Udon actually started with the Alpha story first, then they worked on SFII. So I think they were just going in order. It looks like now they'll be cycling through the SFII: Turbo, SF3, and SF Legends: Chun Li comics each month when they start releasing comics again Summer 2008, but that's probably just them trying not to make people wait months on end for a new issue like before. You're still right about SF2 being more popular than SF3 though.
I'm not sure about their 50's. But I'd love seeing Ryu with new moves post-Oro training. And who'd to say that a SF3 sequel will have everyone in their 50s? SF3 takes place only 5 years after SF2.I really don't understand the qqing about the number at all. Does it matter at all? And in all honesty, do you think other people wanted to play as SF2 characters in their fifties? I surely don't. I'd rather have them make up a brand new cast instead of that.
I also agree that the numbering is a stupid thing to complain about. Capcom knows that the SF4 name alone will get more people interested than SF Beta or whatever and they're smart to use it to get more players. It does irk me a little that this game isn't following the numbering scheme that has already established. Numbered games for actual SF tournaments with non-tournament games having some sort of subtitle, but we'll all live as long as the game is good at the end.
