I noticed and it is this crumbling to dust that has me suspicious, as a still body is a much simpler way to represent permanent death. The crumbling away eliminates the body completely and I wonder why that fate was used. Rose was able to materialize seemingly out of nowhere in the last issue, so perhaps she can escape in a similar way? This is just speculation on my part, of course, it’s just that I don’t find this death as convincing as say Gen’s death. Whatever the case, if Rose is gone, there is always the Legends series.
okay after checking out this issue, i gotta say the fighting got alot better, but only the Ryu vs Ryu fighting was good. The bison vs rose/cammy was okay, but not good.
I finally got my issue today. Fantastic Stuff.
The Akuma shot on the hill was a perfect. The story was expertly paced. And was at it’s usuall mindblowing best. Congrats Udon on delivering the best arch yet. It was worth the wait 
Since like alot of the fans around here, I got into street fighter when World Warrior came out WAY back in 91’ It’ll be great to see all the orginal 12 (possibly 16) characters battling it out for top spot. Tell Guile to leave his handcuffs at home 
I’m gonna grab it up asap.
Finally got to read this issue last night. Like everyone said, it was a great lead into the tourney. Can’t wait 'til the next issue!
