Capcom, how you mock me.

Out of the cast of Street Fighter Alpha 3, my favorite character to play has always been Juli.  Not exactly the strongest personality in Street Fighter, but her moves clicked for me more than other characters in the game.  Still, given that she's not exactly a frequenter of favorite Street Fighter character lists, I can't say I ever expected her to appear in any other game beyond the odd Alpha 3 port or remix.
 
So today, word started leaking about some more of the characters to be included in the next edition of Street Fighter IV.  One of the character names that I saw crop up was "Juri."  Not exactly the same, but it's similar enough given the longstanding l/r translation issues from Japanese.  Could it be?  Did Capcom somehow randomly decide to put my favorite Alpha 3 character in Super Street Fighter IV?

 Nope.
 Nope.
Instead of my favorite of Bison's dolls, we're apparently getting a raver chick that's into Tae Kwon Do.
 
Huh.  Well, all right.  At least I didn't have time to get my hopes up.  Also, she's a better inclusion than T. Hawk, at any rate.  But god damn you, Capcom.  You've created so many awesome characters, and then you come up with characters like this.  :P
