I get that it's supposed to be a New Generation (hence the name)
but only adding Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li from the original is pointless
Cammy, Sagat and Vega-Claw would've been great additions besides just Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li.
> Cammy would've given SF3 another established female character, plus she's the most popular new character from Super SF2 that outshines the other three newcomers Dee Jay, Fei Long and T. Hawk.
> Sagat's redemption arc would've worked better and highlighted more in New Generation rather than SF's B-series SF Alpha.
> Vega-Claw can be the holdover villain from SF2 while still doing away with M. Bison in favor of Gill as the main villain for SF3.

so really: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, Sagat and Vega-Claw would be more than enough to better compensate for a roster mostly full of unknowns like Alex, Dudley, Elena, Ibuki, Gill, etc.
