So who were the leaked fighters again? As they are obviously dlc, the ones not here, disappointing, but this is highest quality street fighter has ever looked and I'm all in 
Edit:
Akuma, Rashid, Aki, ed? I'm sure I'm missing two others.

Sounds good, especially seeing how diverse in gameplay the characters will be.

Had the chance to play this on PS5 at gamescom and it has this cool feature where a sports commentator describes how the match is going during the fight.
Beautiful looking game. It had tearing/v-sync issues but probably because they're still working on the game.
Played well as far as I'm concerned. Great fun.

ONLY 18 characters, Almost half being brand-new characters and the rest having more moves than ever before.
Street Fighter 6 is going to be fucking crazy!
I'm beyond excited.

8 new? I count 6 being brand new
But I'm also beyond excited, hopefully get to fight some of my fellow GAF members online in the future

I still count Luke as brand new despite him showing up extremely late in sf5.8 new? I count 6 being brand new

Some of the older characters have so many new moves they might as well be considered new too.
Also, from my perspective I barely touched sf5 so some of these characters will be hyper new to me.

Haha, I'm genuinely impressed with how extensive these move sets are looking in all honestyI still count Luke as brand new despite him showing up extremely late in sf5.

Aki is the poison fangs girl from the leaks?
It's unfortunate if she's not there on day 1 she was my favorite of the leaks.
Holy fuck tho I feel like I need to avoid SF discussions for a while, I find the smugness surrounding Cammy's redesign incredibly annoying.
I don't like it at all and think it's bland and boring, people can like it if they want but this whole obsession with pants and turning it into some social issue is fucking annoying and drives me insane.
The articles about it are coming I can smell them from a mile away.
The smug and condescending attitude is just rly annoying especially with how it's turned into some kind of '' own ''.
At least her OG was leaked too.
I just hope future characters can get a bit more fun with the character designs, I feel like except for Juri there's just not much to them at all.
I get the whole urban hip hop vibe but everyone just wearing basic ass clothes basically is incredibly dull especially in a genre that is otherwise so expressive.
Strive still managed to '' tone down '' the Anime designs and make them look good.

No Vega or Ibuki but there’s a good chance I’ll get the game anyways and play Chun and Juri while I wait for DLC characters. I’ll try out other new characters too of course, probably starting with Kimberly because I always gravitate to characters with Izuna drops.

Give it a few more minutes & Chun-Li will look plenty blue from holding her breath.Wow the diversity is off the charts, but I'm angry that it doesn't represent my fellow Blue Men!

Hell of a starting roster.
Anyone taking bets on the unlock character?

Damn so looking like Rashid, Ed, Akuma and A.K.I are S1 dlc and no chance of SF3 characters until S2. =/

Why would you be bothered by Cammy's redesign? It looks great & is optional.
& Don't worry her classic design is in the game too, with a great slowmotion ass shot during her super.
this might make you feel better seeing it performed on the redesign too!

"ONLY" 18?
Most fighting games I remember had like 10 at launch.
18 is plenty - and everyone knows it will get tons more post launch.
All I know is...
Q and Sean better show up at some point in SF6.

The game could launch with literally just cammy and I would still get it day 1.

Unpopular opinion, but I think it's time for El Fuerte to return to discombobulate everyone!

This. Non FG players still thinking in 2022 this is low number and think it's same game as COD or Fortnite where characters have same movesets.

Exactly, i just hope Singleplayer content will also be available at launch.

Given the current business model around fighting games (of which I'm not a fan), I guess people should be happy they're getting two more characters over base SF5, rather than less. At this point, I just want to see what the DLC roadmap and its pricing look like.

It's the only reason I'd buy the game. Hope there's a lot of stuff to do at launch!

I wonder if this how they are planning on getting input delay down on ps5? :/
Due to continued complaints about higher input latency on fighting games on ps5.

18 is a very solid base roster considering the graphical improvement. Still a bit bummed that the 4 remaining characters from the leaks are not included.

Yup, I'd take 18 well balanced characters all day. This actually gets me more hyped.
Focus on your core character base then add properly balanced characters later on!

Dunno why OP thought 18 deserved an "only".

Thats fine, the content of the game looks awesome.
But this might be the first SF game i don’t buy because the art style and characters look so bad its insulting. I mean look at Tekken, then look at this Fortnite looking crap, they have bigger muscles and body proportions than Tekken. Look at the custom characters head to shoulder ratio… like wtf

Imo, 18 characters is plenty and they seem diverse. What’s really the point of really huge rosters anyway especially in this day and age when most players will just migrate to the top tiers anyway? Games have like 50 characters, yet online or most tournaments seemingly consist of the same top 8 characters dominating.

Wants to be SF:III but is afraid of alienating the audience so relying on World Warriors again... Not interested.
