True, but you can see elements of SFA a lot too, I had overlooked it I will be honest, the SF2V was just to say how much better Udon have gone about it, SFA I used for the whole Gouken/Akuma/Ryu plot, but as you say the Bison plot is very much combined with SF2.
Superman/Batman

To tell you the true right now I’m too lazy to read all that. But people with simalar complants I have said to wait. Its only issue #5. I have been collecting comics since the early 90’s and know that it takes more than a few issues to bild a great story. And for the fact that alltogether comics are struggling, I think SF has done very well. I needed a big bang from the start, once it reached its audeunce Udon can spend more time in developing the story.
EDIT: In further reading you guys really wanna talk comics. Well right now DC is kicking the crap out of Marvel. I mean just look at the titles and the sales. The Jim Lee hype alone puts DC over Marvel by far. Marvel relasing the same zombie titles. The only one I get from Marvel is Spec. Spider-man, cause Ramous is a beast. For that guy who posted all the titles that Sf does’nt compare to, he obviously does’nt know comics.
Marvel comic is crap right now. Only comic im following from them is wolverine in “The End”. For DC, I was following the superman/batman team up, but so far that comic is getting boring. Im still waiting for something good to come out from marvel and DC and so far nothing. After the onslaught incident from marvel, i just gave up on them. Only SF comic is what im interested in, other wise marvel and DC is lame. Just look at the art for both companies. Back in the 90s almost every comic book that came out for marvel and DC had bad ass art, but now there art is crap.:bluu:
Man, I really felt sad reading that post. The comic tanking after 2 more issues?! Despite my opinions, its because of the street fighter comic that I’ve actually REALLY followed a comic book. (trying to get all the covers etc)
Well, i dunno about some people but Im sure some of us here are a tad dissapointed at the way things are going right now. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN WE ARENT SATISFIED. if the comic didnt satisfy me I wouldnt be looking foreward to it so much STILL. I dont think theres a single post in this forum here that says “crap this sux. Im not buying issue 8 now.” But instead, the ratio of people here saying that they LOVE what you guys are doing to those who have theyr ‘opinions’ about the comic is quite obvious.
Hope none of this is treated as discouragement. If that was felt, then the whole objective of me starting this thread in the first place has een ruined. I wanted the comic to get better (if possible), not intice people to give the impression that “you guys suck”. And of course you guy obviously DONT.
Theres been so much encouragement for you guys on this board. if this comic’s a dream to you guys, its definitely a dream to us fans too. Keep up the good work, MAYBE you can look at some of the critisism on this board and MAYBE u can keep some of it. but you guys SHOULD look at the encouragement and still be proud that what u guys are doing will definitely go down in history.At least in our books.
I’d write this off as fans chomping at the bit. Everybody wants to see this do well, and street fighter means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, so naturally, people react differently.
Just like it’s been said, they have to set up the universe, and while certain parts of the story seems a little uneven, they’re doing their thing and I have nothing but respect for that. Another thing is that people here scrutinize everything. A lot of shit that others wouldn’t notice. Let Udon do what they’re doing, guys. They’re doin it right.
Bottom line; you guys really should have faith in Udon. They had the balls to do a SF comic and listen to what people want from it. Erik Ko, the fucking HEAD GUY, comes here EVERYDAY to see how we feel about this comic, answer our questions, and talk with us. That is not the norm, guys. That’s not done in damn near any industry, yet it’s happening here. How can you not have faith that they want this to be the best that it can be?
You guys need to be a bit more realistic about some of this and Marinate on all that’s been said here before you reply.
I get your point, but when they come here to see how we feel about the comic, are they supposed to only hear whats good about it?
Indeed, that udoneko should hear about the bad side of the SF comic series too besides the good part. I for one is waiting for the Ryu/Ken vs. akuma fight, if that fight turns out horrible, then ill give udon a piece of my mine, but well have to wait and see.
I think what really hurt Udoneko wasn’t the criticism about the comic so much as Time_Stop blatantly implying that they were in it only for the money.
Yeah, i was just about to say… Time_stop. You’re a damn asshole.
Of course, Udoneko can take some criticism, but how about advice on how to make the comic BETTER instead of just beating the shit out of it? I personally like it, and if you dont, you can be more tact about how you feel about it. Be helpful.
What makes you think I was talking to you?
Yeah, I think we all should try to be more constructive. Personally, I’m tired of Ken, Ryu, and Akuma but it is a story that needs to be told and it looks like it will be done well. Me…? Issue 8.
THUUUUNDER HAAAAWK!!!
i try speaking on behalf of those who MIGHT be misunderstood.
personally i’ve been buying SFII because of nostalgia and chun-li as eye-candy lol. but you know what? bad art=not worth the purchase. hello, Malibu’s chun-li! and sometimes art that you aren’t used to can grow on you, with an exciting enough storyline. hello, Kanzaki’s chun-li!
but udon has a nice mix of both art and plot for me so far. yep chun li has her glam shots, and they are awesome - but i would like to see even more plot development from her - i’m glad she’s going to hong kong soon and doing her thang.
and i think the best subplot so far is the sakura one - she’s not my fave character, but udon has been quite faithful in not letting that plot die, and it provides a bit of comedy relief in a fighting series that could get very heavy handed if not careful - like Buffy did when they lost the wit. (ah cmon guys you know i’m not the only one who liked buffy!)
so all in all, they might be drawn in initially by the novelty, or the awesome covers, but ultimately they will stay because of the engrossing storylines and art inside. congrats to udon because i think they are going down the right road!
Udoneko - In the beginning, I’ll admit that I read things about the storyline that upset me, but being the big Fan of SF that I am I still got SF issue Zero. I was easily won over and have been a huge fan of the comic book since, and it has grown to be my favorite comic book. As a hard core SF Fan, I really don’t think there is anyone that’s a bigger fan of SF than I am. And as someone who contributes to the Online SF Plot Guide when I can, I do understand that the comic can never be exactly like the game’s storyline because it is EXTREMELY CONVULUTED.
Anyway, most of he opinions here I feel are positive, it’s just that the Negative comments seem to stand out more. But, it’s the Internet and people always complain about something on the Net while meanwhile in real life they are getting the same exact thing they are complaining about tattooed on their Ass.
Hope you don’t abandon us, and I’ll support your comic as best as I can!
