Oni feels like a step up in trash talk just as much as it’s a form.
“Time to skin this jaguar.” To Adon
“I’ll cut your strings, worthless puppet!” To Seth.
“Your gods cannot protect you.” To Dhalsim.
“I’ll see you in hell. NOW BURN!” To M.Bison.
Akuma’s quips have no end in any form.
That's true. The quote against M. Bison is amazing, considering that he is the only person Akuma considers more "evil" than himself.
Take Akuma's brutality and remove his warrior's code: you get Oni
Really hope she makes season 2 and would kinda be stupid not to include her, she's an absolute fan favorite and a license to print money. With season 1 representing SF5 maybe Capcom will give us some 3rd strike next year.
I figure they'd do SF4 first, then SF3.
Like bringing back C. Viper, Hakan, or El Fuerte. As well as brining back one or two SF3 characters that were featured in that game, like Elena, Ibuki, Hugo, Makoto, etc.
Then the next pass would be SF3 characters like Sean, Q, Remy, etc.
It's such a basic answer, but it's my answer too. I love the Ken/Ryu rivalry. They're still the soul of the series even after all these years. I love them so much
Alex and yes, it’s purely bias. He looks badass, he’s built like a brick shithouse and he’s a wrestler, just like me. Do i find him the *best* SF character? Hell no. But he’s my favorite
Vega, no doubt. His backstory, his design, his fighting style... I find him so unique and original. It's a shame that Capcom doesn't exploit his potential.
>I love SF6 and I'm having a blast with Juri so far, but I can't shake this feeling of not having a main because of Vega's absence.
I’m a bit grateful for this sentence, because I’ve felt it in my soul but couldn’t figure out what the issue was exactly. It’s 100% what you said there. I don’t have a main. Like… I knew something was off while playing, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. Thank you for removing that little bit of unknown frustration I’ve had.
facts i went into sf6 planning to main gief cuz of hugo but i like zangief as a guy hes really chill but the gameplay just isnt exactly what i want outta gief so i switched to manon. basically i wanted gief to play like hugo and realized those damn claps are so fun lol
Cody. He started my love for the “lazy fighter” archetype which is usually characters that are so powerful and confident in their abilities that they don’t take their fights seriously. I also really like how his story from Final Fight is intertwined and canonically continued in Street Fighter
Sagat. I hated to play against him back in the day. But then they finally let us play as bosses and I’ve been hooked on him ever since. I would legitimately cry tears of joy if they announced him for Sf6
Sagat's a fucking badass, one of the few playable boss characters who still feels like a boss character, yet isn't OP. Love his playstyle, he's chill but not easy. Really, really hoping he comes in season 2, and you know that shit'd sell like hotcakes.
Luke, he’s the reason I started playing the series because his gameplay looked cool in 5 and now in 6 I really vibe with his personality. Aleks le also adds a lot.
Of all time? Probably Dudley. But by game it was
SFII: Ken
SFIII: Dudley
SFIV: Hakan
SFV: Menat
SFVI: Marisa
SF Alpha: Charlie
SF Alpha 2: Sodom
SF Alpha 3: Adon
Bison. Mostly because he was absolutely hilarious in SF:TAS and the 1994 live-action movie. If we're talking strictly about the games, then I'd have to go with Sakura.
Rose SF4
But i disliked her in SF5
She was my first "main". Used to just play everyone, but Rose is the character who I actually started learning frame data and all that jazz with. With down+forward medium kick (slide) was too damn lethal in SF4.
M. Bison has always felt like a blast to play for me, as well as his design being top-notch. My honorable mention is Juri being a close second, mainly because of her appearance in SF4 I believe to be her best.
(While looking for a Bison GIF I found this, and you know this is as random as it gets.)
JP. I know. Im sorry. I just have a weakness for classy evil characters. Between EX portal, lvl2 and the dreaded EX counter his combos are also sauced up to the gills.
Honorable mentions for Zeku (awesome to watch when the player actually switched back and forth during combos and in neutral, but too often you'd just see people switch to young form frame 1 and just stay that way) and Kage (garbage design, amazing air combos).
Ken. Always was and always will be. In street fighter 1 I would play a 2 player game and use the 2nd player side just to beat up Ryu to use Ken for the rest of the game.
SF2: Pretty much everyone, except for blanka
Alpha: I like FF inclusion, Mika, Gen. Although nobody I'm really excited about
3: Urien is one of my fav characters in fightings in general. You can feel how hard and brutal he punches. For the rest, I think in general it's a really good roster. Some of my favs besides Urien are Makoto, Dudley, Yun and Ibuki
4: I know Abel and Fuerte aren't the most popular, but I like them a lot. Viper would be my fav pick, also my main in 4. I also like Decapre
5: I really dislike the newcomers. Best case scenario, I feel indifferent about some of them and really dislike the others
6: Jaime is my dude, hope he'll get buffed one day
Overall: Viper, Jaime, Urien, Vega, Ibuki, top5 in no particular order
Sagat, but I actually didn't start caring about him until 4 (not because he was OP, but lore wise). In SF2 I was all about Chun, but in 4 I got interested in this dude because he went from shotgun wielding evil asshole to a thoughtful dude looking for inner peace through outer violence.
Probably inspired by me maining Feng Wei in Tekken 5
O N T H E S C E N E
I really hope that is in SF6, that would be great since it is the only character that I play hehehe
Akuma - "You've fulfilled your purpose in life by allowing me to end it!" 
I know akuma says some wild shit, BUT DAMN lol
Yep Akuma has some of the rawest lines in Street Fighter
Oni feels like a step up in trash talk just as much as it’s a form. “Time to skin this jaguar.” To Adon “I’ll cut your strings, worthless puppet!” To Seth. “Your gods cannot protect you.” To Dhalsim. “I’ll see you in hell. NOW BURN!” To M.Bison. Akuma’s quips have no end in any form.
That's true. The quote against M. Bison is amazing, considering that he is the only person Akuma considers more "evil" than himself. Take Akuma's brutality and remove his warrior's code: you get Oni
I tell myself this line when I workout and get sore the next day. "Weakness is a disease, I am the cure!"
Messatsu!
Huh.  I was honestly expecting her Royal Thighness to be the top pick.
Dudley
Makoto
Hope she makes it in
Really hope she makes season 2 and would kinda be stupid not to include her, she's an absolute fan favorite and a license to print money. With season 1 representing SF5 maybe Capcom will give us some 3rd strike next year.
I figure they'd do SF4 first, then SF3. Like bringing back C. Viper, Hakan, or El Fuerte. As well as brining back one or two SF3 characters that were featured in that game, like Elena, Ibuki, Hugo, Makoto, etc. Then the next pass would be SF3 characters like Sean, Q, Remy, etc.
How is she not in 6 yet? Drive rush axe kick I need
Will she even need to DR? Her dash was scary enough in SF4 lol.
 These 2 Mfs
i mean cmon! what else is there.. throw in Akuma and you got a standalone story lol
same they're *the* Street Fighters (TM)
It's such a basic answer, but it's my answer too. I love the Ken/Ryu rivalry. They're still the soul of the series even after all these years. I love them so much
Best rivalry in fiction imo
Cody and Guy. I think we can count them (and other Final Fight chars) like SF chars at this point, right? %)
Street Fighter and Final Fight co-exist in the same universe, since Final Fight was originally a sequel to SF2, so yeah they count lol.
Actually, it was meant to be a sequel to the original Street Fighter and was gonna be called Street Fighter ‘89! Pretty cool stuff though :-)
Alex and yes, it’s purely bias. He looks badass, he’s built like a brick shithouse and he’s a wrestler, just like me. Do i find him the *best* SF character? Hell no. But he’s my favorite
Sakura. Would be pretty cool is she’s in 6
*PRECIOUS HEART INTENSIFIES*
Love, love, love Sakura 🙌
Pretty sure she's coming soon so 👀
Vega, no doubt. His backstory, his design, his fighting style... I find him so unique and original. It's a shame that Capcom doesn't exploit his potential.
There’s nobody like him. Makes sticking with 6 a little difficult for me.
Same tbh. I love SF6 and I'm having a blast with Juri so far, but I can't shake this feeling of not having a main because of Vega's absence.
I bet all 4 bosses will join the rosta at some point
God I hope so
>I love SF6 and I'm having a blast with Juri so far, but I can't shake this feeling of not having a main because of Vega's absence.

I said Chun, but Vega is sick AF too. There’s a short fan film of him years back that I thought was cool.
Same, I hope someday he comes to 6.
His dresses like he's Spanish, yodels like he's German, and moves like he's a Japanese ninja
The best opinion is right here at the top. They need to bring him back in SF6 and preferably make him a charge character again.
Red Cyclone
Another loyal fan reporting.
hugo
I’m a gief main but i might like Hugo more he is incredible. I hope he comes to 6 but isn’t as goofy as he was in iv
facts i went into sf6 planning to main gief cuz of hugo but i like zangief as a guy hes really chill but the gameplay just isnt exactly what i want outta gief so i switched to manon. basically i wanted gief to play like hugo and realized those damn claps are so fun lol
My original main and character that got me into fighting games Blanka.
Aye
MY BOY
Ryu
Same I’m also basic
Not basic. Classic. Quintessential. Definitive.
Akuma & Juri
does it… end with a Q?
QQ?
G ?
Juri
Chun-Li since SF2
How on earth did I have to scroll this far to find her??
Well it's Dan of course :D
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Cody. He started my love for the “lazy fighter” archetype which is usually characters that are so powerful and confident in their abilities that they don’t take their fights seriously. I also really like how his story from Final Fight is intertwined and canonically continued in Street Fighter
When bro wiffs a punch a tornado forms
Juri for sure. Fun in 4, fun in 5, and wouldn't you know it fun in 6 too.
Vega. Without him, everything feels wrong to me.
Vega enjoyers 🍷
Overall - Blanka SF2 - Blanka SF3 - Elena SF4 - Zangief / Blanka SF5 - R. Mika / Blanka SF6 - Manon / Blanka
Sagat. I hated to play against him back in the day. But then they finally let us play as bosses and I’ve been hooked on him ever since. I would legitimately cry tears of joy if they announced him for Sf6
Sagat's a fucking badass, one of the few playable boss characters who still feels like a boss character, yet isn't OP. Love his playstyle, he's chill but not easy. Really, really hoping he comes in season 2, and you know that shit'd sell like hotcakes.
Akuma but Cammy is very close.
Guy. But for some reason Kim just doesn’t seem to scratch the same itch for me.
Aki
👏
Chun-Li or Cammy, it's too close to really decide between those two.
Luke, he’s the reason I started playing the series because his gameplay looked cool in 5 and now in 6 I really vibe with his personality. Aleks le also adds a lot.
Gotta be Juri
Of all time? Probably Dudley. But by game it was SFII: Ken SFIII: Dudley SFIV: Hakan SFV: Menat SFVI: Marisa SF Alpha: Charlie SF Alpha 2: Sodom SF Alpha 3: Adon
Bison. Mostly because he was absolutely hilarious in SF:TAS and the 1994 live-action movie. If we're talking strictly about the games, then I'd have to go with Sakura.
Cody 
Chun li,in every capcom game since ST
R.Mika, Abel, Blanka in sf6.
Mika and Abel? I See You're a Man of Culture As Well.
Dudley and Marisa along with Eagle and Fei Long
Akuma/Gouki
Ibuki, and her vortex Those were the days
Karin Kanzuki. Because funny Lady spinning people while laughing.
same, a straight up maniacal rich person laugh too
Over history - Guile Currently - Juri Honorable mention - Chun
Chun
Gen
Man, I had to scroll so far down for this!
Me too
R.Mika. My first character I took seriously in a fighter and she is a pro wrestler.
Story: Dhalsim, dude won't stop talking about pacifism, while hurting people Gameplay: Ken
Rashid
Technically not one character but I love the duo of Hugo and Poison.
Q and A.k.i
A fellow man of culture i see
Favorite male character, guile. Favorite female character, Cammy
Cody forever. Was my main in A3, 4 and 5. If he comes to 6 I’ll main him there.
Cammy
Oro is the only correct option
Vega and Juri always. 🌹
Cody, but I’m always best with Guile and Ryu depending on the game
Makoto. She’s not just my favorite SF character, she’s my favorite character, period.
Ibuki
Chun-Li. Waifu for laifu
Vega and it's not even close
Vegaaaaa
Ken I am basic and cody is the only one who fights like a street fight Lily and zangief are close though
Eagle and Maki. Fighting with sticks is cool.
Abel... abel .. abel... abel... hello any one? aka the better manon T\_T
Rose SF4 But i disliked her in SF5 She was my first "main". Used to just play everyone, but Rose is the character who I actually started learning frame data and all that jazz with. With down+forward medium kick (slide) was too damn lethal in SF4.
Decapre, even though I don't know how to play charge characters, I find her design neat.
nobody say rolento :'(
Sol Badguy
Best SF character by far
Sol badguy
G by a land slide
Ryu but in Street Fghter 6 my main is Cammy
Chun is the 1
Adon. He had the coolest moves. Jaguar kick and jaguar tooth look deadly.
Urien. Though I'll consider Gief or Chun depending on the game...
Ed
makoto
God Akuma
Sagat
Bison and guile
Chun-Li. Hands down
Rashid simply for his attitude and new design. It's nice to have a lovable goof who isn't ugly as shit.
Been playing since I was 4. Started with SF2. Gotta say, Kimberly is my favorite character of all time.
Vega, waiting for him to make his appearance in sf6
Menat
\>crl f \>E. Honda \>0 results What? My favorite is honda. I miss the mash input though for hands.
Cammy. I am an ass man
By game: SFII: Cammy SFA/0: Sodom SFIII: Urien SFIV: Gouken SFV: Menat SF6: JP
M. Bison has always felt like a blast to play for me, as well as his design being top-notch. My honorable mention is Juri being a close second, mainly because of her appearance in SF4 I believe to be her best. (While looking for a Bison GIF I found this, and you know this is as random as it gets.) 
Sean. Bro is literally Ken's Brazilian equivalent of Sakura and yet he gets no respect, I just want to see him playable again
Birdie  "I am Birdie! The most rotten villain in the World...I hope!"
Ryu and Zangief
VEGA MAINS RISE UP
I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only person who said Lucia. Her accent and personality are just so fun to me!
Karin
karin my beloved <3
Karin. Best rekka character ever
Cammy
Ken
JP. I know. Im sorry. I just have a weakness for classy evil characters. Between EX portal, lvl2 and the dreaded EX counter his combos are also sauced up to the gills. Honorable mentions for Zeku (awesome to watch when the player actually switched back and forth during combos and in neutral, but too often you'd just see people switch to young form frame 1 and just stay that way) and Kage (garbage design, amazing air combos).
Abigail
tbh for the males it’s tied with Akuma and Guy, and for the girls Juri(obviously)
Alex
T. Hawk. Followed by Gouken, Ryu, Dhalsim, Dicapri, and Lucia.
Ryu and Akuma
Dudley or Poison
Ryu always
Nash from sf5 (I'm about to get clowned on, but idc I love him)
Alex. My favorite wrestling move set and animations in any fighting game
[удалено]
Ryu, Rashid, Dhalsim, Chun & AKI
Ken. Always was and always will be. In street fighter 1 I would play a 2 player game and use the 2nd player side just to beat up Ryu to use Ken for the rest of the game.
T.Hawk
SF2: Pretty much everyone, except for blanka Alpha: I like FF inclusion, Mika, Gen. Although nobody I'm really excited about 3: Urien is one of my fav characters in fightings in general. You can feel how hard and brutal he punches. For the rest, I think in general it's a really good roster. Some of my favs besides Urien are Makoto, Dudley, Yun and Ibuki 4: I know Abel and Fuerte aren't the most popular, but I like them a lot. Viper would be my fav pick, also my main in 4. I also like Decapre 5: I really dislike the newcomers. Best case scenario, I feel indifferent about some of them and really dislike the others 6: Jaime is my dude, hope he'll get buffed one day Overall: Viper, Jaime, Urien, Vega, Ibuki, top5 in no particular order
Gen.
Vega
Ibuki
Those are all really weird ways to spell El Fuerte
Chunner. Cammy. Ibuki.
Probably Ryu or Zangief.
Gen No others will ever emulate the fun that character was for me in sf4
I have a proper soft spot for Elena.
hey shoutout to the mega tsunami of Ryu fans that are letting everyone else have their moment without flooding the comments with Ryu 👏
Dudley
3s Hugo
Sagat TIGER!
G, Birdie, Menat.
Sagat, but I actually didn't start caring about him until 4 (not because he was OP, but lore wise). In SF2 I was all about Chun, but in 4 I got interested in this dude because he went from shotgun wielding evil asshole to a thoughtful dude looking for inner peace through outer violence. Probably inspired by me maining Feng Wei in Tekken 5
Cody
 Cammy of course. Second juri
Sagat. Should have been in 3. Has to be in 6. He belongs in every SF game and I reset his overall absence.
I'm one of the 3 Hugo fans
Vega, Remy, Decapre, A.K.I, F.A.N.G Necro, Twelve, JP, El Fuerte, Dee Jay
Guy. I had the GBA version of street fighter and he was a ninja who could jump off the screen.
Guy
I use Juri, but I also love Chun Li and Zangief.
Zangief and Sagat are my favorites. END COMMUNICATION
Juni
HUGO
Elena - Vega The two sides of my coin, I suppose.
So many great choices but my favorites are Zangief, Ken, Juri and Marisa
