The one thing that annoys me more than anything is when people say;
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not annoyed because people say this, because their right. The SF2 cast are more recognisable and this is soley because Capcom bring these characters back out game, after game, after game all the time. If your favourite characters are from SF2, that's fine with me, everyone has their favourites. What bothers me is that Capcom clearly don't know shit on how to properly organise a roster and slowly but surely people such as myself are getting sick of it. Vega's reveal for today, for example, has been extremely mixed. Flicking through the reveal thread the comments are split at about 60% pleased at another World Warrior returning and about 40% pissed that another World Warrior was returning. Sooner or later the balances are going to switch and more and more people will start wanting more obscure characters back. I'm not just talking about 3rd Strike with this; Alpha, EX, Final Fight and Rival Schools all have decent characters that would fit well within the SF games; Maki, R Mika, Alex, Q, Sean, fuck, even Dean from Final Fight 3 would be hype for me. But yet we still get WW characters and we have another game with the same damn characters. Even Mortal Kombat didn't get this boring with their roster.
All this basically boils down to Capcom being scared shitless after the backlash and loss of interest with SF3. Now they're too goddamn scared to go outside the box they've been stuck in for nearly 30 years. Fuck. What happened to the risks? We don't need another New Generation risk. Even I'll admit that was stupid (although it did give us some great characters). I wish Capcom would add in some Rival Schools characters or throw in a couple of obscure Final Fight characters. THOSE are the risks Capcom should be taking, but they're just too scared in case they get another New Generation backlash so maybe I should just get ready to see the same WW characters until the series eventually crumbles, or maybe I should just accept it. I don't know.
If you read this far, thanks for reading my rambling. Just though I'd post some things off the top of my head. If I got anything wrong or mixed up I'm sorry but I can't be bothered to check anything right now.
