well the game is out, i still have not bought it cause right now i am broke and need some way to get money, but i should get it soon.. that being said Street Fighter IV def. looks like an Amazing game, and should be played by many.. Street Fighter 2 was one of the first games i have ever played.. so hopefully this will be a great blast from the past with enough to make it feel fresh (which is aparently the case)

So we know all the different characters that Can be playable in the game, and overall i think they made the right choices putting the best characters in the game. However like any Fighting game not EVERYONE will be 100% content. (i can here the T-Hawk chants now lol) but anyways, here is a list of what i think were the best character not in Street Fighter IV that could have been, or might be (idk if any downloadable characters will be out?) but if they were that be even better.. so ya these are not in any real order so 1 does not mean best or whatever.. so lets go!

1.

Dee Jay

Homeland- Jamaica

Debut: Street Fighter 2

Why he should be in SF IV- Well most of the Street Fighter 2 cast is in Street Fighter IV however Dee Jay is actually not in the game he was a great character and he kick boxing technique was very unique, also his trademark smile was one of his selling points.. its crazy that he is not in SF IV. only he and T-Hawk are not in the game.. but i am not sure how many people actually LIKED T-hawk..

2.

Guy

Homeland- USA

Debut- Final Fight (but Alpha for SF series)

Why- Guy is one of the favorites in the Final Fight Series, along with that he was a fan favorite in Street Fighter Alpha (i played as him a lot) His ninja fighting ****was greatly welcomed to the series.. i know why he would not be in Street Fighter IV, but it still would have been neat to see him..

3.

Charlie

Homeland- USA

Debut- Street Fighter Alpha (but mentioned in SF 2)

Why- Gulie is one of the trademark characters in the series.. he is to Gulie as Ken is to Ryu.. they are very similar, but different to make them not seem like clones.. Charlie was of my favorite characters in games like Alpha and Marvel VS Capcom.. its very weird that he is not in the game... although Gulie does have a Charlie outfit that can be bought.. so thats cool.. but having Charlie in the game would have been even better

4.

Alex

Homeland- USA

Debut- Street Fighter III

Why- Well if you did not know this well now you know that there is NO character who debuted in Street Fighter 3 who is in Street Fighter IV.. which to some is a good thing.. but there was some great characters who were in the game.. Prime Example was Alex.. his personality (NY) and fighting ****(mixed Wrestling) will be missed.. If i had to pick one character from Street Fighter III to be in IV it would be Alex.. it stinks..

5.

Ibuki

Homeland- Japan

Debut- SF III

Why- Ibuki was one of my favorite Female characters in the series, but we all know no SF 3 characters are in the game.. so that means Ibuki is not. Its a shame since i really like her look and how she plays. its similar to other characters.. but with her own flare.. its disapointing not seeing her in the game..

6.

Hugo

Homeland- Germany

Debut- SF III

Why- Talk about Big Boys.. you thought that Zangief was big.. well this guy towers over him.. he was the definition of BIG characters.. he was slow stupid.. but he was strong.. he also i believe is the only character to come from Germany.. so that i guess is a lost.. he was not a personal favorite.. but i repected him..

7.

Sean

Homeland- Brazil

Debut- Street Fighter III

Why- Well Ken is his master and its another character that is very similar to Ryu, Ken, and Dan's fighting technique.. but with his own flare.. he is another character i like.. Hopefully he will make an apperance somewhere down the line.. ( similar to the one in M vs C 2) or as playable character

8.

Birdie

Homeland-England

Debut: Street Fighter

Why- No matter what your personal thoughts of Birdie is you know that he is someone who has a very unique look.. this British Punk fighter is a very interesting character.. although he looks scary to me, i would not have mined him being the game..

9.

Pullum

Homeland-India

Debut-Street Fighter EX

Why- I was not a fan of the EX series.. however i did think that Pullum was very unique.. if there was one character from that series i would pick it would be her.. plus she looks like that person from power stone

10.

T-Hawk

Homeland-Mexico

Debut-Street Fighter 2

Why-Well.. umm as much as i think T-Hawk was the worse Street Fighter 2 characters.. that is not really saying much since all the characters were great if you ask me.. T-Hawk was a pretty kick ass native American, and seeing his intesting fighting technique would be cool.. Street Fighter 2 was so great they should have just put every character from the game in IV

Well.. thats it.. 10 characters they should add.. others that are also in consideration would be

Dudley (SF III)

Ying & Yang (SF III)

Cody (Alpha III)

Necro (SF III)
