started Top 5 section with the forgotten. In Street Fighter been many characters as any set some have more appearances than others. This is not a minor detail, there are characters with few appearances were able to overcome forgetfulness and are remembered and even requests for inclusion in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition or future delivery, and Karin Kanzuki (perhaps the most popular which appeared a few times) or Rainbow Mika. Others with a little more presence as Hugo, Urien also call Elena and track.
clarify that when I speak of forgotten I mean, besides not being currently series, a character almost unknown, regardless of weight in history and even the head of a fan would ever complain about an opportunity to bring to life some of them (yes, you can read VERY Occasionally a request for a forgotten, yet so little that is not worth it).
Forgotten The five characters share a distinctive feature: all debuted in SF I, but none of them returned to see his face again. Only Sagat, Adon, Gen and Eagle say this again, obviously without Ryu and Ken.
POSITION 5: Retsu
The less forgotten the Forgotten. Retsu has enough material for discussion in their favor despite their low popularity. Maybe someday see it as much as a cameo on stage, or final animated introduction. What are the pros? His relationship with a character of weight: Gouken , it says that both have a good friendship. This is enough to wonder if Retsu Akuma got to know, he is the brother of his friend, Goutetsu (for the same reason Akuma), Ryu and Ken, and what they relate to the characters mentioned. I guess one day you will Gouken said he had a brother who was a teacher and coaching / training to three young people (taking into account as fleeting Dan disciple). Hence it can be removed much juice for their relationship with people so important, and there is a formal illustration showing a Retsu and Dan with clear signs of having a contest (more fuel to the fire.) Another point in its favor is its design, there are none in the series that comes close (or not so). But a character with a good background story that can be used not necessarily mean that should be included if or if (for example Zangief does not have and is a symbolic character, unique and extremely popular).
As cons Retsu has a low popularity, and not having a combat style defined in the only game that appeared was not selectable, and only had a very low level number of moves, you conclude? Expand your repertoire of moves shown in SF I and is easier to include a character with little presence in the series but popular enough with a combat style defined (as Karin or Elena). The rest will be a matter of adapting to the playable side where the series is located.
I do not see inclusion impossible, if extremely difficult and almost no chance, but dreaming is free long Gouken became a utopia and is now a reality. If we add the fact that Eagle was rescued for Capcom vs. SNK 2, Retsu opportunities increase a bit.
If Capcom wants to rescue a character from the past and ask me what, I would choose from this list Retsu not hesitate a second.
has the potential to be well assembled in Street Fighter: It looks great and fits very well, and in matters of argument can give a lot of juice (either by Gouken and Dan) unlike other characters. As fighting style, I reserve the mystery.
Anecdotally, Retsu appears fleetingly in the first UDON comic book series of Street Fighter. Fighting a friendly match against a boy named Ryu, and obviously as expected in the UDON comic, Ryu ends up winning the battle thanks to the brief possession of Satsui no Hadou.
POSITION 4: MIKE
Mike, when we talk about this guy talking to someone very special . Some believe it is Balrog (Mike Bison in Japan or Boxer by the gaming community). All this is obviously the name is known in Japan as the henchman M. Bison, and Capcom has never been clear about this. Shiozawa Nakky In fact the official blog of SF IV, at a question from a fan who wanted to clarify your question if Mike and Balrog was the same character, she replied, "Probably the same person." Wait, wait, do not worry! The word probably does not affirm or deny, only gives a possibility to be true ... or not. A Capcom loves to have fans on edge, there's no doubt, is also 99% more likely to give a concrete answer to a mystery like this in a game and not a blog (such as for Gouken) . In games you can find many clues in the story and list of characters that may seem insignificant details as the phrases of victory. Not everything is as linear as introduction / dialogue with Chief Intermediate / Final / Ending after defeating the Final Boss. Fans who want to answer your questions should dive in and do an intensive search, no dismissing a clue. Some choose to complain and expect everything to be told directly when before their eyes repeatedly wanders too much information.
My reasons for saying that Mike and Balrog are not the same character are the styling of both is different except in the sprite of SF II, Balrog always stood out for its remarkable muscle, which are difficult to confirm with Mike; and Ryu, Ken and Sagat in his move to SF II had a complete redesign more than a few tweaks here and there (Ryu with brown hair, looks more mature, red ribbon on his head, no sandals; Ken no visible changes apparent at first sight, Sagat with his chest scar and change in the color of his pants from blue to violet). not make much sense that Capcom has made many cosmetic changes in Mike beyond recognition while with Ryu, Ken and Sagat are limited on time on small details. There is no doubt that Balrog (Mike Bison or Boxer) is clearly inspired by Mike Tyson, and nothing else happened to be before there was a character with the same name and, to forget that we are discussing now.
If Mike is such a character as I argue (and not just me), their inclusion would have VERY complicated by the existence of two fighters popular: Balrog and Dudley, the opposite poles of Boxing, with a structure very different playable fun. Instead, if Mike is really Balrog, another event will be very curious in the history of Street Fighter (among the many that accumulates as fraud Sheng Long, the source of Dee Jay by Capcom USA, the reasons for setting Dan, the existence of Evil Ryu and Karin manga Kanzuki by Masahiko Nakahira, Gouken official appearance, etc.).
Mike has a much lower popularity than Retsu, no appearance in a by-product of the franchise (mangas, movies, etc), and only exists in the minds of fans for the possibility that it may become Balrog. I also think it is better to include a fighter with a discipline not seen in the series (Juri and Taekwondo) or fighting games (Hakan and his Yağlı yoghurt) that a third fighter. If we add the presence of Balrog and Dudley, create you Mike movements that differ sufficiently from the two heavyweights of boxing in Street Fighter sounds very complicated.
Their existence depends on Capcom, let it be forgotten or announce that it Balrog ... sorry, Mike Bison.
PLACE 3: JOE
a fairly common name in video games for a very common and generic design. is rumored to be one of the two fighters who lead the introduction of SF II CPS-1. For a long time this was believed and accepted, but is now to be reversed more accurate information where Capcom Japan never took action. also said that his comeback was in store for SFA 3 (I have no proof of this) , an opportunity seized by Cody (if this is true approve the decision by Capcom). I can only say that a movement is identical to that of Joe Cody. And finally in Final Fight Streetwise is a character very similar to Joe in the name of Ghost, which raises many questions about whether Joe can be that character (perhaps Cody was looking for revenge for taking away the opportunity to return.) I can not confirm if Ghost is Joe for the following reasons: it prevents the damn name and generic design Joe (just may be another character with another name and coincidentally similar).
Will these two are Mike and Joe?
Yes, no doubt
is unclassifiable on its future status: whether it is true that Capcom wanted to rescue for SFA 3 and if Fina Ghost Fight Streetwise , then there was a clear intention to bring it to life, if not it's all in the blue. That points would be favorable to the blond.
As for a possible return, the more possibilities I see Mike. As points against the same for all: do not have a definite style and it should work a little in design or figure to be more consensus among the fans. Capcom can do a good job as he did in his time with Adon (step away from being serious to pure arrogance), Birdie (drastic change in personality and figure), or Eagle (elegance and style with an English accent).
always try to have an open attitude towards all the characters from Street Fighter, but with Joe I have my doubts: on one hand the challenge of attracting the give a facelift and define his style, especially when Joe looks like a street fighter, so that freedom to create their movements are extended, the other side of the balance is not me happen at all in what it can contribute to the series, there are many interesting characters and that is enough in order to seize its opportunities.
PLACE 2: Geki
A similar case to Retsu. A forgotten character with some possible links to some popular personal, what rumors surrounding Geki? That was the master of Vega and may be the father of Ibuki or at least of the same clan. All these rumors are just what they are, rumors. There's nothing official or anything to support it.
In SF I is one of the most attractive in design and movement (using a claw, Shuriken and teleports, so much for that time). All this can be seen in Vega and Ibuki (it uses instead of Shuriken Kunai).
Geki Why second? For the competition you have, especially Ibuki (who roll it in popularity) because even though Vega use a claw and style appropriate to Ninjitsu, is far from looking like a ninja. Another point is that wielded with Mike: "better to include a fighter with a discipline not seen in the series ... or fighting games ... a third ..."
A whole army of Geki could with this
Not much to say Geki, its origins are obscure and not known about him. In this sense if it is a ninja: keeps his identity secret.
As one of the characters I like best SF I, say that their situation is "almost impossible" to a possible return to the small screen. Perhaps what we see as a alternate costume for Vega, Guy character or another, as the case of Mike Haggar (another Mike for a change) and Zangief.
Geki has two appearances in the UDON comics, the first in the main series of Street Fighter to dry name he is hired to kill Gen and death ends his goal . His second appearance appearance is simply pathetic, as there would otherwise be expected from the sub-series pathetic Legends (history focusing on a particular character, everything that will happen to focus on female characters.) In Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki, Geki is not an individual but a clan with the obvious excuse of being cannon fodder for showcasing the main characters, something common in the histories of UDON, Street Fighter, espcially in Legends.
Ridiculed by a girl
Ridiculed by several girls. These guys have no future
POST 1: LEE
The end, the number 1 spot, the gold medal, the most coveted ... but nobody in this area want. In my opinion the winner is Lee for a few reasons a lot of weight and potential for future occurrence is remote. I'll be honest, I admit that in SF image highlights more than other fighters like Mike, Joe, Birdie and even Adon. And nothing more.
uncle Lee and Yang Yun and that is enough to note that it is terribly difficult give a new opportunity. SF III twins are VERY popular support someone look at the old man to Lee. You can contribute something in the story related to his nephews, but not something so momentous as to have it in mind because Yun and Yang have their relationships with Chun Li and Fei Long.
If it's any consolation to Lee, it shows a little influence on the design of Yun and one of the special moves of the young, Zesshou Hohou, is very similar to their unique special move. Yang also had the movement but was removed in SF III 2nd. His stage background Wall of China can be found again SFA, which fights against Chun Li (version night), Akuma (day version) and M. Bison Dramatic Battle mode.
For a time it was rumored that Lee could stand on stage cameo Chun Li SF II: the rumor pointed to a guy holding a chicken. I never found an explanation or a coherent sense, the subject of the scene of Chun Li is very different from Lee and apparently lost steam this last conjecture. SSF II Turbo HD Remix sprite the above can be seen better and has nothing to do with Lee, but clarified that Udon is not Capcom. In contrast to the daytime version of the scenario of China's SF IV, there is a subject very similar to Lee.
Its most direct competition (Yun and Yang) is so strong that block all possible avenues to a possible return. Does not have the necessary popularity, coupled with all the points against it are the forgotten.
would be nice and would even be enough to see it in a lively intro or ending with his nephews, because they will partly take their "legacy", especially Yun, who could be defined as the version of "youth and cool Lee.
Lee has the misfortune of appearing in a comic UDON (more precisely in Street Fighter Legends: Chun Li, worse). It has a brief confrontation with Fei Long after a disastrous entry furious jumping, kicking and smashing everything in its path only challenge to Fei Long. obviously lost with astonishing ease before a Fei Long in the game unrecognizable . It also appears in the manga Sakura Ganbaru! of Masahiko Nakahira, where Sakura and lose face, but his performance was pretty good, Sakura had to work on his victory and had a little luck.
And that's all. The first installment of the Top 5 began with the forgotten. For me, this opening of the section will not be forgotten and will do my best to maintain it.
Street Fighter was long characterized by having a template with native fighters in Most of Japan first, U.S. second, rest of Asia in the third, and last and smallest piece of the pie for the rest of the world as a European country. Today this has changed for good and Capcom has been creating characters for other places like Europe (Abel / Hakan France / Turkey), and others that had not been included in the series (Juri / South Korea). Of the 8 unique characters of SF Chapter IV, only one is Japanese (Gouken) and only two Americans (C. Viper and Rufus). This too is catching up with popular characters again today as Rose, Dudley, and Dee Cody Jay.
To close the topic, it deserves full five characters that make up this ranking are called "Forgotten Characters." They contributed to the series in time and rescued Capcom necessary, it was common that some would be left out. Still exist in the minds of some fans either by its mysteries, its proximity to popular characters or implicitly because some of them still living as if Ibuki and Geki.
