Boskonovitch (SPOILER)died in Tekken 5. Kunimitsu was in Tag Team and Tekken 2. Gon wasn't a serious character, he wasn't even original. He was from a manga in Japan.
EDIT: Kunimitsu was probably removed due to her uselessness. She was almost the exact same thing as Yoshimitsu, only she weilded Kunai (I think) and was a girl. I still liked using her, though.
You know Tekken and Soul Calibur really should have some online play, It's obvious that both of them want it.In Tekken 5 Arcade mode they have you ranking up levels and competing against customized CPU with their own usernames.
In SCIII the World Competition mode does the same thing too, with the exception of ranking your characters up and also ift would be unique to show off some of your created characters, same goes for Tekken 5 Tekken 5 could've made fully customizeable characters, but they probably would've ened up like SC's creation mode, it lacked weight, height, not enough variation of hairstyles and the details were sub par, but still these two games deserve to have an online mode.

What's your username on the game, I'm known as Chocobo feather.

Tekken 5 in Japan has online ranking at arcades. The cards also allow you to make and join clans which is better than what the rest of the world has (recording win/loss ratio).
I'm sure the next installments of both series will have an online mode. I look forward to it, but I'll always prefer playing at arcades. The sense of community is always stronger if there's face-to-face interaction.
Kunimitsu in Tekken 1 was just a palette swap for Yoshimitsu. They had the exact same moves and you couldn't even tell Kunimitsu was female. It wasn't made clear until Tekken 2, when she had kunai and hooters that she was more than just a funny looking Yoshi with a different name.
She was among the many characters said to have "died" between Tekken 2 and 3 because of Ogre (Toshin). She was in Tag (a non-canonical game) and had a whole new moveset and it looked like she was starting to build up into a unique character in her own right (Lee's movelist evolved from Law's much the same way) but she was excluded from Tekken 5, the game that seemed to bring back all the supposedly "dead" characters (Baek, Bruce, Wang, Anna etc.)
I didn't really like the create-a-character option in SC3. I didn't like SC3 at all really. I play fighters to beat up people so the weak movelists of all the created characters didn't really suit me. But by then I was already disappointed enough at the game for not being available at arcades. As far as I know, SC3:Arcade isn't being released outside of Japan. Even if it was released here, the characters have probably been balanced out enough so that I can't do 3/4 life juggles with Cassandra anymore. [ 4(A), 6AAA, 3B, 3K, 236AB. breakable stun but a good noob killer. ]
Ogre should of had a deeper character, I was was always interested in that.
As a note for online stuff: Virtua Fighter 5 (dethroning VF4 as best fighting game ever) on PS3 will support VF.Net that is used in arcades. I tinkered around with it when I went to Japan (I still have my access card, hope it works on PS3) and it's pretty freakin' awesome. VF4's was similar I'm sure, but that's a few years old already.
I'm not sure if it will have head-to-head fighting online (the arcade one doesn't as far as I've seen), but there is a *lot* of other stuff you can do. I didn't explore much of Tekken 5's online stuff, but even VF4's online stuff (a game that's a few years older) was more extensive. VF5 blows it away completely.
DOA4 has been doing online pretty well since it came out. Lag is uncommon, but it handles it in an interesting way. The entire game slows down so that both sides are seeing the same thing at the same time. It's definitely weird, but better than missing a counter or reversal because of lag.
Online for any 3D fighter can work if they can figure out a way to deal with lag. Latency will be a problem in any online game for a long time, so unless they are waiting for everyone to have 1gb/s transfer speeds to have real online fighters, they have to work around it.
Tekken 6 wont.
I'd love to play people here at Tekken 5. Simply because i've never been defeaten before *rubs that dirt off his shoulder*. No seriously the characters i play with are Paul, Yoshimitsu, Lee, Jin, Kazuya, Azuka, & Xiaoyu.
Str8 Pimpin'
Devil, Kazuya, Ogre, and Yoshimitsu ftw.
Lei, Law, Kazuya, Bryan and Sergei are my prefered team.
I dont get smug most of the time, but you'll have a tough time beating me with Lei or Sergei, just saying....
I don't like Tekken enough to have characters, but when I play Soul Calibur I'm Mitsurugi, Taki, or Setsuka.
Tekken 5 when I play I'm usually Raven, though I've spent a bit of time with Bryan and the new guy in DR.
SC I'm best with Kilik, Raphael or Setsuka
Mitsurugi is awesome. I also tend to use Seigfried and Yoshimitsu in SC.
Cassandra is the best character in Soul Caliber, with Voldo and Seung Mi Na following.
