Will SF3s parrying system be implemented in? And if not why? It proved very useful in SF3 and is used by many.

Im gonna pump out a few questions....forgive me.
1. Capcom USA recently had a poll on which character we, as the consumers would like to see in the console release. Cammy came out on top. Is it possible we could be seeing other faces (and possibly even more new faces ontop of the 4 new arrivals) in the console release? Concept art of Dan and Fei-Long were shown, how likely is it for those two to make an appearance? Could we expect downloadable characters/stages/music further down the line? (CAN IGNORE THIS QUESTION SINCE BOTH DAN AND FEI-LONG ARE CONFIRMED).
2. Having briefly played the game, I must say the development team has done a brilliant job of keeping the feel of past games. However, will you be following a similar trend to previous titles; in other words should we expect a possible Turbo upgrade or a second chapter within the SFIV arc much like SFIII had two chapters?
3. Online play is a huge deal in the modern age however, there are some issues that plague online gaming. How will you ensure that matches are kept fair as possible? How will those who disconnect be punished whilst those with legitimate connection problems be exempt?
4. Seth (the boss) was named after Seth Killian of Capcom USA. Can I have a character named after me, please? If not, call me when you make SFV then and well talk, haha.
5. 2008 (and leading into 2009) is a big year for fighting games. Its The Return of the Fighters as some of us have dubbed it. What do you think of this and the titles released or due to be released such as Tekken 6, Soul Calibur 4, BlazBlue, King of Fighters XII and so on? Do you feel fighting games are having a revival after a long time being underground? Who do you think will take the crown of THE KING OF FIGHTERS (not the series)?
6. What can we expect after SFIV? A revival of Rival Schools or Darkstalkers, perhaps? Maybe even the (once again) rumoured Marvel vs Capcom 3?
Arigatou Ono-san.
Phew, a lot of questions there. Might post more later...

You re unlucky when you have an arcade machine? Or did I get something wrong?
oops i meant unlucky sorry :)
Id like to see some of the SF II stage music remixed. Though thats more of a wish then a question.
Plus this gives me a chance for the mario paint link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYAff6gPpJY) again. :d

Is Akuma going to be a playable character?
Edit: When can we expect to start recieving answers to these questions? Plus are you going to announce which three will be asked beforehand?

More more!
New costumes have now been revealed. Will we be seeing the same alternate outfits in the console release too? Ryu with his gi hanging around his waist was awesome! Will there be more additions?
Considering the console release will have more in them do you think Capcom will also update the arcade release in the future for those 100% purists featuring the extra characters? (can be linked in with my Turbo/Upgrade question).

Street Fighter IVs existence is pretty much due to the growing demand of the title. Is it feasible to release a Wii version at all? (This does not interest me, but some people are interested at a site I work for).
Street Fighter IV is a game for the fans, and as such there is a lot of pressure on Capcom to include what the fans want. With the recent poll at Capcom USA (the one in which Cammy came out on top), have you been feeling the pressure to implement characters outside of your initially planned schedule? What are the implications for the game itself when you introduce a new character?
(following on from the last question) As such, we imagine it would be easy to implement new costumes and levels into the game via downloadable content - but would it be difficult to introduce new characters - and, is such a feature planned?
and finally - a less serious, more nonsensical question: -
Customisation and presonalisation seem to be the norm in games and basically everything these days. With Street Fighter 4 - will players be able to either create their own characters or customise the currently existing characters?
C.Viper, to me is the most exciting new character design as she seems a little out of place, rather like Rose did in the Alpha series.
My question is how do you go about designing characters.
Do you design a character and fit a fighting style to them. Or do you fit a character around a fighting style?
-Thanks.
Aww, it seems like I missed the deadline for this. I cant wait to see what questions get answered though! Is there any estimate when those will be published, Tenebra?
