This post made me want try dig a bit in teh internet
Did bit of "research" for the lulz, If they want to add some surnames canonizing existing stuff like they did in the past, here’s some potential material they could use


 
RYU

The silly 90’s movie gave us Ryu Hoshi, while Street Fighter Legacy (same people of SF Assassin’s Fist) made up Ryu Takashi… from what i understand reading online not only was named like that after his creator Takashi Nishiyama but there’s also some gimmick going on (i copy-paste from teh internet):

the symbol for the first Chinese character used to spell Nishiyama's name "Takashi(隆志)" can also be pronounced "Ryu(隆)"

Personally would like Ryu Takashi more, sounds badass lol

There’s even a third possible name:

“In the Japanese version of the Capcom arcade quiz game Quiz and Dragons, Ryu's full name is given as Ryu Takegami (武神 隆 Takegami Ryū?), though this has never been referenced in any other media and it is unlikely Capcom considers this his full name officially.”
But tbh should be used as very obscure info about something rarely used (like on situations that require documents), as being an orphan with unknown biological father would refer himself just as “Ryu”


 
CHUN LI

Personally would be perfectly ok with them giving her the 90s movie Chun Li Zhang tbh, super common surname that does’nt disturb much


 
ZANGIEF

Would be fun if they dig back till char prototype phase when he was named “Vodka Gobalsky” lol

Guess not Zangief Gobalsky as i think Zangief is supposed to be a surname i think (being wrestler Victor Zangiev the name inspiration), unless they want consider it his first name

Would like if they somehow use Gobalsky as link to Goda from HnK (did’nt remembered was named like that, just found it while doing bit search) the char that inspired his look/bear theme


 
VEGA (Claw)

We got Vega Fabio La Cerda from SF2V anime, to some extent would even solve the JAP/USA name problem of four kings a bit, as they used it the same in japanese version, essentially Balrog Fabio La Cerda

Only problem i would have with it is that "Vega" in spanish would work as surname, sure not as first name… in fact castilian spanish version changed the name into Fabio Antonio de la Vega… beside changing shit a lot, i like they moved “Vega” last

No idea why they dropped Antonio there totally made up, have more idea why they removed La Cerda: apparently La Cerda was(is?) a real life existing aristocratic spanish family

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_la_Cerda

and the according to wiki ( i don’t remember it) the anime even state that Vega, bloodlusted psychopathic murderer, belong to that family lol

End up find a solution for it may be harder than expected… maybe they could just go for something like Fabio de la Vega? (even if “Fabio” sounds so italian to me lol but still)

But would be too short as spaniards have two surnames (and often two names)… so if we want ignore problems related to “La Cerda” in Spain, possible best could be Fabio La Cerda Vega


 
BALROG (Boxer)

M.Bison as Mike Bison would be perfect, even more if was same Mike of SF1

But SFV destroyed all that confirming Mike as his own character beyond any doubt lol

Tbh would love if was possible just ignore SF1’s Mike, and go for Mike Balrog, but again SFV hate it lol

No idea lol

 
SAGAT

The 90s movie gave us Victor Sagat, but tbh would hate if get canonized lol
Guess they could use manga character and real life thai fighters he was inspired on, but we never got anything

 
BLANKA

Only legit point to start is we know Jimmy is his true name and Blanka a nickname , surname is only piece missing

Maybe they can recycle “Carlos” as second name from 90s movie, like Jimmy Carlos + surname(s)


 

 

Anyone been paying attention to these?
 
 

nah the main character is here
 
 
 

Outside of making the bad guys preorder and DLC as it already mentioned, it also
 
 

Two of DLC characters from the first Kombat Pack are featured prominently in the Story mode. That's not including pre-order bonus Shang Tsung who that applies to as well. It would be like if World Tour Mode had Rashid, A.K.I., and Ed prominently featured in SF6.

@CESTUS IIII was joking man. That's why used the "wink". I know some American's think they know better than native speakers of a language. I'm just not one of them. My Vincenzo concept only turned out as well as it did because of your input 👍🏾
 
Side Note: Plus this just gave me an excuse to post an image of a Ferrari Testarossa. I loved that car's design as a kid. That and the Lamborghini Countach were my favorite exotics growing up.

Changing the subject (because holy crap, guys...), since there's a drought of Q & G content, I decided to get a commission of the very talented Otacat of my favourite Cryptid who fights in the Streets:

New items at the Battle Hub store seems to confirm that Marisa’s full name is Marisa Rossetti. The name appears with a logo of a centurion helmet. Looking it up, Rossetti is derived from the Italian word Rosso which means red. Rossetti itself has been used as a nickname to refer to someone with red hair.
 
This makes JP and A.K.I. to be the only new characters in SF6 without a stated last name.
 
 

Just the fact that A.K.I. is all about being happy to do whatever her "master" says and idolizing F.A.N.G, while Juri couldn't be forced to take orders from someone else if it didn't align with her interests, let alone idolize, should tell a lot about how Juri and A.K.I. are pretty different characters outside of surface similarities.
 
The only thing they have in common is that they're Asian and evil ladies. Maybe the color palettes are pretty close, because they both have purple in their themes, but then again that's just a poison-coded color, and I don't think A.K.I. would have looked very good had they gone for the other poison-coded color which is green. There's already one green motherfucker who slides on the ground too much in this game.
 
Like, if Kolin had been Asian, would she have been considered Juri-adjacent as well?
