SF # 4 Impressions Thread (As usual, Spoilers)

Dan is supposed to be a joke character. Therefore, him getting his ass handed to him by Sakura fit perfectly.

Excellent panty shot of Sakura doing her kick!:eek: :sweat:

Herny: Almost all comics are produced in Canada, so it only makes sense that you guys receive your comics first. Lucky bastards!:mad:

I wonder when we’ll get some Balrog action?

Thanks for the link!
I looked around and they mentioned dolls fighting and Cammy and Rose, but didn’t really tell where the dolls came from?

Also, Tiamat’s FAQ seems to be cut-off at the end. It looks like an alphabetical character bio but stops after Balrog…

A new shocking thing is that the FAQ says that NONE of the anime stuff is cannon? That’s not only shocking, but dissappointing, since the anime is mainly what I know and LIKE about Streetfighter?!

But, the SF comic is enjoyable and I recognize all the characters and the story is still similar even if they say the anime is not canon.

Yea. All one of them. :wink:

Oh, gamefaqs is kinda wonky regarding big files (or perhaps it’s just the guide. Dunno) and cuts it off for some reason. Deleting your temporary internet files then refreshing the page usually (but not always) fixes it. But that can be very very annoying.

It seems to load fine at Siegfried’s Fighter Mania, though. Try there if it gets cut off at gamefaqs.

Finally got an Alvin lee cover that’s all I gotta say.

Thanks for the new link TiamatRoar!
That answered all my questions about dolls or Shadaloo’s Elite.
I like how they work with Vega as bodyguards.
:slight_smile:

I liked issue #4. The great thing about the SF books is that they get better and better with each issue.

I especially like how the hospital scene ties together a lot of loose ends: Guile & Eliza “catch up”, Sakura gets a little closer to Ryu, and the origin of Mel Masters begins. However, will Mel get born during SFII or after? Will Eliza be pregnant in Udon’s version of Ken’s ending?

Plus, Nash vs. Chun Li: Too good! Especially the Sonic Boom/Somersault Kick trap.

BTW: Second on the Balrog request. I especially want to see a back up for him on how he came up through the ghetto, rises to stardom and then falls (just like Mike Tyson! Life imitates art?) with Bison ready to “catch” him.

Also, I always thought Rose would be some kind of maternal figure to Cammy. I mean if you look at Cammy’s SSF2 portrait and Rose’s SFA portrait, the similarity is uncanny. Besides, Udon has to get Cammy into her SFII outfit by issue #7

**

I think what happened was that Cammy has yet to return from her last mission and all communication with her ceased. Vega/M. Bison wanted to send Cammy out to terminate Shadow, Chun Li, and Guile, but since she is not around he will have to do it himself.

I enjoyed issue 4. Loved the back up story and I thought the opening fight sequence was very well done. All of Chun Li’s and Nash’s moves were pencilled beautifully and accurately. I guess Eliza will be revealed to be pregnant, but isn’t a bit too soon? I always thought Mel was born after SF2.

Dude, what kind of shadaloo craziness is it when Charlie can run after his sonic boom and flashkick while it’s still on screen?

Charlie must’ve been using EO mode in CvS2. :lol:

Damnit I got the Cammy cover. I sooo wanted the Ryu/Sagat one.:frowning:

Ok the cover is not that bad. Looks pretty cool actually.

Yeah I was pretty surprised at the attention to detail Udon put in. The Eliza/Guile thingy… wow. And gota love Rose having the same speech bubble as Bison. Very nice touch.

Dan saying “FATHER!!” Hahaha. Doesn’t sound as nice as UYAJIII though. Oh well…

Backup story is great. I just can’t wait for Hyung Tae Kim’s!!!

The issues keep getting better. Must make more effort now to get cover A Roarr…

Gotta say. I was a little dissapointed with this issue.

:lol: I just had this picture of him like scrolling through modes and then going “hmmm…” because you said that :lol:

And Chun Li was jumping backwards. He could have just stood there and she’d have landed right on the boom :smiley:

Stupid dolls, he should have walked back and screen anchored her. Unless that is she had an air block or parry. Man I’m such a geek.

speaking of air block and parry, do u guys think there will be such techniques in the comic?
that would owned:cool:

Well, if you paid attention in issue 3, Ken used the universal overhead on Vega. (d,d+P in 2i, MP+MK in 3s) :cool:

Dan looks funny. My least favorite issue so far.

Dan = MVP

As long as they don’t try to make Rosie a clone of Bison, then it’s all good. Because then next it’ll be Chun Li and Honda and Dee Jay…

I digged Rose as a maternal figure to Cammy as well…it was weird having the fight right at the begining like that though. I wanted another fight scene, like in the old Tokuma SFII comics, where there was fighting all the time, and basically nothing else.

I dislike the whole “all honkeys are related” thing with Guile being Eliza’s brother-in-law, but I like how characters are sort of being tied together, like how Sakura stumbled into finding out about Ryu.

Anyway, Sagat > or = Ryu. Ryu pulled that win in SF1 out of his ass (even though he’s more gifted than lucky), so it’ll be interesting to see how the fight scene goes next issue, assuming there is one.

well guess what Gulie is Eliza’s brother-in-law.

Guile’s daughter is Amy/Chris, and his wife is Jane/Julia. Two names are given for each because
their names are different in the American and Japanese versions of Street Fighter, respectively. Guile
has a pet dog named Safu, too. An interesting note is that Jane/Julia is Eliza’s sister. This means
that after SF2 when Ken married Eliza, Guile and Ken became brothers-in-law. Er… well, that’s what is
stated, at least, although technically, someone’s wife being a sister to someone else’s wife doesn’t
make those two brothers-in-law by the strictest definition of the term. Storylinewise, Guile and Ken
prefer not to talk about it though because Guile doesn’t like Ken since Ken is so brash and playboy-ish.
If you’re one of those people that isn’t willing to believe this, then that’s okay. It’s another small
fact that I’m really not willing to debate, and I can’t prove it unless you read Japanese and have the
book, All About Capcom, anyway. Basically, all I have to back this up is that it was officially stated
and you’ll have to take my word for that. Oh yea, Street Fighter Eternal has this relation in its
character relation flowchart, too, despite missing a whole bunch of other relations.
