They should have brought him back for later FF games as well as some KOF games. Even create a story line where he takes up kickboxing. One of my all time favorite characters.
i my self would like to see mickey rogers from art of fighting 2 to make an appearance in the newer fighting games. i think his move set fits very well with snk fighters more so then a generic boxer.
What about Rick Strowd from rbff2? I never understood why they didn't bring him into later kof games and/or battle colleseum. I guess at least they folded some of his moves into Vanessa
