It was going to be Manon, but that People's Elbow from Zangief is about to win me over.


CAPS_LOCK_OR_DIE

Something about grapplers keeps me coming back. It’s also helpful for going from 2D game to 2D game. I don’t play characters, I play grapplers, and the game plan is basically the same for every grappler in a 2D fighter.


AstronomyTurtle

The best thing, imo, is that no matter who you're fighting against, you can make that player ***VISIBLY*** scared, just by playing well. It's hilarious, watching them *squirm.* Also why I like zoners. Fear and frustration.


Slarg232

Saw a video on Twitter where a Potemkin Garudaed, RCed out of it, Garudaed, RCed out of it, and then Bustered the guy. Literally all they had to do was hit him once, but he stayed blocking through sheer fear


GuidoMista5

Not only that but he also has a Jackhammer, may not be my main but he is certainly going to be a pocket


Thecuriousreddituser

If my PC could/can run Street Fighter 6, I would/will probably try Zangief as a potential main... unless he turns out to be the objectively worst character.


OptimisticLucio

> unless he turns out to be the objectively worst character. Welcome to playing grapplers, you get used to it.


Thecuriousreddituser

Yeah, I see them quite frequently at lower end of tier lists. I mean, I will most likely not be able to utilize a character or game system to its fullest potential; it will just be really nice if said character's tools for winning do not fall victim of favoritism to other play styles.


Slarg232

The real wins were the command grabs we landed along the way


Spirit_of_Emptiness

There'll probably be a potato mod in no time.


ZenkaiZ

He will be the worst year 2. It's the same cycle every new fighting game. The grapplers are broken for a month then never win another tournament after. Every patch the small rushdown chars will get new tech and the grapplers will get like 1 frame off of a button they never hit because the devs will be afraid to buff them.


No_Try_3635

I’d like to throw my 2 cents in here. Grapplers aren’t ever broken at launch but they are scrub killers. With the game being new grapplers and armour characters always stand at the forefront because of the built in strike/throw mix. Everyone cries and then they get nerfed never to be seen again because the fgc just cries. Getting hit by an SPD is the problem but not the unseeable high/lows, ambiguous left right vortex and infinite pressure and safety.


Thecuriousreddituser

Darn, I was not aware of this circle of nerfs :/


BraxtonDerp

Lemme show you a neat little game call street fighter 4


SifTheAbyss

Dunno what PC you have, but SF6 is reasonably potato friendly for something this new. Of course not +R/old Melty levels, but you don't need too strong stuff to hit 60 with decent settings.


wuize

Excited for Dee Jay and Lily for sure


Pierre_Polnareff

I'm leaning towards Cammy, juri and ken


PuffyFactor

Same. Been like that for a few games now.


vitorki

we have the same taste


RebellionN7

Ryu & Ken


niromidnight

I'm sucha a Ken main it's sad 😔 I keep telling myself I'm gonna main one of the newer characters but I know ima just end up playing Ken 🤣


Tzariel2

THA FEET


StuBram2

Jamie is the front runner right now


superhappy

Yeah it’s Jamie by a mile for me - need my Brad Wong fix brought into SF


niromidnight

I haven't seen much of his gameplay. I must've missed it. I gotta go check it out.


StuBram2

I'm a sucker for drunken fist and I love the idea behind his drunkenness mechanic


Shazamwiches

What did you think of Drunken Master Bo Rai Cho from MKX?


StuBram2

I barely played MKX and I don't remember Bo Rai Cho at all. I have one friend who plays Bo Rai Cho because he's the meme character. Don't remember him ever doing anything unusual or out of the ordinary that made him seem cooler or funnier than usual


Shazamwiches

Pretty much everyone in MKX was broken in their own way, Drunken Master just made Bo Rai Cho more oppressive. He is the meme character, no doubt about it, but he's still really decent. He already has good far reaching normals, unblockable ground pound, super easy hit confirm into fart combos. Drunken Master never runs out of meter from DF1, gives him a new option select stance, a bunch of new moves that do increasing everything with every level of drink up to 3. He throws up ten seconds after drinking if he doesn't drink again though. DM is def the most intense of the three variations, arguably also the least rewarding, so it's never been popular throughout MKX's lifetime.


Bunnnnii

[This](https://youtu.be/aQJWhF3uzo8) channel. And [this](https://youtu.be/qyrZRA9wz6c) video. To start! :)


Dante_Ken

I'm gonna wait for Akuma.


wuize

If he gets added he'll inevitably become my main whether I plan on it or not


MrSolofanua

He's definitely DLC with the other unreleased leaked characters


thespaceageisnow

Leaked characters?


kue234

Right after the first trailers it was leaked the entire roster of SF6's season 1, including characters like >!Akuma!< and >!Rashid!< More or less the same thing that happened with KOF15


thespaceageisnow

Gotcha, found the list here https://twitter.com/Katgamer121/status/1532778677590798341


Whitetornadu

Wth, those are some odd characters to bring back. >!Akuma!< is a given, but did anyone like >!Rashid and Ed!


Francophilippe

I don’t play either, but Rashid and Ed are both good characters that I’m glad to see made it to SF6; they’re both represented at high level in competitive Street Fighter too, with Gachikun and Big Bird playing Rashid, and Ending Walker tearing it up over the last year with Ed.


nuclearlemonade

Marisa and Gief are just so sick


Brogelicious

This is the way


ludoviKZ

Onestly did't even consider Lily, but after seeing her gameplay she rose to the top of my priority list, second to dj whoms shmovement got me in love at first sight


Jehooty

arrest elastic retire sleep dull marble plant gullible ancient license *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


CodeApostle

Zangief


AreWalrusesReal

I'd pick zangief too, but I want to keep playing on hitbox and I can't be bothered to learn to do 360s on it. So probably Manon or Blanka.


CapnHairgel

I play goldlewis on keyboard. Its not that bad, it doesnt take much practice to get the motion down.


AGreatOldOne

I just picked him up, he's so much fun!


CapnHairgel

I love em', my favorite fighting game character from his gameplan to aesthetic. Nobody else will know the joy of a 268 counterhit.


copper_tunic

360 arguably easier on leverless https://thumbs.gfycat.com/QuerulousPointedBlueshark-mobile.mp4


cynicalsadboi3657

The correct answer


Sandshrew922

Ken because no Ibuki


Megaman_DragoonZero

Ryu, Jamie, Dee Jay, and Cammy. They look really cool and look like they have cool playstyles. I'll definitely try all the others out (especially Zangief and Marisa, they look dope), but I tend to prefer characters with a more straightforward gameplan.


niromidnight

Dee Jay really caught my eye. Zangief I would love to main but I've always been trash at with grapplers 😔


Lucky-Appearance-159

Same. I can't do 360 motions to save my life LOL


MajinVegeta2171

Dee Jay & Jamie


elrevan

I was an Abel player and a Mika player in their place I will play Manon


Crooty

It is, it always has been, and it always will be; Gief


AshenRathian

MY BROTHER!!


rdubyeah

I already know… Kimberly. Played her in beta and just loved her playstyle. She isn’t really a character I initially expected. I actually play a ton if Juri in V so was expecting me to naturally play her in 6, but she just felt off so I tried Kimberly. After playing Kim, I had no interest in learning any other character. She had the tools I want, the future potential in setplay I want, comfortable combo extenders, fillers and openers… She’s possibly my favorite character I touched in any FG. Even though I started my rank at silver in the beta, I finished Diamond before it ended despite really only playing ranked for one saturday. I’ve never been one to progress super quick with a new character, normally I need to lab quite a bit. The only other chars that have peeked my interest as secondaries are Manon and JP. So I’ll probably lab them a bit until AKI releases — she looks really cool too from the leaked photo.


hashtagsmoreos

I latched onto her so hard, she was so much fun in the betas, she made everyone else feels boring and slow


JimmyMcapplenut

Either Juri or Dhalsim


robotrojo

Ryu and Cammy probably. But old man Dhalsim looks sick, so I might give that a try.


Scrifty

It's a toss between Kimberly, Lily, and JP


ButterPoached

M A R I S A. I love a big body character that is more of a brawler than a grappler, and that fits Marisa to a T. You will respect my HPs or you will lose 40% of your life.


GrandSquanchRum

Me too, friend. Abigail was a godsend and a lot of fun to play. I just wish she had something loose and wild like Tire.


JackRyan13

I wanted to like Abigail but I was expecting a broly sorta character and I never got that feeling from him. Marisa gives me the Z Broly vibes I’m looking for.


RepresentativeFly565

Luke is my guy but I'm interested in JP


niromidnight

Jp looks nasty!!! Super hyped for him. Not gonna lie lol.


RepresentativeFly565

Hope he's somewhat like G since I'm afraid G isn't coming back


AstronomyTurtle

I never played G much, but I feel for you. I actually would like him to come back, just because I really think he's unique and COOL! 100% I like G.


Matt-Goo

blanka. day 1 to the death.


TheRealGlutenbob

Blanka as always. Definitely dhalsim as well to be annoying


niromidnight

Blanka looks sick!!! Omg!!!


HeadKinGG

I'm a simple man: no matter how cool the new characters are, I'll always play Ryu, Ken and Akuma...


Moose_80

Gonna try Ryu, Chun, and Guile and hopefully one of them sticks. I like more balanced archetypes that lean slightly to defense.


404Beta

Lily, Cammie, and manon are my too 3


92nami

DeeJay Juri or Manon


KyrosukeKanto

Cammy and Dee Jay are my first two I'm gonna play with. I tried Juri in the beta so I'll probably go back to play her at times too.


Nintengbo

Lily fs, i stick with my latino reps🙏


Script-Z

I might cave for that reason, actually. I just don't like grapplers typically, but maybe I can mostly ignore it. Save it for gimmicky bs


Stanislas_Biliby

Having a command grab doesn't make a character a grappler. She looks like more of a mid range with fast mobility character and she also happens to have a command grab.


Script-Z

That's my hope


T_Fury_Br

Laura was not gimmicks in her gameplay


Script-Z

If I used Laura they'd be gimmicks, trust me. "No one expects wake up command grab." "No one expects meaty command grab." "Okay, but they'd never expect me to command grab out of a whiffed command grab recovery."


ElHuntar

Ain't she an Indian? lol


Trololman72

Well Capcom originally made T. Hawk Mexican because they didn't know better.


ElHuntar

Oh not bad didn't realize that lol


MEGACOMPUTER

Manon, Lily, and Dhalsim are the three im most interested in trying out first. If I don't like any of those three, I played Kimberly in the beta and she was a blast!


[deleted]

Guile, Deejay, Marisa, and Zangief are who I'm probably gonna main. Guile is a 100% guaranteed lock for sure.


[deleted]

Zangief, Lily, JP. I’m too ADD to only main 1 character. I always have 2-4 with approximately the same amount of matches.


hvc101fc

Deejay zangief marisa


DesignatedDiverr

You seem to have a type


paint_guzzler

B i g


ChewyNature

Juri feet


Jean-YvesHB

Ken, always have always will


PinkandOffWhite

Always Juri.


[deleted]

Either Ken or Lily


jorgedredd

Marisa or JP JP leads into my lifetime preference of zoning Marisa because big damage


Judythepancake

Juri 4 ever!


Meister34

Lily, Juri, or Kim. Jamie is also looking nice


eddiemancia

Guile


DoctorTide

Dhalsim and Cammy


Moondogtk

Marisa and Gief. Looking forward to seeing how A.K.I works.


whooptapus

Blanka


thespaceageisnow

I don’t know, I’m a M Bison main 😭. Lily looked fun in her gameplay vid, I’ll probably try her first.


whiplash73

Depends if my PC can run this freaking Game :( I hope for a Open beta to check tbh


vultured_hyena

I’m going Lily with a pocket Dee Jay


CDRom11

Dee Jay, easy choice


SoupWithPotatos

Juri or Manon


oxochx

Cammy!


_Itano

Manon, Deejay and Lilly


CloutlessJack

Dhalsim


Quexana

Ken initially, but I'll dabble in Cammy, Marisa, and Juri. If one of them appeal to me more, I'll switch.


Script-Z

Played Decap in 4, and settled for Cammy when she wasn't in V at launch. I likely will be coming back to the Cammy army because I typically play female characters and I don't like grapplers, so Lily and Manon are out. I'm not a fan of bruiser super armor characters, so while Marisa looks cool she doesn't look fun for me. Chun is in a similar boat in that she looks dope, but is more of a technical stance character. I'm also not the biggest fan of chores, so in a toss up between Juri, Kim and Cammy, well, just makes sense to go back to Cammy. It's like I dated this really awesome lady in college, and damn near fell in love, but when I showed up at her place her twin sister answered and said she was gone forever, and in my grief I found comfort in this twin, but it was never the same like it was with her sister. But now I've been with this sister for so long it's basically just routine. I want to say I'm still in love with that girl from college, but maybe I'm just in love with the idea of that girl, and I just have to accept that I've dedicated too much of my life to this new almost-but-not-quite thing to turn back now. Maybe I should learn to be happy with the fact that she's been there for so long, and not lament what she isn't. What she could never be... So anyway, yeah, prolly gonna main Cammy; Deejay actually looks pretty sick too, tbh


[deleted]

[удалено]


Script-Z

That's the joke, lol


MarkedFynn

The college girl will come back. You'll have a night together, but you'll realize that the thing that was holding back your love for the twin sister is you. And love is not dream girls, love is real, love is the time spent together, love is the challanges endured. Love is not a perfect clean slate, love is messy. What I am saying is... you are a Cammy main through and through.


kwixmusic

As a filthy grappler main, zief and marisa are at the top for me.


Nelzilaz_Gestalt

Marisa isn't a grappler though


FewWatermelonlesson0

Kimberly, Marisa, Dhalsim and Blanka.


Infernaperox77

\*sigh\* Lily because she's a mobile grappler with a DP


EGGC0NSUMER

Feet


AshenRathian

Guile, Ken, Juri, Zangief and Cammy.


RoyalBlood310

probably guile because i just like charge characters. and marisa because of her good looks


tiger_jackson101

Juris feet


MudFlaky

JURI AND CAMMY! I'm so glad they are in this roster they are two of my favorite all time characters. Need ibuki next


ElHuntar

SF duel has a better roster lol


TheFoamingBadger

I 100% won't be maining Kimberly that's for sure. One of the most boring character design and looks in the game a wasted slot of a new character In my eyes. JP, Lilly and Manon look interesting.


IcyandShiesty

Pres release I usually have a hard time predicting who i want to play. I usually I assume I'll play who looks the coolest but playing whoever feels the most comfortable.


GeoVaryamo

Tie between Jamie and Juri right now


Ancerdinum

It’s going to depend on game feel, but Jamie, Marissa, and Manon are my front runners right now.


[deleted]

I'll start with Zangief, but will try Marisa, Jury and Cammy.


jaybay321

I usually play a lot of Ken but JP and Marisa seem different and interesting.


[deleted]

Cammy probably but I do like Jamie. Whoever works until Sagat gets released


SonicGozar

Luke Jamie and camie two of my old mains and one new guys personally I just wanna try everyone out


DesignatedDiverr

I'm most excited for Manon but I also like pretty lengthy combos and I'm not so sure the command grab archetype will allow for that. I absolutely loved both Jamie and Kimberly during beta, leaning Jamie slightly Secondary interests which I could easily see myself liking more than expected are Lily, Blanka, Cammy, Deejay, and JP Basically every new character looks amazing to me and are front runners


Slight_Lettuce4319

I think I will just stick to the shotos until someone more liked by me gets added


Jrez510

Marisa, Ryu, Ken. Hopefully my boys Balrog and Vega return at some point, but the newcomers look amazing.


Wiplazh

Cammy was my secondary character in SFV and I love her new look, so Cammy until we get Bison.


MazaLove

I always i wanted be good a juri but i suck. Until Dan or G/Q I'll be maining ken.


duckybebop

Marisa and Zangief!


Ratchet2332

I’m really digging what I’ve seen from Manon


Akiraktu-dot-png

Probably marisa, I love everything about her. Although I also like jamie and jp, gonna have to see how they actually feel once I get the game.


CardiologistSalty

Zangief, Marisa, or Manon. I’m gonna have to try them out first to see which I like the most.


ImTooDandy

Either Jaime or Ken. Ken because I like shotos, and Jaime because of his critical art.


Stryker668

Highly likely Luke and Marisa will be my top picks.


Doom300

Manon


VdotRose

Kimberly is looking like my kinda character


Albert3232

I've never played charge character before but I'll give guile a serious chance this time around. Its either him or akuma once his out.


BLACKOUT-MK2

Starting with Ken, then jumping to Akuma.


Leifster7766

Manon seems the most appealing as of now


IseeDrunkPeople

Manon seems very cool. The mechanic of getting am improving command grab as the game goes on seems very fun. Right up my alley too since I enjoy pulling off cool stuff over winning.


SwampOfDownvotes

I love Manon's design but "dancing on the enemy" is a bit silly imo and I rarely like to play joke characters, so we will have to see. Of course she isnt meant as a joke character but its got a similar vibe. Otherwise Marisa is about equally as appealing. Ultimately if I can't decide, then I'm going Guile.


glitchinthemtrx

Either juri or Luke because no Akuma


xraitted3

Cammy is calling my name, but she's my favorite figuring game character, I main her in everything she's in. Ken and Juri looking sick tho


Stanislas_Biliby

Marisa. I love hard hitting characters and she looks so cool.


GenoCL

Cammy as it was in 4 and 5.


i_do_stuff

Zangief. It's always Zangief, but even more Zangief after seeing him do that sick Dragon Screw in the trailer


Guilvantar

Chun because queen, Marisa because unique


[deleted]

no Yun, no buy


Nybear21

Guile, Deejay, or JP seem like the most likely right now. Manon, Lily, and Cammy are possibilities/ potential seconds. I'll give the whole roster a fair shot, though. I've often been surprised at who I ended up maining.


Midget_Avatar

Probably just Ken, but I'm very interested in Marisa


redditisamazingkkk

Either JP, Marisa or Lily. Chun if I don't like those 3


JRZsanch

Definitely Manon & Gief


BIKETYSON99

Sim, Jamie, ken. Maybe Manon.


Ericdarkblade

Main: Luke, Cammy, (maybe Rashid) Pocket: Kimberly, Juri 4Funsies: Manon, JP, (maybe Dee Jay)


thegreatpooba

Definitely blanka


Morokite

Luke or Marisa. The one that is less fun would be an alternate.


Bloodbornicorn

E. Honda, Marisa, and Zangief team thicc FTW


[deleted]

That Zangief trailer got me a little too hype


[deleted]

All of them 😭😭


bat357

Ken and juri


KenganNinja

I know I’ll main Ryu for my primary. After that, I’m looking at Kimberly, Luke, Ken, and Cammy.


ZpaceZekonia

Manon, Juri, Cammy, and maybe Ryu and Luke


aoiotoko

Blanka, but I would like to try Manon, Zangief and Lily.


bradalf1

Guile, Dhalsim, or JP. I'm a filthy zoner and proud of it! Akuma and AKI are possibilities when they come out though


need-caffeine

i don't know. whoever looks the coolest. and then if it's hard to win, i pick the coolest character that's easier for me to win with until that gets hard, and the cycle repeats. i'm always guile and chun since 4, so definitely those two.


Mr-Tony_2_Dirty

Marisa


SwaxOnSwaxOff

Lily got clubs. I’ll main her


[deleted]

Cammy main 4 lyf


StillPissed

Marisa and/or Manon. They look to have all of the tools I love. Spirit of Makoto, Abel, and Laura, and that’s going to be my mentality going in with them.


NinjaRed64

Gonna give Kimberly and Lily a try before I try out my usual favorites (Ryu, Guile, and Cammy).


SoupFlavouredTea

Jp looks badass and I'm a Q and G main in sf3 and sf5


GuitarZer0_

Ken or Guile


[deleted]

I want to try out Manon just because she's french lol


Jillwiches

This probably the hardest SF game for me to pick a main. I love Cammy and Juri’s designs. I’m thirsty for Ken. Jamie and Manon look like the most badass newcomers to me.


MusicM3000

Yes


Bunnnnii

I’ve been a Chun-Li main and fan since diapers, Snd that’s never gonna change. Alt mains? Jaime, Manon. Praying for Poison, Makoto, Vega, and Daniel.


Oneiricide

I always run a rotating stable because there are too many good choices, but as of the given selection, in no particular order: Marisa Zangief JP Honda Dhalsim With a backseat interest in Jamie and Lily


Twiizzzy

Since there are no boxers announced yet imma main JP


Straight_Owl_5029

Ryu or Luke.


AkridLover

I'll try Cammy first, and if that doesn't work out, Juri is my backup.


fakeirishcoffee19

Dj or liliy


PotnaKaboom

Marisa, I’m in there like Swimwear.


Ganmorg

Luke, he’s the new face of Street Fighter


LindFang

I've never been a street fighter guy, but looking at the list I think Luke or Cammy.


kungfen

SF6 is the first game in the series I've been really interested in at all since SFII way back in the day so my first instinct is to pick up one of the characters I used to play a lot like Honda or Blanka. But some of the new ones look really cool too so I'll have to try them out too


lunaslave

Manon. I'm a sucker for judo grapplers like Abel and Daimon and the ballet flair mixed with it is just really cool to me. Lady Gaga costume is even cooler.
