Still say it’s because Capcom isn’t giving Stan enough time or money. I mean, the stuff he puts out for DC is downright amazing.
@ Karas13
I agree with you, thats pretty much what I was saying earlier.
I clicked the Elena link and it sent me to Disneys website! WAT?! Shes also using the same pose as Donald Duck.
This is why I posted those fan art examples earlier, I think they could have just brought the fan artists in for this one. The styles would have been really different but it probably would have made it look a little more distinctive and the fans would be happy to get involved and contribute something to the game, it would probably be more eye catching too. If the fans liked Stan Laus work before then Im not sure they do as much now.
It would be cool if aku was right in them having a fan art unlockables section because theres so many amazing pieces of work, you could spend days looking and still be finding new ones.
Who was the artist for those?
Daigo Ikeno
He also did SFEX games SFIV and a number of other projects.
HYAAAA WAAAH HIYYYAAAAAA
That’s my yang impression.
The way parries work in 2I is crazy weird. You’re pushed back so far from some things you don’t get anything for parrying because you can’t even punish. 3S is superior in every way but 2I does have some neat stages and nice music. Doesn’t fit with 3S really though.
Have we heard anything about Japanese players saying they’re going to play OE?
Well you would have seen some article about it if that was the case. It’s obvious once they get a release they’ll be playing it too since their network infrastructure makes it perfect to play lag free games against practically the entire country with GGPO. I don’t really care for playing against the Japanese too much unless it somehow is pretty smooth to play them. Long as I can play Cali players and some Brits without lag that’s all I care about.
I like how Elena’s dribbling an invisible basketball.
Yeah, but I mean they will always be seen over and over again, anytime you want to fire the game up you will see that Q image. I would equate it to something like “Indestructable” monotony, but less avoidable.
Where is the Elena one?
Yeah, it’s weird how they said they couldn’t find the original art for the character select in high-res; surely they must’ve put it into at least ONE artbook?
Niggas could have hired on Falcoon. I’m sure he wasn’t doing shit. Probably sitting on his couch eatching chips and watching batsu games.
Yeh I posted some Falcoon 3rd strike art in this thread yesterday from the iplaywinner fan art section. They shouldve just grabbed that.
…What? They specifically said they rescanned in the original artwork to use in the character select screen. I don’t really know how you heard that backwards. The producer specifically explained they scanned shit in at a higher res so it looks all nice and proper for 3SOE. Either I don’t understand what you’re talking about or you didn’t watch any of the interviews.
That Falcoon guy’s stuff looks stupid as hell. That stuff is worse than what they went with.
More Falcoon 3S stuff
Theres a really good exclusive interview on iplaywinner with Seth Killian they posted earlier. One thing I found really interesting comes up about the youtube features with the suggestion along the lines of them having a stream showing the best 3S matches live as they playout. It may just be a conceptual idea, he tries to steer away from it in his answer, saying they need to save feature talk to build hype on release, but if Capcom are talking about it with regards to 3S then it could be something to look out for. Im not sure how it would work but Im guessing that when one match finishes it would pick the match with the highest ranks between the 2 players that is about to start next. My thinking on it is that it would be a bit like an SRK 24/7 style channel but with continuous competitive ranked matches where you can see high level play all the time. So even if we dont see a resurgence of 3S in the tourney scene you can still watch high level play going on all the time. It seems a bit of a dream feature so whether it will become reality I dont know but its an interesting insight into the minds at Capcom and what they want to do in the future with their FGs.
The point is that he captures the story, expression and style of each character really well compared to Laus really generic commercial pieces. Personally I think Falcoons more cartoon style suits the animation style of 3S way better than Laus serious clean cut style too.
