Street Fighter: The AWOL Files

There are World Warriors that have yet to step into that ring!

Colonel Wolfman

First Appearance: Super Street Fighter II (Arcade, 1993)

Last Seen: Street Fighter IV (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3/PC, 2009)

I’ll never forget the first time I beat Super Street Fighter 2 with Cammy. In her ending a whole squad of characters was shown and they all looked awesome. One in particular looked the coolest to me and I could just tell that he was the leader of Cammy’s M16 squad, Delta Red. I always assumed that he would be added to the Street Fighter roster one day. Why wouldn’t he? Why go to all the trouble of designing such a cool-looking character and never actually do anything with him?

But that’s the weird thing—Capcom never did anything with him, or the rest of Delta Red for that matter. In fact, I didn’t even know the character had a name until I started researching this piece. I would wonder to myself, “Who is this man and what moves would he have?” I imagined him as being Scottish with a big Claymore blade like Conner Macleod in the first Highlander movie. Oh, he would kick so much ass, my mystery Scottish special agent.

Of course, thanks to his brief appearance in Cammy’s prologue and ending cinematic for Street Fighter IV, we know that he’s British like she is, but not much more than that. He appears in the Udon comic adaptation of Street Fighter and is depicted as somewhat of a mentor to Cammy. He doesn’t display any super powers like some of the other Street Fighter characters, but that makes him somewhat of a blank slate for Capcom to work with. If he ever appeared in a Street Fighter game, he could be a completely original and unique character.

Dan's Dad is my favorite. He would be great as an unlockable or DLC character.

I Like Guy's Sensei. The only thing more badass than Guy would be the one who trained him.

Has Capcom fleshed out the story on Dan's dad? I can imagine Dan's dad being just as campy as his son. He stands up to Sagat, Sagat doesn't take him seriously, Dan's dad throws a lucky hit, taking out his eye...

I'd also like to see a bizarre creature like Blanka in the mix. He could use a rival...

For some reason, I generally use Sakura. I also enjoyed the fellow in Street Fighter EX 3 who could "pop" hadouken like things a long distance away out of no where.

Really digging Retsu and Gunloc. I would love to see them in a Street Fighter game. Kempo has not appeared in Street Fighter and although there's other wrestlers already, maybe Gunloc can be all sports entertainment like in his move set.

@Jesse and Mongoose: If they put Dan's dad in there, I'd like to see him be a total badass, and stoic like a samurai. He would be totally disappointed in his son, and he'd be the typical overly dramatic Japanese father figure that you see in so much fiction. Having an Akuma-style Instant Hell Murder attack would be a must.

@Jason Sakura is a great character in SF IV. I almost put Karin from Alpha 3 on this list, as I have a special place in my heart for her, but Alpha 3 is a little too "recent" compared to these other characters.

@Esteban: Yeah, I've always wanted an over-the-top, WWE type of wrestler in Street Fighter. Zangief using wrestling moves, but I've always seen him as more of a real wrestler than a pro wrestler. They tried to do something flashy with Rainbow Mika, but I just hate that character.

I barely consider Mika a wrestler. She just threw her butt at everyone.
