It was pretty much the beta version, they released it incomplete to make more money. Its the same thing they do today.

It was even worse originally. Ryu and Ken weren't even on it. IT did get quite better though, but 3rd Strike needed to keep all the previous versions stages.

Because at the time releasing a game with too many new characters would lead to players feeling overwhelmed, ten is already a lot, especially for someone completely new to SF. With games especially in the arcade you need to balance the barrier of entry with the complexity of the game. SF's philosophy is basically having 'generations' where 3 came out with many new players in mind and they were expected to follow the series from there.
