I was royally pissed that neither R.Mika or Elena made it into SSF4. I would have gladly chosen Mika's brand of over-the-top brawling to some sun-burned, oiled-up Turk any old day of the week. Why must Capcom leave so many of their vibrant but lesser-spotted characters by the wayside, in favor of playing it safe by repackaging the ones that have appeared in just about every SF and Capcom crossover ever made? Sure, they may be popular, but personally I'd rather they deviated from the tried and tested (but more than a little stale) formula once in a while. Thank the powers-that-be that Dudley made it in there at the very least. Anyway, better luck next time around, eh girls?

I agree (I'd have picked Elena for sure and maybe Maki, cause they both are charismatic design-wise... I never played SFIII so dunno if Elena is a balanced character.)

Hopefully, Capcom will stick to SSFIV as being the ultimate SFIV version. And maybe, just maybe, some characters could be added through DLCs more easily than with SFIV, as now they basically made a 36 characters power balance, so 1 or 2 more characters thru DLCs in a year or so, could be easier to implement without drastically shifting the balance of powers.

My 2 cents 'onri' :)

I wanted karin and ingrid in....

R mika would have been fun. Heck they all would have been

There will probably be a Turbo IV or a CE edition...It's the damn 90s again

You all /do/ know they've said they may add future characters via DLC, right? Calm down, peeps.

Also... why is Ingrid there, and not Karin? BLASPHEMY!

Elena, R Mika and Ingrid in SSFIV ?

...one can dream.

Maki would have been great.

Do you realize that you just **** about how Capcom isn't keeping it the same because they introduced a new character, right?

I was actually trying to say that Capcom didn't really need to introduce a brand new wrestling character to SSF4 when they already had Mika in reserve.

Every character has their fans, so someone would complain no matter who they added.
Hopefully we will get these four and Karin as DLC.

Well what do you know, all the characters that everyone is bitching about just so happen to be females. Gosh, I guess some people just can't help but think with their dicks huh?

I sincerely hope and pray that Mika, Elena or Karin is one of the two new characters they're adding later this year.

It might be six: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/aug/10/rumor-ssf4-arcade-will-have-6-new-characters/

WIN.

If it's worth anything, Elena's SFxT DLC and Kuma has an R.Mika costume.

Harada wants Karin in TxSF, too.
