This is true.
And I strongly believe that the plant is the main character of that movie. Think about it. The plant is awesome.
Dictator; Akuma was supposed to have killed him for good at the end of ST with the Shun Goku Satsu and then (supposedly) Boxer takes over Shadaloo and runs it into the ground (with “help” from Chun li and Guile).
@Rhio2k - yeah, its all pretty squalid, the storyline was just fine and subtle before they started making all the retcons in Alpha/Zero. The Sagat becoming a honorable guy thing, I approved of; the dolls thing I could sit with, and so was the psycho drive stuff. But then they decided to throw in the Ingrid bullshit for no real reason, the Maki stuff was…iffy but I guess it could kinda work since it only would effect Guy. Then SF4 just totally throws it out the window; we’ve got Bison alive again, fucking GOUKEN revived from the dead and its just a big mess. There were some other plot points I also didn’t sit well with, but can’t remember them now.
Bison and Gouken did not need to be revived and given a retarded story; its simply an excuse to give them a reason to have the scrubs and casuals not complain, “How come these guys don’t have teh storyline”. They could have just as easily made them “versus” characters and kept them out.
fair enough, it was the perfect storm of geekiness all bombarding the bored mind. like when i connected Final fantasy VII to Something wickid this way comes.
Thank you. I’ve long thought that the easiest way to fix the quality of fighting game stories was simply to have characters die, finish their reason for fighting, or grow and change, then make them selectable in non-story modes, but only have the living/fighting/older/whatever ones selectable in story mode. It’s so simple…
Wrong company for that shit. You’re thinking of SNK.
lol, that’s the same company that’s kept Kyo and Iori 20 years of age in every KOF since KOF 94’.
At least Capcom had Third Strike to give us a older Ryu and Ken.
But they’ve changed FAR more often than boring-ass Ken and his pallete-swap Ryu. Btw, is 3rd Strike the ONLY sf3 game you ever heard of?? Why do Capcom fans seem to not know the SF3 series started with New Generation? Makes the poor dears look ignorant. Older Ken and Ryu were introduced in the first SF3, not Third Strike. Learn the history of the franchise you so dote on. It looks pretty bad when it’s detractor know more about it than those who defend it, but then again, I speak from knowledge and history ( I’ve practically lived and breathed every company’s franchise), rather than just dabbling, following the latest trend in fighters, and only playing games that are “played competitively” (stupid phrase, really: the object of any game is to beat the shit out of our opponent. There is no “Everybody wins!” ergo ALL fighters are played competitively. Never figured out why people don’t just ask “what games have a tourney scene?”.). I’ve done some extreme shit, like plunking down 350 for a japanese dc and sf3 W Impact months before the us release back in the day. I was that hardcore for fighters. Wasn’t stupid enough to fall for MK or killer instinct’s shallow shit though. Having lived on both sides of the fence, I can see clearly what each company does with their franchises as far as sequels are concerned, and Capcom’s not really going anywhere. Every new game with sf characters eventually becomes a remake of SSFT (with nothing new for the returning characters, except for what new limited extra uses the current system tweaks allow them to use their 10-20 year-old movesets for), plus a couple new characters.
Now, about the sf3 series and Capcom/Snk comparisons in general concerning their number 1 franchises when it comes to sequels and characerts growing and changing: aside from only 1 new move and kinda-new super for Ryu, 1 tweaked existing super, an entirely new super, as well as a modified version of the Hienshu from the EX series for Chun Li, and a Power Geyser/Raising Storm ripoff super for Akuma, the remainder of returning SF cast, Ken, had nothing new to offer, whereas most kof characters get updated shit in some form or another every sequel, while Capcom trots out the same old shit every “update”, with a couple new characters and some universal system feature/gimmick or a simplified universal command.
lol Calm down, man. I’m not riding Capcom’s balls; only point I was making is that the KOF saga must be incredibly compressed to have the characters stay the same age across that many titles.
About New Generation, Second Impact; I prefer Second Impact to Third Strike but I’m not big on SF3 in general. I just said third strike because its the one most people are associated with.
Oh…oh, I beg your pardon, my good man. puts monocle back in I don’t know what came over me. I just…became incensed, and was all but ready to challenge you to fisticuffs. Imagine that. Brawling as if we were a pair of common louts. Terrible manners. I wholeheartedly apologize, good sir. I shall endeavor never to lose my temper in this manner again. tips top hat
haha.
Still, my main thing is that Capcom gave us a middle aged Ryu, but Iori and Kyo have still been in high school since 94’.
But gameplay-wise, yeah its obvious SNK updates it characters a lot more than Capcom.
Snk is still going chronologically. Seems to be safest, you know? Look what happens when people start doing flash-forwards: Tarzan 2 taking place 20 years before Tarzan 1, Sf4 taking place before 3, and Alpha before 2, Lion King 3/ 1 1/2 taking place at the same time LK1 did, rather than between 1 and 2. Time skips just fuck everything up.
Kyo, Iori and Terry have all changed looks over time too. That’s something Ryu and Ken pretty much can’t. They have a reason though, it’s a bit of a curse to be so iconic.
I mean, does Ryu really look older in III, whatever the numbers say? I never noticed.
wasnt iori and kyo around 17 on kof94?? or that was shit of the manga?
also my guess is that capcom is so affraid to mess with the formula unlike other companies like snk or asw who changes the specials, normals, and kill characters for good
That sounds about right…
Iori wasn’t around until 95, though…
No, because he had his glasses off. 
true, but you know what i mean, kyo was suposedly in college on kof 94 and iori has been always around the same age of kyo, iirc kyo was like 17 on kof 94, heck i believe that he was 17 until 97 and iori as well
lo, the superman syndrome can work on the comic world, but in the animu world is the sailor moon syndrome, you use a shorter skirt and no one recognize you :looney:
Kyo has NOT been in college. He’s been in/out of High School throughout the whole series. Being in High School so damn long was how he met Shingo.
sorry, i forgot, is just that college = high school on spanish :razz:
Maybe he’s just a really bad student. Neglecting his homework to go fight in tournaments, that’s why he’s been in school for so long.
