Either SNKP or Capcom... Why Cheeseball characters?

I agree

I think Rock Howard and 'K would have been valuable additions (myself)

also I like your use of the word "droogs"

Clockwork Orange? heh heh

Why didn't SNKP just make CHOI as a playable character like his "Cool" STRIKER version in KOF 2000?

True frikkin' that! E-Choi rules. SNKP probably doesn't want a lawsuit against Freddy Kruger, that's always been my take on it.

I've gotta question some of this..

However, most USA players wouldn't know this at all, due to lack of storyline publications in the US and the fact that Poison didn't even EXIST in Final Fight One for the USA version.

Poison existed in every version except the US SNES and GBA versions. She was in the US arcade version, which came out quite some time before the censored US SNES version.

so when Final Fight 1 came to the US, they changed Poison and 'her' pallet swap, Roxy, into generic male punks, Billy and Sid, because censorship was high back then and they feared people wouldn't like the idea of hitting girls.

Change "came to the US" to "came to SNES".

Poison and Roxy in the planning stages of game were female. But a rep from Capcom USA told the developers in Japan that USA won't like guys hitting girls.

Lemme get this straight.

Capcom USA tells Capcom Japan that the US audience won't like people hitting women while the game is in development in what, like '87-88? Capcom J then sez, "Ok, they're trannies." Now, Capcom USA isn't supposed to know that she's a trannie and doesn't want to make the game have women characters in it, yet the game is distributed in US arcades with Poison intact? Doesn't that contradict itself? Then they remove her for a US SNES release, put her back in for a US SCD release, then remove her some 10 years later for a US GBA release?

Capcom USA could care less about Poison being beaten up, unless it's on a Nintendo console.
