Personally, I'd rather Capcom spend most of their time and money on things that help the competitive aspect of the game since that's what keeps the game alive for long after most other games have lost their luster. For example, Alpha 3 was kept alive not by World Tour mode, but by the fact that it was played in tournaments. And those who were keeping Alpha 3 alive were those who took time to learn V-ism and crouch cancel infinites.

I'm a total scrub but didn't V-ism inadvertantly kill Alpha 3's popularity as well?  It seems that the game is now pretty much a question of who builds meter and lands their CC first.  I'm not a fan of the hit and run style of gameplay that custom combos promote.  The problem seems to be that top players are usually quite adept at finding flaws in custom combo systems that developers aren't initially aware of often breaking the game completely.  Look how dominant Yun is in SFIII simply because of genei jin.

If World Tour Mode were implemented, you could potentiate your style of gameplay, there are many gamers who using the same char their fight style it's different, also WTM it's fun and could add something different to the typical game modes in a fight game.

The really hard decision is if you add on line or not, and if you do online how make it fair for everybody. Maybe if were online capcom could add rankins to specifics stats of upgrade, this way make sure you fight opponents to your same level, also can add the option to fight against chars with more ranking that your char and if you beat a char superior in ranking than yours you win more points to upgraade that normal matches or WTM gameplay.

This is a good idea I personally liked fighting my friends that had higher level characters than me and most of the time I lower my handicap for more challenge it just allows you to see who the best player is pure and simple. It most likely wont happen this time around but that doesnt meant it wouldnt/shouldnt be included in the future. I know many people that loved world tour mode simply because it was something else to do it put a spin on regular fights and added challenge. Also SFA3 reigned supreme for tournament play for years because at the time it was the newest street fighter game the same reason why third strike started getting played at EVO and street fighter 4 is being played at SBO.

Sorry my reply is going to be short.

Combining world tour mode with online play would be a fun experience.  Since you could customize your own character, you can make it to where they are more like a berserker or more like a very defensive character.  Having a high strength level against a high defense level would be somewhat fair.  Being able to customize your stats for your playable character would be awesome.  On the flip side if they add a make a character function they could put in fighting styles for custom characters.  Since everyone wants a character that can use krav maga or savate or any other fighting style, character customization could make up for that.  Though fans may not like the concept that only custom characters can have these special fighting styles for they would want them to be applied to actual characters.  The aspects of fighting style could raise the bar for competitive game play.

First thing that's gonna happen when with that is that it's going to be banned from major tournaments out of the box. Same way Soul Cal IV in EVO only had the built in characters and default weapons. 

But really, the major arguments against this style of creation have already been presented in a previous thread

I was just playing a few different fighting games namely Garou mark of wolves and Marvel super heroes and I thought of something that Id like to see in SSFIV in the beginning of a round before announcer says fight allow for a little movement of characters no dashing to allow for some setup and pressure tactics. Also I think it would be a nice touch if rounds were interwoven so in the first round when your vitality gauge drops all the way you simply fall where you stand kneeling to the ground then you get up and the next round starts I think this would help matches flow faster Im kinda impatient.

The second part is risky since if the winner of the first match is in an advantageous position, then the loser has less of a chance to recover.

One more thing there should be a technique to cancel specials without having to use up your power meter something like you do the motions for a special and then press lp+lk which stops the action midway allowing you to use another special super or ultra right after Garou utilizes something like this. I think that would be nice just in case you want to save your power for more supers or EX specials instead of canceling. A simple counter system wouldnt hurt gameplay either like SFA3 forward HP+HK after block. They could make it cost a few bars on the super gauge or whatever but it a nice tactic that works really good in alpha.

The game is already heavily focused towards defense, this'll just make it worse since turtles now have more weapons in their arsenal.

When your knocked to the ground you should have a few options like other fighting games like a roll recover also I was playing Waku Waku 7 for Neo Geo and in that game when your opponent is knocked down and your close enough you can perform a pounce attack on them where you jump up and quickly drop on them  but if they move out of the way it leaves you open to attack. If not something like that I think you should at least be able to deliver a strike or two to a downed opponent just a quick crouching LK or MK. The ability to do a quick sidestep would be alternative to blocking or jumping over fireballs as well as upping the anti in close quarter combat I saw this in CVS 2.

Focus to Dash is fine in terms of getting past fireballs as while it does protect you from fireballs, it still doesn't totally negate the projectiles ability to act as a setup. In other words, there's still some risk involved in that you can't just sit back all day and negate fireballs since if you keep dashing back you'll still die from white damage or if you dash forward, you can make yourself vulnerable to attack.
