Juri. She's the only character I'm into; otherwise, I'll probably end up playing as Ryu.
Seeing as how concept art of Rufus was posted (And I think he looks better), I would've liked it more if capcom went with this concept they had of Juri.
I'd be ok with this.I'd like to see Simone from Cannon Spike.

After Ultra Street Fighter IV had essentially every returning character worth a damn I think it would be wise to go with a mostly new cast this time around, to help it stand out from IV. Not on III's absurd "Everyone but the shotos and Chun Li are out" but maybe not have the entire SFII cast back.
Agreed, she'd be an awesome Costume 2 for Linn!
The cast of Championship edition needs to be present, just like it was in SF4. (I'd be ok with removing Honda) so that leaves us with 4-5 slots that should obviously be filled with completely new characters.
Then one brand new Boss, because that's the tradition for mainline titles, bringing the total to 17, plus maybe Akuma, which would make 18.
There is really not much room for speculation here, except about which countries should the 4 new characters be from, and what styles of fighting should they employ.
I'm going to say a middle eastern country, a south american one, an african country and maybe the US to close.
I hope they don't play it safe. I'd go for 6-8 returning and 8-10 new.
yup, also r mikaAny list without alex is a fail list, imo.
It needs to happen
you mean that character fox owns?
Not gonna lie, I hope most of the sf2 characters are abandoned since sf4 was kinda the sf2 revival. SF5 is hopefully looking to the future aka Sf3. Im hoping for a ton from third strikes cast and only a few oldies.
you know I wonder...with all the fond memories people have of Third Strike....why was it such a failure?

I remember reading somewhere that she's in some weird ass limbo where Capcom actually does own the character, but can't really use her in anything outside of minute cameos.

The Dreamcast and PS2 versions came out after the Dreamcast, though, both of which are online capable systems while arcade machines typically aren't. I wouldn't be surprised if games like Counter-Strike and Q3 took over as multiplayer games and that's what killed the fighting fad for awhile. I can't help but wonder what would've happened if fighting games had online alongside the first FPS games that did. Shoot, I'd say the popularity of GGPO is a testament to that.Online play wasn't a big deal for fighters on the DC and PS2, lol. Especially when 3s came out.
3s came out in 97, a couple years before the DC.
Basically yes. This is my point of view as well.After Ultra Street Fighter IV had essentially every returning character worth a damn I think it would be wise to go with a mostly new cast this time around, to help it stand out from IV. Not on III's absurd "Everyone but the shotos and Chun Li are out" but maybe not have the entire SFII cast back.
I know I'm probably in the minority as far as GAF goes, but I really did not like the 3S roster. While I would occasionally dabble with most characters from SSF2T, I just cannot get into most of the characters in 3S. I did like Remy, Yun, and Yang though. And Urien was pretty cool even if I wasn't a fan of his playstyle. I did, however, love the parry system and wish that Capcom would bring it back.
Most of the characters I'd want to return are definitely from the 2nd and 4th installments of the game.
I guess only time will tell... doesn't 16 seem relatively low for a starting roster size for this entry in the series?
Aw, they can't reuse animations from SFIV to pad out the roster?Most fighting games that start off on a new engine have a low roster. Even when Street Fighter IV first hit arcades it only had 17 PLAYABLE characters. Seth and Gouken were NPCs.

The problem was that a lot of SF3's cast was a bunch of weird motherfuckers
This is a misconception; the game literally only has maybe two real "freaks"; I don't consider Oro a freak, Q's design is actually pretty neat and normal by comparison and Urien wearing a speedo isn't too out-of-place now that you've got characters like Juri with whatever you call those pants showing off her butt.
Just two...in a cast of many non-freaks.
Truth.As long as I have Blanka I'll be happy!
Uh....Necro? Twelve?
No they don't, SF4 was sort of a reboot/going back to the basics thing which is why they used all SF2 characters from the starts. That is not the case with this game and the original 8(or 12) characters are far from the best characters they have.The cast of Championship edition needs to be present, just like it was in SF4. (I'd be ok with removing Honda) so that leaves us with 4-5 slots that should obviously be filled with completely new characters.
