fight like his dad, being friendly rivals with Ken's pupil, like the Gouken to their Ryu and Ken.

[@gannielukks1811]

Sean would be a foster-master to him

[@tjhunter9787]

I'm very confident that Oro will make a return given how the story says that Ryu has been training under him in SF3. Also in terms of how a mix of Yun and Yang should work is basically as a loveletter to MVC where one character is on the field and they switch using a super-armored kick. To cut down on some work if needed they can share supers and win poses etc.

[@gannielukks1811]

Ryu training in Brazil with Oro to became even more powerful? Only the strongest survives Brazil.

[@TheAmazingHow]

The DeeJay take was clairvoyant

[@cedrichollowell856]

Yes yes yes. Sean, Eagle, Dudley, DJ remixed, Gouken, Twelve, Elena. Mainly Sean and Dudley. The idea with the ball extender is legit. I think you should be able to bounce it off any of the 4 corners of the screen though. I also wanna see street fighter alpha air combat return as well.

[@pheinu]

I agree on G, he definitely should and most likely will return. On the other hand, I'm a Q fanboy and I fear we will never see him again other than as a costume for G.

[@KingKP96]

I just want Q back so bad. There's this weird stigma that people have that we have G so that's the same as Q which is just insane. Not only have they NEVER been confirmed to have anything to do with each other, even if they are the same character they play so different from each other. I just want the brutal unrefined brawler style that Q had back in Third Strike.

[@pheinu]

Ah, a fellow Q enjoyer. It's sad to see folks dismiss Q completely just because G exists and has some similar animations and a one letter name. I always preferred the more clumsy, physical and unrefined style of Q to the more showman-esque and elemental/magical style of G.

[@KingKP96]

[@Bupernox]

Give me Makoto with her Geese Howard looking outfit from the SF4 concept art. She was such a fun character and kinda broke the trend of female fighters being delicate and agile by being a clunky tomboy who punched harder than a grown man. Give her a visual design tweak and I reckon she could work really well going forward.

[@EMGGYourImagination]

I have an idea for Makoto if she ever comes back in SF6. All 3 of her specials will be her CA. Her Tanden-Renki activates, press a button and she grabs her opponent and chokes them, staggering them. Then part of her Abare Tosanami happens, and finish it off with her Seichusen-Godanzuki.

[@Frankenburger]

I'd like to see Poison return. It would be a missed opportunity for Capcom to not iterate further on her new fighting style considering her SFxT/SF4 iterations were arguably shoto.

[@cthulhu888]

I feel like poison is one of the new mainstays like juri, especially of the final fight crew

[@Neoxon619]

My biggest hope is that the base roster has more than two Black characters. For reference, the only Black newcomer we got since Street Fighter came back with SFIV was Laura (half Afro-Brazilian, half Japanese). Likewise, the last time we had more than two Black characters in a SF base roster was SFIII with Dudley, Sean, & Elena. So on top of my hope for Dudley (who has a high chance of returning anyway) & Sean to come back on Day 1, I hope we get at least one Black newcomer in the base roster. A Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) character in particular would be nice, but I may be biased since I’m Eritrean-American. Maybe they can revisit the King Cobra concept from SFIV like they repurposed the fighting president concept from SFIV for G.

[@diodacynic6236]

Q has to return, his story was a huge cliffhanger and has been hanging for like 20+ years

[@jherrenor]

I want Gen to come back somehow. For a character that has beaten Akuma they did him dirty in SFV by killing him off screen. But since we only know that from the accounts of one character, it may not have been true. In fact, not only do I want him back, I think it might be cool if they had him as a Grandmaster final boss for some of the fighters.

[@Bust_A_Nut_bar]

Great idea Loved that character since the first game Would be an awesome final boss

Max seems to forget that SF rosters usually always follow the story, this will be a new era, there will be a new boss. Ryu killed Bison, literally erased his existence.

[@aerostrafe1075]

Because no one knows SF6 story then no one can say Bison won't appear because of "the story". Anything can be done to have him in the game in some way at all so dismissing the chance is rather silly. Its a wait and see situation for everyone.

You cannot kill Bison, you can destroy his body but his essence will move to a new host. For Ryu it was the most important day of his life when he "killed" Bison, for Bison it was Tuesday.

[@mepose420]

I'm so glad to hear that Max is 100% on board that the fact that Ken is coming back while the other content creators I've watched believe that they're not sure that he's coming back simply because Luke has a similar personality and he's the face of SF6

Makoto has to since she is an SFIII character and supposedly SF6 is going to be a continuation so she definetly has to return. As for Guy, I just want to see where he was during SFV and where was he when Cody became mayor. Plus, I feel like Zeku already had his fun in V as his replacement and Guy has to return. Although, I think it would be ten times better if both Guy and Zeku returned since Zeku did have some unique stuff that Guy never had so I can see Zeku coming back along with Guy. That is if age doesn't get the best of him. But it is more than likely Guy will return.

And it's the perfect game to do so because this games narrative seems to stem from ending character arcs and making new ones going forward.

[@chidorisnake22]

I've said this somewhere else before (I think on one of Vesper's videos about this same topic)--and I'm sure I'm in the minority in thinking this--but I am personally kinda burnt out from the World Warrior cast tbh. It made sense in SFIV because that's the first game since the commercial failure that was SFIII, so they had to nostalgia bait. SFV was technically the 30th anniversary game that was supposed to be a celebration of SF's history (also some nostalgia bait to make up for SFV's blunder of a launch), so that made sense too. But with SF6, the goal seems to be to move the story forward in a new direction focused on a new generation of SF characters: I think this is the time to let some of the World Warriors take a back seat to accomplish this, and let some characters from SFIII and SFV take on the mantle, with a couple of forgotten New Challengers, Alpha characters, and SFIV returnees sprinkled in. I'd love to see Capcom successfully pull off an MKX and have the newer/younger cast shine this time around, but that's probably just me.

[@ZtotheMills]

Deejay has some of my absolute FAVORITE moves in SF. The rapid fire uppercuts look so fricken cool to me. I'm also 100% for Oni, Makoto and Dudley. My personal additions would be Remy and Hakan. (Edit) Was just reminded that Maki exists too.... MAN shes cool!
