Street Fighter IV Producer Yoshinori Ono has teased the inclusion of Dee Jay and T. Hawk in the fighter to Famitsu, reports IGN. Ono apparently stated that incomplete 3D models were created of the characters, and the staff even planned out T. Hawk's combat, but no explanation was given for why the pair didn't make the four-quel. The characters are the only two fighters from Super Street Fighter II Turbo missing in SF IV.
Ono expressed that if there's enough support from the fans, the characters will be added at a later date. It's not clear if that would be DLC for the current game, or if they'd be added in a later iteration, like, Super Alpha Street Fighter IV Turbo Remix Deluxe.

I'd prefer Doctrine Dark in SF4 before either of these two characters...

What, no Alex, Elena, or R Mika? Really, all the previously mentioned are better than T Hawk.

Everyone use some common sense, maybe actually read the article. *GASP* As the article states, Dee Jay & T. Hawk already have character models made up for them for SFIV, that's why Capcom could potentially add them at some later date. Stop asking for all these other characters to be added, because, sorry to break it to you, we aren't getting them. Be happy that Capcom may add any new characters at all.

The interviewer mentioned here that he'd wanted to see Rolento from SF Alpha in the game. Some voters did select Rolento, Ono admitted, but he was excluded because he's a Final Fight character. Ono explained that if they put him in the game would become completely like Alpha.
At first I thought they were putting Rolento in, but I guess Ono doesn't want SF4 to be like the other SF games. So...no Hugo, Ibuki, or anyone else for that matter...

Why waste time with these ones? They should either make new ones or take more characters from Street Fighter III.

Somehow reach an agreement with Arika and put Skullomania in the game instead.

Oh yes! Please please PLEASE add these two Ono. Come on! T. Hawk has my second favorite character from the old games(right after Dhalsim) and Dee Jay was my third being the only charge character I could ever get a handle on. I hate to say it but I would shell out a few bucks if it meant I could play as these guys in SF4. Plus, I mean, come on. They were the only 2 that got the shaft, they deserve to join the rest of the crew.

Rather have some SF3 characters than these two.

That's cool and all, for completeness' sake, but I hope they toss in some other Alpha characters at some point...Charlie and Cody would be cool, but I'd really like to see Birdie...I'm not sure why.

their only excuse for leaving out these characters is to make us pay more for the game, well sorry capcom i won't, they should have been included from the start.

It couldn't possibly be because they were having enough trouble balancing the already large roster on top of adding four never-played characters. It just couldn't.
Oh, and how dare they try to make money off their products in the future? Geez, the balls of these people. Don't they know we'll only pay for games that are overkilled with content?! We have standards Capcom!

The irony of it all Temidien...
If certain games of today were made with an "it (DLC) is all on the disk already" mentality, the same people would unlock hidden features and blow through the content only to exclaim how short said game is. You know the routine HUYI, "we do not have to buy it.

As for the racial jokes etc...
Im am Jamaican (parented) and came from the "hood", no one paid any attention to any racial traits in SF. It all boiled down to how garbage a character was and maybe the looks in our younger days. Dee Jay, T. Hawk were experiments at best, when playing novice opponents. No kid wanted to waste 25cents a pop, trying master those tools against someone experienced using an "original character".

Street Fighter 4 taking place after 2; I'm pretty sure Charlie is dead.

I would love to see Elena and Makoto from SF III, Adon, Eagle, Birdie, and Geki (replacing Ibuki) from SF, and Karin from SFA3 even tho she is basically a combination of Fei Long/Elena.

Eagle, Birdie, Karin, R. Mika, Rolento, Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Sean (YES! Sean vs Dan! You know you want to see that) Alex, Q, Necro and Twelve need to be in.
Forget about DeeJay and T-hawk. they both suck.

i REALLY hope that Capcom uses the DLC method for future iterations of SFIV. i fully expect there to be futer versions of SFIV with new characters and tweaks to the fighting system or character balances, but Capcom is going to be shooting themselves in the foot if they release it as another, full price, disk-based game. i'd pay $10, or even $20 for the next iteration of SFIV as DLC, but another $60… ah, who am i kidding? i'd pay that too because i'm a dirty whore for Street Fighter and Capcom knows it.
i friggin' hate T. Hawk, but Dee Jay and maybe a few characters from SFIII like Alex, Ibuki, and/or Makto – that would be some epic DLC!

Bring em on, lets put the family back together again. Whether they're great or suck? Thats another question. But one we will never find the answer to unless we get em playable.

That was sweet when back in the day Capcom pulled interesting characters from its universe or made up cool random ones for Street Fighters. Dunno why they had to retardedly get EVERYONE from SFII back.
God dammit how bout anyone from 3s.

Yes T Hawk and Dee Jay, If you know how to use T hawk he is unstoppable, Dee Jay is cool too. This will be the best!.

Out of all the characters to put in SF IV, why Dan? It could have been anybody from SF III or whatever else but why Dan? Simple comedy relief?
