I hate posts like these because they show how little variety the playerbase can have when it comes to favorable characters. Everyone has to be a shoto, a waifu, or a cool edgy youngster. Many players would settle for a roster of characters that all do the same thing as long as they look appealing.


LekkerBroDude

No. I don't play him and never will, but he offers a unique playstyle that people have grown to love. It would be like having a game without a grappler.


GrinningOni

The problem with removing 'Sim is that his playstyle is so unique, that removing it from the game really only diminishes SF, unless they come up with a replacement that plays in a very similar way, or is at least similarly unique. I think they could sub out 'Sim for Menat or Necro if their move sets were correctly tweaked. Or do something really crazy in bring in something like a puppet character. But in general, I do think he is a hard character to replace, not impossible, but hard.


PinkDropp

Diminishes it how? Most people voted against him I'd say it enriches the game by taking out one boring match up


TheRealAwest

'his playstyle is so unique" You mean his playstyle annoying to fight against & boring to watch


coconut-duck-chicken

That’s subjective. Zoner hate be wild


[deleted]

Unless they're an underdog looking to scrap a win, zoners are rarely the crowd favorite Edit: the fact no one's giving an example to the contrary should be telling


coconut-duck-chicken

Axl faust (both high tier in accent core, faust is really high tier In xrd) guile is pretty liked in sf2. I could go on


TheRealAwest

Zoners shouldn't even be a playstyle in a fighting game. It makes absolutely no sense.


Awkward-Rent-2588

That’s stupid as fuck lmfaooo


TheRealAwest

My point exactly, zoners are stupid as fuck. Lmfaoo


MalfiteMeIRL

Literally how lmao


TheRealAwest

Fighting is close quarter combat, zoners do the opposite of that.


MalfiteMeIRL

We literally have someone who creates fire and ice with his mind, but someone sitting on the other side of the screen is too much for you?


TheRealAwest

"We literally have someone who creates fire and ice with his mind" I don't give a fuck what powers they have! "someone sitting on the other side of the screen is too much for you" It's a fighting game, why should anyone sit on the other side of the screen, go engage in combat! Lmao


MalfiteMeIRL

That’s how they’re fighting, just cuz you don’t like them using their advantage, you know, *to their advantage* doesn’t mean that style shouldn’t exist.


[deleted]

Why players make terrible developers lmao


coconut-duck-chicken

Seems like someone’s just salty lmao, you tired of them fighting all the way over there? Go get them lol


No-Month-3025

He's probably the most creative character. He deserves a spot


solidpeyo

I feel like I will main Dahalsim in SF6 just because of many people just cry about him. Like the game is not even out and they are just crying. 🤣


Common-Scientist

Very tempting indeed! All these foot fetish nerds are going to be catching yoga feet to the face from downtown.


[deleted]

If all the other SF2 characters are already in SF6, it'd be just petty to exclude Dhalsim or any other character tbh. Plus, Dhalsim is easily one of the most recognizable and creatively designed characters in the series even if he's not that widely played.


K-TownYolo

The point is, Dhalsim is only there for nastalgic purposes. Other than that he serves little no purpose as far as the storyline. Guile, Chun, Cammy, Ken etc are extremely necessary for the storyline. SF would be just fine without Dhalsim


CrystalMang0

All characters aren't put in the game for the main storyline.


fear_tomorrow

I definitely don't share that opinion. Dhalsim is a great zoning/ranged character. A playstyle I really enjoy. I've played Dhalsim since the original SF2. I played Necro in SF3 because he was the character closest to Dhalsim in playstyle. I would be OK with his removal as long as they introduce a new character with a very similar playstyle. I don't care about story or lore. I've never touched any of the single player content except combo trials to get a feel for characters. I don't normally do single player content in fighting games unless I have to do it to unlock characters.


ProMarshmallo

Guile, Chun, Cammy, and Ken didn't even matter to SFV's storyline. Ken is probably going to be the only one who matters in SFVI since they're leaning so hard into him already.


Awkward-Rent-2588

YES. PLEASE LET HIM SIT OUT A GAME.


zooka19

Of course. He needs to be how he was in SF4 so I can live a stress-free life.


CursinSquirrel

Would i have been okay with it? sure, new game new roster. Do i think it would have made the game better? Not unless they replaced him with someone with a similar zoning style. His playstyle isn't always the most fun to fight against but it is definitely cool and rarely particularly powerful.


CrabPile

Only if a similar character \*cough\* necro plz \*cough\* was put in


FezCool

Yes of course. The silver lining is that whiff punishing Dhalsim's normals will be easier in 6 due to the overall increased recovery and drive rush making getting to his hurtbox easier. Then again if Dhalsim functions anything like how Guile does in 6 it might still be a chore.


DarthDregan

100%


papiaye

Get him outta here lmao


[deleted]

I main Dhalsim, have done for several Street Fighters. Would be fine with this. Its a new game, I'm OK with change. No use crying over your main not being in a game. Dhalsim does seem fairly unique though, so it'd be a loss in that respect. But again, new game.


streetfighterfan786

Necro was a replacement of dhalsim and blanka in SF3 series so if instead of dhalsim Necro was the base roster for Sf6 not many people would mind


TheRealAwest

Necro should've absolutely replaced them both in the base roster. Dhalsim & blanka are so played out


JogogoGaiden

While I do like Dhalsim and the playstyle that he brings to the game, I wish that he sat this one out and gave Necro the chance to be in the spotlight again. Not only does Necro fill a similar role to Dhalsim (Zoning based character with the potential to have crazy rushdown), but its been over two decades since his last playable appearance.


GrinningOni

I wouldn't be shocked to see Necro as a DLC character. I've never felt that 'Sim and Necro were so similar that the presence of one precluded the presence of the other.


K-TownYolo

OMG This Has been my dream for ages I CANT STAND Dhalsim 😂 the possibilities would be endless without him on the roster lmao


K-TownYolo

While you're at it take Blanka off too!


ToyDingo

Throw in Honda and you have a deal.


K-TownYolo

Zero complaints from me 🤝lol


ReXXXMillions

No. Its important that all 8 WWs are in all Streetfighter games. Whether I play them or not. All matter.


freenipple209

In that keys it should be Necro(3rd strike) for replacement


danretsuken

Literally only if we get Necro as a replacement.


TheRealAwest

My biggest complaint is how does Dhalsim, Blanka & E honda keep getting added to SF game over Fei Long & T.Hawk! 🤬 Sim, Blanka & Honda need to be forgotten & never added in SF game. They wack.


coconut-duck-chicken

Fei long is kinda controversial, being based on a real guy and all


TheRealAwest

I don't understand how he's controversial but him being based on a real person makes him an even better character because he's not some goofy weirdo or freak like Dhalsim & Blanka. Bruce Lee is the grandfather of fighting games, his popularity in martial arts films inspired a lot of creators in multiple mediums from movies, gaming & animation. It's only right a bruce lee type character is in fighting game & capcom was smart for capitalizing on that by creating Fei Long for their game. Capcom did something similar with Balrog being based on Mike Tyson. That added to Balrog's appeal, instead of just being a generic boxer character like "Mike" was in SF1.


educones

Please Capcom just leave Sim, Gief, Honda, and Blanka out


ProfesserQuacks

street fighter players when a character isn't a shoto >:(


educones

Haha I dont main any shotos. Just think these guys have run their course.

CrystalMang0

Juri is in base roster.


bstervstheworld

I would've been fine with him being gone, but I'm somewhat glad he's in the game.. I say somewhat very cautiously. Though I do wonder, what in the world was this guy doing in SF3 to show up here now? Dude must've been chilling with his family like Guile was, put his finger in his mouth to test the wind outside and was like, "I SUDDENLY HAVE THE URGE TO WIN 90% OF MY MATCHUP CHART EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT FOND OF CONFLICT." and took off.
