Street Fighter 6 DLC: 10 Characters Capcom MUST Add
4. Iori Yagami
Despite Capcom's penchant for partnering their IP with any other studio who will have them, they've been notably reserved when it comes to mainline Street Fighter games. Only characters outright owned by Capcom have made the jump to past Street Fighters, but if Capcom are going to break the habit of a lifetime and invite other studios' characters to the party then their first guest of honour has to be Iori Yagami.
King of Fighter's iconic redhead would be ??????? for Street Fighter 6. Capcom's latest game is the flashiest, most self-conciously stylish Street Fighter yet, and the impeccably designed Iori Yagami would fit right in.
As well as having a haircut that birthed a thousand emos, Iori's tradermark high-fashion look has been the envy of video game designers for decades. (Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Smash Bros, admitted that when he first laid eyes on Iori he thought "Whoever created this character must be a genius!")
Iori naturally has the game to back up his fashion sense, and his trademark pyrotechnic fighting style would slot in nicely with the rest of Street Fighter's superpowered crew. Also, seeing one of SNK's most famous characters throw hands with Capcom's crew would be a delightful call back to the rivalry that once existed between the two developers.
And if it leads to another Capcom vs SNK game? Well, that's just gravy.
