That would make the most sense, honestly. I know Capcom back in SFZ2 essentially made Genoa Venice - every single detail IS Venice except for the Columbus statue and the Santa Maria sailing in the background -, but they should just go with it and directly make Venice's Grand Canal. Damn, I can recognise every building of that concept... If they ever do it, that would become my favourite stage ever.
 
There's no need to do that, but the problem is...
...I actually regularly did that, but pre-formatting the text for the SRK forums, so I should remove all of the old tags... Not to mention the fact that the images are in their own folders. Maybe it's time to seriously think about that blog idea, considering I keep finding out things.
The last one is so huge I almost didn't believe  my eyes: the manga where Capcom took moves for Gen, Lee, Yun and Yang from... And Sega for Virtua Fighter's Akira Yūki, Lion, Shun Di, Pai, Lau... Namco for Tekken's Michelle, Julia and Wang... Oh, and Akira Kazama. Her name, design AND martial art.

@Dragonfave723First of all great avatar, secondly your point about he unused concept is a damned good one. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the Rose stage we get. Since they had already planned it initially. It makes sense that they'd go with something they started on by declined to finish.

What about this stage concept which was revealed 4 years ago? The developers said back then that they wouldn't make this without having an Italian character in the game.

Ooook, I don't have time now for all these shenanigans, but I'll figure out how to archive some of the older SRK posts here. Maybe. Also, Lord Vega and bakfromon should absolutely be here somehow.

Falke
 
She uses staff techniques, trained using Psycho Power.
Her bond with Ed comes from the fact that both have relations with Shadaloo.
Her name (codename) means “hawk” in German.
And here’s her command list!
 

 
Name: Falke
Height: 176cm
Weight: 54kg
Blood type: A
Birthday: May, 25
Home Country: Unknown
Favorite things: Milk Tea, Theatre
Dislikes: Shadaloo
Fighting Style: Psycho Power and Bōjutsu
 


 
She has the ability to inject Psycho Power into her staff,
called “Harmony”, and then shoot it.
Her ability to shoot Psycho Power instantaneously
is lower compared to Ed and Bison,
but she can charge and increase the power.
She was confined in a Shadaloo’s laboratory and piled up loads of training.
She’s a perfectionist, and deals with everything scrupulously.
She’s well-versed in house chores and cooking, and is unexpectedly family-oriented.
 
“Harmony” represents the harmony between Falke and Psycho Power.
She has several books,
and always thinks about the best strategy and tactics according to the situation.

Dirk
 
A close friend of Rick, who uses metal claws like him.
A silent worker who came from Mexico to the US.
 

 
Name: Dirk
Height: 195cm
Weight: 94kg
Blood Type: A
Birthday: May, 11

Rick maintains his beloved metal claws.
Apparently, he sends all his allowances to his family.
He hates alcohol,
because he remembers his father caused an accident while drunk.
 
 
¹ This so reminded me of Dexter’s laboratory…

Well, both Final Fight 3 and Tekken came out in 1995, so it's very unlikely. May is more of a Cammy bootleg, as they used almost the same animation for her Frankensteiner that Cammy had in SSF2. Capcom always recycled itself.

May
 
No one expects such a cool beauty
to be a violent gang member.
Her specialties are knife attacks and the Frankensteiner.
 

 
Name: May
Height: 170cm
Weight: It’s a secret
Blood Type: 0
Birthday: January, 28
Country of Origin: France
Favorite things: Holidays, Baths
Dislikes: Haggar
 
She ostensibly works as a dancer,
but is also an assassin, specialised in knives.
They say that her favourite pastime is washing away the blood of her victims.
She never actually learnt wrestling,
but uses her skills as a dancer to compensate
and is somehow able to do some moves.
