As I sit here and gather inspiration from SF3 chun-li sprites I’m thinking of expanding the Character Select screen.

12 or 16 characters most likely… I’m thinking of adding Q, and Urien (because that’s where I left off when I stopped updating). Ken and Sean are in there as secret characters but I’ll most likely remove Sean later. Those characters plus the core roster of Ryu, Blanka, Sagat, Oro, Hugo, Guile, Dhalsim, Sakura and Akuma add up to 12 already. I was looking into adding my own version of Charlie aka Nash as a secret character that already feels like it justifies making a larger character select screen.

The question is how big? Who is missing in the roster to really make this a complete street fighter game? 6, 8, 12 more characters?

lets run it down:

1. Vega / Bison / Dictator
   This guy is key. He’s the Hallmark badguy in the game. Plus he has a unique play-style. I’d be using the CVS sprites for this.

2. Chun-Li
   Definitely one of the icons in all video-gaming. Perhaps just as recognizable as Ryu, Chun-Li is also a classic charge character.

3. Gouken
   I have my hands on some awesome custom Gouken sprites that mimic both sf3 art style and sf4 character design. I’m very excited to finish this one up.

4. Alex
   Classic SF3 character. Also a main character with a unique play style. Lets make use of those Zweifuss sprite rips :P

5. Sean
   Yea maybe? I would love to modernize his play-style a little. Other than that maybe not? This is where I could start to listen to feedback because the rest of the roster is just what I want to see.

6. Decapre
   I already started this character … she is a lot of fun. And its interesting to see them in 2D.

7. Dudley
   We need a boxer in the game…right? And more sf3…
