Sounds like it’s trying too hard to be “mature” and “hardcore”. “I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself.” It’s like how current Mature rated games are targetted towards tweens and teens while older people still play Pokemon with all that indepth IV, EV, and competitive moveset stuff. Also the story sounds so generic it comes off as corny so in a sense it’s just ridiculous more so than Hakan.
With Street Fighter, the target demographic back then were kids and teens. How the canon was developed was closer to Japanese comics that targeted the young males of the generation, also known as Shonen manga. It seemed natural for SF to take the Alpha route and become anime-esque because it was a sort of natural progression in Japan (although not apparent to the westerners.) Then how Udon takes the canon of the series and puts its interpretation on Street Fighter, it still comes off as a shonen manga. Street Fighter is without the need of superficial nity-grity, grimdark trash. I believe that that most people in the West are just nostalgia-goggled by their own faulty interpretation of SF truly was back in the 90s, although not intentional as it couldn’t be helped (no one actually knew the story, as the material wasn’t in the games to an extent).
How is it trying too hard? Sagat lost his eye after SF1, was that Capcom trying too hard to be mature? I’d rather they try too hard then, than add goofy shit for the sake of it being goofy.
Looks like someone has never heard of shades of gray. Nobody, except an idiot said anything about SF being Mature. I dunno even know what the fuck that even means, just hate Hakan because he takes shit to a new level of gay. If you can’t get that there are diverging degree’s of absurdity then you are an idiot.
Wearing skeletons from the deceased children of his tribe is supposed to be goofy now? Let alone comparable to that example my man just posted? Lol, you are reachin’ hard now. Also, Dhalsim didn’t get his powers from hot curry. Not gonna get into all the nuances of SF plot. But, comparing little factoid from a characters backstory to staple moves that are being presented in a trailer as a joke no less, is retarded.
Seems like a lot of homophobia in here and it makes you all feel uncomfortable with your sexuality and how is a basketball reference makes it more gay?
Wouldn’t the real idiots be the ones who get angry for someone having a different opinion and resort to childish name calling?
Differences of opinion don’t involve redefining terms my nigga. Hakan is goofy, matter of fact not opinion. Unless you flew in from dodo land and that’s kosher. I mean aren’t Hakan fans the ones who made this thread wanting to know why their character is hated on. Well, there you have it. Don’t get butt hurt because you don’t like the dissenting opinions.
if you need a reason why everyone hates hakan i would look into the cooking oil rubbing.
SF is turning into a huge fucking joke. in SF4 i thought the retard faces people made while getting hit with certain ultras ( shin shoryuken ) where kind of funny. but this shit is a whole new level of fucking homo.
that being said i will be maining this retard just to get people pissed. plus next to vega nothing is more embarassing then losing to a oil covered homo.
To me he looks about as retarded as the game he’s in. It’s fitting.
Anyway you can’t tell me you love every single SF char in SF history (don’t lie), what’s one more bomb going to do. Get over it.
But personally if Akuma was introduced in SSF4 for the first time in SF history I’d think he was about as wacky/silly/stupid/looney-tunes as Hakan. Hell I would think Dan > Akuma. Red glowing eyes, spikey DBZ hair with a vertical pony tail puff, and that fucking Ultra? HAH.
It’s like I said, the series isn’t even serious anymore. How is it Blanka went from this savage fucking beast in SF2, to this goofy ass green gorilla we got in the Alpha series and now SF4? SF3 was a step in the right direction, then Capcom went backwards.
Seriously, a fucking arab guy who covers himself in oil and gropes and 69s you as an ultra? Wtf Capcom? Maybe next Zangief can have an ultra where he drinks vodka and pisses all over you.
