Sf6 dlc season picks are always going to be divisive but the real issue isn't new characters vs. Fan favorites etc.
It's 4 characters a year.
The slow pace makes it the desperation for your favorites to get in even worse. Sfv had tons of newcomers mixed with fan favorites.
They're actually doing it
When Tifa releases I wouldn't be surprised if Street Fighter 6 breaks 100k concurrent players on steam
Happy to see some brand new characters also in the mix for the first time since A.K.I.
