Top 5 Street Fighter Characters Missing From Super Street Fighter IV
ogmaster | 12:29 PM on 04.27.2010 6 comments


Super Street Fighter IV is out and it's filled with fighters spanning several Capcom games. Our problem is that there are a few more characters that should have been included in the game.

#5 Eagle – This stick carrying Brit was your second opponent from England in Street Fighter 1. It took some time before Eagle saw a rebirth in Alpha 3 for the PSP and Capcom vs. SNK 2. The guy deserves another shot damn it. We dont want to have these characters to have their most lasting effect on gaming is that crappy ending dialogue.

#4 Sean – Ok Sean is not much of a fan favorite, far from it. When word got out that Ken had an apprentice in Street Fighter 3, everyone started to pick Sean. Then everyone stopped because he sucked with his stupid basketball projectile. But think how touching it would have been to have Sean meet Gouken, his teacher's teacher. It would be an emotional moment up until the point Gouken beats Sean's sorry ass.

#3 Alex – This should have been a gimme choice. Alex was the leader character for the Street Fighter 3 series making Ryu take a back seat for the first time. So why not bring him back instead of all the other non-major characters of Street Fighter 3? Yeah he showed up on Tatsunoko vs Capcom, but seriously, how many people are playing that game? Uh oh, I think I just heard Wii fanboys yelling at me right now.

#2 Urien – A favorite among Third Strike fans, Urien was a thinking man's character. The Aegis Reflector super move was incredibly useful against almost any opponent with the exception of Chun Li who was overpowered as fuck. Besides, looking at his moves, you can see the resemblance between him, Seth and Abel making for an interesting storyline addition.

#1 Rolento – Simply put, Rolento is a badass. He was so badass that Capcom was afraid that SNES owners would have their own heads explode because of his bad-assery so they kept him out of the home version. At least that's our theory. Seriously though, with Cody and Guy returning, why not bring back on of their nemesis as well? In the Alpha series, Rolent was fun to use, a comboing machine, and had one of the sickest supers ever, the “pull you up by a thin rope and hang you on a hook like a pig while he throws a grenade at you” move or whatever it's officially called.

Hmmm, I see you didn't add Skull-o-mania. I also see Sean on this list.

NO FAP!

Top 5 characters missing from Super Street Fighter IV huh? Here's my list...

#5: New fucking character.
This character would be awesome because you never saw anyone like this before. Seriously. Whether their flashy moves or elaborate dance steps during victories, this character would soon become a fan favorite.

#4: Another New Character
Sure, this is an apprentice of _______ but with youth comes foolishness, cheekiness, and new fashions. This character may not have age on his/her side, but he/she definitely has flair.

#3: Mysterious Siluotte
This oddly hinted character is all the more mysterious because they've never been seen before. In fact, this character is soo shadowy and mysterious, they have no ties to any character you've ever played before.

#2: A new challenger
_______ form _________ offers up a unique perspective on martial arts because of their experience in __________. And because nobody has ever come from ________ before, it's a fresh experience.

#1: A new character
Seriously, maybe I've driven this point home, no? Then how about this?

Super Street Fighter II has more new characters than Super Street Fighter IV.

@sheppy Yeah it's less than thrilling to bring back characters while just including two brand new ones, but the fact is, these old characters are kind of new to most people. For example, I focused on the Alpha series over the SF3 series so Dudley, Makoto and Ibuki are new to me. Other players are the opposite. It is still fresh and brings back some good memories.

Frankly, I'm just grateful that they didn't waste a roster spot on Evil Ryu.
