Yep, she's my favorite character in SF even though I don't like the series too much anymore.
Lol. Agreed.
Given that it's likely these characters are releasing simultaneously alongside Lucas, production of them would have started way before the ballot even began.
This. Anyone that knows that video games exist knows who these characters are.

Ouch! LOL
I have to go with Heihachi. Despite Kazuya being the original protagonist Heihachi is arguably more iconic in Tekken. Plus he's appeared in every Tekken game and I know it doesn't mean much but he was in Playstation All-stars and not Jin or Kazuya.

I wouldn't even put Mega Man on the Mt. Rushmore of video game characters, I'm just saying more people probably know who he is because he had his own series that was named after him, that literally went on for decades. Ryu, while popular among Street Fighter/fighting game fans, is a part of a large group of characters and one that you technically never even have to use, much less have people outside of fighting game fans expect to know who he is well enough to be the top 4 biggest characters in video game history.
When people say the "Mt. Rushmore of something" they're always referring the most well known/influential people in that group.
If I asked you to come up with a Mt. Rushmore of video game developers I'm sure you wouldn't come back with one of the guys being the guy who created Mighty Bomb Jack.

They're upset because they're ignorant of history and out of touch with reality.

mascot platformer, mascot platformer, mascot platformer, pac man.
Are there any other video games?
Damn...
Mt. Rushmore has a "history" thing going on it tho, so saying that pikachu should be in it is like saying they should put Bill Clinton on the actual Mt. Rushmore.

They were leaked roughly a week or two after the ballot went up.
So I think you've picked up on the conspiracy that most of us have already been aware of: Nintendo has time travel and are keeping it for themselves.
Why else would they have released the Wii U, a system basically designed for failure, without specific knowledge that it needs to be released to keep the world from falling apart? It's the only possible explanation.

An actual gaming Mt. Rushmore would be Minecraft Guy, the Call of Duty logo, Mario, and Gabe Newell.
You misunderstand the ballot. It runs until October. Lucas, Roy and Ryu (and likely some other characters, as well) were already planned, and were likely in development alongside Mewtwo.
In addition, the ballot is not a case of "whoever gets the most votes, wins." It's just a way to gauge interest. If the majority votes for one character and Sakurai thinks that character is shit, Sakurai's vote > all.
No, it'd be like saying Theodore Roosevelt should be on the actual Mt. Rushmoore. Work on Mount Rushmoore started less than two decades after he ended his presidency.
Gabe Newel would take too much space. He'd be gaming's Crazy Horse.

They gotta pretend every few years that they don't have the answers to everything.
Yamauchi didn't die, he just went back to the future.
Replace Pikachu with a Space Invader.
Someone make this please.
Teddy Roosevelt was president only 16 years before the completion of Mt. Rushmore. Bill Clinton was president 16 years ago today.
I don't get it either. If anything I would've expected Ryu to be in the next PSABR. But hey at least there's a huge demand for him in the game.
I wasn't expecting any Street Fighter games on any Nintendo platforms but at least Rayman has more appearances on nintendo's consoles

I mean, your snarky bullshit aside, you're missing my point. I didn't say Ryu didn't deserve to be in the game. I just said he wasn't one of the top four most recognizable characters in video game history.
I guess you got your snarky internet jab in though, so actually looking at what I was trying to say probably wasn't important to you in the first place.
Replace CoD logo with GTA logo.

Really makes you think. I wonder what a Mt. Rushmore of American presidents would look like!

Actually any generic game dude with a gun.

Ryu looks awesome, while Roy looks... yeah. Oh well! I take solace in the fact that the ballot doesn't end until October, since these two characters could potentially be released tomorrow. Fear not, my fellow K. Rool and Isaac fans.

It has Mega Man on it, so it can't be made by Capcom.

Swords are cool. It's when they all use the sword in the exact same way with the exact same move set that it gets boring. Oh wait, Roy's sword can sometimes sorta be on fire or explode during an attack. Completely different character.

It's the dumb "Snake doesn't deserve to be in Smash" argument from pre-Brawl
Solidus Snake, Michael Wilson, Mike Haggar, and the President from Saints Row IV.
