Fans have wanted it (mostly the ones with suspicious creases in the center of their pants) and Capcom has delivered it -- yes folks, Cammy is heading to Street Fighter IV. She topped a poll from Capcom that asked which character gamers wanted to see most in SF IV, so now that she is said to be "definitely in the game," the Internet may rejoice.
Cammy is a firm favorite (emphasis on firm) with Street Fighter fans, and the British agent in a glorified swimsuit is one of the series' most memorable characters. There are also plenty more depraved and foul things I could say, but you can either use your imaginations or just type "Cammy" into Google Image Search with the safety function switched off. I know I have.
While we're on the subject of new characters, there's also a rumor that Sheng Long will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show. No further details from there, but it seems Capcom is still mulling over the cast list, stating that:
"Figuring out the right number of characters is a lot like chess. You need to know the rules well, and things need to be balanced properly. We'll see what we end up with."
Now that Cammy is in, and assuming we may see Sheng Long soon, who else from the SF back catalog would you like to see make an appearance? Or do you want some more brand new characters?

Also, seconding on the need for Sakura.
NIHON ROCKS <3
As for a character I'd like to see return, Ingrid, from Alpha 3 Max(the PSP one).
For the most part though, now that the original 8 fighters, Cammy, Fei-long, Akuma, and the 4 bosses are there, I'm happy with the roster.
I'll be honest, I'm happy as hell, but not bouncing off the walls like you might expect. Guess you can say I've grown to accept this was going to happen once Cammy won the fan vote poll.
However, this doesn't end my campaign for getting characters into Street Fighter IV. There's a few more possibilities that really should be looked at by Capcom - specifically Mike Haggar (yes, the guy from Final Fight) - but having Cammy in the game is a good thing. At least Buster and I can now have epic Cammy vs. Chun-Li fights on Xbox Live.
who doesn't know thats nihon?
kthxbai.
that is all.
BGSU FUCKING REPRESENT!!!!!!
Cammy at anime expo
Dan was already announced to be in the console version.
I want Alex or Ibuki
I will also accept Birdie, Sodom, Guy, Adon, Gen, Q, T Hawk, Dee Jay, Urien, R. Mika, Alex, Makoto, Cody... okay, you know what? I want all of them in there! Every single one and then some. I know we cant have the EX characters but why not just use new characters and steal their special moves?
That's Don Rickles.
Also, CAMMY.
FAP FAP FAP FAP.
So, the game is already out in arcades.
But they're now adding Cammy to the roster. Also, the game is set to come out soon for consoles (soon being subjective)
Sooo....do they already have like 30 characters programmed, bug-tested, animated, designed and ready for the game (to be released as $DLC no doubt), or are they just really fast artists/programmers?
Dan might be heading to the console versions along with Fei Long. I believe RAB has the details.
Also, Dan please.
