Anyone here miss Evil Ryu? Well, miss no more, cause heâs here. Start from 17:14 onwards is his ending. I expected more, to be honest, but itâs OK I guess.
Now, do you guys think they also gave Akuma an ending? I certainly hope so.
Generations had great animations. It was short and sweet. The fights lacked the masterful choreography of the SF2AM but they were effective and artfully done.
The flashback sequences with Young Gouki and Gouken were a very interesting interpretation of one of the most significant chapters of the SF story, probably the best one yet.
Generations also introduced the concept of physical mutations due to the SNH which Capcom have adopted into the canon.
The Retsu-type old man in Generations wouldâve been a better fit for Ryu in SF4/5 than a resurrected Gouken. And introducing a potential love interest for Ryu was a great touch (only for her to be ignored by him which reveals more about him).
It was no successor to SF2AM but as a stand alone short story it wasnât anywhere near as bad as the craptastic Alpha. Generations was focused to say the least.
Ryuâs relationship with Fuka was quite interesting given the fact that they became closer and closer as it went on. A shame it wasnât developed any further, they had a lot in common.
And yeah the SNH being a negative force that eats away at the body and personality of its user, until they become brainless murderers was a good concept.
That scene where you see ancient SNH users brutally killing each other while the Old Manâs explains how despicable those past events were still gives me the chills.
I like the casual clothes Ryu, ken, young Akuma, mutation SNH, Sakura-vs-Ryu-scene and ancestor stuff in SNH in a generation, while the other design and story of it is not for me.
I enjoyed it along with SFA movie and SF2v anime for being alternative stuff of entertainment for SF like Marvelâs What if comics, but not as a story progression.
I see them interesting because of the controversial what if revelations by introducing a different perspective like Ryuâs brother or family.
while ties that bind, Juri movie and SF2AM wasnât that deep and interesting for Ryu that I favor as a character but I wouldnât have problems with those being adopt or absorb in SFâs story because it feels more fitting than the rest I mentioned earlier. IMHO
I have always thought that a SF anime would be AWESOME! If Madhouse (or even Pierrot) animated these games, the SF anime would be a great success IMO.

I think the animation and art are lazy garbage that substitute lazy shitty 'tweening for âmuh artistic style!â and that the story is just more over-dramatic trash between two DEEPLY uninteresting characters at this point (Ryu & Gouki).
Injecting more Vader/Luke dynamic into that relationship just makes it more lazy and uninteresting.
