Is it me or does Kim’s pants legs stretch to far?

I wonder why there’s so many Juri Rip offs…

I thought kim waking Backwards was the best of him we seen.

I guess it’s just because I can’t see the fabric actually move backwards.

To be fair, it’s easy to make that comparison when it’s KOF and SF-Two games that have been at odds since the beginning. I mean, look at Ryo who was SNK’s way of parodying Capcom’s shotos and Dan who was capcom’s way of returning the favor.

luong rips off juri? in what way? they both do tae kwon doe? and are both female? poison?
So then using that logic juri is a rip off of may lee
Not only did capcom SAVE the fg market from it’s “dark times” now everybody’s ripping off there characters!

Some people really like clutching at those straws, i’m surprised they’ve not credited capcom for discovering fire or the fucking moon landings

Let’s not forget the fireball storing mechanic which is the main thing that makes her moveset unique.

I’m mostly curious if that’s part of a DM, Climax, or special. Also if there is a smile on Beni’s face behind the distortion.

Who would be smiling in that situation tho.

I dunno, It’s a very nice view.

Ryo was not a parody of anything except maybe Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star and vague references to 80’s action movies. People said he was a ripoff if Ryu however so Capcom as a joke made Dan because of it, and in response SNK made Yuri as the Capcom parody character.

slowly raises hand

Oh, okay. Either way, the back and forth is apparent.

How can SNK parody Ryu when it was the original creator of Ryu whom made Ryo? The same person just left Capcom before SF2 was made and decided to work for SNK.

From what I know it seems like capcom and SNK have been ripping off each other for years in much the same way marvel and DC have been doing. When SF4 revealed its FADC mechanic the first thing that came to mind was the breaking mechanic from garou. The invincible backdashes also reminded me a lot of garou and the ultra mechanic came off like a shitty version of the rage meters from samurai showdown. In the case of luong and juri, both are female TKD users with a similar color scheme. Aside from that I don’t think they’ll play anything alike and besides juri always felt like capcom’s not so subtle version of Kim. The only real blantant rip off from either company in recent memory is Charlie and how he clearly wants to be rugal.

Parody doesn’t necessarily have to come from a different person or group. All anything has to do to be classified as parody is in some way or other mock the portrayal of something else(in this case unintentionally, i guess).

What’s interesting about Luong’s design is that from the front she looks like she has a mini dress on and when she kicks you are seeing panty shots but from the back you can see that she is actually wearing a leotard of sorts.

People are saying that Loung similar to Juri…?
Now if they were drunk or on some sort of medication… or worse, illegal drugs then perhaps it would make sense. Only to them.

Also, are people actualy complaining about characters utilizing certain martial arts poses that others may use? Wonder what’s next.

EDIT:
AAAAND, one more thing. Ripoffs.
Just a minor note about the relationship between AOF and SF… AOF was made by the same group who also made the very first SF.
How… exactly do you ripoff your own creation? That’s a rather strange situation if anything.

Then where is the evidence that the original creator made Ryo as a means of mockery?
