I agree. I couldn't care less about the other new characters from that series as they really aren't that interesting (except for Gouken, though he's another shoto).
Like I said in another thread, if Capcom's going to bring in new characters, they need to make fighters from places that they haven't tried from yet, such as Egypt, Canada, & Australia. It's great that we got a fighter from Turkey, & a fighter from South Korea, but they need to expand more on that front. Even Namco had done that with Tekken as of lately.
Counting the characters from SF 1 to SF IV (excluding the EX series because it isn't canon), we already have
14 characters from USA (Alex, Crimson Viper, Cody, Guile, Guy, Joe, Ken, M. Bison/Balrog (Boxer), Mike, Nash/Charlie, Poison, Rolento, Rufus, & Sodom),
13 from Japan (E. Honda, Geki, Gouken, Gouki/Akuma, Ibuki, Karin, Maki, Makoto, Oro, R. Mika, Retsu, Ryu, & Sakura),
4 from England (Birdie, Cammy, Dudley, & Eagle),
4 from Hong Kong (Dan, Fei Long, Yang, & Yun),
3 from Germany (Hugo, Juli, & Juni),
3 from China (Chun-Li, Gen, & Lee),
2 from France (Abel, & Remy),
2 from Thailand (Adon, & Sagat),
2 from Mexico (El Fuerte, & T. Hawk),
2 from Russia (Necro, & Zangief),
2 from Brazil (Blanka, & Sean),
1 from Jamaica (Dee Jay),
1 from India (Dhalsim),
1 from Kenya (Elena),
1 from Turkey (Hakan),
1 from South Korea (Juri),
1 from Spain (Balrog/Vega (Claw)), &
1 from Italy (Rose).
