Ideal roster, saving 4 spaces for new characters, coming from someone who never plays SF but likes the characters:
- Ryu
- Chun-Li
- Bison
- Dan
- Charlie Nash
- Rose
- Alex
- Makoto
- Sean
- Juri
- Hakan
- C.Viper
Only 2 brand new characters would be a big letdown.

I appreciate that it exists, and I'm interested in how it's shaping up - it looks like a more solid game than Brawlhalla, in any case. But I'm wary, not excited. It's not like I know enough about Smash to see what's good about RoA and what isn't.
For me it's not a big deal as long as the returning characters feel new. New moves, mechanics, ect.
I'd rather have new versions of existing iconic characters than new characters just for the sake of being new.

Seriously though, who the fuck would miss Honda is he wasn't in?
And Necro is much better than Dhalsim, his animations do the stretchy guy archetype much better.
It's much better animation, how he puts momentum into his limbs to stretch them.

Now comes months and months of slow character reveals...This the part I most about unreleased fighting games.
Didn't Charlie like, die when Sean and Makato were in grade school?

As long as Ibuki and Makoto make it in to 5 at some point I'll be happy. Also Urien pls.
Ya actually, that latest trailer got me pretty interested. Looks fun.

Necro is one of my favorite SF characters. I really hope we get to see him again someday

Yea, they are pretty good (Necros).
I did like Sims animations in SvC though as well.
Dark Pit's F-tilt has less knockback, arrows have less range and can't be curved as much but do slightly more damage fully charged. Side-B's knockback angle is more horizontal. I think that's it. Also his final smash is different and he gets his own victory theme lol.

If the rumor is true we may as well just guess about the remaining five at best. Just work backwards. Here, I'll start. LOL we aren't getting Q.
Eight world warriors+Juri/Viper/Abel+Remaining five
I don't hate Sagat, Vega or Bison at all, but with a cap of 16 this could be the most boring initial roster ever in a fighter unless some serious cuts happen with seemingly guaranteed characters.

And they have this guy instead of Mewtwo already in the game.

I'd also like to know this.
It seems like everyone's discussing confirmed information that I somehow missed.
From where are these rumors originating?

Sony isn't exactly in the best financial shape and they're busy fending off a rogue state's cyber spying. This isn't PS3 era Sony.

Oh I guess Blanka will get in probably huh

While I wish it was a tiny bit more, I guess I wouldn't mind 16 characters if that ended up being the initial number.
Not sure who I'd want in at the start, I'm almost fine with anything.
My most wanted in 4 was Ibuki, but she turned out way different than 3.
I know Rival Schools isn't really in SF canon, but it would still be neat to see them used here and there.

I'd rather there be a fresher start than the same old same old.
They already said that there will be updates so returning characters are a given and will be a much easier sell than new characters. This also gives new characters a better chance to catch on.

Fucking do it, Capcom.

It would be awesome if they opened up the series a little to their other characters, make it an all stars of sorts or KOF if they are going to just make one fighting game.

We couldn't get a single Rival Schools rep in Marvel vs Capcom 3 or UMvC3 with their large rosters. There isn't enough blood in this world to sacrifice for a slot in Street Fighter. Believing otherwise for a second is even more hopeless than expecting Darktsalkers IV.
