It seems odd, but I'd like for them to follow the trend of aging the characters. I'd like to see an older Guile return as a general. I'd like to see Ryu as the old master who nobody can touch...the cheap bastard near the end per-say, then we get to play as him in the presumed SFIV: Turbo
I love the mythology, and I love the story. Want to get a little more out of Street Fighter's backstory? Watch the new movie
Street Fighter Alpha: Generations. Awesome stuff.
I love the feeling of the series, and I have a STRONG attachment to the characters, but I realize that the fan service has to end for the story to survive. People get old and die, and characters must age accordingly. I think the old guys still have a place, and I love 'em to death, but new blood must step into the story and move it forward. If not, the series becomes a mascot "cameo-fest". It's undoubtablly the best fighter in the world as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps we could see Chun-Li's daughter, or a deciple of her teachings. Ken and Eliza's son following in his dad's footsteps and becoming a world champion?
Things need to change. I hope they do, and I hope the series thrives as a result.
