Where u been, money? I mentioned all that in the storyline thread several pages back. The Red Cyclone webmaster tol’ me that.
Since we’re talking about art here:
TAS, you’ve mentioned elsewhere that there’s a Gouki pic done by Bengus that shows him before he became immersed in satsui no hadou, and that sano may have the source for it. Is there really such a pic published somewhere? Where can it be found? The closest resemblance I’ve seen is Gouki in Ryu Final before he takes out Gouken, same described messy hairstyle.
The Chun Li w/ Shao I Fei and the “Four Stages of Chun Li’s Life” pics are both by Edayan. Shao I Fei is her uncle, at least in the novel for which the pic was used.
Somebody told me the pic was on/in one of the SF Alpha/Zero 2 Guides, but I forget which exactly, ie US or Japan. They were saying how the guide had concepts for all the characters and there was one for Akuma which was like the way I described.
BTW can anyone scan the young Akuma from RYU FINAL cause I wanna show it to someone, plus it just be nice to have as well.
Thanks.
Edayan’s early SF stuff mirrors Bengus’ art style so much its hard to tell sometimes just by looking at the pics.
You’re welcome. Definitely not in the US SFA2 guide, I would’ve spotted it long ago. And for the record, it’s not in AASFZ2, AASFZ2A, or the largest of the SFZ2 Gamest mooks. There were at least 7 other guides released for SFZ2. Can anyone share anything more to help narrow things down? Would cover pics help? 
I’m supposed to buy a scanner tomorrow. As soon as I figure out how to work it, I’ll see what I can do about a young Gouki scan from Ryu Final, and perhaps one from the Hong Kong Comic.
I take you don’t know about any official young Gouki pic right?
Didn’t I say on this thread I didn’t have it? Or was that another thread? Oh well. Don’t have the official one.
Rats. :tdown: Back to reading…
I thought you said that he wasn’t Gen and you said his name, but I don’t recall any uncle mentioning. Course… admittingly, I haven’t had much time to focus on memorizing everything. tosses angry glares at hectic real life
hey speaking of Ryu Final =p
Does anyone know where to get text translations for this? I’ve got the 2 volumes, but I can only admire the pretty drawings ‘x’
Actually I’m looking for the Street Fighter Zero translations too… I did manage to find the Sakura Ganbare (is that right?) ones. ‘x’
Don’t know where, but they do exist online. At least the Ganbaru one does. I remember I was gonna read it one time at work, but didn’t because I couldn’t be bothered without the pictures.
Sakura Ganbaru! And SF Zero Manga have Online translations, all text, no images. I have Links for them but the Links don’t work anymore…(I got the links from TiamatRoar a long time ago.) I printed them out though. Neither of the translations are word for word perfect but the Ganbaru! one is more in depth. I wish someone would ‘scanlate’ these Mangas over some of the crap that’s getting scanlated nowadays.
Anyway, if no one can find existing links, let me know and I’ll see what I can do about getting you guys the translations.
EDIT: The SF Zero one is EXTREMELY brief, but it tells you what’s going on.
yeah i think i found that SF Zero one you’re refering too. It wasn’t really even a translation. More like a summary of the entire 2 volumes =[
Yeah I’d love to see scanlations. Would beat having to look at a print out then look at the manga back and forth. Would be great if i still had time to do that sort of thing.
Count yourself lucky if you’ve got those mangas I’d love them for the art alone.
Seriously. It seems like nobody wants to go near SF mangas when it comes to scanlating(or just plain scanning).
Well, here’s my scans. Not a lot of good shots in Ryu Final of the younger Gouki since he’s covered in darkness most of the time. Here’s a close up of his face. And another of him putting on Gouken’s beads after he kills him.

those links dont seem to be working 
OK. The Links should work now, let me know. 
Thanks for the pics Sano.
And yeah thats exactly what he looks like in the Bengus sketch, although his jaw and nose arent that massive, same shape though.
Also he resembles Wolverine quite a bit in that fist pic.
Now when are we gonna see a SF cover and back up by Nakahira Masahiko?
It be cool for the 25th issue of SF, if UDON got Bengus & Akiman to do Cover A, Edayan to do Cover B, and Nakahira Masahiko to do Cover C.
Well, glad to hear the links work now! :tup: You’re welcome. Now I’ll look for the younger Gouki in the Hong Kong SF3 comic. His appearance there predated his Ryu Final appearance by an odd number of months.
