There Are Them Street Fighters In Power Rangers: Legacy Wars... WTF

So, first off... I already did the Street Fighter/Power Rangers crossover ages ago. Actually, I did it TWICE. Once in a comic form and another in a prose fanfic form that mocked the whole idea.

Now that we've got that out of the way... um, yeah, why is this even a thing?

Look, I dig the Legacy Wars game. I didn't think I would because of the lack of single-player experience and the chances of having to be online all the time means I won't be playing this thing on long road trips, but it's a fun little diversion regardless. That having been said, I don't know why this game needed Street Fighter characters to "spice up" the roster when you still have a whole bunch of pre-existing Rangers, grunts, villains, and whatnots that still haven't got a chance to shine.

I'm sure somewhere down the line, I might make a grab at one or two of them if they're not that out of reach, but really, why is this even a thing?
