Look CvS 1 and CvS2 Capcom put much more charcters in it.
Well... first of all the capcom side was a matter of copy and paste.
Second the GGXX is in high res==more work+more resources==Less characters. Also there are NO pallette change type characters, everyone is uniquely different looking... so they couldn't cut corners there either.
Remember having more characters is NOT always a question of hardware limitations it's also a question of man power, finances, time. Capcom can cut corners on those things using old characters... but when they had to go to go totally new like SF3... look how many characters they got.... and they added them in increments (SF3 11 Characters, SF3:2nd 15 characters, SF3:3rd 20 characters)
Why? Well because they needed money to finance and further the project, you can't keep a game in development forever... you lose money and if you take too damn long the game can be quite outdated (Daikatana).
I think a cast over 12 is fine. Usually a smaller cast has more diversity, better graphics and animation, and usually a solid game play (see SF3).
Now look at MvC2.. tons of characters, tons of bugs, crappy graphics (big deal), and gameplay that can be quite random sometimes.
Now that may not be the best example... but like I've said before in other threads the character roster should be the LAST thing you think about. First you should look at the actual gameplay.

The biggest problem is, I think, a problem of creation. GGXX did a great thing with at least Bridgett and Zappa. The last really original character (gameplay-wise) I saw at Capcom or SNK was...

Makoto, maybe?
That doesn't mean they didn't create great characters, Angel is great for example, but she's still reusing the idea of that guy in Bloody Roar.
Then, on the other hand, you have Lin.

I tought that Maxima was an original character too (Autoguard based Character), but it is right, completely new things are hard to spot on the SNK/Capcom universe.
