    Last Naidan, just so cool approach at mongolian wrestler archetype, and mongolian char is something i truly feel missing from SF

    Naidan was one of my absolute favs in the manga so I agree with that big time.

     

    Might also be cool to get someone like one of the Wu or Kure characters and have them utilize SnH like Guihun...while also putting Evil Ryu to rest forever by having that character take inspiration from him and adopt some of his moves.

     

    Having someone like Agito would also be cool as a stance character to replace Gen by having 2 primary styles.

    Hey! since it's been quiet I thought I'd throw out this tidbit about what I think might be a design element for AKI

     

    We know that Street Fighter often takes inspiration from fight manga and the best fight manga I've read in a LONG while has a character with some definite stylistic similarities to AKI

     

    https://kenganverse.fandom.com/wiki/Sawada_Keizaburo

     

    Sawada is an effeminate fighter in the Kengan series and I think some design elements were inspirational to SF

    I mean...come on, right?? SUPER similar.

     

    On top of Sawada's general look, his fighting style might have been inspiration for another character since it is STRONGLY inspired by ballet

     

    In fact, check out his build and stance

    I don't think it's an exaggeration to say there seems to be a lot that might have influenced Manon as well. In fact, visually there's resemblance between Manon's bangs and her...uh...I am not sure what to call her hair tassels that hang down but obviously it is VERY similar to the look for Sawada. In fact, it is like they took Sawada's hair and split it into two hairstyles...one for Manon and one for AKI.

    (the aforementioned bangs and hair tassel...things)

     

    So yeah. What do you guys think?

     

    On another note, since you guys all like SF, if you like fight manga in general AT ALL I highly recommend Kengan Ashura/Omega. EXCELLENT series with amazing art.

    One more advice i can offer is don't be afraid to make the char look "deformed" without clothes on, multi-layered kind of editors have huge problem with very lean chars

     

    Yup I specifically made K' in the game to have proportions more appropriate to SF6's art style. So he looks just a bit lanky in game but is still beefier than he is depicted in KOFs usual art style.
