Just thought I'd clarify so you don't get confused over it again, but none of the newcomers introduced in Beta 1.2 are actually starter characters. All characters revealed after Beta 1.0 (plus Sandbag) are confirmed to be unlockable in the final release of SSF2. If you saw McLeodGaming's Beta 1.2 release video, you'd see that all the unlockable characters, including Sandbag and Pichu, are temporarily unlocked for the duration of Beta 1.2, and they'll most likely be unlockable in 1.3. We refer to character availability here in the context of the final release, so please leave it as is.
