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.

WOOO New Fighting pass is out, and it's cool af, theme Final Fight!
 
RIP to Sodom and Haggar?
But that's their classic design, SF6 would have them heavy redesigned... but still
 
 

Yeah Agito is another that would translate very well into a SF concept... specially if capcom could make a char with double personality a la dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde that have two stances wich show two radical different personality
We had Necalli and now Jamie that had something that make them go more "wild" but both seem just an extremization of their normal attitude, while Agito switch from the two opposites, 100% cold technical to 100% wild formless 
 
Another i criminally forgot to add is Hatsumi the floating cloud. 
Damn, he's one that could have been traslated 1:1 and would be an awesome SF char alredy... 
The whole bored/shabby attitude mixed with his immense aikido skills is something i would love to see, even the fact canon wise he's unreliable as depending on mood he may lose with middle tiers then give Agito an hard af fight is very unique  
 
Plus in some way dude remind me one of my fav HnK char Juza, wich likely is'nt even random vibes as Kengan author imho gave Hatsumi the cloud nickname also as wink to Juza. 
To some extent i think as parallel Hatsumi vs Agito was a much less dramatic version on Juza vs Raoh
 
 

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.

Yeah, i think to remember the Sawada thing was discussed already at SF6 launch, it's definitely likely it played a role... plus we know SF is familiar with Kengan, the manga even made one special with the protagonist dreaming about fight Ryu 
 
Plus we seen Marisa have many many winks at Baki's Hanayama, so we know SF6 is'nt afraid of go take lot from mangas when developing characters
 
If you could get a SF6 char heavy inspired from Kengan what would be?
 
Saw Paing would be my first pick, Leithwei still missing from SF, but real reason is i love the heavy Joe Higashi (my fav SNK char) vibes they put on the char. 
Plus a fast light/medium striker that try to land atomic headbutts would be fun 
 
Another is Cosmo, the idea of a male small genius submission grappler wearing full grappling gear that rely 100% on technique to win fights in a field where usually we imagine big slow characters would be another cool thing. 
I know Laura's bjj and Manon's judo broke a bit the trend, but would still be something new, specially if they focus on ground grappling (wifh should have been more a thing in Laura's moveset btw) 
Another cool thing is that could be of any nationality, as just like MMA submission grappling is modern and take influences from many places
 
 
Last Naidan, just so cool approach at mongolian wrestler archetype, and mongolian char is something i truly feel missing from SF

Yup I'm extremely psyched for Ed. Even getting a stick for when he drops since he'll be my main.

Is it just me...or are those tikis on Dee Jay's stage Bison, Sagat and Adon? Top left, middle left and middle right and bottom right in the sand (in order)
 

@Darc_Requiem
Found something that may hint new feature of future WTM expansion and explain why hair options sucks so much lol
 
In Beat Square, main place of MC and where we have Body Editor and first/main clothes store, just between them there's an hair cuts salon (atm not possible to interact with)
 
The interesting part is the placement imho, because it's essentially between the two current editor/avatar places of the square

 
Guess we will end up pay for cooler, unique haircuts just like we pay clothes in beat square
Or maybe you pay haircut just once and it get added on editor
 
Only "normal" npc haircut i can think as currently missing from creation mode is sumo guys in Urban Park area (those at Honda's place with "chonmage" haircut)
Wonder if we will get more unique NPC haircuts too, in that case list would include
 
Carlos
DamnD
Rudra
Eternity
Fang (+ unique beard too)
Azam (+ unique beard too)
 
I'm intentionally leaving out Bosch, because imho does'nt feel made with editor tool and base, and may have different destiny as main cast stuff
 
Btw would be fun get also haircuts of main cast lol... actually even better would be get ones of former main cast that will NOT return
 
Curiously no female NPC so far seems to have unique haircut... possibly Alice have slighty modified version of an existing one, but the few others have normal editor ones
Now that i think about it also the strong sumo lady may have unique hair, but not sure if is same chonmage i mentioned for some Honda's dudes
 
PS:  just discovered even Bosch have full name: Bosch Waraya
Waraya apparently in real world it's very rare surname, but clean majority of these few is in Indonesia
That's a second hint of Bosch being inspired name wise to Indonesia... i know it's surely first a wink to BoF char and SF6 Bosch is from Nayshall, but "Bosch" beig dutch name in s-e asia link to Indonesia too
So somehow both name and surname may make sense in Indonesia
Just make Bosch Pencak Silat rep damn it LOL
 
PPS: in front that hair salon we get  also this red gi karateka guy with stand full of wood barrels, guess in future there we may get variant of
