Forgotten characters

JOHNNY CAGE IS NOT AFRAID TO DIE!

[media=youtube]nDzST1vtpEk[/media]

Are you kidding me? Guy was in CFJ and both were in Final Fight Streetwise (lol :confused:). How could they be forgotten when they’re the main characters of a franchise?

What do you mean?

He should be, lol :looney:

uhhhhh, r u srs?

cfj doesnt exist to me lol. and i havent even heard of that ff till 2 weeks ago lol. and from i read there not even the main chars. codys brrother is. and thats not a fighting game. they deserve to be in sf4 damit!!! lol

Amingo is the cactus from MvC2

Apparently, hentai of Ruby Heart exists.

lolz i know who amingo is, but he has not been seen since then…

his game got cancelled, forever sealing him in the gate of obscurity

links?

what he said

Ditto.

Rock has never been in KOF either, as far as I can remember. Except for a cameo as kid in one of Terrys animations maybe.

But yeah, KOF needs both Freeman and Rock. They’re both awesome.

I always forget that Yun is in CvS2. It doesn’t help that that guy that draws everyone like George Clooney drew his character select portrait.

Fuckin A. I hate Shinkiro’s work.

LOL Clooney.

Agreed on the Rick love <3

He is one of the coolest characters I have seen in a fighter, and definately the coolest boxer. Even cooler than Dudley. Rick is fun to play, has alot of flavour, and is an absolute Bad Ass. His fists are so fast he can kill you with the wind they toss up. He also manages to be a Native American without being some stereotype.

Speaking of the SF1 characters (Retsu, etc), Backbones/Capcoms next project should just be a remake of SF1. Not just the old game with new graphics, that would be retarded. I mean remake the game. Also add an extra character to each country and move Ken into the USA. This would allow to add a younger Chun Li into the Japan roster (with a more juvenile moveset) among other things. Bah, Im rambling now.

Forgotten characters I want to see again ;

C Kidd ; They proved that World Heroes is not forgotten, and he is my favorite character in that game. Shawk Nakal!!

Allen Sneider, Blair Dame, Darun, Kairi, D Dark, Skullomania ; As poor as the EX series can be argued to be, it had some really fun characters. EX2 and EX3 I really didn’t like much but I have fond memories of EX and EX+a. Capcom has mined the EX series for moves. Bison got his kick throw from there just as an example. How hard would it be/how expensive to pick up some of the character designs?

Angel ; From KOF. Not too long forgotten, but we likely wont see her again because SNK doesn’t own her. She is a really cool character.

Dean ; Final Fight 3. His Bio said he was a Street Fighter. He seemed to have potential. Why hasn’t he been in a Street Fighter game?

Haggar ; It is a crime that Cody and Guy have SF incarnations and not Hggar.

Poison ; Dammit, make her playable already! <3

Abigail and Damnd

I agree that Angel was great, and it really sucks we can’t have her back.

What about that over-the-top-flamboyantly-American team in KOF94? The one with the basketball player, the american football player and the military dude? They’re hilarious, but I can’t recall them being in any other game.

Come on, now. Don’t ask, don’t tell. :lol:

Capcom should really just buy the rights to use the EX characters.

Give me some of that “Tripuh Break!”

It’d be sweet to play as Allen Snider, Skullomania, D. Dark, Kairi, Hokuto and mostly Darun Mister again.

XD you should check his TvC artwork.

Darkstalker characters… outside of Demitri, Anakaris, Jedah, and the gals, you barely see the rest of the cast as playable. I want Talbain damnit!

:confused::confused::confused:
Shinkiro’s art is pretty good, so some of the characters he draws look like real life actors, big deal, its not like they look that way in the game.

EDIT: Oh yeah Pyron needs to appear in more fighting games.
EDIT2: Links to Ruby Heart thing plz.

Yeah, you’d think that just by looking at one drawing. But when you start removing the identifiable aspects of a character, almost everybody he draws looks exactly the same, and most of the time stiff and rigid looking. Admittedly, he has made substantial improvement since he started working for Capcom, but there are still plenty of artists I’d take over Shinkiro any day. I always enjoy collecting character art jpegs by Kawano, Ishiwatari, Kinu, Edayan, Akiman and Bengus. These people understand variety in facial/bodily structure and perspective. They know how to liven up characters with interesting stylization and conceivable gestures. Shinkiro is barely making any progress in those areas, except when he tries to do something different with his faces, they end up looking horrible- just look at bug-eyed Chun and Sak in CFJ. His airbrushing techniques were the only thing carrying his ass for his career. It’s saddening to know how quickly many people are awed by this simple application of realism despite how fucking bland his characters can look. But it’s not for me to say what catches your eye, so whatever.
