Haters gonna hate?
Just call it "I'm sick of all the shotos getting attention." I'd even have taken M.Bison over Akuma.
Note: I'm also not too much a fan of Trish and X-23 essentially doing what Dante and Wolverine already do. Were they really that desperate to add females to the roster? Capcom at least had Vs. vets in Son Son and B.B. Hood.
Too bad the series was disconfirmed. He could have been interesting.
Then it shows how little they cared about the product from the getgo if they didn't look into a lot of their "lesser" brands. (Yes, this also contains some Strider Hiryu lament)
It's all about the money.
Then we'd be seeing Mega Man in his place. There's quite a few people not happy that one of their star characters is out in favor to what amounts to being a clone of Ryu.
As for other Power Stone characters, aside from mother Fokker, I was thinking of Jack or Wang Tang. Really, any of them would have worked nicely in this game.
