@MattMoylan Oh I know. I already preordered. And I’m really excited for it.
I just hope she goes far in the tournament. I feel the finalists will either be Ryu, Alex, or maybe even Urien. But I’m hoping Chun-LI has a major impact in saving the world. And gets a epic fight in there too.
Noticed a minor continuity error. Hakan is seen at the beach dance party but then he’s also on the flight with Ryu? Artist error? Hidden plot/conspiracy? Hmmm…time will tell.
Oh snap, you’re right! I’ll give you the truth, Hakan was not originally in the plane scene. He was are replacement for another character that we cut out. It was a character we had not used before, and they didn’t end up even getting a speaking part in the rest of the story arc, so we decided not to waste their introduction.
So now, two Hakans… I think we can reach an explanation, but I don’t want to spoil the next couple issues
in the Japanese SF2 comic that was published by Viz Communications back in the day, they took the idea of mirror matches from Championship Edition to mean that those mirror matches were actually clones. And with Twelve or Twelves in the mix, I guess one of those Hakans…or any of these characters could turn out to be a Twelve at any moment. Exciting stuff!
Plot: “With the Secret Society’s sinister plans fully revealed, one fighter from the tournament rises to challenge their angelic host. It’s Ryu versus Gill, man versus god, in a battle for the Earth’s future!”
Jam cover update. Necalli, Blanka, Sagat, Akuma, El Fuerte, (maybe Haggar), Dictator, rest of the Dolls aaaannnnndddd Vega, Geki, Decapre = all claws combined - are tendered to be on the covers to issues 11 and 12!!!
Tournament gets underway. It was really fun to see a lot of matches take place within just this one issue. And i can’t wait to see more. Great issue for SF Unlimited #8
I wonder why isn’t Remy (older Ed from SFV) taking part at the tournament…
I understand Claw, Boxer, Fang and Dictator are missing, Juri, Q and Viper are scheming, Cammy and Abel are in their own comic, Oro, Retsu, Akuma and Gouken are too old, Rose, Gen and Charlie are dead, Twelwe and the Dolls are inappropriate for a fair fight.
But where are Laura, Necalli and Rashid? How’s Udon going to incorporate SFV’s story into the comic?
Is what we’re seeing Second Impact or Third Strike = where there two SFIII tournaments?
Where are Eagle, Joe, Geki and Lee?
And Haggar & Maki…
Otherwise great story - I’m enjoying it very much! Thanks Udon!
Plot: It’s one VS all, as Gill battles the combined might of over 30 World Warriors! But can even this army of mortal martial artists stop a rampaging god? The Hadokens, Sonic Booms, and Kikokens run wild in the penultimate chapter of the Secret Society Saga!
Remy actually was in the tournament at one point, he was even drawn in issue but we edited him out. He didn’t actually do anything that was important so we figured, as a character we’ve never used let’s save him for a story we can give him a better role.
