Mains - Who and why?

Balrog is my guy, and I thought I’d go with Bison until Balrog becomes available. Then I discovered the zombie Charlie Nashenstein and I like using him the most right now, with Bison as a sub I guess. Buy I still want to look at Laura’s titties learn Laura eventually as well.

Just Rashid, only character the interests me at the moment.

Birdie. I stuck with him since Alpha days and it’s nice to have him not be as shitty as he used to be. The chains and food usage are a nice touch.

I’m a viper main but I’m trying different characters to try and find a new main. I’m playing Necalli and Bison

Ken and Zangief, and the reason is pretty simple: They’re both fun as hell

I like throwing fireballs, so I’m playing Ryu so far. I tried out FANG, but I don’t like the fact that his arc fireballs are a down charge, so that you can’t control your spacing while using them.
Most likely I’ll play Guile after he comes out, unless Ryu is clearly better.

Laura.

Mixups.

Ryu

Because beginner… and everyone says to use him

That would be true in previous SF games. In this one, pick the character you want to play because everyone plays different with their own unique V system.

Ken bc hes all ive ever played in sf besides dudley in 3s/super and because shotos are the only playstyle that makes sense to me

Vega.

Flashy, mobile, rage inducing poke game. Plus I like the stances, both feel unique and good for different situations.
I’ll go ahead and include R. Mika because she will be hokage. Believe it.

I’m loving Chun li and Karin so far, both have good walkspeed, buttons and I like their playstyle a lot not to mention that I love their design as wel, but I will be playing most of the cast eventually.

I was a ryu main in sf4 and I played him for the first week in 5. I realized a lot of characters outrange him and everyone seems to be fresh aside from ryu so I have since picked up Ken.

His run is just so cool IMO and his flames look even better than before. I’m also interested in Nash because his normals seem good and it’s easy to confirm into some moves along to the super.

Ken has been my main since turbo and that is never going to change.

Vega as I like characters with masks. And he seems very tricky and versatile.

Mika.

Because love.

Necalli because he seemed well rounded, highly damaging and simple to understand before I started and now that I’ve been practicing with him, his pressure is INSANE. If you are properly applying his Valiant Rebellion, the grey life damage stacks REAL fast.

Cammy, she is fun and i like how she looks.

When Juri is getting released i will main her and Cammy as alt though.

R.Mika 100%

She has the same spirit as El Fuarte, which is to say a showman of fighting, who does not need to be taken seriously.

So far, I’ve had the most fun with Vega and Nash. His claw range on his normals make his footsie game strong, and his damage isn’t bad either with claw off. I like Nash because I think he controls space well. I’ve also had some fun with Ryu though, partially cuz I love his v-trigger
EDIT: RYUUUU BOYZZZZZZ
