They added Guile to the
game website:
Yes, he also has many cool things with normals or past specials. He also seems to have a low target combo. I think Guile is a must who should be in all SF games.
He's an evergreen character along with Ryu, Chun-Li and Ken. Just a staple who should always stick around.
Regarding Remy: it's weird that SFV lacked so many characters and that there is no SF3 characters in SF6 at laucn. I think it's also suspicious that being set in Metro City (at least this first season/chapter of the game) there's nobody from Final Fight (or characters from FF that were included in Street Fighter Alpha, 4 or 5). Plus there is nobody from Shadaloo/Illuminatti/NeoShadaloo other than Ed (probably to link the storyline with 5 regarding bad guys) and probably JP.
Makes me also think if it takes place after SF3, it's a decent few years afterwards which could explain why some chars are missing. Because TBH, some like Dudley had basic AF story reasons in SFIII (tho I definitely want them back in 6), and others like Necro and Twelve are highly tied to Gill and the Illuminati. Remove those and characters like them (particularly Twelve) don't have a reason to stick around anymore.
Also I'd of preferred Falke to come back over Ed if we could only get one of them; I always thought they could've done more with her style. Ed felt scattershot and Luke seems like what Ed should've been from the beginning, at least IMO. But I'm still interested to see what they do with Ed's style in 6.
I think it's because they plan to make big themed DLC seasons or updates:
- Season 1: Final Fight season (returning chars from SFA/3/4/5+ someone new related lore wise like Damnd, Maki and Haggar)
- Season 2: Super SF6 season (with returning fan favorite good guys from SF1/2/Alpha/4/5 and someone new related lore wise)
- Season 3: Bad guys season (rise of Neo Shadaloo, return of Neo Shadaloo and Iluminatti chars to face Neoshadaloo, new neo Shadaloo chars)
- Season 4: SF3 season (returning SF3 chars + someone new related lore wise to SF3)
- Season 5: Ultra SF6 season (with returning fan favorites from SF1/2/Alpha/4/5 + someone new related lore wise)
"Super" SF6 and "Ultra" SF6 would be bundles of original game + previous DLC as they did with SFV, all three SF6 "games" would really be the same and would share the same online as happened with SFV.
If the new Seasons bring big cohesive story advancements (kind of like sagas in a shounen anime, though they don't have to bring in new main villains each time. Could be closer to arcs) then I'd be down for that. I always wanted SFV to do more story content, like actual story content, with the other seasons but after the Cinematic Story Mode Season 1 they didn't do much afterwards.
Of course tying that into the World Tour mode will also be needed, like updating the environment for the World Tour mode depending on the story thread for the season and whatnot. There's a lot of ways they can work with this and make it land.
I think they considered Summer Doritos Fest was going to reach a more casual audience who problably wouldn't give a fuck about Kimberly but may know Guile and his SF2 stage. So they thought it would make sense to show him here. Probably they have Kimberly reveal planned for Capcom's event of this Monday.
Yeah, most likely. Tho again I won't be surprised if they stick to focusing on returning classics or returning SFV chars for the time being, and save gameplay trailers for new chars closer to the launch phase.
Tomorrow morning they have a SF6 press event in USA so maybe Monday they reveal someone or something else other than Kimberly. I think it would be a good opportunity to show better the single player World Tour story mode and the avatar customization.
Then maybe at EVO they can reveal two characters more, and show that the Fighting Ground section features -according to the game's website- all the SFV game modes and that the Hub features the CFN stuff (replays, tournaments, stats and a place to talk with other players and play retro games).
Play retro stuff like have a lobby while waiting on matches where you can play some classic beat 'em ups or the such? That would be pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of the loading game stuff Namco did for Ridge Racer way way back, just in this case for games in the online lobby while you wait.
Much preferred to annoying advertisements like certain patents and rumors (not related to this game, but with certain console platform holder(s)) were talking about
