! Looks like Makoto and Q are a lock for Season 4
I'm very confused as to why Arika characters (who just so happened to be in a Street Fighter titled game) are in a Capcom poll. On the other hand, I'm surprised that people even remember the likes of Geki, Retsu, Lee, and Joe from SF1. Usually, it's Sagat and Adon and they're more remembered for being in SF2 or Alpha respectively, and I'm pretty sure people remember Eagle more for being in Capcom vs SNK 2 and Alpha 3 MAX (the PSP port) than in the first game.
So… Shadowgeist, Sharon, and Area for Fighting EX Layer?

Retsu is surprisingly popular. He was even featured in the trailer for Decapre in Ultra SFIV.
What is really the reason for Sakura's popularity outside of being a total Fighting Game Nerd/Otaku?
@S.C.:

I totally missed that trailer then. Probably because that was when I decided to let go of SF4. But hey, ya learn something new every day.
Since we're on the topic of SF1, here's what I would do to spice up the old fogies if they were ever brought back:
Lee: Since his artbook depiction has him like a Drunken Fist master, I'd go with that.
Joe: As an arrogant jackoff who thinks he's the biggest fighting star around when he's obviously not.
Mike: Revamp him into a MMA fighter.
Retsu: Keep the idea of the angry monk.
Geki: Since the original apparently died, make his successor into a hot-blooded Naruto expy.
There, they can't be worse then someone like Rufus now. :P

Well since these character polls usually turn into "Who we want in the current version of Street Fighter" I take it people like her style of Shoto

Shipping fuel.

Basically Rufus without the fat, weird contempt towards Ken, and hopefully with the stupidly long victory quotes.

Thought people moved to shitting on Abigail
anyone see the honest trailer for this game?

Sorta. I was thinking more like Dan, but instead of being the strongest, being the coolest or something. Like lampooning how generic he was.

It seems people like his car-obsessed muscle-headed persona on YouTube. The initial backlash was when he was revealed, a lot of cool stuff from other fighters were being shown, so he came off a little lackluster.
Lee, Retsu, and Geki were featured notably in some comics too
the updated profile for Joe is basically what you described though, though they've reinvented Mike as a Good Balrog of sorts
instead of just being Rough Boxer he's a reformed gang member who started boxing in prison (and now he teaches it to kids and his motivation for fighting in SF1 is to raise money for his little sister's surgery)
Send me my god-damn check, Capcom. :ninja:

It's interesting to note G's story mode outfit looks very similar to Q.
i like that cody's haggar pants are sagging cuz he's too small for his proper mayor uniform
Blanka is coming on February 20nd.

After looking for this Mike guy on google image and a whole minute of failing to see any resemblance to Balrog, I thought "he has nothing to do with Balrog. He looks like the boxer g… OH YEAH!"
Even though all my contact with SF is the through localized version, I can still only think of the masked spanish guy when I read Balrog (an unconscious testament to how perfectly I think the name fits him).
Falke's theme just got added to the "Fav SF5 songs" list next to Karins, Alex's, the main menu, and City in Chaos (both rounds).
That song sounds too much like a DKC stage theme.

Funnily enough, one of the members of Neo Shadaloo is a genetically-augmented gorilla. (Who I hope is eventually added)
Her bio is she's basically a female Ed, in that she was another Bison clone with psycho power potential. Still, I rather like her style.
Featuring Kenny Omega!
He's so pretty. Send help…
Cody looks great in this game :D
This is going around at EVO:

It would appear to be an insight into G's character.
Theres some random capitalization in the middle there. Doesn't seem to spell anything out tho.
MAXIMUM PRESIDENT
DANGEROUS PRESIDENT
I finally remembered why his powers seemed familiar. It's like Tremor's Metallic variation in MKX, in being both gold and lava at once.
G is so much frickin' fun. Plus, with such an eccentric personality, it's almost criminal to play as him. Both G and Zeku makes this Street Fighter game worthwhile.
G is an awesome character :D
Also good to have Sagat back plus the Thailand Stage
Waits for modders to make a Kratos costume mod out of Sagat
So, basically, Evil Ryu is now it's own separate person ala Shadow Jago, going by the name Kage.
Season 4 catches up with E. Honda and Poison returning, and with semi-new character, Lucia from Final Fight 3.
Gill from The Boss of Street Fighter 3 is going to be Playable in Street Fighter V
Considering the price and the neglect I've given SFV, I might actually buy it. Hell, I might give it as a gift to someone as well.
And with that, every SF boss is now in.
I was surprised that they brought Seth back
I do think that it's cool that Seth can copy abilities of other fighters
I haven't gotten Street Fighter V yet. So I probably will end up getting the Champion edition.
!
We got New Information on Street Fighter V Final Season,The Final Character is unknown but we Dan,Rose,Oro,and Akira Kazama from Rival Schools :D
! Hehe by this point, they might as well call this Capcom Megamix with all the other fighting games they're cramming in. Final Fight, Strider, and now Rival Schools. Not that I'm complaining, Project Justice is still one of my fave 3D fighting games (which unfortunately still hasn't been ported outside of Dreamcast, get it together Capcom). So nice to see they remember it, hopefully that'll lead into them considering a third installment.
^
! Rival Schools getting a third entry would be hilarious considering the limbo that Darkstalkers is still in
! Who else remembers Power Stone?
Eleven's shapeshifts are god-damn creepy-looking.
