Put in some Rival Schools characters (not just Batsu) and then you have my heart Capcom!

Outside the SF2 cast, I want Alex from SF3 (and the whole SF3 cast from Ultra), R. Mika from Alpha 3 (I don't care if Ono supposedly hates her), Eagle from SF1/CvS2, and Viper and Juri from SF4.
I'm also not completely opposed to bringing back Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Jam/Alpha 3, but only because I enjoy her gameplay.

And now I'm sad because we all know Hakan is never making it out of SFIV.
And because you left out Retsu and Geki.

Chunners is already in so no worries there. I need Juri and Poison though.
Karin would be a great addition too but I've been saying that since SFA3.

I don't mind if they bring back some characters from previous sf games, but I want new characters.
I'd be ok with that too.
He better be in.

I want nothing more than for Skullomania to be in this game, but I don't Capcpom even has the rights to those characters.

There's only two things I really want:
-Don't go all MUGEN on the cast. SFIV has too many characters which means too many match-up possibilities and in inevitability some of those match ups just aren't very exciting b/c a disadvantaged character has to stick to one strategy and one strategy only to win.
-Find a way to get the Arika char designers from the EX games on board. Diago is pretty good but only C. Viper and Juri stuck out from the new designs and I don't see Juri being too timeless a design. The char designers from III, EX, and Alpha (whom I'm guessing had some of the same designers as III) really knew their stuff. Get one of them to partner up w/ Diago and let it rip.
If they can do that I don't care who they throw in as long as it's some ridiculous crap like Oni Akuma or Evil Ken or w/e, leave that for MUGEN. Bring the cast a bit more back down-to-Earth, keep the count intimate, and surprise me with lots of new innovative and SF-feeling character designs.

I'd love to see the characters aged up to 2015*, but I doubt those Ryu and Chun models are just placeholders. Capcom's going to play it safe with the roster and stick to barely-aged SF2 era characters as the core after the disaster that was the SF3 series and the success that was SF4.
I think fans would accept an aged Ryu who more in control of himself (like Gouken). Mel Masters could take his father's place and Chun could have her own disciple (one of the kids she adopts/teaches in the SF3 story). Bison could very well still be around, in a different body (that of a doll?) if necessary. That way the classic style could largely be preserved while also freshening it up.

He'll be replaced by Ono in a Blanka costume.
Not even named Blanka, just Ono.

I hope Capcom embraces its reputation of disappointing fans by creating a fresh, divisive entry where the only returning characters are Ryu and Chun-Li.
Don't listen to the fans, Capcom. We don't know what's good for us.

Bunch of new characters would interest me.
Maybe.
Maybe.
it's early but it looks a lot like 4, and with that I'm expecting a ton of the returning characters from 2. hope to be wrong though.

Lowest of keys, I hope they do something akin MKX with the different forms
Imagine having a choice of:
SF2 style Ryu - cancelable sweep, red fireball w/ knockdown, more turtle based
SF3 style Ryu - Jouden special, parry ability, the universal overhead, ex attacks
SF4 style Ryu - Stronger combos/More link based, ex attacks etc
SF Alpha Ryu - Alpha counters, air blocking, chains and all that.
Evil Ryu?
Change up their looks to go with the way they played too.
Don't make them separate characters either.
FOH GEMS FOH.

Capcom gotta pay me for all this geniusness.

I feel like we're going to get a lot of new and 3S characters, but I doubt we'll get Q. We'll probably get all of the world warriors too.

Sakura and Karin.
I think if there is a 3rd strike character to get who isn't named alex, we already got them already.
Also while I'm confident her and Juri will be back, I would like to reiterate
Bring mama back

Rufus is my favourite character design and I'd be sad to see him go but I'd prefer >50% new characters.
Dan can come back, though.

If it has Q then by default this has a chance to top 3 for me.
