But does JP look as good as Falke in a tight latex outfit? 🤔
 

Gonna be honest, if we're getting less characters cause of World Tour, I'd rather not have the mode...

Random scrub stuff
 
+Bosch with the complete costume is very good, hope become an official char with Pencak SIlat going on
+JP alt costume is awesome
+Carlos seems to have his own style, the sword dance is same as FF2 but also idle pose. Would like a mode where we can use these NPCs as "special characters" kinda like SC3
+I can use created charactersfor fights in the hub, it's already something, but still need mode to use them in normal stages, not that hub crap
+Most of alt costumes looks good
+I liked face damage but blood on clothes looks like crap, very glad i can toggle it off completely
+That Rudra guy looks bizzarre but could work within SF, curious to see what fight style they invented for him
+Character Creation is going to be my drug
+We seen bunch of moves for the first time
+demo yay
 
-VERY VERY bullshit we will have just these 4 chars till spring 2024 (but glad Akuma is last lol)
- holy fuck they never fixed Ryu alt costume pants, is the one i will use most and shit looks horrible
- as i guessed, you can't mix normals on your created character
- Don't like Akuma have full white hair, leaked concept version was better
-Character Creation is going to be my drug

Vtrigger > drive system. 
And it's not even close smh. 

Disagree.
If is a none issue, having a smaller roster would mean that it will be detrimental.
Remember, those games are made for more people than us, the competitive/competitive adjacent crowd.
 
Having a big roster is very likely preferable since it attracts more crowd since you have a wider net to attract a playerbase, that in turn can mean more long time players if a good chunk of them transition into a more than just a casual, and even lead to the growth of the community.
 
If is not broken then no need to fix it.
 
The only valid reason for a smaller cast is development costs.
Because outside of that, balancing is sorted out by the players always flocking to a smaller subset.
Even on games with a small cast.
And a small cast doesn't mean we will have a balanced game, since we have great examples of that not being the case, like the whole SF3 series.
 
At the end of the day there are way more pros than cons to having a sizable roster.
Hence why outside new series, stablished Ips go for the biggest amount that the budget allows and leave the rest outside for revisions/dlc's

How does this prove your point? SF6 is coming out with massive amounts of content, that is clearly where a lot of the time and development went.
 
While SF6 characters are certainly very polished, that’s not an excuse to release less than 6 characters from next year tbh. No other triple A fighter will be doing this.
