More ideas:

1) Fatalities - Well if Capcom decides to do this, I wouldn't make them
   gory like MK.  I'd do the exact opposite and make them humorous.  So
   when you're beaten you feel stoopid as if you've just been finished
   off by Honda's aerial short - the infamous butt squash.  Argh!!!
   Argh!!!  Argh!!!  Argh!!!  Uh anyways, and instead of calling them
   fatalities, call them stupidities.  Picture the machine saying "bonus
   for stupidity".  That'd be great.

2) Ideas for new characters:

   Rockwell from USA.  An MIB.  MIB is an acronym for Men In Black.
   They are regarded as "mystery men" who always wear black suits, black
   ties, and dark shades.  They are believed to be agents of Illuminati
   (a secret society bent on gaining knowledge and world domination) or
   even aliens from outer space disguised as humans.  The most probable
   theory though is that they are government agents sent to different
   places to "cover up" incidents or to "hush" people up.  He would
   have a fighting style similar to Guile's.  Imagine a guy wearing a
   suit, a tie, and shades with slicked back hair razor kicking Ryu at
   the base of a waterfall.  Cool ain't it.  Just like Vega's claw,
   you can knock off his shades.

   A Masai warrior from the Serengeti.  This guy's background would be
   the coolest without a doubt.  The sun setting on the timeless
   African svelte with acacia trees far off into the horizon and rocky
   kopje's jutting out here and there.  With herds of zebras and
   wildebeasts running around.  Not too sure what his martial art would
   look like, probably one that employs low stances (for stealth on the
   plains).

   Mac from USA.  An obese biker with boots, chains, leather jacket, and
   a scraggly looking beard and a lewd tattoo that says "mother".  His
   scene could be a grungy smoke filled tavern.  With an all out free for
   all no holds barred anything goes barroom brawl taking place in the
   background.  Imagine a guy getting his head rammed in and out of a
   jukebox for 99 seconds, or a guy getting bashed with a poolstick.  For
   a real riotous time, have someone get thrown out the front window
   (they could only do this once though).  For obvious reasons this
   background would have the most animation.

   Pierre from France.  Just your average suave and debonair Frenchman
   who specializes in savate (a style that employs lots of kicks).  He'd
   wear a red and white horizontally striped shirt and a beret.  His scene
   could be in front of one of those artsy boardwalk cafes with the Eiffel
   tower in the background.  Plus there'd be hordes of women watching him.
   And yeah, you'd be able to knock off his beret too.  The music for this
   background would have to be one of those "I wanna sex you up" saxophone
   solos.  Ah, gay Paree.

   Hipolyta from the Amazon.  The legendary race of warrior women does
   exist.  Heh heh.  A real buxom brunette with bikini type fur skin
   wrappings.  And make her hair real long with that wild, I need to be
   tamed, unkept look.  Her scene would be somewhere in the Amazon jungle
   with lots of vines, greenery, and orchids.  And have macaques howling
   and panthers growling in the background.  I have no ideal what her
   martial art would look like though.

   Fu Sheng from China.  A Shaolin monk.  Obviously his background would
   be a Shaolin temple.  It'd be cool if they made him bald too.  Just
   watch them old reruns of "Kung Fu" with David Carradine.

   Cynthia from Rumania.  The dark-haired gypsy look.  She doesn't have
   a known martial art per se, but she can be a real spitfire and give
   any man a run for his money.  Her background would show the nomadic
   life with horses and carriage homes.  With a central campfire and a
   bunch of other gypsies holding musical instruments.

   Grog from the Ice Age, discovered in the Arctic tundra.  A neanderthal
   trapped in suspended animation in a block of ice discovered by
   scientists during an expedition.  Due to the progresses made in
   cryogenics, they are able to revive him.  Well o.k., maybe I'm
   starting to get out of hand.

   Other possibilities could be hillbilly from Kentucky (similar to
   Zangief), an Indian from the Patagonia, and an Aborigine or
   Crocodile Dundee type from Australia.

3) Bonus stages before each fight.  Someone had already mentioned this,
   I just figure I'd mention it too.
