most wanted characters for me at this point
Most Needed: Urien - self explanatory for me. Favorite character in the series, love my Pillar Man archetypes. Also had my favorite playstyle, just a sick design in general and I think he would look much better in 6 and probably closer to Daigo Ikeno’s 3s portrait of him which is my favorite official Urien art.
Need: Necro, Twelve, Eagle, Sodom, Alex
-need more weirdo characters and I want to see how they can differentiate Necro and Dhalsim in this game’s style. Twelve is maybe the strangest character in the series and his completely weirdo playstyle deserves to be in a game where they can actually balance it. Eagle has basically only been in sf1 but has a very unique design and I think would stand out and round out the cast. Sodom is just very iconic in Alpha to me and he’s the only mainline Alpha character not playable in the 3d era games yet. Alex story is too interesting not to bring him back and sfv dropped the ball hard on him. He’s also my favorite MC in sf.
Want: Makoto, Dudley, Oro, Gill, Seth, Adon
-I just really like sf3, but also Seth’s redesign in V was great and I want to see where they take that. Adon is cool, that’s all.
yeah I definitely like Dudley more than Ed but I can also understand Ed getting priority since he has a lot going in storywise (even if imo they shouldve just had Falke absorb that entire role). I won’t be surprised if Balrog is in but I don’t feel he’s all that needed here. Maybe waaaay down the line like how V brought in Honda at the very end (speaking of which his redesign is amazing)A good list, I'd have definitely preferred to see Dudley make his return as the premier boxer of SF6 over Ed, but there's room for both of them. I don't think I'd shed tears if they had Balrog miss out on this installment and went with a Dudley + Ed boxer package this time around, as Ed can carry some Balrog traits with him.
damn thats a great idea actually, her whole design is completely unique from everyone else in any of the games, and we know so little about her. Necro sings a lot in 3s, and they do some synchronized posing, sk maybe that’s her influence on him or somethingSpeaking of Necro, I think it could be neat to give his girlfriend Effie the Kolin treatment and bring her back playable as we step into the post-Bison era. I remember reading the Udon comic at some point that featured her actually doing some impressive things, and made me think that would be interesting as a character.
zero clue why Haggar has never been in an SF game. Makes no sense to me, the people love himI feel Mike Haggar is overdue for an appearance since he's easily been the most glaring omission from the Final Fight side of things, criminal that we got Abigail before him. Giving him some of the Cody flourish where he can bust out weapons like the steel pipe would do enough to differentiate him from Zangief, and that's a rivalry match-up the fans would want to see. I wouldn't mind a Crimson Viper return since Juri brought up an interesting story direction from her.
I do think she would benefit from a redesign too. Sagat is awesome and one of the best sfv redesigns, they could really go crazy in 6 with him. We definitely need more G and I would also hope sf6 has most villains playable like V did (fine with them leaving out Bison though even though he’s a favorite of mine)Elena is a character I'd be interested in seeing get a complete Dee Jay style design overhaul. If they give her a more traditional Kenyan style outfit and design and Kenyan influences in her theme, nerf her healing tech then I'd be excited to see what they came up with as the capoeira style feels appropriate for the game. I also get Elena vibes from what they tried to do with Lily's character.
Sagat is a must for me as one of my favorites, and we need G because there are too many questions yet to be answered there.
