i thoooought it was an alpha game. cause i remember playing it at home, and ive never owned chaos. but it could be…i was still in hs when i remember it happening. so its def something i playing 2000-2006.
Violent ken should be canon…what a waste to be used in svc.
I think it was Alpha 3 during Ryu’s story mode. Last fight is vs Ken who is controlled by Bison.
ok cool…so evil ken is technically canon. just wasnt a playable.
Naw I don’t believe that story route is Canon for Alpha 3.
Which was technically just plain old Ken anyway.
Hi all. I loved the series. I also bought the soundtrack off iTunes but I can’t seem to find my favourite track :(. I’m looking for the track where Gouki/Akuma trains in the cave in “Path of the Shin Oni”. Maybe I haven’t listened to the whole soundtrack properly but I can’t seem to find the track. Is it not included? Thanks.
There will be a volume2 of the album released later this year.
Daaaang you got hustled.
I couldn’t find the ken theme remix so I didn’t buy anything… although I only listened to the sample tracks so maybe it never got to that part. Also, what is the song when they went to the club?
If the whole album comes with the disc release, imma just go that route.
Yeh Ken’s theme will be on Vol2
One of our fans Lson Wang created this
dem lips 
Yeh there’s definitely a good indication of his African ancestry
Here’s one of Chris by Lixin Wang, girl has some serious art skills :tup:
Because Ryu’s ass is Ken’s and Ken’s alone.
Those kind, caring eyes. This must be Akuma post USF4 nerfs.
lol just reminded me of Dayasha’s review when he shows a clip of Gouki and Sayaka in the field taking photos and describes Akuma has “pre vortex”
Watched this a couple of days ago. Here were my thoughts;
-Overall, it was decent. The fights were okay. They were well-shot, featured rudimentary choreography, and incorporated moves from the games. However, it was a little too basic, and I would have preferred they didn’t have so many instances where one fighter is knocked down, and the other waits an eternity for him to get back up. Given the very nature of the games, it made more sense for a combatant to get up almost immediately each time, until the knockout.
-The casting was very good. Considering the limited budget, it’s impressive they got actors who looked the parts, considering neither of the two Hollywood Street Fighter movies managed as much.
- I liked that Akuma after his transformation was played by a bigger, more muscular actor than his initial form.
-They had the standard problem of 8 episodes’ worth of content stretched out to the standard 12 episode length. It wasn’t as bad as some mini-series, but there were definitely many lulls throughout.
-In particular, spending so much time on Akuma’s mastery of the Dark Hadou made no sense. Fans of the SF series are already familiar with this. And non-fans just won’t give a shit, since it’s a bunch of boring scenes of him meditating, doing pull-ups, and squatting with astonishingly little weight.
-The ratio of talking scenes to fight scenes wasn’t ideal, especially since the same points kept getting re-hashed over and over by the characters. Again, fans of the series know this shit, and even non-fans probably got tired of the monotony. Longer, more extensive, elaborate fights would have made the series better.
-There were a couple of neat touches for the fans; the cameo by Yoshihiro Ono as a nightclub proprietor, and the slightly silly Megaman 2 gaming scene.
-I’m not an expert, but based on how unexperienced/little-known most of the actors were, the shooting locations mainly being in the woods, the small number of regular cast, and limited number of special effects, my guess would be $500,000-$1 million for the series. Hey, in 2 weeks on Machinima, they made somewhere between $60,000-$90,000 in ad revenue alone, which isn’t bad.
always gonna be tough to get actors that can pull off the job while looking like their base counterparts, thought the casting was great with the exception of Ryu but thats something i can deal with personally, finding an asian built like a tank for that size is gonna be pretty much impossible
couldnt care less Joey took the Akuma thing, nevermind the fact he deserves it he also pulled it of spectacularly
Cost them 3 million.
The thing about Gouki becoming Akuma is that there is no such presentation on it. All that we know is that he embraced it. Only in Generations and in AF do we see it actually affect him. Hell, the fact that they even gave an origin behind the name Akuma is a great touch. IMO, I don’t really rewatch AF for the fights. I watch it for the young Gouki/Gouken flashbacks and the bits on SNH.
