People, please. We need to move on from the pre-SF3 characters. HOWEVER; I do think we need a series similar to the Alphas. Another 2-game saga that finally puts an end to the stories of our favorite pre-SF3 characters that fits between SF2 and SF3. And then when SF4 finally comes out and it can continue off of 3rd Strike.
Well you can finish off the pre-SF3 chars stories without having to go between games. It can be done with a game set further in the future.
Capcom also has plans to never do any more inbetween SF games.
And something that I think ALOT of people dont ever relize but need to is that character stories do NOT have to be finished off with(in) a game.
For instance Capcom is thinking of doing a SF book (kinda like the All About books) where they are gonna have the complete history of the SF timeline and all its characters, filled with tons of info and pics, ie they’re planning on finishing off alot of character’s storylines with this book, so they dont have to ever deal with those chars again, and people can have resolution with them and stop complaining about bringing them back.
Okay, but dont expect many SF3 characters to return.
Awhile back one of the SF producers said that Ryu would be the only pre-exisiting SF3 char to return in SF4, and only a few (like 3 or 4) SF3 chars would return, ie the SF4 cast would mostly be all new chars, just like from SF1 to SF2, and from SF2 to SF3 (mostly all new characters in each sequel)
Yeah, it has been the trend, only Ryu and Ken are the charecters featured in all the SF games. But if SF4 is going to be about the Apocalypse (or whatever Gill talked about) then I guess some SF3 Characters will return… (At least Urien, Gill and Alex)
I just hope that if there are a bunch of new people in SF4 they hold the same magic over us that the oldies did. Btw, that SF Neo story is awesome, is there a place where I can find the rest of it?
First up, I am loving third strike on the xbox, its just fantastic and playing online is amazing - which is why i am worried. Xbox 360 comes out this year, and i imagine it wont take long for most people on xbox to make the switch to this new version. Now apparently you will still be able to play against guys online using the first xbox, but its unlikely that it’ll be backwards compatible.
So- what i really want to see is a new street fighter game tha comes to xbox 360 real soon…they could do so much with online , downloadable new backdrops - man that would rock…but i suppose it would have to come out in arcades first, and there would be big gap between arcade and console…so unless it comes out in the arcades real soon, then i can see my online street fighting days going downhill…damn
