High Res NG,2i & 3rd Strike Art

You know, I’ve always wondered why the HK color isn’t Urien’s primary color as he’s about as dark in every artwork, including the character select picture. Then again I’ve also wondered why isn’t the LK color is primary color since he makes those metallic block sounds and the LK color sort of looks like he’s made of metal, so…

Oh, that’s cool. Wonder why couldn’t you select this stage from the cheats. Maybe they’ve updated it.

Just to make myself clear, I was bitching about OE’s new art as you could find high res versions on the net a year ago.
When I read the title of the thread I was afraid to find these and not original 3S art.

I know and love nishimura kinu’s stuff.
Thanks for the backgrounds ! if you have more, I’d gladly pick these too.

Also, yup, while NG’s stages looked nice and had lots of interactive things, plus tons of animated chars it reached like the apex of the SFII years, 3S’s empty stages give it a way different feel that you don’t have in the other games.
Also, I loved the intros with yang on the blacony or gouki on his stage, up the cliff, that was really dope.

time for me to share this, found most of it on the net, years ago on some obscure site, very badly timed, even with some frames inverted, I re-timed them to make it lookable, bear in mind there’s only some key frames, it’s lacking intervals.
Then there is this alex chop and yun palm that I found on another obscure site, I asked the guy where he found these and couldn’t remember.
Even asked the Shend but he wouldn’t remember in which artbook.
If anyone has more, SHARE !

Also, this is interesting, but easy to find :

Thanks for the stages Fran3S !
You can find all the original stages, split in bits on ESN’s site

I’m sure glad this art wasn’t included in the Vault for the 3SOE port and we got a bunch of Deviantart shit instead.

Sarcastaball.

Damn !

when I found these, I didn’t know of google’s drag and drop image search (or it didn’t exist).
Just tried with alex, and… TADAAAAM !
found more on a japanese site (and re-found the site I got these from).
I’ll dl ibuki, Urien, and re dl the others… looks like there are a few frames here and there that weren’t on the gifs I found.
If you give me some time, I’ll get to re-time them sothat they look somewhat better.

Man Remy looks like a floppy fairy in that last new character page. Almost looks like he’s doing anime site gags. Everyone else has some bad ass look’n poses. Well, I guess Hugo always had a bit of goofiness in his movement though.

Hi, I think I can help here.

All those sketches come from the colector japanese third strike version. It include a giant artbook with all those sketches. You can find it on the web for about 130/140$.

whats the actual name of that artbook?? I want the sketches found on the 3rd Strike Intro

It’s small even on the Secret File.

Mask off Q :eek:

oh god oro.

I just realized in that picture, Elena is a lot shorter than she seems in the game.

Roo looks like a stud.
What’s with Hugos face

ryu is a fucking stud.
what the fuck man. it’s fucking ryu. fuck.

Well since I’m playing a game where people can jump 30+ feet and can shoot energy from their hands…I’m not too concerned about how gritty or realistic the stages are. Therefore I don’t prefer the 2i/NG stages. However all three games have great stages.

TheShend knew the whole time. Scoobydoobop

Necro holding someone’s arm, kinda grotesque dude. Everyone else is Happy. Ken’s a Polo/Hilfiger model with an anchor for a face. Was thinking about the “wig” off Akuma again recently from this pic.
