Yup, came to say this. And Zubaz was very popular in the 90s, which is probably why it ended up on his shirt in the sketch.

The clothing brand Zubaz was at one point also co-owned by The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, basically the inspiration for every face painted mohawked wrestler you see in fiction.

Well, how would you react if "The Baz" design in Street Fighter 2 became a whiplashing heavy metal Japanese wrestler with a Hayao Miyazaki-like face named Zabuza the Bazooka?

@@SmashBrosOdyssey64 Oh wow, I didn't know they co-owned Zubaz! Makes sense considering the pants are like all they wore outside of the ring haha. Interesting too because while you can say they inspired a lot of face-painted mohawked wrestlers, they and many others were directly inspired by Mad Max, including Demolition, The Master Blasters, Mad Maxine, and Lord Humongous.

Roach dog jr

Mark of The Early 90s. Fury. Fatal. 🙃

Zaibatsu!

I will be an instant Zubaz main if that happens

ROPE WHIPS! LEATHER STRAPS! A SUITCATCHER BEARD! AND A RIPPED GYM SHIRT WITH THE WORD "ZUBAZ" CAN YOU FEEL THE STORM? ITS COMING!!!!!

We can make him our avatar figther in 6😅

Hard disagree. The last thing SF needs is another bland looking shoto variant wearing a Gi.

@@RetrOrigin "shoto variant" bro what part of martial arts fused with break dancing says shoto? He could have been like a mixup rushdown, hell if it's the gi that's the bad part he would have had alt costumes. This is 1000x better than fucking rufus

Right?! Instead he got another blonde white guy from America like that is all America has. 😅​@@DaDonroy101

@@alwaysxnever like literally the only special thing about rufus is is he is fat, and I guess comic relief? But I can't take him seriously as a rival for Ken, like Ryu and Sagat have this awesome rivalry that dates back so far and Ken has almost nothing else other than Ryu

@@DaDonroy101 ​ Still looks just as bland and generic as characters like Sean and Luke. I'm also not defending Rufus in any way shape or form, SFIV has some terrible designs for sure. King Cobra just seems insanely forgettable. Jamie is now supposed to be the character with break dancing influences anyway.

Costumer: One meat lovers, double the toppings, hold the sauce. Code for: Human traffickers, two targets, make it clean.

​@@AutumnWoodham LMFAO she would make a really good main character 😭

she kills the target in 30 minutes or the jobs free

​@@AutumnWoodham Damn, that's pretty clever.

@@AutumnWoodhamthats just John Wick, but make it goofy. I’m honestly all for it. Also imagine whenever her arcade epilogue starts. It will always look cheerful and cute. But then internal monologue adds whole evil/dangerous filter. With her explaining what those orders are.

Brilliant.

Zubaz truly is the people’s champion

What's pretty interesting is that Ringal was in Star Gladiator, and the Fourth Empire's Radar Site, where you would fight the character most of the time in the arcade ladder, has a musical theme that starts with the same chord progression as Killer Instinct's main theme, though otherwise remains very different. Other cool musical stuff: though I don't think they ripped-off any Tekken design for SFIII, there is a case to be made in how dynamic music change between rounds in Third Strike is similar in how it is implemented in the arcade version of Tekken 3. There is also a case to be made between Jin's arcade theme from Tekken 3 and Jamie's theme from SF6, though again we're talking inspiration, not plagiarism.

That’s what I was thinking when he was talking about Alex 😂😂

nope Riptor is clearly a jurassic park reference difficult to predate a character that don't exist Alex was instead a roger ironically Riptor is more closed to the velociraptor of the anime

And neither are fucking velociraptors! Nor Deinonychus, they aren't even dinosaurs. I hate that jurassic park design and its propagation to this day, just the pronanted hands send me into fits. Im glad that the character never saw the light of day.

It’s sad that we had all of those yet still got Lucia

P--Pizza...PIZZA TOWER? *shot with extreme prejudice* But yeah, I hope the Irish/Italian-looking pizza gal finally exists again. Unused character concepts are always fun!

@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 I mean, at least she's another popular character from a Final Fight sequel.

Rita and assassin pizza girl could totally appear in a potential rival schools 3. I totally see them as foreign students like Tiffanny.

I love the idea behind Rita, but I really want the evil magician character to become canon. I LOVE the idea of a female street magician who uses playing cards as weapons. Like a fusion between Gambit and Zattana if she were a member of a street gang!

If having reference many mangas/animes is quite hard. Then they could make her a Capcom fan. Have her like she grew up playing old Capcom games because of her parents, and now she's got the fascination for the company. Of course Final Fight and Rival Schools would have to be excluded to not cause a Paradox or something, but it's an idea.

@@edgarlozada3858 They could easily just have the various Capcom games from the entire Street Fighter universe exist in universe as officially licensed games, similar to the NBA, WWE, UFC, FIFA , Nascar, etc. games.

We almost got Goku canon to Street Fighter.

I mean, we do have a redhead Italian in Marisa. ...THAT MENAT TO MARISA PIPELINE

​​@@edgarlozada3858 Don't Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Rival Schools share the same universe? I'm trying to understand where the time paradox would come in to play in this scenario. Also, now that I think about it, having Rita as a part of this cast, with this context, would be similar in some ways to Kamala's origin story in Marvel's Avengers.

He has his oil his wife doesn't matter

Agreed. King Cobra looks really cool. It would be cool if they brought him to Street Fighter 6.

Bring him back, Capcom! :) Though, then again. Breakdancing and Kung-Fu is kinda Jamie's thing now. He's kinda lost his niche.

Honestly, he looks generic to me.

@@pn2294 Yeah to be honest he kinda looks to basic looking even looking like another palette swap shoto, God as if we already haven't enough of those.

Japan's history with Black characters is...🤨

Same

Hey, it's soul power! The evil magician girl could be Menat's evil side that split off, something akin to King Piccolo. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Streetfighter needs more Rivals.

Yeah, pretty sure this is the case. I rocked zubaz all the time when I was a kid.

Yep. It would be nice if You Tubers did some actual research before making videos.

I agree, I loved that game. Would love to see some join the SF roster or get a sequel.

And then you see how many bad designs get canned along the way lmao.

"Mix that with SF also severely lacking black rep and I am hurting" Black characters have been a part of SF since SF1 what are you talking about?

@@frozenvoltz6739 yeah on second thought I was definitely wrong about that, especially with SF6. King Cobra still would've been a very welcome addition though

I thought that myself. I mean yeah, KC was a little memey/typecasty, but he woulda been miles better than Doofus.

​@@sasha1mama the break dancing fighting idea that's been around since forever.

@@frozenvoltz6739 SF1 - Mike SF2 - Balrog & Dee Jay SF3 - Elena Anyone I missed?

I was about to make a similar comment about the origins of the name Zubaz. Since it already exists, I'll just add the following: When Zubaz brand workout pants were first invented, they were heavily associated with the pro wrestling tag-team the Road Warriors, who wear facepaint just like The Baz does.

Nakamura has gone soft in recent years

@@RazorsEdge701 I never actually connected the dots with the Road Warriors connection, that’s sick! Makes sense too, massive tag team in Japan.

Cute that they turned that around to someone who looks strong and isn't

​@@csurname 💀

Yup I agree

Guess SNK nabbed the inspiration before capcom (ramon)

There are a good number of video game characters based on Tiger Mask, most famously King from Tekken. Among 80s wrestlers he's up there with Riki Choshu in terms of name recognition among the average person in Japan, so that shouldn't be too surprising.

Rita and assassin pizza girl could totally appear in a potential rival schools 3. I totally see them as foreign students like Tiffanny.

I hope they put some of these concept characters in the background because it would be super funny

Rita and assassin pizza girl could totally appear in a potential rival schools 3. I totally see them as foreign students like Tiffanny.

Menats concept art "sisters" could become their own characters practically (pizza assasin & soulpowered otaku being standouts) And King Cobra would be a great adition , hope they revisit his design & make him official sadly there is no official art of him from what i can find so he is not canon.. yet!

She might turn up in the corner of your eye when eating at a KFP restaurant.

Well, I'd like to vision that the older Tiffany would look like her Street Fighter 3 promo art design. For Asuka, she could be Makoto's little sister resembling one of Makoto's early designs and for more hypothetical Rita lore, she could tell Marisa that she could lift up an entire city with her pinky finger much like how overpowered anime characters could pick up things way bigger and heavier than themselves. The anime characters that Rita's skills could take influence from would be Shonen Jump protagonists mainly Son Goku (Dragon Ball), Yusuke Urameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho) and Jotaro Kujo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure). What do you think?

​@@HeartAino193 Asuka wouldn't need to be related to anyone I think. I mean the designs are good enough or far apart enough, to not need it.

I was thinking of roy when he was talking about presidents and Tiffany. Roy becomes a president in the future. But he could be a representative in the present. And Tiffany was his bodyguard in one of the endings.

@@DSan-kl2yc Heh, I think mentioned something like this in one of the reply chains somewhere, so I'm definitely on the same wavelength with you there!

@@DSan-kl2yc well I could vision Roy to be a Californian representative as well as being a former San Francisco 49er because he was in his school's football team.

Why?

@@pn2294 why what?

@@coronbrown9238he thinks King Cobra looks generic, based on another comment he made. So I’m guessing he means why do we need King Cobra. Which I disagree, King Cobra looks sick and I’ll never forgive that he became Rufus

I only just learned about him from this video. The fact that he was thrown out in favor of fucking Rufus is perplexing at best and just insulting at its worst.

@@TheShockVox naw the story line itself and he’s look made me hype. I highly disagree. There a few others in this video I wouldn’t mind coming back and/or being a shoutout with dlc clothing.

The Malaysian woman was far better than fang but the other ones YIKES

@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 I'd like to reiterate that the "3 Monkeys" characters kinda fit but were way too weird but the fact they almost considered a small Inuit Child and a Hawaiian Mom to work with the Evil Terrorist organization is just... no... just no....

Yeah I doubt “Kid who’s dressed for the snow” would look like a good top henchmen for M.Bison

I think Indian Superstar could've worked. The money he gets from his live performances could go to Shadaloo or something. The character that is good on the outside, evil on the inside type of deal

@@GenericProtagonist118 Unless, those good characters got mind-controlled by Bison, just like how Ken was, in the SF2 Animated movie. And then they get their spell broken individually as the game finishes, and then they'll turn into playable cahracters for the next game/DLC. Also, I think the child got turned into Lily, after all these years. Come one, her throwing capabilities is astonishing, to say the least!

Just a reminder that they would all be in their late 30s

I always liked shoma. I hope he gets at least a cameo eventualy.

we need a new rival school

@@internetera1523 They would be late 20s not 30s

Tiffany seems like one of the easiest RS characters to transition into SF. Combine Dudley and Mika's moveset boom your done.

Cmon Malaysian girl was awesome and you know it

The concept of "See no evil, Hear no Evil, and speak no evil" sounds interesting... but why did they make them that of all things?!

@@Xetyou that a very good question. heck these two from the "speak no evil and hear no evil" possible as a villain characters by design itself but the "see no evil" person is very weird a literally monkey grab person face and that person can't see but monkey can see and sound very meta if something else i had nothing to said that.

I think that F.A.N.G.'s biggest issue wasn't his design, but the way he was written and animated. I think that the character design is okay, but the way he moves and flaps his arms around constantly just makes him look like a small child wearing his dad's clothes. I could legitimately see the design working if they made him come across as cold and calculated, leaning into a more mysterious angle, but instead they decided that they wanted to double down on the idea that the sleeves were like wings and decided that every scene needed him to flap his arms and never stop pacing around and spinning. Honestly, he should have spent most of the game perched on a high ledge ominously, silently observing and waiting for a moment when his target was at a disadvantage. I feel like the visual design implies that he should be kind of like a mix between a spitting cobra and vulture: swooping in to fend off bruised and beaten fighters with his poison attacks to incapacitate them before dragging incapacitated fighters away to an unknown location to create a supply of test subjects for Bison's latest run of experiments. I guess that they wanted a comic relief character, but they completely failed to take advantage of the fact that the design is legitimately unsettling (his proportions are really uncanny and freakish with his strange, distended face and enormous monster hands. He should really have been much more cold and calculated, kind of showing up in the background during the story mode for the most part and having his motivations be less explicit until the late game, which would be when you actually saw him fight and got a good look at him for the first time.) Crucially, my imagined version barely speaks and definitely doesn't spend scenes bickering with the other two sub bosses whilst never standing still. I know that mute characters can be a bit overdone in fighting games, but F.A.N.G. really would have had so much more going for him with most of his dialogue removed and maybe even having no vocal cords at all. If you're familiar with Dr Phibes (a mad scientist character played by Vincent Price, who lost his ability to speak in a car accident that also killed his wife and takes revenge on the people he considers responsible for her death. His MO is kind of similar to Jigsaw from Saw in that he abducts people and sets up life and death challenges for them and he also served as partial inspiration for V in V For Vendetta, with the lair, dancing scene and several other aspects of the character taking direct inspiration from Phibes) I would have gone for something along those lines for any dialogue. He would only speak through an artificial voice and the explanation for him being the way he is would be left up to the imagination for the most part, with him possibly even being shown eating by unhinging his jaw and swallowing things whole, leaning into the venomous snake/bird motif with some explicit body horror.

the weirdest scrapped designs here are some of the most basic arcsys character designs lmao.

I don't know what thier thinking either but best was having a diverse set of characters with different shape,sizes,age & whatever. And before E. Honda we didn't get another fat character like him until SF4 which we got Rufus who to be honest I kinda do like. Also it all worked out in the end when the devs mentioned in an interview that the concept idea for Jaime in SF6 was from Rufus in SF4. Basically the idea for Jaime came from the idea for Rufus that came from the idea of King Cobra lmao.

I dunno if it is a cultural thing but they really seem disinterested in giving us another American black guy and literally making all the dudes Blonde. I'm still salty that Luke wasn't black. Lol

@@Alexcobra861 I'd like to vision that Rita and the pizza girl (in which I'd call her Margarita) could be sisters with a father that's a weeb martial arts using Mafia boss who owns an Italian restaurant.

@@HeartAino193 good ideas!

​@@HeartAino193Capcom concept team:Write that down! Write that down!

@@Alexcobra861 while Rita would be an All Rounder with Shoto moves inspired by Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho and Hokuto no Ken, Margarita would be a Rushdown character with moves inspired by TMNT, Naruto and Assassin's Creed. And why the name Margarita? It's because there's a variety of pizza called a Margherita that could serve as inspiration for the name of the "Pizza Assassin" and the name Margarita means pearl which is considered to be a magically enchanted object. What do you think?

@@Alexcobra861 That's a thought!

I feel with cobra they could do a backstory of him knowing Ryu and Ken before the world tournament back in alpha days. He could be the inspiration behind the gi on Ryu of Sf4. He basically missed out on the tournaments because of wanting to improve his strength and signature style. On sf6 they could have him being a disciple of Oro and be the main character for DLC story. If not oro path, his fighting style could be based off of kyokushin instead of shotokan karate. Imagine him throwing a different color projectile, a more heavy based style like Ryo from Art of fighting. That or he could also have been absent because of being an agent like C. Viper. So many paths to choose from

Honestly the moment i saw the dinosaur i was thinking more about the beat 'em up cadillacs and dinosaurs

Hauzer definitely was an inspiration

@@warrenbradford2597 yeah, though Luke surprisingly grew on me eventually (unlike Rufus, and despite Luke’s design not really being all that original from the cast of 5 with him being another blonde dude) mainly because he got a better design and Alex’s Le (Luke’s English voice actor) being in on the memes and having fun with him. Besides 6’s cast looks hella cool and promising with Kimberly, Jamie, JP etc so I guess I can slightly forgive them. But it’ll be cool to see him as dlc. He has too much of a cool design to just be left on the shelve of forgotten concepts.
