Speaking of ridiculous designs; I'm just going to be upfront and say that Rufus from SFIV is a way more fun and interesting character concept compared to Kung-fu Balrog. Rufus is a fat, loudmouthed idiot, but he had this goofy charm to his character that I couldn't help but like, or at least feel that he was unique enough to keep around. I keep seeing this "King Cobra" thing being brought up and shilled as "The character we should have had" and he's just some bald black guy. Then, in the videos down below that, there'll be like 3 vids talking about how Abel failed because he was too bland.
Also I just realized that they more or less combined the two into SFV Birdie, and that's somehow worse than either one of the original two by themselves.

Seeing the view numbers on fatality compilation videos makes me think that a fair number of unfortunately unattended youths are going to wind up with a guro fetish. But you're right, I think that having a gory dismemberment of your opponent serve as the highlight of a game makes people more likely to focus on that rather than the gameplay.
