I really don't understand why people want even half the SF roster but I don't feel particularly compelled to question it randomly on forums, perhaps due to understanding that everyone has different tastes.
What makes you think any character outside of Ryu or Ken will see much widespread usage? Does that mean we should just have a 2 character roster to avoid 'wasting slots'?
Very true. Doesn't matter how many people want a character, if they're implemented badly then the number of people die-hard enough to play them will never be huge :3
Rog is definitely in need of a new hairstyle.Capcom Cody pls
And make this his main outfit
Make his summer alt his main costume, make his hair gray.
Alternative go full on alt 2, where he has studded boxing gloves and a big ass B chain with dreads

I want Cody since he's the only fighter I actually learned how to use competently. I expect him to be dlc though and not in the initial roster.
If a 2 player roster guarantees Mika and Karin not coming back yea ill do it, we need a gimmicky fighter againI really don't understand why people want even half the SF roster but I don't feel particularly compelled to question it randomly on forums, perhaps due to understanding that everyone has different tastes.

For me personally, I really like Karin's move set. The abuse of the hired help is just a bonus.

Y'know, I thought my dislike for King K Rool was bad but you've clearly got me beat. I wouldn't sacrifice the entire roster of a fighting game just to keep him out
It's hatred of Mika more, karin is whatever.Y'know, I thought my dislike for King K Rool was bad but you've clearly got me beat. I wouldn't sacrifice the entire roster of a fighting game just to keep him out

If they both make the roster I'm gonna try to learn both of 'em, myself.
Lose the handcuffs and I'm down with that.
They want to change shit up anyway right?
Bobby? I never thought of you as a Street Fighter fan.
At times he wanders into threads to be subversive.

Like who? I've heard stuff that makes me fairly convinced Mika's in the game but not even I'm 'expecting' her to be in the actual launch roster. It'd be nice for me if she is, but she could easily be DLC because we haven't the foggiest what the timescale for that stuff is yet outside of 'not day 1' which could just as easily mean 'day 2 dlc'

When I first got here I almost exclusively posted in the tournament threads as they went up (CEO, EVO, Final Round, etc.)
Don't get me wrong, I suck at Street Fighter still (after 20+ years of playing it) but my two favorite games of all time are Street Fighter II and Ms. Pac-Man.
My two main arcade games when I was a kid were Marvel 2 & Third Strike, so yeah.
Marvel 1 was my first arcade game.

I'm not sure how R. Mika plays, but if she's a grappler type, can we please have her instead of Zangief/Hugo/T.Hawk/Haggar/etc.?

Also, I was thinking about this -- has there ever been a SF character with a Tekken Kazama/Paul type reversal/"catch"? I know Dudley has the move that puts him in the "counter attack state", but I never felt like those moves were quite the same...
I'd love to see a character with a v-skill type ability of reversal throws ala Jin/Jun/Paul... possible instant main for me. I always wanted to replicate those days I spent as a teenager pissing my friends off by just standing there, blocking and waiting for the mid/highs, then doing the reversal and using it to start a wake-up game offense...

It's funny how this "character usage" argument seems to only comes up when it's female characters being discussed.
Before Elena got into SFxT and SF4, it was the usual: "The people asking for Elena are pervs only interested in fanservice. I bet no one will use her."
Lol.
Now, the exact same argument is being used againt Mika, Karin, and even Ingrid.
Meanwhile, characters like Gen, Guy, and Dhalsim fail that "1 in 50 matches" criterion quite often...yet, no one ever says "if Dhalsim doesn't get used in 1 in 50 matches, I'll consider him a waste of a slot."
No one ever demands to know "why do you want Guy in the game?" No one asks "why do you want Eagle in the game?" Why do you want "Balrog in the game"? People just accept that you like those characters, and let it go.
But, ask for a female character...and suddenly you have to justify it, or assure people that the character will be frequently used. Cuz...boobs.
Fei Long and Cammy have ultras that are attack reversals.
Ok....because I mentioned that in my paragraph or hinted to that at all....I just was stating what I thought. I could give a shit if it's a male or female. If they make a female who plays like Gouken then you better believe I will play as her the most.
R. Mika has a terrible design and would need changed, and I just think Karin has a boring move set. just my opinion. Nothing to do with them being female rather than male.
Gouken has a counter. Can counter low or medium/high. EX version will counter either. It's great. He is great. Under used in my opinion.
No give him more tatoo's Sleve one of them arms.
its one of the reasons why I like this outfit
Whosoever holds this pipe, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Haggar.
Capcom Cody pls
And make this his main outfit
Lose the tats and take off his cuffs this time allowing Cody to really bring out the street fighting
No need to continue the fallen hero story. Let Cody get back to it!

I think this theory is a solid one, and here are my character guesses based on that.
PAX - Urien or Karin
TGS - Juri
BGS - Laura (newcomer)
PGS - oh shit... French SF4 veteran... Abel!?
PSE - Rachid (newcomer)
Which would leave us with a newcomer (in this scenario Zen, who is maybe the final boss?) and a non-SF4 veteran.
I feel like either TGS or PSE, if not both events, will have two reveals. I'd bank most on PSE having both a newcomer and a highly requested non-SF4 veteran, leaving the final boss newcomer to be revealed right before the game comes out next year.
Capcom has sort of been wrecking most theories lately though, so I'm sure this will look like garbage in a month or less.

Replace Juri with Karin/any female, and add Alex to the end and I'd 100% support this roster.

Saying things like any female is why I can't take this threads seriously

Why? I like pretty much every female SF character besides Juri, so I'd be happy to see them included. The female to male ratio is too low currently, so I'd like to see more female representation in general.
If you want me to be specific, I'd like to see Rose and Poison most of all, but I don't expect either of them right off the bat. I could give my personal rankings for the entire female roster if that would suit you better. We've got nothing but time here.
Alex hails from Brooklyn, New York.
Well, they can't reveal him at Next Level now.
Putting personal tastes purely aside, every now & then I contemplate asking why Q is so oft-requested, given how "viable" he was in his only appearance. But then I just remember how any given character fares in one SF doesn't necessarily indicate how good they'll be in a different one. Sean went from hero to zero between 2I & 3S (surely it was partially correlated, but still).

Just how strong of a fighter is Cody(story wise)? He keeps his cuffs on in a similar manner to Oro only using one arm as to keep from completely obliterating opponents right? Has there ever been any indication as to what his level is? If Oro pulls his second arm out, a damned Spirit Bomb follows. What happens if Cody breaks the shackles?
Could make for a cool V-Trigger, though I guess it wouldn't make sense for the cuffs to be back on the following round. Not that I care about that.

He knocks you the hell out.
Also I would imagine all his blows would have wind properties to them.

According to Guy in 4, he's gotten so lazy that Guy forgot his movements,and their very brief scuffle ended in in them making up. Other than that, he hasn't really done much but FF stuff.

iirc, he fought Ryu and knocked him out in one hit. So I'd say pretty strong.
And I think Mika is amazing. Not really difficult to understand that people have different opinions, is it?
It's suggested that Cody is stronger than he would care to show, given that voluntarily keeps his handcuffs on to give himself a challenge. Aside from that, there's no idea how strong Cody truly is.
Doesn't he have a Boston accent as well?
Well in all fairness, I don't think Ryu and Cody fought each other storywise (I don't think the Udon issue counts as canon seeing as it's not directly referenced in any shape or form).
And well, Ryu has only probably lost to Sagat, Ken, Bison and Oro. Two are his direct rivals, one is a would be Dictator with some weird ass powers and the last is a ancient old hermit who fights with only one arm just so he doesn't kill any opponent. I think Ryu's reputation is fine at the moment.
If they put her in I hope they change her story. I didn't play the PSP version of Alpha 3 but it sounds like the way they implemented her there was ridiculous. Aside from that I'm fine if they include her.
I think they are one in the same but Capcom doesn't want to call him Mike outside Japan because they are largely copying Mike Tyson's likeness. I'm assuming this because his name is Mike Bison in Japan and when it's asked they usually give a non-answer.
You could literally say the same thing about any character.
Honestly were the majority of you guys who think these characters are unpopular even playing these games when Alpha 3 came out?
I didn't see Mika all that much but Karin was a fairly common pick in the arcades back in those days.
