* Sakura: With a good idea of what her potential future could be like, Sakura could focus on becoming a gym teacher (as she teased in ''[=SFIV=]''. Of course, there's still the option of becoming Ryu's apprentice when the time comes.

* Neo Shadaloo: Ever since the end of ''V'', Ed has been forming his own group to save those who were tortured by Bison. At the end of his character story, he was shown to recruit three members aside from himself--although only Falke was playable out of them. ''6'' onwards could officilly bring in the other teased members, advance Ed and Falke's stories, and even bring in even more new memebers of Neo Shadaloo.

* T. Hawk: Ever since the end of ''V'', T. Hawk's sister has been freed from the control of Bison and Shadaloo. T. Hawk almost certainly could see how his sister's doing since then.
* Makoto: Given her past appearances, Makoto's story could focus on her continuing to promote Rindo-kan karate. Another tournament and/or world-threatening event could provide her with the ways to do so.
* Q: The biggest mystery of ''[=SFIII=]'', Q's story could be about learning what they actually are, as well as their potential connections to G.
* Remy: With what we know about him so far, the next step in Remy's journey could involve him meeting his father at long last, and learning about his reasons for abandoning him and his sister. It could even have Remy forgive his father at long last afterwards.

* Fei Long: While Fei Long wasn't playable (or even shown) in ''V'', it's still made clear that he's still acting. Perhaps we can see what films he was making during the Shadaloo and Illuminati conflicts.

* Vega: With Shadaloo defeated for good, Vega is in need of new employment. Future appearances could very well involve him working for a new group--or even form one himself.



* F.A.N.G, Phantom: As shown in a side story to ''V'', F.A.N.G has begun attempts to revive Shadaloo. This would be the obvious route to go for him should he return. And given how he has an apprentice of his own, Phantom's story could begin by detailing her origins in more detail.




to:

* Seth: As shown at the end of his character story in ''V'', he's heavily implied to have his personality completey reset. Him returning with a completely different personality than the megalomaniac he was in past games could be an interesting way to continue his story.
* Gill: Like he said in ''V'', Gill heavily hinted at seeing G's powers before. Because of that, his next chapter could focus on his connection with G.
* Cody, Lucia: In ''6'', the Mad Gear has been hinted at a potential resurgence. With Cody having fought them before, and Lucia having fought a splinter group of theirs, both of their arcs could continue with fighting the group once more.

[[WMG:Future character plotlines in the series]]
%% Note: any leaked plotlines in ''Street Fighter 6'' should not be officially confirmed until after their reveal.
* Blanka: After he helped sell the Blanka-chan dolls in ''[=SFV=]'', Blanka could find another way to boost his popularity. Perhaps he could have his own superhero/sentai series next (inspired by one of his Arcade Mode endings in ''V'').
* Sakura: With a good idea of what her potential future could be like, Sakura could focus on becoming a gym teacher (as she teased in ''[=SFIV=]''. Of course, there's still the option of becoming Ryu's apprentice when the time comes.
* Zeku, Guy, Ibuki: As teased in his character story in ''V'', Zeku is keen on creating a new style of ninjutsu (all but confirmed to be the Striders). His future could revolve around the formation of the aforementioned group. Since Guy's his pupil and he was interested in recruiting Ibuki, those two ninjas can join the group as well, setting up their futures as well.
* Neo Shadaloo: Ever since the end of ''V'', Ed has been forming his own group to save those who were tortured by Bison. At the end of his character story, he was shown to recruit three members aside from himself--although only Falke was playable out of them. ''6'' onwards could officilly bring in the other teased members, advance Ed and Falke's stories, and even bring in even more new memebers of Neo Shadaloo.

[[WMG:There will eventually be at least 66 playable members from the Illuminati]]
It's been stated that there are 66 Secret Arts members of the Illuminati can learn. We currently have two playable members that learned one Secret Art each (Gill learned Resurrection, while Urine uses Aegis Reflector). Later down the line, it's possible that we can have 64 other members of the Illuminati playable--with each one having a different Secret Art we haven't learned about.

* Cody, Lucia, Poison--''Final Fight'' characters have been common place in the franchise since ''Alpha''--these three could carry over from ''SFV'' because of that.

** Well, Capcom has their own explanations, but seeing as they're not all that scientific (his skin turned green from absorbing too much chlorophyll from the surrounding foliage and the electricity... well, it probably has to do with electric eels), we take them with a grain of salt. Although amusingly enough, Capcom USA actually did use that origin story on their promotion of the SNES version of ''SFII''.
