Street Fighter IV other characters

[oneheart]

I love Street Fighter IV. I'm a HUGE fan of the series and I think this was a very respectable and innovative fourth instalment. I have heard complaints about it, the two main ones being "The art is cheesy" and more commonly "WHAT!?!? My favorite character isn't in this one!!!" (espicially laughable when I hear people say their favorite was someone like Charlie Nash...who is dead.)

So I was wondering if you guys think or have heard anything about other characters. And if they will make a franchise appearance again soon do you think it will be through downloadable content?

I know downloadable content is all the rage now, but I kind of hope that isn't how they do it. I prefer it old school now that I'm old enough to just go buy the games. I'd really like to see a "Street Fighter IV Super Omega Alpha Turbo Galatic Ultra Mega Delux Tournament Tag Dynamo slap-yer-grandma-silly-cause-santa-is-coming-to-town hyper edition"

And if they do, what characters do you see making a new apperance? My favorites were already included; Ken, Dhalsim, and espicially Sakura...I'm a legend online with Sakura now. I would like to see Makato (sp?) from Street Fighter III.

I have read a bit on it, and I know that they had a few of the originals. I always liked the Ken/Ryu rivalry, and Guile is a staple I think, as well.

Most of the characters from II are present as well as some of the Alpha characters (Dan, Sakura, Rose, etc.).

Ryu, Ken, and Guile are all present. I prefer to think of Ryu and Ken as a friendship rather than a rivalary, but that is because me and my roommate both train at the same karate school and he has short dark hair and I have long blonde hair so the comparison is made often. lol.

Well sure! Who said a rivalry can't be friendly?

They won't remove Ryu, Ken, or Guile. I've heard its a great game though. Fei Long in the other versions was a straight rip off of Bruce Lee.

But a code for Evil Ryu, and I always liked Akuma. Thought he was a worthy adversary for both Ken, and Ryu.

There's been talk of Deejay and T-Hawk as DLC, but i kind of doubt it'll happen. The game is pretty well rounded as it is, and once you unlock all the characters (took me a while, but I did it), you have a lot of unique characters. There is also a lot of balance in this game, which is good.

A lot of those characters are supposed to be dead.

M. Bison, Vega, Gouken, Gen, Balrog and Rose

I would have gotten really mad if they put Charlie and Adon in there too.

[isshinryu5toforever]

They at least kind of attempt to explain Bison's rebirth, and they do explain that Gouken was basically comatose for a long long time. As far as the others, well there's never been a decisive lore for the Street Fighter universe anyways haha.

I would LOVE it if they did that. I used to own house with Dee Jay.
