lookit the fuzzies on dat chin… lookit…
Mullet Ryu is best Ryu.
Chun-Li evolution, without 3D models unfortunately:
I miss the sprite on Chun’s HF Kikoken.
You mean, her st.HP animation being recycled as her fireball animation?
Man, Hyper Fighting was soooo lazy
On the other hand, they actually made new sprites for her and other characters in Super and ST, but most of them looked nothing like the original art for the game (like E. Honda becoming a completely different character during his Oicho animation)
What. I never noticed this.
Let’s not forget cvs 2 ryu he’s more hunched line sfv ryu
Her CvS2 sprite looks almost like they just squished her 3S sprite.
Not to mention that her fireball is basically two Yoga Fire sprites on top of each other and colored blue.
I’m already bored of SF5. When’s Star Gladiator 3.
That’s what makes it cool.
I just realized how much of a diva Ryu is about his hair color. First he’s a ginger, then he dyes it dark brown, then light brown, then fucking blue, then back to dark brown.
So he can afford to shave and dye his hair, but he refuses to wash the clothes he’s been wearing for 10+ years? Seems legit.

(I suck at taking screenshots, especially in WinKawaks)
Top half are his original sprites, untouched since SF2
Bottom half are his new sprites for ST
You can clearly see that they were drawn way after SF2 and probably by another person, the difference is very noticeable when you are watching a match in ST, they don’t mix well together but at this point I guess most people that play/watch that game got so used that they don’t really notice it anymore.
The same thing happened for a lot of characters that got new moves that don’t recycle old sprites: Zangief’s whiffed-SPD animation, Chun’s Kikouken, Guile’s Sonic Boom (his animation is different for whatever reason), Ryu’s overhead and solar plexus and Ken’s crazy kicks are a few of them
It was just one of the reasons that drove me away from ST back in the days
It’s really noticeable on Guile’s stand fierce too.
You know what I’m bored of? These half-assed trolled replies that do nothing but fish for reactions.
I wonder if I should start “discouraging” them so we can get some actual useful discussion done.
That’s not what’s preventing discussion. A combination of a lack of information and a serious deficit of hype are what’s preventing discussion.
People just don’t care. I went insane when I saw the SF4 announcement trailer. Reaction to SF5 trailer? Shrug.
Lack of Infomation never prevented discussion before. I remember the Marvel 3 board booming with discussion he’s it’s debut trailer hit.
People have become jaded with Capcom.
Speak for yourself, me and a lot of other people are hyped as fuck for SFV!
I’m mainly just waiting for Capcom Cup to see the demo build. Does anyone think it’ll have additional characters or only Ryu and Chun?
There was like an 8 year gap between 3S and the 1st SF4 trailer with nothing but re-releases of older SF games, so of course you’re going to be way more hyped. Not to mention the SF4 teaser with Ryu and Ken fighting in the field was trying much harder to capture everyone’s attention. The SF5 reveal was literally like 5 seconds of gameplay with some calm ass music while a guy is giving a motivational speech.
We literally just got a new version of SF4 THIS YEAR, so obviously the amount of excitement is going to be nowhere near the levels of the SF4 reveal. The leap from 3S to SF4 was 2D to 3D, while SF4 to SF5 is just much better graphics. Literally everything about the SF4 reveal was destined to be more exciting than the SF5 reveal, so you can’t really compare the two. I know I’m not as hype as when I saw the SF4 teaser, but it’s only natural now that we’ve been getting new SF games/updates for the past 6 years.
Same thing with MvC2 to MvC3. There was a 10 year gap between MvC2 release and MvC3 reveal, and the same 2D to 3D transition occured. You don’t see people flipping there shit about CoD anymore because they are used to it now.
Give it some time, I bet after Capcom Cup and around the first months of 2015 when more is revealed there will be shit ton more posts here and a lot more hype.
Just looking at Ryu’s sf2 sprite makes my knees hurt wtf.
These guys should be hired. Back to basics I say. No super meter, limited cast, simple music and no comeback mechanic.
