Street Fighter 4!

Heaven forbid Capcom introduce new characters in a fighting game...

I'm all for new characters, if their designs are appealing. This is the one of the reasons I like 3S. It featured a practically entirely new cast of characters and just about all of them I found to be relatively interesting.

All of the new challengers in IV, however, look ridiculous. I have no idea what Capcom was thinking when they were designing Rufus. A fat American? The guys at Namco did a much better job with Bob in T6. El Fuerte? El Blaze of VF5 would like to have a word with him. Abel's physical design has nothing to it at all and his bio just makes him look even more bland. C. Viper is the only one of the 4 that I'm remotely attracted to design wise, but she can lose those silly glasses. It's as if Capcom half assed the design of the new characters so that the original cast of SF2 get most of the attention.

Keep in mind, I'm only talking about the characters and their physical designs, not gameplay designs.
 
Yeah ok

Fat Guy and Wacky Luchadore out of place in game with crazy green monster, sumo wrestler with flying headbutt as signature move and a rubber hindu as original characters

The only new character that I think doesn't mesh well with the roster at all is C.Viper

but for the most part I think SF4 has the best roster of any Street Fighter game ever.

There's something there for everyone and the gameplay seems to cater to the interests of both ST and 3rd strike players(Whom, like the games, are like night and day)

So all and all I'm really really excited for this game
