Solid starting roster. Like I said in another thread, Ken and Blanka in was all I needed to know. Hopefully Balrog and Sagat are eventually added though, two of my other favourites.

I was really hoping for Sean to make the roster.
Roster has been leaked months ago lol

That's not the exact roster tho. 4 from that leak aren't in the launch roster.

18 sounds like a lot to me but half are very uninspired. Hopefully Sagat, Vega and Bison make it later on
You have a tight game with these top characters, it's all you need and to add any more they have to be very good.
Meek Fighter meets Street Fighter. I give the artist some credit in capturing the empty disenchanted feeling.

I hope M. Bison (Dictator) makes it in… he’s always been my favorite character to play

Jfc, the top imagine looks so much more badass it’s not even close.

I'd have prefered 22 or even 24, but 18 is more than fine for me specially considering you'll have a super complete character editor where you'll be able to save many creations.
It features:
I think they did a very complete and diverse cast specially when compared to previous games, and that will allow their target audience find some character they'll like/identify with (not talking about specific characters or gameplay).
Roster size of the original debut in every SF series:
It features:
- The 8 original SF2 characters (44.44%)
- 6 brand new characters (33.33%)
- 2 SSF2 characters (11.11%)
- 1 SFIV character (5.56%)
- 1 SFV character (5.56%)
- Very complete character editor where you can save many different user created characters
- 11 men (61.11%)
- 7 women (38.89%)
- 8 white/caucasian (44.44%)
- 5 Asian (27.78%)
- 2 black (11.11%)
- 1 native American (5.56%)
- 1 Indian (5.56%)
- 1 monster (5.56%)
- 7 from Asia (counting Zangief as Syberian -located in the Asian part of Russia- since several attacks mentions Syberia)
- 4 from USA (counting Jamie as from HK according to his flag in the leak)
- 4 from Europe (counting JP as European since the richest Russian cities are in the European side of Russia)
- 3 from Latin America
I think they did a very complete and diverse cast specially when compared to previous games, and that will allow their target audience find some character they'll like/identify with (not talking about specific characters or gameplay).
Roster size of the original debut in every SF series:
- SF1 2 characters
- SF2 8 characters
- SFA 13 characters (counting 3 hidden ones)
- SF3 12 characters (counting 1 hidden one and Yun and Yang separatedly)
- SFEX 14 characters (counting 4 hidden one)
- SFIV 17 characters (counting 1 hidden one)
- SFV 16 characters (you were able to unlock several DLC characters for free with no grinding)
- SF6 18 characters + character editor (we don't know if it has hidden ones and if you will be able to unlock DLC characters for free as in SFV)

We want the OG roster, Sagat, Vega, Blanka, M Bison, Balrog etc.

Putting that Luke thing front and center is deflating. It's superficial, but they say 'pick the character you think is coolest'. Same is said about picking a game. Making Luke and Jaime an analogous ken and ryu is... Well I hope somebody likes it.

It's fucking crap, that's what it is.
Apparently they said they want to make luke the new face of Street Fighter, superseding Ryu. FUCKING LUKE.

Why does Dhalsim look like Father Christmas? Blanka has train robber outfit. Guile has WW1 facial hair. Ryu doesn't know where the camera is and Ken is drogs dealer.
Da fuque?

For me this is a good size roster. Seems to have an archetype for everyone.

Looks like a good amount of characters. I’m waiting for Sakura and Ibuki to show up before I buy it.

Single player content or bust. I don't want SF becoming MVC2.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Yah, barely change since the previous titles

Capcom, it is time to add a Pakistani character.
Even Darun Mister was based upon The Great Gama, a Pakistani pehlwani wrestler and strongman.

We have to consider that the game is going to have at launch basically all current SFV game modes, the 'open world'/Final Fight story mode with the character editor and customization stuff, additional modes like the crazy fun Extreme battles and the 'Street Fighter metaverse' Battle Hub where you'll not only interact and play with other players using the customized avatars, but you'll also able to play there retro games.
Street Fighter 6 will have a shit ton of extra work and budget compared to all previous Street Fighter games.
Even regarding the roster itself, this game has a shit ton of mechanics and characters have way more moves and possibilities compared to previous ones, so each character now requires more work than before.
It will have more single player content at launch than any previous Capcom fighting game.

I'm not really into Street Fighter, but Tekken, once one of my favourite game franchises, really lost me when they ripped characters that had been in every Tekken ever out of the game and spread them out into what, 4-5 season passes? Na, thanks. I'm getting a "complete edition" five years in for twenty bucks.
Im happy with the initial roster and prob get the game on ps5 or xbox x and then also on steam for pc, plus prob buy all the dlc charachter passes which will come, to me this is one game where you cant complain that they selling charachter passes ever year, do people think they can just make charachters in a day and shove them in, im happy to see what they done so far and is miles more then any streetfighter before it
