you should check your facts first. he got in later with 4 other chars in super street fighter 2

Cool.

I'm baffled by the refusal of Fei Long's return. For me he is the only Bruce Lee esque character that, overall, feels like Bruce Lee (I said overall before people start correcting me about looks and personality).

I truly feel most of Street Fighter player, especially new ones, is trying to literally obliterate SF past to make it fit to more modern time. Everything that is kinda of reminiscent of olden times should be gone.

Not everyone comes back for every game. It's not that deep

There are so many other legacy characters that have been as dormant as Fei Long. Others that have been dormant for even longer. They bring back who they choose, popular or not, and that's it

What every game? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fei Long was - the last time, in SFIV. But we had Blanka and Honda for three games now.

Like?

It also took Blanka and Honda years to get into SFV. We're two weeks into SF6. Not like Fei Long has no chance of appearing in one of the later seasons. The fact that we got Dee Jay and a T. Hawk proxy means they're acknowledging the New Challengers more so there's that

With the last version of SF4 coming out in 2015, idk I don't consider 8 years to be THAT long of dormant. It took 18 years for Karin, Mika, Nash and Birdie to come back. We have five SF3 reps that haven't been playable in 25 years. It's often said that the World Warriors get special treatment. Maybe they do to an extent, but history's shown the only characters truly guaranteed for the base roster in every game is Ryu and Ken

Both of them were in SFIV. And in SFV. That's the point.
When he returns, I'll stop mentioning his omission. We got Dee Jay, but not T.Hawk You could argue his style is there, but she's just mini Me to his Dr Evil.

I don't count SFIV that way because Fei was in way earlier. I stopped playing SFIV in 2014 after five years of playing, and Chun Li, Cammy, Fei Long, Cody, Vega, Balrog and Abel were my most used characters. 10k+ hours well spent.
SF3 isn't very good game, so I understand why would certain characters be left out from following games. Out of all listed characters, Mika is the most interesting character to play, and watch.

Ryu is Street Fighter. You can make tonnes new characters, butts'n'boobs (when I say this I mean as marketing campaign and not something that's integrated within the game), but OG will remain OG for the rest of days. Same thing with Ken.

You're wrong. SF2: The new challengers which debut Fei Long released in 1993 while MK was 1992 in arcades.
