www.CapcomComics.com has been updated along with
a Street Fighter II #6 preview in the Previews section.
Really great issue! Liked seeing Ryu doing that stance he did on the mountain in the SF2 Animated movie (also seen in SF2V). Good conclusion to this arc. Now bring on the tourney! :nunchuck:
Agreed. After what I felt was a fairly hollow issue #5, this one really came through.
The confrontation between Bison and Rose? What does Cammy say about that kind of fight?
‘Too short!’
Yep, that’s it.
Yay. They’re finally setting up an actual Street Fighter Tournament.
About time this happened.
So I guess Rose is dead…(or is she?) It’s funny when you know these things are gonna happen and you still feel sad about it, oooh…
In case you haven’t heard - there’s a mega ad in the comic of all of the SF manga Udon’s gonna translate. Masaomi Kanzaki’s SF2 manga and Masahiko Nakahira’s SF manga - SFZ, Sakura Ganbaru! and Ryu Final!
So DA GAME takes it that this issue is worth getting?
In my best Ed McMahon impersonation, “YES!” It sets up everything for the upcoming SF2 tourney very nicely. Alvin’s pencils are really sweet and Rose has some nice special effects used in the comic for her moves too.
God damn YES!!! :lovin: I’m looking forward to reading soe 3rd strike action in comic form.
A bit upset about the sexiest Street Fighter (IMO) biting the dust. Oh well, I guess it was on the cards for a while. (Bad Pun Intended)
How so? Ryu Final doesn’t go that far.
Sorry, I should have said Street Fighter 3 action
Since Hugo, Dudley, Sean, Gill, Alex, Oro, Yun etc are in it.
Also really looking forward to the Tourney.
I love this comment about the story freedom:
“It wasn’t like we were cutting Ken’s head off or having Ryu and Chun Li start making out…”
Having read both serials where those happened I got a good laugh out of it
Oh and the issue was okay, but I’m a little worried about the tournament. Bison/Rose just reminded me that lately the fights have been a little short of expectations. There was such a nice buildup to that one, but it just didn’t go far enough. Hopefully the tournament arc will be lighter on story so there can be more focus on the fighting.
Udon already stated in the raws that they had to deviate from the games’ storyline (if there was one in the first place), so I’d be surprised if the vice-versa from Capcom’s side switched to the opposite (IE, Capcom deciding to make the comic override the games’ storyline, if they think it even has one) would be true.
Tiamat said it right.
I cannot speak on behalf of Ken (our writer), but it is true that we had to
slightly deviate from the games’ storyline in order to make sense of each
character to work in an overall storyline. Because there is no official storyline,
we had to fill in the gaps. Take DeeJay for example, there is not much to be
told, but we had to work him in somehow. There are tons of great stories that
Capcom did vaguely give us (see Tiamat’s amazing FAQ), and when placed
side by side things can get a little blurry.
I’m glad you all are enjoying our story so far.
I, too, am looking forward to reading what Ken Siu has in store for the series.
The tournament arc will be nothing short of spectacular.
Great issue! I’m glad the tournament is under way…now we can start prediciting who will win and who will lose.
I was surprised to see E. Honda in the tub with the ladies. Good stuff.
Good lead in to the next arc. I liked the depictions of signature moves as ususal. My favourite panel this issue was Sagat’s entrance, boy he’s sounds confident.
I thought perhaps Rose was defeated a little too easily but I get a sense she isn’t dead and still has a role to play. I’m a bit confused on the fate of the Dolls, Vega says only 3 remain, so were all the others freed by Rose? and they were all left behind? If so, it seems careless for Bison leave so many loose threads. Maybe this will get cleared up in the tournament issues.
Best of luck on the next arc, I’ll wait patiently for it.
I suppose Zangief will lose the Tournament, Bison will brainwash him and he’ll become mecha-Zangief till he is beaten by T.Hawk and returned to his senses… (remember that SFII credits run after winning the game? all the char’s are fighting in pairs and T.Hawk and Zannie are one couple…)
You might not have noticed, but she appears to be crumbling to dust right after Bison released her. At least that’s how it looks to me.
Yes, you are right! Thank you for telling that - I havn’t noticed it during my read.
By the way, has anyone noticed that the postguy looks really similar to Pete from Power Stone II? Check it out:
What do you think?
:lovin:
He looks like Mario wearing Luigi’s colors to me.
Crumbling to dust… poor Rose went out the way the villains are supposed to go out!
Hmmmm, all i gotta say for Rose is that she aint pretty no more. And where the hell is Balrog, is Bison gonna have to bust a nigga outta the pen or what?
