With SSARS out now and sega superstars tennis its pretty obvious that there is a big difference between the number of male to female characters and i just think it seems kind of unbalanced.

Here's a list of female characters i can think of off hand:

Ulala- likely the best female character sega has.

Mimi- a clone of Aiai nothing special

Amy- I can't relate to her at all and I don't really know why she is there half the time

Bayonetta- should be used in more games

Amiga: *shakes tambourine*

Linda- I think she has a cool character design

Various Virtua Fighter girls- Where are they?

Zobiko- to have more releases on different games i think the game she's in should be translated first - do it please.

So what do you guys think? Should there be more girl characters added to future All/Superstar games and if so which ones?
It basically stems from the way Asia views women. Women are still viewed as lessers in the eastern societies and the gaming market naturally stems this... To be honest, the game only displayed a few of the token females rather than having a decent helping of estrogen. It's the same argument that flared up in Smash Bros Brawl but until Japanese women decide to have suffrage, it wont be changing anytime soon.

Well the I also agree with you Zanger, as I also think that the character which he has shown here its really looking like western girl character. But I assusme that it will never change or any effect on anything through this.
What is with these large form of trolls here :X
most deff
Doesn´t the game already have enough girls in it? Besides there are less people(talking mainly about men) who want to play with a girl in a video game. Sure there are games like Metroid, Tomb Raider, and Bayonetta in which the protagonist is a woman but besides these there aren´t a lot of other women taking the leading part in games and still make it possible to be a good game.
AND women are most often in games just helpless chicks which need a man to get saved or sex bombs with ridicously huge boobs and nice asses.
