YES, ROTFL. It’s more indirect in Japanese, but brilliantly translated nonetheless.A shocking confession! ”Well, that was unexpected. The Ryu/Bison shippers are going to be thrilled, though. ”)
Lord_Vega:
In the jap version, is she able to “travel through time”? I always though that, actually, she was able to have (perfect, unlike Rose who can have a tiny glimpse of it) visions of the future.
Yes, she is. Even in PXZ2 she can do it, but it’s clear she is able to travel through space and time only when she has her emblem - and that’s why she wants to retrieve it from Vega. Basically, she’s like the Doctor trying to get back the TARDIS.knows about Doctor Who: if “Doctor Woo” with that robotic dog which resembled K-9 isn’t a blatant reference, I don’t know what it is…).visions , but as Ryoredcyclone once pointed out, it’s very likely she knows the future for certain. When she says to Rose that she’s going to resolve the matter with Vega in 15 minutes, she doesn’t use the assumption forms the Japanese language normally uses, but gives it as a matter of fact.

@Shockdingo that spot got surprising good casting despite being just few seconds scenes

Yeah, I was surprised how good it all looked! Maki was freakin’ perfect!
SNK had tons of that too but not as good as Capcom that used body double for the face like they did with Vega/Claw.
It’s not spot-on the body especially with Haggar and Carlos but it does a good job .
I remember something of my old post about a SF promotional video of Mike Moh and Tyson.
The_Shakunetsu:
I would watch it with Mike Moh as Feilong versus Boxer as Tyson.
Would be fangasm.
Mike Moh is now a better Feilong than a Ryu that was meant to be bulky in WW
No story just a fight scene is in front of Golden Nugget in Vegas.
Complete with the announcer and a crowd.
With a cameo of Bison, Claw and Ken(same Ken perfect casting) would be nice.
They should just go on mini series on YT with just “Fight SCENES” and no stories.
Instead forcing cliche like starwars that makes the story terrible and regrettable for Capcom. Or a bad move to the franchise that would cause more complication, convulted and inconsistency on the iconic characters appeal to the public.
That they would just throw cheesy one liner like winquotes from the actual game during each time one of them make another fall on the ground or being hit by a very hard attack then the other remark back with also a quote mentioned in the game when standing up or recovering from that attack
Thats the better direction now better actors and more interesting location that can be exact to the game stages , because there is no story and not too much restriction for the budget because of other stuff plus no chances of inconsistency and no problem with conflicting with future in-game retcons and changes on whats canon or not.
That would be what I would prefer for future attempts of SF Live Action did mention it before so no conflicting stories
The location can be anywhere identical to in-game that no need to write anything why they were there in the first place.
That would be a perfect scene even for just a one shot 5 minute battle.
The_Shakunetsu:
Yet this SF2 commercials were amazing back in the day. The one with Chun was also nice.
It doesn’t need so much script for live action but the settings/location, actors and fight scenes are better to justify a decent SF live action.
The_Shakunetsu:
If not same goes with the same idea of Mike Moh as Feilong but against someone with the similar like those Chun li examples.
But seeing Tyson in a sort of a better shape doing Balrog in Golden Nugget is a scene that would be to awesome to see.

I think you guys get too hung up on finding an actor that looks the part, instead of one that can PLAY the part.

Ideally, a good balance of both aspects should be pursued.

that’s where the body double comes in like they did here
since the commercial had two actors, one for the face and the other for the body.
plus we had deep fake to make thing work easier compare in the 90s and early 2ks
Especially with the technology nowadays compare to the yesterdays that was used on that fake bruce lee scene.
Even p0rn used this one nowadays for fake celebrity stuff.
Comparing to another form of duplication used in terminator.
Its not the same holywood budget used in terminator but with the Jim Carey one it worked.
any difficulties and doubts, is not a problem nowadays were advance…

A bit of a longshot, but does anyone have a scan of Charlie from Guile’s tearful flashback in Masaomi Kanzaki’s SF2 manga? It’d help me out for a project.
Thanks in advance!

On an unrelated note:
Megaman X and Zero have a tendency of perfectly mimicking both Ryu and Ken’s techniques.
Meanwhile, some bosses (particularly in Megaman X4) tend to borrow techniques from known Street Fighter characters (Slash Beast = Nash and Magma Dragoon being a literal exaggeration of Gouki).

Hey man, I also found the page. Since you have the color version, I’ll just shoot what’s in the text to you:
Guile: “STOP!”
“When I realized what I was doing… With my own hands I… Charlie…”
But I actually like the Spanish version more because it’s more direct: “I couldn’t avoid it, I had to kill Charlie, my best friend.”
