They should have refused to add the 3 new characters and kept all the backgrounds, better quality music, the endings and world tour mode. Or they should have used a larger cartridge, (8mb is far too small) this would have reduced the amount of bugs caused by the compression, and the time needed to program 3 additional characters and intensive compression techniques. It's a very butchered port and far from the original ideal of being a PSX faithful conversion. Most players would have been casual SF fans (I mean which hardcore SFA3 player is going to revere 4 button controls?) and would have already been overwhelmed by the basic character roster. No need for 3 more characters, get the basics right first. It could have been a true classic.
