What's next for SFIV? If anything?

Probably nothing, but I'd love to see Capcom throw us who are unlikely to be really early SFV adopters a bone.  One more DLC update.  And it can be a simple one, even.  Here's what I'd like to see:

  • Make the Omega movelist available in all modes of gameplay.  Kind of a no-brainer, really.  I have no idea why they didn't do this already.
  • Add a handful of characters who already have 3D models put out for other games that are compatible with SFIV.  To whit, I'd love to see:
    • Mike Haggar from Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  I mean, c'mon.  He's a Final Fight character, and Final Fight takes place in the SF universe.  He's just about the only Final Fight character who hasn't made an appearance in SF at one point, and we've already got a 3D model and moves in place.  Just a little tweaking and he's good to go.
    • Asura from Asura's Wrath.  He already fights Ryu and Akuma (and Evil Ryu and Oni) in his own game, so porting him over shouldn't be too hard.
  • By the way, the Akuma and Asura fight is exactly what I mean when I say that this genre is like an over-the-top Japanese, mystical superhero genre.  Check it out:
