UDON presents Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki

Makoto looks so cute in that panel where she’s shouting and pointing her finger at her laughing classmates.:lovin::lovin:

Elena should also make an appearance as she’s also a high school student.

If this storyline occurred in the SF2 era, we could have had an all schoolgirl brawl.

Ibuki vs. Makoto vs. Elena vs. Sakura vs. Karin vs. Hinata vs. Natsu vs. Kei (as we’ve seen in SF Legends: Sakura #4, Kei can take care of herself).

is it me or is the Legend series all female based

Tizoc · 2009-12-10T19:50:57.000Z

It’s female based so far, but they may make ‘male’-centric stories in the future =3

And i’m just fine with that. :tup:

Truest_Strike · 2009-12-11T03:29:22.000Z

I can’t wait for this series. The piece with Makoto already has me hype, so I’m glad more exposure will be given to the SFIII side of things, such as their characters.

Wonder if Oro will appear, trying to pull off some fast ones like he did if I remember correctly, in his quotes for SFIII.

Wow, I hope Oro appears. He can test fight Ibuki at the end of the Ibuki series so that she can pass her test on becoming a ninja like in the canon! Oro will become upset at first when he thought she was looking for a date LOL

(This is the perfect place for this to happen and I really hope Udon takes note, but knowing them, they already have!)

Thanks Matt and Udon again for all your incredible work in making this happen!

SF III characters to appear so far-
IBUKI/Q/HUGO(W/POISON)/ORO/YUN/YANG/MAKOTO/ALEX

SF III characters yet to appear-
DUDLEY/NECRO(W/EFFIE)/TWELVE/URIEN/GILL/ELENA/REMY/SEAN

Exactly halfway there!

Can’t wait to see NECRO and all the rest! Thanks again, Udon! My favorite comic series EVER!

Where is the Final Fight mini-series I was promised like a year ago, Udon?

Truest_Strike · 2009-12-12T06:18:14.000Z

Maybe they’ll have the FF series shortly after the release of SSFIV.

UDON is gonna want to take advantage of the wave! SFIII series along with Ibuki mini AND FF series would be too much… and I’ll accept that

UDON didn’t actually promise a Final Fight series. We said that if there was enough support for the two issues of SF2Turbo where the Final Fight cast showed up that we’d look into doing a Final Fight mini-series.

That’s it. That’s all we’ve said.

We didn’t commit to doing one and definitely didn’t give it a time line for releasing a series.

Truest_Strike · 2009-12-13T23:18:11.000Z

So how did the support on those two issues go then?

MattMoylan · 2009-12-15T02:38:34.000Z

ThunderKick:

So how did the support on those two issues go then?

While the individual issue sales are in, we still have to see how well the trade paperbacks sell before making decisions on new series. So it’ll be a bit before we see how well the new round of trades sells.

Either I forgot or I honestly had no idea you had an SRK account. Thanks for posting man! You signed my Makeshift Miracle book at a New York con a few of years ago.

Orphen · 2009-12-15T04:08:34.000Z

Damn this looks awesome. :]

Frankfurt · 2009-12-15T04:46:01.000Z

Is Ibuki going to be a secondary character, like Chun-li was?

System_1 · 2009-12-15T09:16:16.000Z

Frankfurt:

I didn’t think Chun-Li was a secondary character in her own mini… but I can assure you that Ibuki is at the core of this story and the main character through and through.

I usually leave the posting to Matt when it comes to official UDON correspondence on SRK.

You’re welcome. I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

We’re all really excited about the Ibuki series and looking forward to the fan response once its released.

It’s definitely a possibility.

Elena will be a part of the story, I can tell you that.

Hopefully we’ll be able to give you more info about those related comics soon.

Long, long before the Final Fight license was given to Udon, Erik Ko said in this very forum ages ago, that Udon did not have the license for Final Fight, so making a comic based off it would be impossible. And the only time that would ever happen, is if they were able to secure said license from Capcom. I understand Udon has to be choosy with what licenses they put out there, after such, um, “brief” runs with Darkstalkers and Rival Schools…

But now Capcom is finally re-releasing Final Fight for the PSN and XBLA, with online play, filters to make it shine a bit brighter in HD, and remixed music, this April…and, well?

Lost opportunity. You could have even had a bit of cross promotion; this new downloadable release has a “vault” where the player can unlock various goodies, including artwork, music, etc. How cool would it have been if the player could unlock a digital image of the Final Fight #1 cover? “Hey, I like Final Fight, I didn’t know there was a comic! Maybe I should purchase this!” Again, that ship has sailed. Oh well.

But instead, another Legends series focusing on a girl character. It’s been forever since we seen those. Obviously, since you keep putting them out, they must be successful for you guys, so I’m thankful for that, but again…it wouldn’t hurt to branch out for a simple 3-ish mini-series, featuring two of the characters that will be appearing in Super Street Fighter IV this spring.
