Maybe throw in Hugo from the start to have that 'hey that's the guy from Final Fight' hype.
Roster-wise I would have had Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Chun Li, Hugo and Sagat from the getgo, some character that references Guile and then the new guys. That might have gone over better than just Ryu, Ken and Sean at launch.
Capcom's flop with Marvel VS Capcom Infinite. So bad it missed EVO. So bad Marvel was like 'fine, we'll do it ourselves' when they started working on Tokon Fighting Souls.
Also Tecmo nearly killing the DOA series with 6. I was ready to go all in (Hitomi) and purchase the dlc characters and whatnot, but they pulled the plug after a year.

3rd Strike is a GREAT game, but I too would have preferred a more familiar cast. I simply am not a fan of most SFIII newcomers except for Elena, Makoto, Ibuki and Yun maybe. And I'm the biggest Necro and Remy defender you'll find! But I'd rather just have Dhalsim, Blanka and Guile instead.
And Sean, who was supposed to be the breakout new character of SFIII was made into a low tier geek.
Tecmo killing off DOA basically sucks yeah. DOA 5 is much better than DOA 6. DOA 6 has CRIMINAL prices for DLC packs, holy hell.
