Definitely. They need to change Ryu up. -and since he's the most hardcore of all the street fighters, he should get a new hardcore style (they have to redraw them all anyway). Maybe he can even go shirtless, and no gloves, so hardcore is he. That special kick he got in SF3 is a good indicator of what his style should be like...powerful and precise. -although I think it would be cool if he adopted a few Muay Thai techniques that he would have picked up fighting Sagat so much.Originally posted by 88mph
I'd like to see a post SF3 Ryu who has given up on the Hadoken...
That would be fucking bad ass.
Ken can remain fancy, with all sorts of TKD-style trappings, and Akuma can go all out on the shoto-special moves...but they should really play up his "demonic" aspect.
Also, I think Dhalism is a fine choice, considering he has to be redrawn, hopefully SNK will do something new with him. I'm interested in seeing what they'll do with Guile, though...he's pretty much perfect as he is (SFA3/VS style), on a conceptual level. All his moves work together, his "style" is cohesive and it looks like all his moves were learned together (not something that can be said of most characters). It would be cool if he got some other blade kicks though, like a leg-sweep flash kick or something. Also, maybe he get a new outfit...his Air Force fatigues never made much sense anyway.
