Dr B: Psht! It's the same with Ryu and Chun,people like them,and people hate them. Besides,they're pracitcally always represented and they're boring to death already.
Anyway,my picks(you guys may think these unfair)
Capcom: Cammy,Talbain,MegaMan and Strider
SNK: Kula,Billy Kane,Vanessa,Geese
Yes! Cammy needs a new sprite so badly!

Is this who SHOULD be the mascot, or who WOULD be the mascot? If the latter, Ryu or Megaman are rather high contenders for capcom, though IMHO neither look very good as mascots for a company (note: That has nothing to do with whether or not they're good characters. They just don't seem like the type of character to be a mascot)
Typically when I think of mascots, I think of something that's cute or has attitude (neither Megaman nor Ryu are 'badass' type characters, and Kyo seems too... heroic). Reiko for Namco, Sonic for Sega, Mario for Nintendo (well, Mario lives in a whimsical world, at least...)
...the Dolls are cute. :P
...ah well. Oreo. *is yanked off comp by family*

In the Nakoruru OAV thread, I expressed my dislike of her and her status as the main female mascot for SNK. So, I want to hear other people's choices for the male and female mascots/spokespeople for SNK and Capcom. As for me:
SNK: Kyo and Athena, these two are the center of SNK, if you ask me.
Capcom: Ryu and Cammy. Cammy's kind of iffy, especially with her current sprite, but IMO Capcom has a horrid lack of awesome female characters. She needs a friggin' sprite redraw!
Kyo can suck donkey nuts. Terry is THE male icon of SNK. Always has been, always will be.
Female icon is Mai, no doubt. Rival of Chun-li, and the first prominent fanservice female in a fighting game. Athena wishes she could achieve such status.
Capcom's mascots...Megaman and Chun-li. Megaman helped bring Capcom to the limelight, and Chun-li made headlines as the first female ever in a fighting game.
DoA girls in bikinis? Count me in!

Can you identify Yashichi and Mobichan please?
Mobichan is the SD version of the Mobile Armor of a shooting game released in 87, Side Arm. It began as a secret item and then became a mascot of Capcom, appearing in many places (cursor when you select "arcade/VS/Option" in a street fighter, victory sign when you win with a chouhatsu in SFZero2, etc.)
Yashichi is a thingie that looks like a wheel red and white. It appeared in the first Capcom arcade game, Bargas (spelling?). It appeared as a secret bonus in many games after that (maybe in the first G&G? it worthed 5000 points if I remember well) and in a few fighting as a cursor, a victory mark in Zero2 (after two draw games, I think) or a password item in Warzard.
For example, Yashichi appeared at a frequency of 1/256 as a anki of Leilei in Savior (but in the Saturn version, if you changed certain settings and her color, it could drop to 48/256, or 3/16).
