It was a bold and ambitious decision for sure, one we may never see again for a mainline sequel for a classic fighting game series, but still. ![]() But at the time from what I can tell the 3 series as a whole got put through the wringer by most people for roster decisions, slimmer/less flashy gameplay, being 2D during the industry transition to 3D, and overall coming off as "more Street Fighter but without anyone I liked." The 3 series bombed immensely as a result, never even broke a million copies sold on any release which even Alpha 3 managed. As well as SF3 proving itself a competitive/gameplay darling amongst the hardcore of the fanbase later on. ![]() More people love characters like G, Makoto, Alex, Oro, etc years after the fact in part due to nostalgia and because SF3 isn't the main game anymore. Well the overall fanbase hated SF3 when it broke the mold by having Ryu + Ken and only newcomers besides that. And if we're getting a 3 representative then Makoto or Ibuki seem like reasonably likely candidates (Dudley or Q also seem like solid possibilities). One of those claims was that there are two missing characters, one of whom is Rose, and if that's the case then I think it's very likely the last character will be someone from 3 (the only game that would still be missing if we got Rose). I've seen some claims that there are 2 or 3 characters still missing from the leak. Like, once they decided to make 8 new characters (counting Luke as a new one) and include all 8 original World Warriors, Cammy, and Akuma (which is understandable, it feels weird when a Street Fighter game is missing any of those characters, and 5 already released without all the World Warriors and didn't get the last of them until a few seasons of DLC), that just doesn't leave much room for characters from 3-5 or Alpha. I don't know if there needs to be any particular reason for a character's absence when you consider how few slots the roster apparently had for returning non-SF2 characters.
