gaming Which fighters would you like to be added to Street Fighter V

[BrawnyCharger 513]

I am currently playing Street Fighter V for the PS4 and I have to say that I like a lot of things about it. That doesn't mean I don't wish for anything more from the game though. 

Here I would like to specifically talk about the Street Fighters from previous games. Granted, that it's got a lot of the main fighters such as:

• Ryu, Ken, Birdie, and Sagat from SF1.
• E. Honda, Blanka, Guile, Chun Li, Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, M. Bison, Cammy, and Akuma from SF2.
• Charlie, R. Mika, Karin, Sakura, and Cody from SFAlpha.
• Alex, Ibuki, and Urien from SF3. 
• Juri and Poison from SF4.

As well as all the new fighters debuting in SF5. So it's safe to say it's a pretty well packed game up to 38 fighters. 

However the SF game with the most fighters total was Ultra Street Fighter IV with 44. 

I'd like to believe that Street Fighter V would surpass that. If Capcom chooses to do that, There's still a chance to bring back fighters like:

• Retsu,
• Geki,
• Lee,
• Gen,
• Eagle,
• Joe,
• Mike,
• Adon
• T. Hawk
• Fei Long
• Dee Jay
• Guy
• Rose
• Dan
• Sodom
• Rolento
• Dudley
• Yun and Yang
• Necro
• Sean
• Oro
• Elena
• Gill
• Hugo
• Remy
• Q
• Makoto
• Twelve
• C. Viper
• Abel
• El Fuerte
• Rufus
• Gouken
• Seth
• Hakan
• Oni
• Decapre

It's also likely that they would also continue adding characters from Final Fight as playable Street Fighters as we have seen.

Which of these listed would you like to see, which would be most likely, and which would be least likely to join the playable roster for SFV?

I would prefer they didn’t add characters who have already made an appearance in SFIV. Characters like Oro for example. I am not going to lie though, I would like to see Makoto get in although she was already in IV.

Personally, I'd like to see the 3 remaining SSFII fighters return, as well as a first playable appearance in a 3D Street Fighter game for Sodom, though he does appear in the background in the Ring of Justice. I'd also like to see Dudley return.

With several Final Fight characters making their appearance in the series, it's time to bring back Maki and Sodom, and finally throw Haggar into the mix

Oh, and since SNK is everywhere nowadays, maybe they can throw in Kyo from KoF into it

Good choices. Who knows, maybe Carlos, Dean, or Kyle might also show up.

I honestly didn’t think he would make the roster. He looks pretty cool and that stage is awesome as well.

This is definitely going to be his first appearance in 3D. And with the Champion Edition, further down the line, I imagine even more fighters will join in and the fighter count will exceed USFIV's 44.

They announced Seth at this year's Capcom Pro Tour as the next fighter to SFV.

It’s pretty cool that they have Bison, Gill, and Seth all in the same game.

I know. I guess they've decided to add in all the SF Main Bosses from previous games. Sagat, Bison, Akuma, Urien, Gill, and Seth. 

There's still plenty of story opportunities for various other fighters too. I'd like to see Guy return to interact with Zeku. Rose could come back and interact with Menat. Dan Hibiki can still provide comic relief and join his friends Sakura and Blanka. T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and Fei Long bridge the gap and complete the SSFII roster. Dudley can continue feuding with Balrog. Makoto can establish her new dojo. Adon can continue his feud with Sagat. And many others.

This summer they are going to announce season 5 for SFV with 5 new characters. My hopes for who they will be are T. Hawk, Fei Long, Dee Jay, Makoto and Dan Hibiki. I'll throw in Sodom and Dudley as wild cards.
