If spoilers are to be believed, then the hot-headed Ken Masters will also be making his grand return, ( if looking a little worse for wear in his new “Berry Togard” getup). Fighting game heroes simply become too synonymous with their brands, and it is a rare situation indeed to see these poster boys and girls permanently removed, even through death.Ĭapcom is clearly aware of this, and as such we also saw Ryu and Chun Li appear in SF 6‘s first gameplay trailer. However, in all of the above examples, the fanbase got a little antsy and, ultimately all of the original characters were eventually restored in updates, test sessions, semi-sequels, or home releases. And, lest we forget, Street Fighter itself almost took the shocking step of removing Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter III, replacing them with a new hero, ghetto grappler Alex. The King of Fighters ’99 introduced bold new stars K’, Maxima, Vanessa, Kula, and many others in lieu of long-time heroes Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. Mortal Kombat 3 made the bold step of unmasking Sub-Zero and removing Scorpion entirely. This is not the first time a famous fight franchise has shook up its protag priorities. With Ryu, (and we assume, Ken), transitioning to the “old guard,” Luke and Jamie will be aiming to step into the spotlight as SF 6‘s lead characters. In regards to lore, Capcom has also confirmed that Street Fighter 6 is set after Street Fighter III, and thus represents the most recent chronological entry in the lore of the World Warriors.īut what of the two officially announced newcomers, Luke Sullivan and Jamie… Something? What part will they have to play in the new game? Well, according to Capcom Luke and Jamie are long-time fighting rivals - sometimes buddies who frequently find themselves pushing each other to become ever better in their respective mastery of the martial arts. We’ve already seen - and I should add officially seen - footage on several new and familiar faces in action, and even gotten a sneak peek at the new fight intros and interactive Vs screens. Since last week’s gameplay reveal for Street Fighter 6, spotlit as a part of Sony’s State of Play showcase, publisher Capcom has been drip-feeding new clips and info regarding the flashy-looking fighting sequel.
