Characters in SFIV

The beefy, thick looking designs can be a little tough to love but honestly being able to play as Fei-Long, Sakura and Cammy outweighs the bad.

Honestly, why isn't Fei-Long in more games?
 
Well yeah, I know the game is gorgeous. I'm talking about the actual design of the characters, ie their physical appearance. It has nothing to do with their gameplay or quality of the rendering, it's the initial design itself that lacks. And after hearing that the same guy who designed 3S characters designed the new ones in 4, I was severely disappointed.

The design takes some time to get used to. I hated their design at first, I guess primarily because the characters looked so different from what I was used to, but when I started playing the game for a while I didn't mind it. And now I love the design.

But once you start playing and fighting against other people, you quickly forget about the character design and get immersed at how much fun this game is. It's the reason why I started going back to the arcade again. And it is awesome that Cammy and Fei-Long will be in it. Those were my 2 favorites from SSF2.
 
I am VERY happy to see two of my favorite street fighter characters (Sakura and Gen) make it to SF4, but there is one thing that is bugging me about them being in SF4.

Sakura was 16 years old in the Alpha series right, in SF4 shouldn't she be well into her twenties? If she is in her twenties and shes still wearing her high school uniform... That's just strange.

As for Gen, if I remember correctly he was terminally ill during the Alpha series shouldn't he be... DEAD?
