Wow! what a great issue.
The fighting was short, but the story was so fuuuulll.
spoiler alert
Spoiler
However, The Ryu finally meeting chunli was lukewarm
discuss please 
A significant improvement, especially over the last issue. Some very decent fight scenes as well.
Guile launching Blanka into the air with a sonic boom to set him up for a flash kick was sweet.
My only gripe was with Bison calling Cammy âCammyâ, and not Killer Bee, despite the brackets designating her as âKiller Beeâ earlier in the issue.

canât wait to pick up this issue! were there any sf 3 character cameos?
I like how Bison felt dhalsim was a major threat to his operations. Is it me or does Kenâs hadokenâs do hardly any damage 1st Hugo now Zangief. Looks like they just shrug it off and get annoyed in the process. loved the this issue
Thereâs an Ibuki back up story! 
I thought some of the fights went down too fast and Joe NG did a better job depicting fighting game moves last week in SF4 which is still fresh in my mind. I did like how they had Shadaloo Island, much like the island of âShadâ in Masaomi Kanzakiâs SF2 manga so that was really nice. Overall pleased that the SF2 Tourney started and even more pleased that I didnât have to start this thread for once. 
And -
SF2 #8
Spoiler
Iâm just happy that Ryu and Chun-Li have finally MET because theyâve been missing each other in the book for years! LOL I asked Ken Siu-Chong a bunch of years ago at a con, when are the two (my two favorite characters in SF BTW) going to meet? I know they wonât be âhaving babiesâ in his words but how about a handshake at least? And hey look at that, I got exactly what I asked for A handshake! And now Iâm assuming Chun-Li will beat Fei-Long, Ryu will beat E. Honda and the two will fight each other? DAMN! Iâm so looking forward to that fight! :karate:
Iâm sorry but that Ibuki story was just complete crap
Artayes! Whatâs up man? (Itâs Truest_Strike from Cap-Unity)
The back-up story features Ibukiâeven though it was extremely short, I still enjoyed it since there wasnât a lot to cover with so few pages. But 2 characters from her New Generation stage make an appearance :wgrin:
Also, the next issue will have an Oro back-up story with a nice alternate cover. (The UDON website shows what it looks like)
Overall, this issue was much better than the last one. Iâm sure the next one will be more of the same. Fights and more fights!
This issue was more enjoyable than previous ones. It felt like we finally have a STreet Fighter comic for once. There are still so many problems, though.
I do wish they wouldâve shown more of the fights. Itâs pretty obvious they simply do not care about characters like Blanka, Honda, Dee Jay, etc. One look at the bracket and you knew what would happen. The writer simply does not know how to pace his stories. Never did. He must think fights are a bother, because every fight is either a quick slideshow or a silly free-for-all (which is clearly whatâs happening AGAIN with Bison - just check Bisonâs comment).
Newsflash, Ken-Siu-Chong: fleshing out Blanka, Dee Jay and Honda wonât slow down the storyline! You waste time on âThe Adventures of Cammyâ, you spend time adding Final Fight characters just for shits and giggles and you ignore the actual Stret Fighter 2 characters! All those pages with Cody, Hugo, Poison would be enough to flesh Dee Jay (or Honda, or Zangief, or Blanka) out!
But i guess that wouldnât allow you to send a press release with âFinal Fight added to Street Fighter comic!!!â, would it?!? Thats just sad!
The 1st SF series was breakneck fast and dissapointed everyone. The 2nd was too short. Is Udon afraid of making a longer arc or something? The first thing they cut are the fights, on a book called Street Fighter!
Whatâs so hard about making a checkist of characters and making sure each character shines in at least one fight, and has an arc with a beggining, middle and end? Not in a back-up, in the actual story? Honda dn Zangief so far? Joke characters. Dee Jay and Blanka? Background characters. Cody is more of a chaarcrter than both of those two.
Jesus Christ!
And this issue? Couldâve been broken in two no problem. Add some Zangief (or Blanka) and T-Hawk backstory scenes, make fights one or two pages longer, make the lead up more dramatic/tense. Thatâs it!
My art complains remain, since itâs obvious Chamba just doesnât give a shit about backgrounds, and nobody at Udon has the balls to tell him to step it up.
TRUEST_STRIKE!!! :wgrin: wow! nice to see you! whatâs up, dude? you still keeping the third strikers and especially Makoto support strong!!! I didnât know you are in Miami, do you know Peter (flash metroid) and crew? I lived there for many a year. too bad they closed down Flippers.
thanks for all the info and great to see you posting on SRK! the Oro backup sounds unbelievable and I canât wait for it! i hope it is longer than the Ibuki backup but them getting any exposure at all is outstanding!
thanks again and see you around!
Not bad, I like how things are going right now. The fights are decent, I lolâd when Blanka slid under a sonic boom. And they even figured out a new move for Guile.
Like someone else said I was only bothered by the fact Bison referred to her as Cammy instead of Killer Bee like he would have. And itâs kind of dumb that Bison sent the dolls after Dhalsim when he obviously knows that Dhalsim can free them.
Im calling BS on Guile being able to do a Flash Kick right after a Sonic Boom :xeye:
I liked it though. They made Sim really cool.
In general i liked.
The results of each match happened just as i thought, and about the next fights, of course Ryu will advance(nothing against E. Honda but, itâs pretty obviousâŚ), and im almost 100% sure Chun-li will advance as well(Fei Long is one of my favorites but Chun-li is a major character in this plot soâŚ). The only thing i didnât like was how fast the fights were, i mean, IMO they build the main characters really overpowered, so they beat the others quite easily, i think the matches should be more balanced equally.
Ibuki side-story was pretty short and didnt tell much more about her than what we already know, but it was nice anyway, since she not seems to be a character of many mysteries like Oro and of course the most mysterious character ever: Q
By the wayâŚDhalsim is just awesome, i like him more every chapter he appears
Heyo guys
check out my full review of Street Fighter 2 Turbo #8 which i think was a perfect issue! http://streetfighterblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/street-fighter-ii-turbo-8-review-let.html
we will also be discussing fight by fight on the blog in the next couple days with insights and tidbits from Udon!
I really love Chambaâs art. I first saw him doing work for Blue Water on a Sinbad title and immediately thought about how awesome itâd be to see him do Street Fighter. I just hope they keep a semi regular schedule.
One thing I just noticed, about the spoiler tags? Whatever is in the spoiler tags still shows up when you hover over the thread titles⌠kinda funny.
Wasnât Sakura supposed to access to the finals at the end of issue #6 ?
Yeah I think her going to take care of Dan took her out of the tourney. I suspected that was the case because early on when they showed us Cammy fighting T.Hawk in SF2 Turbo #1 Sakura wasnât among the chosen.
Sakuraâs also involved in the events of the SF4 comic which is going on at the same time as the SF2 Tourney.
