...and Street Fighter 4 is no different. I was never any good at Street Fighter before HD Remix came out and had it not been for this game I probably wouldn't have picked up Street Fighter 4 either but due to an impulse buy during Thanksgiving amongst the pleads of friends and family I learned not only that my finger twiddling skills had apparently gotten better with age but that I was pretty competent with one character in particular. No it wasn't Ken or Ryu but a charge character called DeeJay. At first I had only chosen him for the simple fact that he shared my name but after a few rounds online and winning my very first ranked match I found my main character. A few weeks later I was saddened to learn he would not be in the next installment that has apparently swept the gamer nation and was forced to test out characters who would make a reappearance, settling on Sagat.

Part of me still feels guilty for leaving DeeJay behind in my XBLA collection and with some Capcom empoyees claiming that new characters would be unlikely due to fears of unbalance I guess it won't really be alleviated. But that's not what the question was asking. As far as who I'd like to see added, it's DeeJay without question. Pulling off a double kick from a back charge just doesn't compare to Balrog's rushing punches or Bison's flipping kicks and head stomps (curse those head stomps straight to hell)! For now, I'm still doing fine with tiger uppercutting jump happy Ken's into 0 Battle Points and tiger kneeing a Giefer in the hairy chest. I just wish I could introduce them to the flashy leg work of a fighting DJ/recording artist with an affinity for maracas. Nothing like those Japanese.
