I agree with Nate on the "every update should be 10 characters, 2 new, 8 returning" thing.

But with one caveat.  I'm willing to except any SF1 character that's never been playable before in place of a "new" character, because for all intents and purposes, they are new.  The designers have to build their moveset from scratch.  They probably
will have to redesign the character's appearance also.  And the majoriy of SF players probably won't even know who they are in the first place since most of them never played SF1.

So if HyperSF4 turned out to be "1 new character, 8 returning, and Retsu" I'd be just fine with that.


On an unrelated note, everyone knows Eagle and Dudley are the strongest street fighters.  Because suspenders on an Englishman is like gold hair on a Saiyan.

Dude, all you're giving me are opinions. Well, at least you're done with your faulty logic about sports and school.

Yet, you still listen only to yourself and came out with some weird opinions. I disagree for the most part.

Edge? I like him... he would be my 7th choice. But just since his appearance is a blatant copy of Benimaru Nikaido's, which is himself, visually, a blatant copy of Guile (and all of them are blatant copies of JoJo Bizarre Adventure's Jean Pierre Polnareff and Rudolf Von Stroheim), I didn't put him above Kyosuke and Hayato.

Gan? He's ****. It's RS' token big guy, and that's his only feature. He looks cartoonish, and he's a big gorilla in a school uniform. No!

Zaki? Another teenage thug. Her story and personality don't add much. She's very similar to Akira, just a less interesting version of her. Her weapon of use is the only thing that can make her a little interesting in terms of gameplay, it's the only thing that would save her from the scrappy heap. Overall... decent, but empty. I still prefer my 6 choices. And Edge. She would be my 8th choice.

Ran? Are you kidding me? No! Dude, you have a gift for not listening. That's exactly what the Street Fighter fans strongly dont' want about Rival Schools! Little fragile schoolgirls, who are not fighters whatsoever, nor athletes, and use unlikely objects to fight (a schoolbag, a violin, a camera...). She doesn't make sense outside of the schoolyard at all! Still, I would like to see her in SSFIV: as a cameo, in Dan's stage.

Kurow... well, he is definitely a fighter. But... he would be perfect? Are you serious? Now I'm telling you... just look at him! Totally the opposite of the SF style! Like the other two RS bosses, he's an "anime enemy". Too goofy, too weird, not serious enough. Even Seth (and I hate Seth's concept with all my heart) is a much more fitting character than Kurow is. No!

Kyosuke. Jeez, you really never listen. I said I do like Kyosuke's outfit. It just wouldn't make sense for him to carry it over after school. Please don't tell me you're so strongly attached to that school uniform that you can't stand the idea of having it moved to second outfit. I know some Sakura fans are like that, but daayumn! By the way, I can totally see Kyosuke wearing white slacks, a white polo and some (classy) jewelry. And glasses.

You seem to think that I'm not listening, but infact you are at least not listening an equel amount to me. You say Ran would be wierd because of her camera and having no reason for being in the fighting tornament, I agree, I don't think the Gorin High Students would be better. I left your opinion alone because I can't force you to change your opinion. I mearly was giving an argument as to who could be better. In fact I agree that Ran, Gan, and Zaki would not be good additions to street fighter. But I believe they'd be better additions than any of the Gorin High students, well except perhaps Shoma because of his personality. Edge's design is a rip of Benimaru, I know that. And we deffinately don't need that, but I think he also would be better than Shoma or any Gorin High student.

Kurow would be perfect both story, personality, and gameplay. I'll agree that he is an anime enemy and I'll agree that his style is outlandish. But can I ask "What exactly is Street Fighter style?" SF1 character designs are radicaly different from SF2. And SF2 is different from SF3. And SFA is basically revamping SF1 and making everything more ANIME like that and adding Final Fight characters. (If you don't think adding a School Girl isn't anime like then you need to watch some anime) You're biggest problem is his design. But what about other Street Fighter characters. Necro, Rose, or Blanka also don't look like they fit, but they have been in the series enough that we don't notice it. You're looking at it from the future perspective of a hardcore fan. It's not as weird as say Faust from Guilty Gear. The casual gamer may not pick up this game very true, but at the same time a casual gamer may not have picked up the original either. The truth is he could be great addition, he may have a different design but his design could be changed, the same as you say Kyosuke's should. And Kyosuke does have another suit that is not in class.  I think if any of the characters would be added it would be Kyosuke or Kurow. And do you think that Changing his deisgn from school uniform to white slacks and a white jacket would really change much? He looks fine in that. I don't understand your problem with the school unifom. But I don't really care that much as long as he is in white and has a jacket, I enjoy the character not neccesarily the design.

Here's the situation as I understand it.

Capcom pretty much has the 10 characters they WANT to be in SSF4.  At this point, they've already decided on them and started work on them.

The issue becomes, time.  They WANTED T. Hawk and Dee Jay in SF4.  But they ran out of time.

The situation is the same here.  They WANT T.Hawk. Dee Jay, Juri, Hakan, Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Guy, Cody and Adon in SSF4, but they may run out of time and not be able to get in all 10.  They might only get in 8, maybe even less.

So at this point, arguing for different characters that the 10 on the list is a waste of your own time.  There's only 2 arguments you can really make at this point that matter.

1.  Who gets priority if they can't finish all the characters in time.  Basically, who gets dropped first if they can't finish all 10.

2.  Who you want in the NEXT update.  Who do you want in Hyper SF4.

I disagree. I really prefer the new charcaters who could have more personality, and the only SF1 characters that look like they could be great additions are Geki and Retsu.

Oh really?  Well thanks for telling me then. lol.
