I haven’t been to the plot guide recently but didn’t Tiamont say that now Bp/Sp was just a way of retelling height and weight? I remember he did a little chart and that reasoning worked for a large amount of the cast.
The latest version of the guide is a gamefaqs right now. It hasn’t been uploaded to fighter mania from what I can tell. And yea, most of the BPs and SPs seem to correlate to weight and height, although there are a few notable exceptions (Ryu, Akuma, and the Dolls, for example. Maybe those are ones that are abnormally strong for their weight and height?)
Yeah I hear you, I also thought Chun Li wasn’t very sensitive to Guile after Nash/Charlie’s fall. She could have said she was sorry or something before bringing up if Vega/M. Bison was dead or not. Maybe they’ll be for sensitive next issue when they reflect upon what happened.
Overall a good issue.
…woa Billy and Chuck lol
anyways(I don’t have the issue so forgive me) Can’t Bison fly? If Charlie sliced up the cliff(it musta looked cool 
) Wouldn’t Bison just fly off there with his stupid evil grin and catch a Pigeon in his teeth? Or was he too hurt?
I like how the Doll scene was very Kill-Bill-ish.
Kei seems even more grumpy and surly this issue
Did anyone else notice that the scene where Charlie gets shot is ripped almost exactly from his SFA2 ending? Take Chun Li and Guile out of the picture and replace the pencils with pixels and there you go.
BTW, I’m sure Tiamat practically soiled himself seeing almost all of the dolls vs. Dourai. (SF2V’s name for Chun Li’s father. Capcom never gave a name for him, but the comic version kind of looks like him.)
Yes, the Charlie death scene is intentional to be like the SFA2 ending.
And funning thing about Chun Li’s father… we asked Capcom how he looks like, and they said they never designed him. And they just ask us to reference the 2V Anime for him… so that becomes the comic “father” too.
Cool.
In your research for the SF comic, did you guys watch the whole SF2V anime? Not that there’s really anything of relevance in it outside of Chun Li’s father.
Although I noticed a parallel in issue #1 where Ryu arrives at Ken’s estate and is met by three German Shepards just like Ken’s dog in SF2V.
Actually, if someone took the time and effort, they could make the most awesome 10-minute sequence ever out of the SF2V series. The problem was that aside from a good 10 minutes worth of action throughout almost 30 episodes, there wasn’t much else worth watching. Too much filler and way too much repetition of the action clips. Chun Li did the same combo on Guile like … a dozen times at least. It looked dope, which is why it would look good in a highlights reel of some sort, but it sucked having to watch it for the 10th time so they could fill out the 20 mins for the episode.
The story actually got kinda good around when they met Dhalsim, but the rest of it sucked.
Capcom or whoever needs to just save us the trouble of having to sit through the butchered stories these series’ come up with and just give us the SF Anime Extreme Edition DVD with nothing but action sequences from earlier animes and hopefully some new ones too. That’s my view of it.
SFII V wasn’t a great series but worse efforts have been put forth. (See the US Street Fighter cartoon)
If you are extremely attached to the SF world and how characters are all supposed to be a certain way, then you will hate it. (Ken is not a redhead, Ken & Chun Li are not even close to being attracted to each other, Ryu has no headband in SF2V, Where is Sagat’s eyepatch & scar, etc.)
But overall, I found the series enjoyable. I wouldn’t put it in my top 10 or even top 20, but the Ken vs. Vega fight puts it in at least the top 50.
All I can say is…
Akuma vs Ken/Ryu will be SICK. That sky darkening effect was too good…And more Sagat. Please.
I don’t know what to say, this is my favorite comic series by far these days. all the little things that you guys put into each issue and the art is just amazing. seeing all the events from the games and more in a comic is just too cool. the backup had really good art too that Korean guy he looks like he’s Masamune Shirow inspired.
nothing against Dustin Nguyen I’m sure there are people that like him he’s definitely not my taste. and ugh he’ll be on Batman too. 
but at least we got Sal Larroca after him. 
SF2V is an Anime made for television in Japan. The vast majority of Anime in Japan made for Television is really bad and the Animators use all sorts of tricks to cut corners since they usually have to produce about 26 episodes in Three Months. Consider that in SF2V there are no scenes where the characters are looking sideways and there mouths are on there cheeks moving while their lips remain still like in every episode of Pokemon. And there are no scenes where the characters run around with big heads and little bodies like the Virtua Fighter Anime. I’ll take repeated fight scenes over any of these other Animation time saving devices.
And I did like SF2V when I saw it. It and the Animated Movie are what made me an SF Fanatic and eventually lead me to this Site to meet all the great people here. And even though now I know how much of the storyline they did wind up changing in SF2V, I’ll never forget it for taking me on this wonderful journey.
Wow, I really like the Dolls and the Doll scene and all, but some of you act like I’ve never seen artwork of the twelve Dolls before…
One thing I liked about SF2V was the Guile Ryu bout. That’s one of the best fight scenes in there.
cool picture of the dolls, yeah that scene was cool, i love kill bill, waiting for vol. 2:p
I really liked this issue, i liked the pace, a lot of you guys thought it was too fast, i thought it served it’s purpose, but yeah that scene where chun-li cried was kinda cheesy :lol:
Hyung-Tae Kim is awsome! My fav guest artist yet, i hope he does more back stories for furture issues, saw some of his work on his site, great stuff 
i’m gonna try to finish some fan art to send for issue 7, i hope it gets to the honorable mentions page, cause i know my stuff isn’t that great to win
Am I the only one to notice that Charlie had the Somersault SLASH? That’s Guile’s SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos exclusive super (the Shinryuken style flash kick super).
And though the Cammy vs. Vega story was pretty good, the amount of fanservice shots in the backup really caught me off guard. Whatever sells I guess…
In #4’s back up story, Charlie also did Guile’s rendition of somersault kick.
Hey, cool Pic of the Twelve Dolls or as I like to call it, my new Desktop image on my PC!
Yeh I feel like the interaction between the characters are always so unnaturally fast and too forced. But this has been going on since issue 1 (actually issue 1 wasn’t that bad) but this issue 5 it becomes so apparent. Ah well. Still a kickass issue tho.
