I think it's a conspircy... the toy/comic are probably selling because it's a "nostalgia series"
I mean, go to the SF board at Action-Figure.com and you'll see A LOT of people bitching and moaning 'the original 12' need to be made before the 'other characters' (which ironically the 12 they want contain Chun-Li, Blanka, Guile, Zangief, M.Bison, Vega, Balrog, Dhalsim, and E.Honda NOT Gen, Lee, Adon, Birdie, Eagle, Joe, Geki, Mike, and Retsu... Ryu, Ken, and Sagat of course are in either set of 12)
Who needs a 'new' game when an old one will sell better... you make a new game and people are all "Dan's not in it?! F**K THIS!" replace Dan with whatever character they like and whatever explitive was approprate for the room, but releasing old games makes them say "OOOOH! SF2 I used to play this on the SNES! which I have and my cart still works but I'm too lazy to hook it back up" or "I never played this before but everyone else says it's cool and old skool so to be kool and old skool I should totally own it too!!!"
Blanka and Dan make for a most excellent tag image (yeah still not funny)

While I enjoy CFE myself, especially on Xbox Live where you are instantly logged in, it's lag free, and with voice chat while playing I had a one hour conversation about Darkstalkers storylines with a guy from Washington DC who sounded like he was in my apartment and all of the great online players (I still managed to get 30 wins, I've been too busy to compete in Capcom's CFE online tourney or have a lot of online matches in general but I'm signed up for it though, maybe Tuesday I'll jump in...) I kind of don't want this thread to be about it 'cuz it doesn't have much to do with the Anime.
And really, if you don't care for CFE you still have options. There's SVC Chaos, it's not the greatest but not as bad as people make it out to be (there's some control issues but oh well, you can still have a lot of fun with it) and you can also import Namco x Capcom. At least if Capcom's not going to do much with SF they will still license the characters to other companies for the time being hence this Anime, Comics, toys, etc. Shoot, I would literally die for some Section Z merchandise since we can't get a new game... So who knows what other crossovers are coming up. And who knows when Capcom USA will make their 3D SF game which is what's probably gonna happen at some point. But then again, who knows.
But getting back to the Anime, I wonder if that old man is supposed to be the same guy who was sweeping leaves in the first SFZ/A Anime.
Ryu and Chun-Li forever!
