Is this truly accepted? Even within the Official SF storyline thread? I havenāt been around that thread at all here, but those peeps are the ones working on the Canon Guide of SF.
If Udon does in fact have say in the Canonā¦then GG to the storyline already. Iād feel 100% more at ease if it was Capcom Japan telling the storyline then to simply give it to other people, because we may āpotentiallyā end up with nonsense like what we have with Star Wars currently to where their is so much other garbage that I simply donāt care anymore. Seeing Gouki in the Udon comics taking out a meteorā¦Lmao, please, this better not be Canon.
I already started to despise the path in which the SF the storyline was heading into in contrast to what it originally was years ago. SNH at the beginning was not something entirely evil, but just the purest form of Ansatsuken with the willingness to Kill an Opponent if necessary to achieve victory, in which allowed a practitioner to tap into SNH because of this. Ryu not being āEvilā when utilizing SNH, but simply with the pure intent to Kill if it means winning. Now a days his SNH Ryu is waay too Devil Jin like.
The whole Oni thing already lowered Gouki in my opinion, because before the entire Oni thing ever took place, Gouki was that super ridiculous because it was purely on his philosophy, training, and supreme mastery of the Ansatsuken, and more importantly he is always 100% in control at everything that he does, not because of some possession or whatever have you, which makes it so boring. Shin Gouki will always be 100x more appealing to me then the Oni persona.
The original concepts was the reason why I loved the SF storyline as opposed to the Tekken storyline, because some of the strongest in the SF world, Gouki, Ryu, Sagat etc, were not āgivenā trump cards but achieved their level of dominance through sheer training, experience and determination. In Tekken, Jin Kazama is already powerful through training, but because of the Devil Gene it automatically throws him up into Super Elite Status literally for free.
Iām hoping that when SF5 comes out, that theyāll have thrown away the entire nonsense of Evil Ryu, and set Ryu on the path that was on in SF3 already in which he has surpassed his SNH counterpart and even equaled him in strength and capability & the same with Oni for Gouki.
Sorry if I detracted a little bit, however it seems like people were talking about this, while I was gone and I just wanted to state my opinion on the matter. Yes, this is also one of the gripes I had about SF:AF the persona of making SNH looking like itās a personification of evil or pushing it to that sense, but I guess this is the path that Capcom official is going if thatās the case? Yuck.
