In other words, someone saw what the Monopoly "Save Your Token" campaign did and thought it'd be a neat idea to borrow liberally.

I hope we see a return of R. Mika! Such an underrated character!

Can't say I ever was too great with her, but yes. I'd definitely like to see her in upcoming games along with Karin.

Allegedly the reason Karin was not included in the past few Street Fighter games was because she was licensed by a manga writer or something like that. Here's hoping she and Rose and R. Mika get in! (In Rose's case, again)

Ono said R. Mika is his favorite...I wonder why he didn't put her in any of the games?

Are talking about Karin by Yuna Kagesaki or Kamichama Karin by Kobe-dongo, because those are the only ones that pop into my head.

Anyways on topic I want to see both Karin and R. Mika those are my favorite streetfighter characters.

Karin Kanzuki, who first appeared in the "Sakura Ganbaru!" manga (1996) by Masahiko Nakahira (who also did various other SF manga - Alpha, Ryu Final, etc). Later, she became an actual playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998). Interestingly enough, after some digging around in rom data, it seems she nearly appeared in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter (1997).

Although she was created by Nakahira, that fact having anything to do with her lack of appearances seems to be speculation: She's also been in Capcom Fighting Evolution, Namco x Capcom, and Udon's Street Fighter comics with no apparent issues.

Both are Arika characters and Capcom would have to work with that company again in order to use them for future games.

Fei Long was listed; I voted for him because he is Bruce Lee.

I also voted for Q.

I believe Karin just dyes her hair blonde, even though she is fully Japanese (though she may be something like a quarter-American like Ken, who also dyes his hair).

Since when is Karin a "white name"? Are you thinking of "Karen" maybe?

Blair isn't canon, neither is Skullomania and ESPECIALLY not Ingrid. Hell, Blair and Skullomania aren't even CAPCOM characters!

I'd like to see Mike Haggar in a Street Fighter game. I hate it when they use Guy and Cody, but not Haggar.

Grieve not over her ephemeral presence in the series: she found her way to our hearts (and elsewhere) through virtues aside fame.
