* '''Eleven''': He was a part of Illuminati's G-Project experiment, and was tossed aside by Urien being deemed a failure. You think he'd wouldn't feel resentment towards Urien for this? C'mon, that's some good story potential right there!
* '''Maggio''': He's looking for his older sister Aprile, who has been turned into one of Bison's Dolls, so he has a good motivation to participate in the game's events, and his design looks a bit to unique to simply be a detail only mentioned on the Capcom Fighters Network. Not to mention a [[KillerYoYo yo-yo fighter]] would be pretty unique for ''Street Fighter''.

* '''Eagle''': He hasn't made a single appearance since he made a major comeback in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'' and then popped up in the portable versions of ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'', plus it would be interesting to see how he would interact with Birdie and Zangief.
* '''Hunter''': Just for the sake of having [[UnexpectedCharacter another surprise]] ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' character, this ''Final Fight 3'' enemy could utilize multiple sports into his attacks, such as soccer, basketball, Frisbee throwing, baseball, American fooball, golf, etc. His theme could be a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JYlCrP4t5k&t=164s Law and Disorder]].
* '''The other two Neo Shadaloo members''': Falke has already been confirmed to be in the game, so it's pretty likely that the other two will make an appearance in the future. The gorilla in particular would be highly interesting being the first animal to be playable in a ''Street Fighter'' game, even if it has the potential of leading to mass fan outcry of [[Memes/{{Transformers}} "STRET FITER NOT MUNKEY!"]]

** However, all that seems to be completely jossed, as Sakura comes back in SFV without the tan, and as a part of the Season 3 roster in Arcade Edition.



** As of Arcade Edition and as part of the Season 3 character pass, Sagat makes his eventual return in SFV. Though he's saved for last.




to:

** As of Arcade Edition, 7 DLC characters are new to SFV, while the other 11 are returning legacy characters.




to:

*As of Arcade Edition, this may not be probably the case, as there are different "routes/ladders" depending on the various SF titles chosen, if anything, he'll be on the SFV route, but probably not on the explained above, however, consider this possibly jossed as Shin Akuma takes that idea with the permanent V-Trigger state.

to:

* As of Arcade Edition, consider this to be completely jossed, as its left that way due to possible ESPN and Capcom Cup mandates. PC modding restores it, though however there's nothing like this on the PS4 version.

** However, as of Arcade Edition, Akuma is exactly this, as Shin Akuma (but not what you expect from the above). The portions of the above are jossed for Bison/F.A.N.G./Necalli.

* Possible that some time between getting resurrecting after getting killed by Akuma in ''SFII'' and after the events of ''SFIV'', Bison found out that the Illumanati actually ''exists'', initially writing it off as conspiracy theory superstition, and it was subtly manipulating his actions the whole time. Of course, being the arrogant mass murderer with a God complex that he is, Bison decides to put his usual world domination plot on hold to concentrate fully on building up resources to ultimately destroy the Illumanti, leaving him unopposed to TakeOverTheWorld for real. Of course, thanks to various factors, Bison fails spectacularly...

[[WMG:Five Season 2 Characters]]
{{Word of God}} says the five non-Akuma DLC characters will be "new to the SF universe." This is an interesting choice of words considering that it can be interpreted as:

A. Being a brand new character like Rashid, Laura, etc.

B. Be from a Capcom franchise outside of SF like Final Fight, Rival Schools, etc.

C. Being a returning non-playable character who is now playable (possibly for Helen/Kolin).

Viper disappears during the events of V and Rashid goes out to find her. Before she vanished, C. Viper warns Rashid not to pursue Shadaloo because it's dangerous. It would also [[PapaBear explain why they are so close in social media]]: he's keeping close tabs on Lauren and Viper. His presence and watchful eye from afar also explain why Lauren is basically living a good life financially, if Viper's arcade ending from StreetFighterIV is any indication. The only reason they aren't married or in a relationship is due to a combination of MarriedToTheJob and DangerousWorkplace.

* Ryu is no stranger to crossing dimensions if his guest appearance in VideoGame/AsurasWrath is any indication. Assuming that that particular encounter is canon, it would have taken place during or after ''Street Fighter IV'' as Ryu and Evil Ryu appear in their ''Street Fighter IV'' incarnations. After Ryu is knocked back into his own dimension by Akuma, Ryu goes back into training after succumbing to the Satsui no Hadou in the fight against Asura which sets up his appearance in ''Street Fighter V'', where he is training to suppress the Satsui no Hadou. Gouken then instructs Ryu to cross into another dimension so that he can learn to fight without relying on the Satsui no Hadou, with that other dimension being the world of ''Smash Bros.'' Lo and behold, not only is Ryu's appearance in ''Smash Bros.'' lifted from his model from ''Street Fighter V'', Evil Ryu is nowhere to be seen in ''Smash Bros.''

** FYI, the Lost Episodes of ''Asura's Wrath'' are, according to WordOfGod, [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]]. (RuleOfCool and RuleOfFun were almost certainly in play.) That doesn't detract from the rest of the theory since Ryu still struggles with the Satsui no Hadou in the actual story of ''V''.



According to [[http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column-130265.html his official SFV bio]], conquering the world is NOT the purpose of doing acts like launching the Black Moon. You can ask what Bison would need such power for, if not world domination.

SFV has the Illuminati carry out a scheme to end Shadaloo, with Bison's death at Charlie's hands written in prophecy. And while Charlie fails to slay Bison, Bison dies at Ryu's hands with Shadaloo falling.

SFV establishes that Bison's death is necessary for the Illuminati to go ahead with its plans for mankind. Now, I propose that Bison knew about the Illuminati, its leadership, and its plans. He was seeking power to crush Gill and end the Illuminati's designs on the world. The Illuminati caught wind of this and come SFV is moving against him, reviving Charlie to serve as an assassin.
* That may be true, but even if so he's still pure evil. This isn't either Shadaloo or the Illuminati being dark heroes all along, but two evil organizations — one the robber baron, the other the moral tyrant — plotting against each other.

It's because Charlie has a massive grudge towards the military he was once part of, since [[CalvaryBetrayal it decided to betray him just when he had defeated M. Bison]] in. After Charlie was, um... "[[CameBackWrong fixed]]" by the Illuminati, he engaged in a quest for answers why the military betrayed him, and discovered that many of his former higher-ups were allied with Shadaloo. It would explain why he's so cold to Guile after so many years apart -- because Guile wasn't there when he was betrayed, Charlie thought his best friend/pupil had abandoned him. Guile's promotion twisted the knife even further, as Charlie now associates military personnel of higher rank with loyalty to Shadaloo -- therefore, Guile's higher rank makes him a Shadaloo agent by default.

The Obi Wan has been merged with Mentor Archetype. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


* '''Rose''': She's Bison's EnemyWithout as well as something of the series' [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan]][=/=]BigGood, and ''IV'' had her being cryptically prophetic about Ryu's fated battle against Bison, whom she's personally failed to kill [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha twice]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV before]]. Unless Bison [[DroppedABridgeOnHim offed her behind the scenes between games]] (which seems unlikely taking Rose and Guy's ''SSFIV'' endings into account), there's no reason Rose wouldn't be involved now that her other half has resurfaced. Soul Reflect might be turned into her V-Skill (with forward or backward DI accounting for the other two versions of the special, much like how Rashid has two V-Skills), and either [[DoppelgangerAttack Soul Illusion]] or [[OrbitingParticleShield Soul Satellite]] as her V-Trigger (the latter may be a safer bet, so as to not overlap with similar moves like Genei Jin, Seiei Enbu, and Feng Shui Engine).

It's because Charlie has a massive grudge towards the military he was once part of, since [[CalvaryBetrayal it decided to betray him just when he had defeated M. Bison (Street Fighter Alpha 2). After Charlie was, um... "[[CameBackWrong fixed]]" by the Illuminati, he engaged in a quest for answers why the military betrayed him, and discovered that many of his former higher-ups were allied with Shadaloo. It would explain why he's so cold to Guile after so many years apart - because Guile wasn't there when he was betrayed, Charlie thought his best friend/pupil had abandoned him. Guile's promotion twisted the knife even further, as Charlie now associates military personnel of higher rank with loyalty to Shadaloo - therefore, Guile's higher rank makes him a Shadaloo agent by default.

Why would they all be developed at once? Well, perhaps...

[[WMG: The DLC characters will factor into the Cinematic Story Mode]]
We can see Nash looking at a photograph of Guile in the trailer, as if to show he still has some sense of humanity left and hasn't been completely consumed by the desire to kill Bison. Not only that, but makes a cameo in the Character Stories as well alongside fellow DLC characters Balrog, Juri and Ibuki, with all of them sporting redesigns. Why would they be popping up here? Well, if half the DLC roster is to be released before the Cinematic Story Mode goes live in June, it would only make sense for some, if not all the DLC characters to factor into it, especially if they're all being developed simultaneously as discussed in the above WMG.
