Character select screening

In a nice bit of fan service, Capcom is conducting a poll to help choose extra characters for the console version of Street Fighter IV. Voters can choose from Cammy, Dan, Dee Jay, Fei Long, Hugo, Ibuki, Sakura and T. Hawk.

SFIV only has two female characters, so forget the guys. And can we please just give Cammy and Sakura a rest and go with Ibuki, the best new addition to the SF universe in a decade? I mean, look at her, she’s a freakin’ ninja! And according to Wikipedia, she has a pet tanuki, which I’m pretty sure means that she tamed Mario and kept him as her pet. Can you beat that?
