Cody=Renegade For Life.
I would only to say about Claw is that he is designed to be an assassin which means he could very well sneak up on anyone if he wanted to. But he can’t cause it’s a tournament and so on. On the other hand, the masked bastard got more crossovers than most of the cast so he should be happy.
And besides, he’s more useful to Bison than people know. Someone has to deal with the leftover bodies the Dictator has left; even if his method is slightly unorthodox… ahem…guy should have been renamed Necro Fillian.
My point was that Cody and Guy got the only good ending that doesn’t have any downsides the Pandora box destroys itself and everything returns to slightly better than normal (for now). It is the only purely good ending. There are PLENTY of Good but with a downside ending like Chun and Cammy.
Hell, the box had nothing to do with Cody getting him to start being a good guy again instead of an emo self pitying fool. (I love the character, but he’s pretty damn Emo with a serious martyr complex.)
Plenty of other characters got the box to do MORE good stuff for the world or for themselves, but even in the case of Chun and Cammy there is a caveat. A string attached. Fine print in the contract. Sort of stuff like that. They are WORKING to fix the problem. Just like people are WORKING to cure cancer, it doesn’t mean that thousands of people don’t die from it every day and that it’s not still a horrible thing that affects people globally
But they still had a bad part you know, thousands or millions of people brainwashed possibly committing violent acts in a lust for power. Last I checked, that isn’t good.
You know a nuclear holocaust killing all humans would also end crime. Does that make it good?
Tis implied. But what if the craze goes out of control? What if Chun and Cammy faced a crisis in pure coincidence? The villains surely still exist.
In conclusion, Cody and Guy kept the balance. Cody becomes a good guy, probe removes his handcuffs and sets to beating the bad guys then becoming the ultimate hero. To which he’d succeed thus is an SSS+++ grade in my books.
I don’t know or care how Bison approached the other Grandmasters, Sagat is obviously the 2nd best out of the 4 but all that means to me is that he’s the runner up to the main loser. I seriously doubt Guile would have any trouble whooping that ass.
You’re the one who brought up the BS excuse that he was probably trolling him and when I go with the said BS excuse there’s no way Bison would be too weak to defend against Akuma? Yeah but it’s MUCH better to believe the warrior who only wishes to fight the strongest fighters around snuck him.
Keep in mind we’re arguing over fighting game character logic. Poorly written logic that’s shakey at best. I’ll just say this. In hindsight, an evil, powerful, corupted Dictator with Psycho power doesn’t get beat by a side character.
Sigh. If only it was that simple. But you know, my main is better than you know. Don’t sleep on em he did that one thing that one time.
Sneak Attack
If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty.
A rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.
Just a thought, can you really consider Oni and E.Ryu cannon? I have always consider them “what if” characters. Ryu and E.ryu/Akuma and Oni can’t exist in the same univers and spacetime-continuum because they are the same character. Just a thuoght I had.
Evil Ryu is canon,I don’t think he’s cannon in SFIV,but he has appear cannonicaly invother games plus I belive that Evil ryu did the Shoryuken that left the scar on Sagat.
