STREET FIGHTER
Nominating the Street Fighter Verse for Tier 7
Formation: 3-4-3
Forward/Strikers:
Akuma - Strongest and deadliest of the SF cast. His fast movements, deadly power, intangibility and overall aggression would allow him to constantly put pressure onto his opponents and can easily steal the ball, break defense and could get in some fair shots.
M. Bison - Bison Warp allows him to warp into different areas of the arena making him hard to catch and his Psycho Crusher and slide attack gives him different tackling options and zoom across the field like a madman.
Ibuki - Her fast mobility should make it hard for her foes to catch up and can perform the Kasumi Gake technique that allows her to dash fast enough to leave afterimages. Kunais can be used to distract opponents.
Mid-Fielders:
Ryu - Fairly balanced. His Shoryuken can block air balls or take out anyone in flight with the ball. His Hadoken can be used to break any structures or scaring off foes. Tatsumaki Senpukyaku can be used to bypass any slide kicks while dribbling the ball.
Ken - Same as Ryu, though probably leaning towards offense.
Chun-Li - Her moveset is kick based so I assume she would be great at least kicking the ball at a fair distance along with passing and stealing.
Elena - Same applies from Chun-Li's entry above.
Defenders:
E. Honda - Big and bulky, making him hard to tackle and damage. His Harai-Geri leg sweep allows him to easily steal the ball and trip foes up.
Zangief - Same as above minus the leg sweep but he can use his manly chest to block the shots.
Vega (Claw) - He's fast and does flips and rolls, his agility could allow him to steal the ball and get around enemy players. Depending on the arena, can wall jump or use a chainlink fence to get the drop onto unsuspecting foes to get an easy steal. Also might play dirty.
Goalie:
Dhalism - Teleportation and his excellent control over his stretchy body and limbs gives him plenty of options to block incoming shots and steal the ball with ease. Can use his illusionary fire breath or projectiles to block enemy pathways or scare them off. Also can read minds so he could read what the opposing players' strategy is or what they are about to do next and act accordingly.
Other:
Dan Hibiki - There for giving support to his team and giving them ideas and plans only to get shot down by his crew. Also regulated to water boy duties. Could act as a last minute substitution if the SF cast have nothing else to lose or just wanna see Dan humiliate himself.
Substitutions:
Juri Han - Can sub for forward, given her crazy kicks and her insanity and aggression.
Balrog (Boxer) - Can sub for goalie, since he literally cannot kick, making him useless for any other position. Uses his slugging punches or headbutt to swat the ball away and deflect any incoming shots.
Cammy - Can sub for forward. Nothing much to write home about other than her rushdown playstyle.
Blanka - Can sub for mid-field or defender. Can use his Rolling Attack and Vertical Roll to roll around the field for mobility and use his Lightning Mole to surprise players unexpectedly or bypass defense. Can also play defensively by using his Electric Thunder to shock anyone who attempts to tackle him or shock the ball to give a nasty shock to the player who was dribbling the ball.
Sakura - Can sub for mid-fielder or forward. Similar to Ryu above.
Guile - Can sub for defender or goalie. Crouches down and waits. Can Sonic Boom to knock off the ball or opposing projectiles and can Flash Kick to deflect airborne shots or take out any airborne foes with the ball.
Necalli - Can sub for forward. Aggression puts pressure onto the enemy team. Can cause small tremors to throw foes off and spew a slime puddle projectile to trip them up.
Seth - Can sub for defender or mid-field. Can copy his opponents' moveset to take advantage of and could fill in roles for his team with said copied moveset depending on which move he can copy. Also can perform his Tandem Engine move to generate a mini black hole so he can suck in the ball for an easy steal or to suck in enemy players to put them off position. Also teleportation for mobility and getaways.
