[edit] Lei-Lei

I'm quite certain I played a Street Fighter II arcade port which had a hopping corpse named Lei-Lei. Apparently, this character is actually from Darkstalkers, but I am quite certain I have never played Darkstalkers and that the character appeared with other Street Fighter characters. I don't think it had any SNK characters in it, nor any other monsters, unless one counts Blanka. I believe I played it at an arcade in Chinatown, New York City. I don't think the character was called Hsien-Ko. I also saw an action figure of the character that appeared to be in the same series as some Street Fighter action figures. --Scottandrewhutchins 05:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Lei-Lei is the Japanese name of the Darkstalker Hsein-Ko. The Japanese name of the Darkstalkers series is the Vampire series. Several of the female Darkstalkers characters have figures (or statues) which are in the same lines as female Street Fighter characters, such as Cammy and Chun-Li, called, as I recall, the "Capcom Girls" line, or something like that. It's possible that you were playing a bootleg/hacked game, or were simply mistaken. 65.120.0.47 (talk) 23:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guy?

Why isn't Guy on here? He's been in a few SF games. Or does he count as a "minor" char? TerminusEst13 15:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. TerminusEst13 15:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging these articles

I don't know how many people actually visit this, but I may as well try asking before I bother to do anything. Does anyone care if I merge all of the small character articles (like 33) to the List of Street Fighter characters? A lot of these characters really have nothing that warrents an article. It would look like this, but finished. The characters that should be merged are up above. Nemu 00:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

• Wouldn't recommend it. A lot of the articles actually just need expansion, though a few really are nothing but bare bones in the end. Take a look at Tiamat's plot guide for characters who might qualify for article merging is my suggestion.--Kung Fu Man 01:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Only undid FightingStreet's changes because I disagreed with the volume of them (it left a searing mess behind, better for gradual changes than one mega one)...the template though should probably be cleaned up. I think at this point it's safe to say anyone from SF1 not in other games could easily be compressed. SF3 is a little bit of a tossup. Many of them appeared in other titles, and SF4 leaves the possibility of more of them (Ono made mention of Ibuki, capcom's poll listed Dudley). So might leave that in the air. Sawada and Blade can be removed at this point. Kevin Striker I'd suggest keeping for the same reason of Sheng Long there: it relates to the confusion of Kevin being "Ken Masters" thanks to capcom USA's story changes. The merged Final Fight characters would be best to be removed though. All I can think of for now...really not sure what to do with SF1 though as is, as the current setup would be messy in comparison if they just got selectively nixed.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 06:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
