Weird =/= uninteresting.
It's all a matter of personal taste. I simply preferred the character designs in 3S.

More like wacky. SF3 had a more serious theme than 2. Which is why alot of 3rd strike players hate alot of the characters in 2(And subsequently, 4) because they're alot more cartoonish
At least that's based on the constant argument I've seen from numerous 3rd strike players
They get mad at the "joke" characters like Street Fighter was supposed to have this serious feel in the first place
I mean I used to like 3rd strike and it's characters more than 2 as well, but that might as well not even been a street fighter with how much was changed.
and after seeing so much of SF4, I actually prefer the feel and style of 2 more than 3.

It may not have had a serious feel in the beginning but Capcom moved the series along to give it one. I'd say if the serious tone started anywhere it would have been the Alpha/Zero series (with Dan to serve as the obvious comic relief).
However, I will say that even when I was younger, I never played with Blanka, Dhalsim, or E. Honda because I never liked those characters. I played the shotos, chun, and dictator until Super Street Fighter 2 came and I proceeded to use Cammy.
To be perfectly honest, the 2D fighter that really grabbed me into 2D fighting was GGX2. Before then, I only really preferred 3D.

The only new character I am okay with is Abel. Other than that I am not a fan of the new characters in SF4. It would be nice if Capcom put new characters that you would actually want to play. They couldn't think of anyone better than Rufus and El Fuerte? Other than that, the console will have a great roster when it releases. It would have been nice to have seen DeeJay in the game or maybe someone or a few from 3S but whatever. The gameplay makes up for the few dislikes that I have about SF4.

I kind of want to play Rufus. Only thing keeping me away is that apparently he's a really cheesy character
And I was interested in Fuerte until I heard more about his actual gameplay, which sounds like it isn't something I'd like playing.
and I know alot of people that play C.Viper at arcades, so Capcom must be doing something right with character designs.
but of the new characters, Abel is definitely the guy I want to play the most. but that's because of his gameplay reminding me of SNK grab characters(Chaining grabs, goro command roll)
That's why I like the roster. No one is going to like everyone on it. I personally hate Sakura and Cammy as character designs and find them uninteresting from a gameplay standpoint, but they have strong fanbases that feel the same way towards some characters I play.
So there seems to be something for everyone's taste in the roster, and I appreciate that.
