artist opinions are what you want, eh? well here I go:
Jakki: Looks interesting, might want her shoulders look the same (in 2D the bare should will keep jumping when she turns, make both shoulders bare or covered to avoid such), try doing more with her hair, she looks too much like Morigan with an eye-patch. I like her look, very ninja meets tight fitting cat suit clad secert agent girl. Overall, it's nice.
Courtney: Looks too much like a female Fokker/Falcon... this might be what your going for but she needs more work so she can become more then just "Fokker with boobies". Has potential.
Mira-Han: This must be "Fan Service" no? You need to tone her down a bit, I see elements of Mai, Chun, and Lei-Lei in her, blend together more. The asian half of me I thought would be offend by this character isn't, I think I'd like it if worked on more.
Iris: HAHA! I'm working on comic "trilogy" as of now and the third "series" has a girl named Iris, I drew her cosplaying as Johnny from GGX and it looked a lot like this picture... for people with such conflicting views, T.E., we seem to think too alike at times... Great design, although the top might be over done a bit.
Virgo: Too much like R.Mika, change her hair style and she might work... don't make her blue toned if you can avoide it.
Over all: draw them in some other poses, trying drawing them in a front, profile, and side view so you can better detail the costumes. Work on making them look truely orginal, to quote Bruce Lee, "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own" in other words, boil characters you want to base yours on down to their bare essence, take that and build up on it (I do this for most of my orginal characters, maybe I'll post them someday and have some sort of "guess the orgins" game)

Thanks everyone,I'll give Virgo a different style/color scheme if I can.
Dr.B: Thanks! I love honest criticism and compliments.  Your comments are appreciated. Yeah,it's weird how some minds think alike on some stuff.

....well first of all, is it an all-female fighter? cause if so, thats pretty (my opinion) bad. unless there was some catch.
To make a great game you need to appeal to all people. meaning all types of characters.
A great game need males and females, badguys and villians too. I could go on why it would'nt be so good. But I will stop there.
....again. unless there is a catch to why there is only females, then thats fine.(or if there is males but you did'nt draw them, yet.)
------------------------------
next, I have been making and studying fighting games for about 4-5 years now, and To make a fighter using those characters would be alright. If the game does infact get created, It would'nt really stand out amoung the rest of the crowd.
Street fighters (non-weapon fighting games) have been done to death now, plus there are fighting game legends such as king of fighters, tekken, street fighter and more...out there.
People (at least that I know) would like to see more original characters.
(my opinion: the perfect fighting cast is someware between the crazy-bizaar designs of guilty gearXX/darkstalkers , and king of fighters/samurie showdown.)
I've talked enough. Im sorry for "picking" on you, but its this type of opinion/criticism that helps. (happend to me).

Good point. I guess 2-D fighters have been done to death in every aspect.
Maybe I'll make it a side-scroller weapon/fighter.
And don't worry,I'm not even finished with everything else yet.
OH! And Fou-Lo! (sorry if spelled wrong) THANKS!! You were a big help!
