I would like to see Karen from Alpha 3 come back. She had a tricky defensive play style that could be beastly if you got the timng right. Not familiar with the comic so I have no idea with that clue, but I think you are right that it could be one of the dolls.
Who Do You Want To Be The 5th Character in Ultra Street Fighter 4?

If you are fan of Street Fighter, then you will know that this weekend is probably the most important weekend of this year so far. Why? Because after months of teasing, dropping minuet hints, and good old Capcom trolling, the reveal of the fifth character, and the only new character, for Ultra Street Fighter 4 will finally be revealed at Atalanta, Georgia based fighting game tournament Final Round XVI. So far what is known about this mysterious character is very detailed but surprisingly still vague: The fifth character is a female who has never been in a SF game before but has been introduced in the Udon Street Fighter Comics. This has lead to a whirlwind of guess at who she is. So I turn to you all and ask who do you think the character is...or should be is if you had a choice? For me I have a pretty good idea who it is...a doll. Not a real doll mind you. A doll of the SF variety. Its a kind of a long story that involves the weirdness of SF's convoluted story.
The dolls come from Street Fighter Alpha 3 and were M.Bison's secret all female assassin squad. They were brainwashed teenagers, kidnapped from their homes, and had robotic-like emotions to only followed M.Bison's command. While there were 12 of them, two of them were boss characters in the original SFA 3 arcade game and finally playable in the home console ports, Juni and Juli. Both of them played similar to Cammy, who was also a doll but a special one because she was a clone of Bison...who whore a reveling outfit...and was about 16... look, SF's canon is bonkers as it is so let's stop with the history lesson.
So why do I think its a doll as the 5th character in USF4? For starters, Cammy has an expanded role in SF 4's story, the small fragments that exist mind you. Furthermore, in the Super Street Fighter 4's anime OVA, the dolls make a return as well as the two playable dolls, Juni and Juli, make cameo's in Cammy's and T.Hawk's endings in SSF4. Heck, even in Street Fighter X Tekken the doll's make a cameo. One time as a billboard advertisement and Christie's Swap costume is a based of the doll's costume. Also, former SF producer and full time Troll Yoshirio Ono dropped a hint via Twitter than the new character is very fast, a characteristic shared by all of the dolls.
Of course, while I'm certain its a doll, there's a quite a bit of holes in it. I mean the dolls weren't introduced in Udon comic. Nor have I read all of the comic so I don't know if there were some original characters that were introduced during the series that might also fit that description. There's another the possibility that all of the hints also could be for another famous non-playable character, Sarai. Sarai is a ninja and friend to Ibuki who's been seen around in her ending since her debut in SF 3. She's also veyr popular in the Udon comic and even had made a cameo in a SF X T background.
Well, I've talk a lot about who I think it is, probably a bit too much sorry, so I'll ask it you all. Who do you think it is the fifth character is? Or who would you like the fifth character to be? Feel free to leave your thoughts down below and make sure to tune into Final Round which will be starting in a few hours soon. Even if you don't care about Street Fighter, Final Round is a really great tournament to watch for great fighting game matches. Check Eventhubs and SRK for a stream.
