Linn Kurosawa has to be one of the best female characters Capcom ever made... Too bad she was used for 1 game only (ok, 2. but background cameo really doesn't count, does it?). I wish Prof. included her in MvC3 AF joke...

Doh! Forgot about her SF3 onsen cameo... (although she wasn't really wearing her trademark armor) For some reason, things I remember most from that stage were those damn monkeys & fat sumo.
Btw, does anyone know if Linn Kurosawa was in SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters Clash for NeoGeo Pocket? I never picked that game up, so I don't know for sure...

Simone from Cannon Spike is based in her, they have exactly the same clothes and weapons (katana and SMG).
Oh, and she isn't in any of the two Card Fighters, sadly.

Linn has more moves already than any beat-em-up character I have ever seen. Besides her normal attack string (which is different if she has her sword or not), she has the jump kick, the jump slash, the midair throw kind of like Cammy's, the dashing slash, the foot sweep, the life-consuming super attack, and my favorite of all, the energy blast which knocks over all enemies in front of you. All that sounds like a good start for an awesome fighting game character.

Why Honda? Why did you have to ruin the beautiful stage? >_<
Anyway, yeah, Lin is a pretty cool character. If Capcom can make her in a fighting game, that would rock.

Lynn is pretty cool. I still say Ibuki,in a way,was a rip off of Lynn. But HEY! I love them both!

Capcom really needs to make the Gem Fighter sequel with Linn in it, and this time they should only use the gals... (although 'gief & Dan were pretty funny in the original)

Sadly, as much as I'd love to see her appear in new games, I doubt Capcom can freely use her in other games given that she appeared in a licensed product (AvP). That would explain why she hasn't appeared in other games, since Capcom is usually good about putting characters in games like the VS series (Why Jill is in MvC2...).

She had cameos in other games, so that theory's pretty much invalid.
Maybe Capcom just loves to tease the Linn fans, those cruel bastards

I'm pretty sure Satoshi is right. I remember hearing that the names Linn Kurosawa (possibly with different spelling) and Dutch Schaefer are copyrighted in the Aliens vs. Predator comics.
This means that Capcom would have the rights to the character designs (which are different from the character in the comic book) but not the name.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but it does make sense.

Then all they need is a simple name change.
Linn -> Lynn
Problem solved

That's why they created Simone in Cannon Spike, probably...

Changing one letter didn't stop Microsoft from suing "Lindows"... and I doubt you'd get very far with a new monster trading game called Pokeman.

Freeter: As Mosquiton said, your not going to get away with just changing one inital in the name. People have tried that before and failed...-.-
Actually I could be wrong, and Capcom could have total control over the Linn design. However her ties to the AvP world may keep her out of any games in active roll, given that she is tied to that world (and Capcom would have to pay to mention that). A cameo is okay, since it's just Linn doing nothing (thus no need to pay Fox any money...^^;;;)
Rid: Yeah, I have the feeling Simone was done to take the place of Linn. Though she has enough uniqueness to make a pretty cool design alone. Maybe she could be in a future VS game...

Dare I dream a game with both Linn & Simone? Guess Cammy can join them too...
