SF2 World Warriors| Who has more chances?

Street Fighter V
1

Each saga got his thread, i suppose the classic need one too :smiley:

I know bitch about SF veterans is the trendy thing and that many of you bitches will start claim how every single WW must be replaced by SF3/SFA/FF/Tekken/Rival School/Pokemon/Fan Fiction character

It’s ok :smiley:

Let’s discuss the chances/hopes for the iconic 12 on SFV
Of course, the 4 introduced in SSF2 are welcome here too

My hopes

Ryu- in
Ken- is a must. I don’t like shoto festival, and for what i care even Akuma can fuck off but Ryu/Ken is a must
Chun- in
Guile- i’m fine with him replaced by Charlie. I think we will see him return after in some update
Zangief- i surely hope is in and do not want Haggar as replacement. One of the most iconic that will help a lot give that SF feeling to the game
Blanka- i don’t know. His chances imho are not the greatest, but maybe being Ono’s mascotte will save him
Honda- kinda like Blanka, but without Ono’s protection lol
Dhalsim- i surely hope is in, very iconic character. The rumor that one of the new one is from India and is called Zen if true make me think he may be replaced
Cammy-
Fei Long-
Dee Jay-
T.Hawk-
Boxer-
Claw-
Sagat-
Dictator-

Posts about the World Warriors but uses an image from HDR, with five non-WW characters… go figure!

lol, posted instead edit :smiley:

last ones

Cammy- sure hope she’s in, most iconic SF girl with Chun
Fei Long- hope he’s in SF need his Bruce Lee
Dee Jay- gone
T.Hawk- gone forever hopefully
Boxer- can see him replaced by Dudley, i’m ok with that
Claw- hope he’s in, one of the best and most iconic SF designs
Sagat- kinda hope he’s in. Btw i can be fine with a new (and less shoto) muay thai fighter
Dictator- the one (with Gief) that i hope more to see return. No need add anything, he’s the fucking Dictator.

because it look better :smiley:
And because i wanted in also SSF2 new characters

I know the WW is related to SF2, but i wanted a thread about all SF2 series cast

Basically this is a 8+4+4* thread

*yes, akuma is in the pic too, but fuck akuma :smiley:

As long as Ryu and Ken are in I dont care about the rest of the cast.

The characters with more chances:
Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li. There’s no discussion these are going to be in the game.

As for the others, in order, these are the ones with higher chances:

Guile. In fact, I think there are high chances he could be a playable character, Charlie might come back as a secret character or a mid boss or perhaps even a boss, but I think his gameplay will be changed this time. If it is not and Charlie is Guile in this game, Guile may comeback in an update, but I think they’re going to change Charlie’s gameplay anyway.

Bison. He has a very unique gameplay, and he’s important for the story. Super high chances.

Zangief. He’s the quintaessential grappler, I’d be nothing surprised he makes up the cut, but I would really like another grappler to take his place.

These have mid chances:

Balrog. I would say retire him, but his ending in SSFIV seemed to be leading to something else, so there’s a middle chance we could see him back.

Dhalsim. He seems to have a strong fanbase/userbase, as for myself I find it really boring and I don’t think he could work in a more offensive game like Street Fighter V, they should replace him with Necro, but Necro has never been too popular.

Sagat. He’s really popular, but not that necessary. And it seems like they gave his storyline a closure in Super Street Fighter IV, maybe they had planned retiring him.

Vega. His gameplay is truly unique, although he has become less effective with the passing of time. I don’t really see anyone else replacing him, not even Rolento, so there are chances he could be in, but also he’s really nothing important for the storyline, and remember Shadaloo was supposed to be dismantled, so having back the four bosses again wouldn’t make much sense, so maybe they will skip him.

These have low chances, in my opinion:

Blanka and Honda. They are the least favored of the original 8, they didn’t show up until Alpha 3, for example, so I’d say they’re the most disposables from the cast. Their gameplay is not really that unique and they could be replaced. But if the other original 8 are included, they will almost forcefully appear.

Cammy. She has been central in many sagas like Alpha, II and even IV, I think it’s time to give her a race, her gameplay’s good for games like SFII and IV, but I always found her a little lacking and I don’t think she could adapt.

Fei Long. OK, they gave him a proper come back in Street Fighter IV but he has been really spoiled since then. I picture him being replaced in favour of Karin or Yang.

**Dee Jay and T. Hawk. **You gotta be kidding me. These guys have basically zero chances.

I could see Vega’s Spanish ninjutsu replaced by Geki’s… actual Japanese ninjutsu. It’s all in the claw…

10

There are already too many Japanese in the series. Ryu and probably Ibuki and Makoto have chances on this. Vega is the only Spanish character from the series, I think if they have to pick between Vega and Geki, they would pick Vega…

11

I just want Cammy, Dictator, Gief and Honda. All the rest can go to hell.

12

Was the word “fucking” even necessary? I see what you did there, i get it, it’s " Street Fighter II " the most legendary fighting game ever, but i dunno man, i just don’t know.

13

I don’t think it is necessary to kill the whole SF2 cast to have a fresh feel, but 4-5 slots in the first iteration and 8-9 in the final one are enough. That said, other than Cammy I think nobody is safe now that they likely replaced Guile with Charlie.

I like Fei Long, Cammy and Claw for a return; Dictator only if this is truly before SF3 since “Shadaloo vs Illuminati” sounds awesome.

I have secret hopes Ryu is the only shoto in the first version. Sagat can come up if that means no Akuma and Ken.

Although I have played and enjoyed Zangief before, I want him gone along the pure grappler archetype: Capcom has had this attitude of “if he doesn’t suck, he ain’t Gief” for a long time and have nerfed him and every other pure grappler at every chance they have gotten: at least Cammy and Fei got to taste the feeling of being top tier. Just get rid of pure grapplers if you can’t stand the sight of them winning. I’ll be fine with hybrids like Alex and Abel: Haggar could retain the signature Zangief moves while being faster and more hit oriented.

14

I would love if they make a grappler like Stun fro bloody roar. That would be an instant main.

15

Can we get a thread title change, please?

16

Haha’

17

do you post in any section on srk other than this one…?

gief and bison were prominently shown in wreck it ralph. gief was even mentioned by name more than once. i think they have enough mainstream appeal to come back. the moves shouldnt be recycled so closely though. any returning character should be changed much more significantly than sf2->sf4.

india has over a billion people. i dont get why zen would replace sim. i dont even like sim but at least use logic that makes sense.

blanka, honda, fei, hawk and deejay should all die in a fire. what a waste it would be to bring any of them back. personally i dont think rog adds anything of value either.

18

What the hell is wrong with fei? I get the feeling the only reason people hate him is because he is top tier in SFIV. I don’t mind if he doesn’t make it, but I wouldn’t put him in the with the likes of blanka, honda, and hawk.

19

I’m kinda on the same opinion if we talk about gameplay, but still want they keep The Gief

Dude have huge fanbase/legacy, super iconic design that will help give “SF feeling” to SFV, he’s THE russian of SF, wrestled bears, dance with Gorbachev, have an atomic powered mech version of himself and so on… he was even in Wreck it Ralph and is the official (LOL) Champion of the SF4 tournament :smiley:

As character itself go for Haggar will be huge mistake imho

As gameplay i agree
I just want they find a way to improve his style… but tbh we don’t know how a SFV Gief will work, maybe what don’t work on SF4 game design will be more effective on SFV?

Also the Ono comment that “my Ryu will be different from your Ryu”, make me think that if in SFV we will be able to chose if play as full grappler, hybrid or brawler :smiley:

Wasn’t that referred to the “gem system” from SFxTK?
