That SF2 Championship Edition cover makes you realize just how stupid the Scissor Kick attack would look in real life.
you mean… how unrealistic it would be to do a front flip and hit someone with the edge of your feet one after another (all full aerial)
and at the same time having the balance to land properly with both feet afterwards.
jesus christ that akuma is hideous.
turbografix bomberman is tits though.
…
It’s like… the artist took someone’s head, and shifted his whole goddamn FACE to the side of his head…
The only characters that look remotely decent is T. Hawk and rape-face DeeJay
thawk’s head is almost as big as his torso though
Tame as shit compared to the others.
Blanka and Chun-Li should be rocketing to outer space.
And don’t get me started on how far Cammy’s head is sitting on her shoulder.
This is from the same game where you can focus or channel your ki/qi/chi (how ever you want to spell it) into a ball of energy and shoot/toss this at the enemy as a attack.
The same series we got a Brazillian feral man-child mutant who learned to produced a large amount of electrical voltage from watching electric Eels.
And your complaint is the realism of a kick that got introduced in a 1992 video game?
Agreed
bison is actually sitting on the crate and flailing his feet
You missed the point; it’s not about “realism.”
It’s that throwing a fireball or generating electricity from your body doesn’t look nearly as goofy as a megalomaniac dictator flying at someone ass-first.
Scissor kick may look odd but that shit hurts.

You brought up “Real Life” then when I telling you that you making mountains out of mole hills you say “it’s not about ‘realism’.” Get out of here with that nonsense.
Of course game covers look stupid, the back log of old capcom game covers are known for that.
Look at the North America release of Mega Man, but the SF2 Championship Edition cover is no way as bad.
But then this was the age that the cover almost never looked like the actual game, and you ended up using your imagination
over the in-game graphics.

You can hate this all you want, but this is a reasonably actuate depiction of the game. They didn’t invent something that didn’t exist in the game.

I actually prefer the US version to here the European cover. Ryu looks drunk here and I don’t even get why Bison has his arms crossed in this way.
The Japanese version uses the same front side illustration, and that red bottom border makes the packaging look cheap.
Ryu looks like he got the rinnegan implanted in his left eye while having a seizure on the right side of his face.
What about when he flies perfectly vertical defying gravity for about 8 feet?
Sliding the same distance on his feet with no previous kinetic energy built up?
FUCKING TELEPORTING?
Oh my god, are you people even reading?
I’m talking about aesthetics here. Think of what Guile is seeing from a first-person perspective when Bison does the Scissor Kick. Or if you happen to have SFIV 3D, you can sort of see for yourself.
Of course real people don’t have superpowers. For fuck’s sake.
Think of what Guile is feeling from a first person perspective when he slaps his arms together so hard that it creates a flying frisbee of light that can actually cut things.
You’re like, maybe 2 or 3 posts from being Alan Edrick tier right now.
I think his point is that the scissor kick, like most SF moves, would look absolutely ridiculous in real life and that cover illustrates it pretty well. Which is true.
