Street Fighter 's playable characters originate from different countries around the world, each with his or her own unique fighting style.

Capcom revealed that some of the "Street Fighter V" characters did not make the cut for the fighting game's new roster. "Street Fighter V" rejected characters are speculated to appear in "Street Fighter 6." 

"Street Fighter V" fans are curious on who else will be added to the game's roster after the critical success of its release. While Capcom's title is known for the unique and appealing renditions of its characters; there are those that did not make it to the final lineup despite the perfection that some characters possessed.

The "Street Fighter V" characters that did not make it went all over the web. Some characters were rendered comedic and sometimes senseless. One of the most notable creations is a man wearing an all-white suit with swept hair and deep eyes called the Fighting President.

The "Street Fighter V" Fighting President was said to have also been a rejected idea back in "Street Fighter IV." Reportedly, the idea was seen to be very distant from the existing story line and serves no purpose.

There is a female character who also did not make it to the official cast, Destructoid reported. She was dressed in patched up rags and as she fights, her clothes detach from her, causing her to strip little by little.

The "Street Fighter" series is known for some slightly over sexually designed characters in the past. There were some, however, that are said to be appealing at first sight. One design is a dark armored fighter who resembles that of the scfi icon Predator that has no back story yet. 

Meanwhile, "Street Fighter V" fans can witness the world championship match as ESPN2 will broadcast the live game. The sports network's affiliation with Evolution Championship Series is an e-Sports tournaments move.

ESPN2 launched its own e-Sports segment earlier this year. The segment was created to wholly set focus on professional gaming. ESPN2 confirmed the world championship of "Street Fighter V" on July 1. On July 17, the event will take place in Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center at 10 p.m. ET, Game N Guide reported. Watch "Street Fighter V" video for more roster members:
