IGN Top 25 Street Fighters

“Rose’s physical attacks are weak…”

IGN never heard of Low Strong.

Since when did gaming sites actually know how to play and review a fighting game properly? Hell, they’ll give Alpha 3 9.0 just because it had a big cast, and they’ll read SRK to find the Pros and Cons of a fighting game.

I’m too tired/lazy to come up with something funny, you do it.

i already looked through all them, the only other one is benign

random top 25 of whatever without any way to explain normally how they rate the characters.

by popularity? by effectiveness? by originality … who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares

I saw Sakura ahead of Dudley, i stopped reading

If Gil shows up on the list, I’m going to throw up.

The top 10 should be pretty easy to guess. Most of the original 8 will be in there plus Akuma and one random SFIII like Urien or something.

Its an entertaining read but not more then that.

its obviously by character design

btw if i made a top 25 it wouldnt have either alex or dudley on it

owned

Why don’t you make one and we can start a thread about it?

Rufus for #1. :tup:

Dudley is god.

wow a rich black guy with boxing gloves

Though I don’t see what’s the big deal here, I find the inclusion of terry, this “3rd impact” and makoto’s headband pretty funny.

Thats the beauty of the character. Don’t you see? Hes the “Bill Cosby” of Boxing. An acceptable version of the racial stereotype.

There is social acceptance and an underlying story in everything. :slight_smile:

terry is just too funny! :rofl:

I wonder if anyone has told them their errors

the description this article gave to Makoto illustrates exactly what the problem is with IGN doing a Top 25 street fighters list. It fails to focus on the right qualities to consider. WTF? Makoto is on the list because 3S used CPS3 and her belt’s always moving? not one mention on her mixup game, her dash, infinites etc.

BAH!

Well they chose SF4 as the best fighting game shown at E3, so all’s forgiven. :lol:

WTF!!! Terry

lol

Late to the party, man. On the same train of thought, though, their picture for day 3 should have someone even more random, like Galford or Sol. Increase the ridiculousness with each day.

So…

Balrog is 15th

Honda is 13th

Dan is 12th and Sagat is 11th.

DAN IS 12th!!!

hahahaaa

If you happened to ask Dan himself, he’d tell you he belongs at number one on this list. The sole and single master of Saikyo-ryu ? the “strongest style” ? holds an unshakable belief in his own incredible greatness, which is probably the big goof’s greatest feat when you think about it.

The inside joke is on him, of course. Dan was intentionally conceived as a half-assed, wimpy, bumbling joke of a character, a rib on Capcom’s rival fighting developers at SNK.

He was designed to poke fun at Art of Fighting hero Ryo Sakazaki, who looked a little bit too much like Street Fighter’s Ryu for the resemblance to be simple coincidence. Instead of suing for trademark infringement or choosing some other humorless avenue of retribution, Capcom just decided to have some fun at SNK’s expense.

Ever since he first showed up in Street Fighter Alpha, though, Dan’s built up a cult following among Capcom fans. It’s always fun to root for the underdog, after all ? especially an underdog in a shocking pink gi ? and some hardcore players get a kick out of beating down opponents with the weakest character in the game.

To add further proof that IGN has no fucking idea of what their talking about.

"The down side of Honda was that he played a lot like Blanka, and despite the inherent coolness of sumo, it was still hard to pick him over the electrified jungle beast.
