Wouldnt mind goutetsu as long as he plays nothing like conventional shotos or even gouken

It doesn’t matter because he was scrapped. Gen will live to a hundred, because Gen is that fucking strong. Yes, Gen kicks Cancer’s ass. We need no pretender. Bring back Gen and fuck this apprentice nonsense.

They could introduce a de-aged Gen like Young Heihachi in TTT2.

Maybe in a prequel.

But I see no reason why a very old Gen can’t fight. Oro is 140 years old.

The new generation/apprentice ideas aren’t inherently bad, but the actual character needs to stand out on their own. Simply basing their moves off a more popular character and explaining it like that doesn’t carry over too many of the original fans. If Gen or Rose’s apprentices were actually cool enough concepts to warrant inclusion over their masters, I’d be all for it.

If i can get total new characters, Gen’s disciple will be one of them:
**
Smalt Raven-** think a mix of Oswald and Robert from KoF + electric specials. Must feel professional and essential but still stylish/elegant. Conceptually C.Viper type of technical char with high mobility

Gen’s disciple- think a mix of Gen and Gato from MotW. Pretty technical but also fast, dynamic and kinda powerful. Give him 2 stances as Gen pls, be it Mantis/Crane like him or other two kung fu styles. Still want original Gen in btw
**
Kolin/Helen-** ice based char, heavy dependent on her powers a la Rose. Get unique (until Gill) ā€œfreezeā€ mechanic, maybe V-trigger similar to Sim’s. Standard design as Kolin but Helen design at least as story alt

Rose’s disciple- as male Soul Power user. Not good as Rose with his SP and without projectiles (or max half stage stuff), but compensate with better physical fight style. Use his SP at closer range, more to boost his hand-to-hand combat. As char think like TK7 Claudio, or a V. Rosso rip-off lol

Azam- Big grappler but not as power based as Gief, with more speed/agility vibe (kinda T.Hawk fighter archetype) and flashy special techniques… probably the ability to use tornadoes too, but applied on his grappler style, like using tornadoes as traps and launchers

Ed- only if at least one of his start alts is’nt ā€œnormal teenagerā€ boring bs, shadaloo alt pls. Make him a quick technical boxer + psycho powers mix (specially mobility and range stuff).
Cinematic hint that he may have some projectile/long range game, may be fun have him prefer distance combat and having quick combos made to give him the time to escape

Chances are, they won’t be cool enough. So let’s stop fucking with perfection like that. Bring back Rose and Gen, reinvent them, reimagine them a little here and there, but let them keep their integrity - do not retire them just to replace them with cheap knock offs.

I don’t want an SF game starring Mel, Sakura, Amy, Li Fen, Datta, Hakan’s 17 Children, Ed, Gen’s Apprentice, Rose’s Apprentice, Akuma’s student, Yun, Yang, and Gill’s Son (Virgin Birth).

I don’t want these either

But

Gen Gato-like concept was good (the metrosexual one sucked lol), and as said will like original Gen too

Rose’ apprentice is hint in her bio and may be the chance to get a V.Rosso rip-off. And since SFV Rosso can’t happen i get any avaible chance of Darun-Hakan level rip-off

Ed is likely in you liking it or not, so better be good instead keep pretending Capcom is’nt slapping in everybody’s face that he’s future DLC char (we did’nt already spoken about that? Lol)

Edi E for season 2. I need to run people over with that cruiser.

Edi.E making it in would be mad cool, I’d honestly prefer that over Hugo/Poison/Rolento

I’d be okay with Rose stepping aside for an apprentice, but I’d really want it to be a woman. There are already so many male characters.

Of the 67 characters who have been playable in the entire series, only 18 are female: Chun-Li, Cammy, Rose, Sakura, Karin, Mika, Juli, Juni, Maki, Ingrid, Ibuki, Elena, Makoto, Viper, Juri, Poison, Decapre, and Laura. That’s about 1/4th of the entire cast. Of those, two (Maki and Ingrid) have never even been in a main SF title on a major console. I wouldn’t want to lose one of the only 16 main-line female characters in favor of a male replacement.

No.

Every cut scene in the game is rendered in real time, which is why Gill has a model. Doesn’t mean he ldeserve his own thread, especially since Capcom hasn’t announced anything.

I’m not talking about replace Rose, i will like both in

I like Rose as char, with her design and her gameplay… and i will like a male rep for Italy too (also as a chance to get V.Rosso rip-off in SFV lol)
Give them a fun dynamic and make them very different, with just Soul Power (and his total different version of some Rose techniques) as common point
Still a noob, like Rose is 80% SP and 20% physical, the disciple be 50/50 or even 60% hand-to-hand combat

While speaking of that, also this stage for them

Also male-female ratio is fine for a SF game, for the series standard SFV will end up having a nice number of females

Still i don’t wish that ratio to be forced to reach some kind of equality target, let SF be SF

Gender equality is cool tho, man! Women are 51% of the world.

I wouldn’t insist on a 50/50 gendered roster, but I think a third rather than a quarter would be nice, you know? In any case I just wouldn’t want to lose one of the few females we have. But if it’s Rose and a male apprentice, I’d be down with that.

Worked for Tekken 3.

Game really doesn’t need the ā€œnew generationā€ characters, I don’t believe in Capcom to make new designs that I prefer over the old characters and this game actually lacks characters that play like Rose/Gen so no need to replace them. Handing a season slot to an apprentice character is just too soon. I’d want to see that at season 4 at the earliest, there are just too many fan favourites to bring into the game atm they have no room for it.

Abigail

The giant of Mad Gear, sporting his leopard tank top!
It was frightening when you spotted the Goddess of Liberty¹…
It seems he’s good at quizzes.

Name: Abigail
Height: 244cm
Weight: 265kg
Blood type: AB
Birthday: October 16
Home Country: Canada
Favorite things: Banana
Dislikes: Rust²

It was said his home country was ā€œHollandā€, but looking at his passport it’s written ā€œCanadaā€.³
He was the number one strongman in Mad Gear.
He had no particular fighting style, and when angry attacked with enormous force.
And it seems he’s grown up in height.⁓

¹ That’s when Abigail appeared in Final Fight, with the Statue of Liberty in background.
² In Japanese, it also means ā€œthe hook of a songā€. And a particularly complex aesthetic concept of ā€œelegant simplicityā€. But I suppose he simply detests the rust in his chains.
³ At least this time they TRY to justify the nationality change, huh…
⁓ The last confirmation they’re trolling us even with measurements, if ever there was a necessity to prove it.

Enjoying these Mad Gear profiles. It’d be cool to get a new design for Roxy that differentiates her from Poison.

Why no Ingrid before starting with the Final Fight guys?!?!

Because Ingrid is a non-canon disaster who will hopefully stay that way, friend.
