I can understand that same old, same old gets boring after so many games but don't completely disregard the basics that made the game in the first place.  Changing the fighting style and general outlook is fine but why the character so drastically?  I just don't get it.  

As for Tameen he shouldn't care because it isn't his series.  He is just employed to do a job and he is doing it as he deems fit but I have a sneaking suspicion that Capcom has done this to kill the series once and for all.
