It looks like Charlie’s a smoker too. In the SFA2 strategy guide there’s a drawing of him with a cigarette in his hand and in a color collage of the SF characters where it looks ike they’re ripped up pieces of paper, he has a cigarette in his mouth
E. Honda artwork
Surfing the net I found this site with a pic of E. Honda and I never saw it before. Is it official artwork?

Aerialgroove - You were right about Urien’s skin color change. Can’t believe I’ve never noticed that before. In retrospect, it’s a bit odd that in all official arts he appears darker than Elena or Dudley. Ah well, being Gill’s brother prolly makes him not of African decent anyways.
In the last Issue of PSM, they talk about Devil May Cry 3 and don’t reveal the name of the game’s new director, only say that it is not Shinji Mikami or the director of DMC2 since they are both busy on other projects. The only hint they give is that the director is famous for throwing Fireballs. Dare I say it, looks like Noritaka Funamizu, the main guy behind SF is directing it! Also, there are two pictures for DMC3 and given the Art Style I’ll bet money they are from Kinu Nishimura! DMC3 is on my must buy list, along with the Xbox so I can get SF2, SF3, SVC and GG XX Reload Online! Good times coming ahead indeed!
Blah… SF people working on other games is just another proof that Capcom aren’t doing anything new anytime soon…
Yeah, I kind of gave up hoping for SF4 myself anyways. Maybe in like a Decade or so we’ll see SF4.
Didn’t CAPCOM hold a meeting w/ a focus group a few weeks ago in California? They asked the group members/fans if they wanted to see a sequel to street fighter or a brand new 2D fighting game. I guess it was a hush hush closed door type of meeting so they didn’t release any information.
Something else nobody will give a Damnd about…
…in Final Fight there is this guy in a red suit named “HOLLY WOOD” and he has a suicidal attack, he uses a molotov cocktail to set himself on fire.
I think this could be a hint to “BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN”. Oh yeah. :wtf:
More info that probably no one will give a Damnd about…
I was reading through the character bios in the SF2 Turbo instruction booklet and it reminding me of SF2 details that I completely forgot.
This was from Ken’s bio:
“For the past year, Ken has let his skill deteriorate and has spent most of his time on the beach with his girlfriend. Only a challenge from Ryu, rekindled his fighting spirit”
This was taken from Blanka’s bio:
"…But, it has been only within the last year, that the beast named Blanka appeared in the cities of Brazil and challenged any fighter who would dare oppose him."
Chun Li claims to be the strongest woman in the world.
Warning
Don’t buy the All About Deluxe SFIII New Generation book (buy the normal one instead) it sucks. The few rare images that you haven’t seen a million times already are always covered partwise of stupid screenshots. The layout is a mess and all important drawings are screwed this way so nothing to scan.
Warning
I wonder though if there’s any extra info in the text compared to the other book. Anyway up until now it’s been fairly low on my priority list of storyline materials to get. We’ll have to see…:rolleyes:
Is there any official CD with image files of official capcom drawings? Not that I believe there is, I never saw any, but just curious.
(Besides the Illustration galleries of SFA2 and CVS2 Fan Disc)
Hey guys, not sf-story related but word of a new capcom fighting game.
http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/capcomfightingjam/screenindex.html
Looks like another vs game but with strictly Capcom characters. So far it looks like Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers vs Warzard.
Oh well, enough of this intermission, carry on with the plot discussions!
:rolleyes: another sprite recycling game. oh well I’ll buy it anyway, I’m such a sheep
This is what people wanted. Capcom tried with CFAS, and the number one complaints were-
A) It’s ugly, 3D sucks and it should be 2D
B) This game doesn’t have enough All Stars!
So now it seems it will be 2D and a true All Star Game. Yeah, they’re still Re-using Sprites, but everybody does that anyways. I just hope they touch up Morrigan’s Sprite and make it look Semi Decent. I notice the black outline is gone from Felicia’s Sprite at least.
I still wonder if the CFAS Characters Ingrid, D.D., Rook and Death will be included in the Game. Here’s a 2D Sprite rendition of Death I came across some time ago. I can’t remember exactly where it’s from.
No, what people want is Street Fighter 4. Capcom knows it, but they won’t do it ‘cuz they don’t give a crap what their fans want. Instead, they decide to put out a bunch of weird 3D games until they get a hit and milk as many sequels out of it as fast as they can until it gets stale. I guess it’s too much work for them to create a brand new 2D fighting game w/ brand new character sprites and a brand new story. Buncha’ lazy bastards. Doesn’t anyone get tired of this?
I have no beef w/ CAPCOM making 3D fighting games. The problem is that they don’t do 3D fighting games correctly. They’ve always been pretty lazy, but there was a time when Capcom used to be a pretty decent company. I wonder what’s caused to become so uninspired and tired. The only CAPCOM game I’m really looking forward too is Monster Hunters.
Just give up hoping for SF4. I did some time ago.
Since Ryu and Chun-Li are in it, I’ll admit I’m easily pleased…
Hey, Ingrid’s in it I hear so she has to get a new Sprite, unless they use Chun-Li’s Pocket Fighter Sprite and change the colors so she can look like Ingrid!:lol:
You may be right about this game being a sort of a 2d CFAS, sano.
I just looked over the forums at madman’s cafe and found that Ingrid is in it. One of the posters there also provided these links:
The artwork on those images you posted (especially the mouths) look like the SNK artist, who also did that of FFOne, drew them. I guess he’ll be the new Bengus.
They really are lazy as hell, I bet they still use the same sprites for player 1 & 2 like every single character in every 2D fighter they made so far (except for Gill). If they make an allstar game why don’t they put all SF characters of 1, 2 and 3 in, that would be something for the SF at least. No it’s the usual Ryu, Guile, Chun-Li cast.
capcom says there’s going to be more then 25 characters.
Just a random question…
Is Joe from SF1 really homeless? I’ve heard that from many websites.
Guile’s ending kinda’ messes up his motive in SF2, which is to avenge Charlie’s death by killing M. Bison. I understand that Guile’s upset, but he can’t really blame M.Bison for Charlie’s death, being as it was him who caused the problem. Charlie’s the one who set the bombs. His SFA 1 & 2 endings make more sense.
Recently I heard about an interview with a lead designer on SFA3 in some UK Dreamcast magazine. He stated that all the ideas that they had in the subsequent SUPER series of Street Fighter were injected into the Alpha series, he then describes the Alpha series as a ‘What if’ scenario.
